I suspect you only did half of what Jarewill said. Did you also add your player class to a gameinfo section in a mapinfo lump like the page Jarewill linked to suggests?

[Jarewill]

Have you defined the playerclass in KEYCONF?
The command that you need is addplayerclass.
Edit: Oops, I didn't saw your post again Enjay, apologies.
I was using KEYCONF the entire time, so I didn't even know it was possible in MAPINFO.
And MAPINFO's gameinfo definition still confuses me for GAMEINFO

[doommodder]

my pc did not save the file but the code is that, and the MAPINFO is this code

Code: Select all

GameInfo
{
   PlayerClasses = "MyPlayer"
}

[Enjay]

Your mapinfo calls your player "MyPlayer" and your decorate calls it "DoomPlayer2". They need to have the same name.

thanks for the tips I should have succeeded

hi
now I've got another question.
I want change the pistol with another gun but my every attempt did not work, how should i do?
this is my code:

May i suggest taking a stroll through the ZDoom forums? Perhaps you can look and hazard a guess which you think is the accurate function to achieve what you want.

The reason i suggest this is because of this:

I tried as you said but it doesn't work.

You want to learn modding. This is great! But one does not learn simply from asking a question and recieving code in return - With a likely chance of it not working instantly as is the case here. So, lets try a different approach - And have you hazard a guess what the correct function should be, and perhaps, why you think it should be that function.

[doommodder]

you are absolutely right, but the fact is that I am Italian and I am 15 years old.
I speak English relatively well but they are all commonly used words, nothing specific, plus I do not study computer science but I study fashion and this is because I like to make mods for doom I like it but I would not do it as a job (I mean IT).
to finish I asked how to do it just because I'm at the very first codes and I don't know what they are for so if I ask for something I will be satisfied with just a couple of links to the guides of the wiki, then I managed to do everything by myself the rest of the mod , how to add altfires and add textures and make them read by doombuilder 2.
however I understand what you mean and I agree very much, it would be easier for me if there were such detailed and precise guides also in Italian

[Enjay]

you are absolutely right, but the fact is that I am Italian and I am 15 years old.

I do not know a single 15 year old British native English speaker who could communicate as effectively in Italian, French, German, Spanish... as you do in English (and I know several hundred 15 year olds via my work). (Perhaps the few exceptions being people with one French (etc) parent - but then they are natively bilingual I suppose.)

Redneckerz's advice is still good though. Most of the Wiki pages are reasonably clearly written (albeit in English) and many of the pages have example code. So that could still be your first place to look when trying to figure something out. If you're struggling to figure something out from one of the pages, then you could post about it on the forum. It's always worth trying to figure something out for yourself though because that way you tend to learn it more eff4ectively and are therefore more likely to remember it next time you need it.

I figured as much (Both being non-native and being a youngster) hence why i took a different approach to this. Part of my everyday work is to explain things to people of different age, so i have to find something what works for someone.

In this thread, i noticed you have a keen interest in modding Doom through DECORATE or DEHACKED code or even source code. It never is wrong to ask a question for feedback - That's where this forum is for But if a question is followed by another question, instead of outputting code, i prefer guidance differently, if you know what i mean.

Neither Enjay's approach or mines is ''wrong'', its just how we both try to help you the way we best can.

Also, A+ on studying fashion and following what you want - If anything, DoomGuy could use a fashion styled mod

however I understand what you mean and I agree very much, it would be easier for me if there were such detailed and precise guides also in Italian

Unfortunately language specific guides are not a thing here yet, but Graf has been working on language support of GZDoom for some time now.

So here's this: If there is any specific background question you would want to ask that is not directly code related as Community Guide's like Enjay and Blue Shadow are finitely better at that, just write me a private message and ill try to explain to the best of my efforts. Its the least i can do.

For what it's worth, I don't think our methods are particularly different. My early replies provided code but from that point on I pointed doommodder towards particular wiki pages, or explained what needed to be done without fixing it myself. So, we're probably on a very similar page, maybe even the same one.

I disagree, your approach is terrible! How is he going to learn?

I kid i kid. The difference here lies in that you opt to keep on providing code alongside wiki links, whereas i merely make the suggestion to look into the wiki first.

Similar concepts, except you are a lot more forgiving for the topicstarter than i am.

[doommodder]

thank you all for the support you are giving me, in addition I realized that I enjoy it more trying to reuse myself rather than copying someone else's work.
if you managed to nidirmi to the wiki pages you would help me a lot.

i have another problem in my wad.
I would like to replace all the weapons of doom II, all those from the pistol to the rocket launcher I managed, but when I came to have to replace the plasma gun when I start it it tells me that it did not manage to find the weapon in question (plasma gun)
