all the 'things' in the =map editor= stay but in the =game= they dissapear only leaving the script to work.

when i change it back to Zdoom (Doom in Doom format)

all the 'things' in the =map editor= stay, but the scripts are destroyed and dont run.

Hmm...check the things themselves. I did this once myself, and all the things disappeared on me too. If it's the same as what I did, then all the things are unmarked for "Single," "Co-Op," and "Deathmatch." Marking all of them for these should make them appear again.

just a quick note for you, Doom as Doom doesn't do scripts.

Yes. The Doom in Doom format really isn't that useful. You should use Doom in Hexen format instead. Just because it has "Hexen" in the name doesn't mean that you need Hexen to run it.

The lindef actions are far more extensive, flexible and useful in "Hexen" format. Whatever you are trying to do can be done better and with more options if you switch to the Hexen format. It's worth learning how to use it.

When you say "stuffs up" can you be more explicit? How does it stuff up? When does it stuff up? What have you done to your map up to the point where it stuffs up? Have you started in Doom format and then tried to switch? If so, did you use ZWADConv.exe?
