Magnificocadaver Posted July 29, 2009 Is it done in similar fashion to accessing the command line (which will be a problem, as I've been using ZDL to start up WADs)? Apologies for the noobish as hell questions, literally started doing this yesterday. :S 0 Share this post Link to post
DuckReconMajor Posted July 29, 2009 You put the DECORATE in a WAD. Then you load it like any other WAD with ZSL. Alternatively, if you don't feel like dragging out the WAD editor, you can just put your DECORATE code in a .txt and load that with -file. P.S. You can put command-line parameters in that little box at the bottom of ZSL. 0 Share this post Link to post
Butts Posted July 29, 2009 Uhh... Just use XWE or SLumpEd and make a DECORATE lump in the wad itself? 0 Share this post Link to post

Can you be more specific in regards to "putting DECORATE" in a WAD/.txt file (as in, do I insert the code into a pre-existing document)? 0 Share this post Link to post
DuckReconMajor Posted July 29, 2009 You'll need a wad editor. Most people use either XWE or SLumpEd. I suggest XWE if you're just starting out. Whichever one you download, if you're on Windows Vista, make sure you always Run as Administrator. I'll tell you how to do this with XWE: Open XWE File -> New Name the wad whatever you want Entry -> New Name the new entry "DECORATE" Write your scripz in it When you're ready, load it as you would any other wad. 0 Share this post Link to post

Also, I don't remember SLumpEd requiring to be run as an administrator. But you don't even need it. You can make a file named decorate.whateverextensionyoufeellikegivingit, zip it along whatever wad you're doing, and load the zip. 0 Share this post Link to post
DuckReconMajor Posted July 29, 2009 Heh, that's actually a generic "template" sort of thing I take from a PM, since people are always asking about DECORATE. I think it needs to be updated.Gez said:And I suggest SLumpEd in the same case, because it has a simpler interface.I actually started with SLumpEd, but switched to XWE because all of the help guides I found were all for XWE. Glad to see this is changing.Gez said:Also, I don't remember SLumpEd requiring to be run as an administrator.Oh. I guess I never tried it without Administrator. 0 Share this post Link to post
