Erg...

... ok. I need some Zdoom help- it seems that whenever I play a zdoom specific level, the map name is just changed on the auto map. Now how is this done? I just feel bad now because I know how to script, but I don't know how to change the map name... drats. So uh- help on that would be nice!

BTW, I'm using WadAuthor...

there is a lump called the mapinfo lump. This lets you change level names and stuff like that. Its very easy to use and you can to do it at http://zdoom.notgod.com/reference/mapinfo.html
A great help to learn more is to look at a mapinfo lump from another wad, such as dark7mpk1, or that new dissolution.

Ok- I understand what to do, but is there anyway to edit this mapinfo lump from WadAuthor? (Epyo- I'm pretty sure you use DeepSea, right?)

Because I don't know how to edit it from WadAuthor if their is a way...

I dont know. The eastiest way is with that program XWE. First i opened notepad and made the mapinfo lump and saved it as mapinfo.lmp (obvious...)Next i opened up my wad with XWE. I clicked on the entry button at the top of the screen, and then clicked on load. I clicked on my mapinfo.lmp and clicked open, and then exited xwe. Done.

Epyo- thank you very much for telling me how to do it in XWE, it works like a charm :-)

BTW- CAPSLOCK is great... especially level 2...

You can also do it with Wintex, as the lump is a standard text file. Create it with Notepad or whatever, then insert it into your wad as a data lump. (but make sure that Hexen is selected as the game)

But no, you can't edit it from within WadAuthor.

John Williston, the creator of WadAuthor, had plans to include lump management in the program. But that was over a year ago, and no one has heard from him since. Too bad.
