heretic.wad backup - Copy - Copy

Cool. Your file naming is marvellous.

Otherwise, do you know that there are sections in MAPINFO?

"sorcerer 2","sorcerer 3"

Are spaces in class names allowed at all?

If you had defined your own skill it should be look like this:

Code: Select all

skill fenetudja
{
  name = "ezt se tudom"
  spawnfilter = 5
  nopain
} 

line 2:

It cannot be in the line 2.

[haru00988]

what do you mean?

i dont have fenetudja at all i have this
ReplaceActor = "sorcerer 2","sorcerer 3"

[haru00988]

i'll send you it then check out the decorate and mapinfo

If you keep on going the way you do now, then you will soon find that nobody is going to help.

It is commendable that you want to create your own map, but ...
... this may be the age of instant gratification, yet as with anything in life, you have to learn the basics first.

And the way to learn is to read a lot, especially the WIKI, and to dissect various pwads, see the Projects thread,
and to learn from existing DECORATE lumps therein.

Just answer me two questions:

Why now? Why can't you wait a while?

Like the previous topic title:

Why should anyone hurry up just for the sake of you?

[haru00988]

because im in hurry, and nobody wants to help with my project, and i''m not that good at it maybe because im only 14 years right now and i speak danish not english that much, that does it a bit harder

Why don't you post your MAPINFO skill definition? We can try to look into the problem.

Also you can't use spaces in actor definitions. "sorcerer 2" and "sorcerer 3" are not valid, IMO. Try to use "sorcerer2" and "sorcerer3", for example.

[haru00988]

no it still says the same error, wat do you mean by mapnfo skill definition?

[Remmirath]

Post your code here, and we'll take a look at it.

There's your problem. ReplaceActor can't be defined outside of a skill definition.

You need to create a new skill level. More info here: http://zdoom.org/wiki/MAPINFO/Skill_definition

Also, please refrain from doing double posts. You can post all your code in a single post. And it would be great if you could use

Code: Select all

 tags for every code snippet you post.
