How to import enemies that contain Zscript

[BucketHoodie]

I would like to know how i can Import enemies from the realm 667 bestiary, Ialready know how to import monsters that use decorate (definitely not because of Chubzdoomer's tutorial),but i have a few enemies that I wanna use but have troubles importing.

The importing process is mostly the same as with DECORATE, except instead of putting the DoomEd number in the ZScript itself, you have to put it in MAPINFO.
For example:

Code: Select all

DoomEdNums
{
	number = monster
	24001 = SpookyRevenant
}

Also, even though they won't appear in the list, they will still appear once the map is loaded:
You will have to change the type manually here:

I tried inputting the tag and the class name of the monster but it didn't work, what could be a fix?

Post your entire project, or a *very* specific step by step as to exactly what you're doing to try to import.

I don't see anything ZScript-related in your project.

Theres supposed to be a Zscript file for the "Roach" enemy from the realm 667 bestiary.

For me there was nothing Roach-related in the wad.
I have also copied all files from the enemy and assigned a number in MAPINFO and it worked normally.
Of course, the thing type had to be changed manually, as the monster didn't appear in the user-defined category.

I tried replacing the files, set the ednumber in MAPINFO, and it still doesnt work.

Might I ask what editor do you use for making the map and what program for importing the files?

I am Using SLADE3 for importing files into doom and GZDoom Builder for maps.

Alright, when you are importing the monster files, do you have GZDoom Builder open in the background?
Because if GZDoom Builder is open with the map also open, it won't update on the fly.

It's important to close the map before doing anything in SLADE:

The same thing with SLADE: once the files are imported, SLADE should be closed.
Otherwise, GZDB and SLADE will keep updating the same file without keeping the progress of the other program.
I don't really know how to explain what I mean.

I was running gzdb and slade simultaneously, but when i tried opening slade, imported the files, closed slade, and opened the wad in GZDoom builder, it still didnt work. Ill even send you an updated version if you like to see inside again, http://www.mediafire.com/file/ry98w77na ... 9.wad/file

At this point, I have no clue what could be wrong here, sorry.

Does this only happen with ZScript?
Realm667's monsters come in both ZScript and DECORATE. (in the file named OLDCODE)
Might be worth checking if the DECORATE code works.

I Havent tried the decorate files yet. Mainly because I dont know SLADE so idk how tf I convert it back into decorate as in the original files of the enemy, its just recognized as a text file.
