XWE is being a b*tch

[DenisBelmondo]

I was working on my weapons mod, then all of a sudden, my D_WEPS lump (a regular DECORATE lump used by the "#include" function) was turned into an image! Can someone tell me if I could convert the image back to a text file? I tried opening D_WEPS with Notepad, but as I thought, it came up with a bunch of gibberish.



Anyway, here's the WAD

I apologize for my 16th help topic, but this one really pisses me off.

Right click it, change it's type to 24, which is DECORATE.

Great, never knew that this was possible

Alternative method:

Right click on the lump, use EDIT SIZE and just increase the size by one point. What it does it it adds a custom character (letter, number, etc.), but it also makes it into a text lump again. Change that to avoid image-ization as needed. (Heh, guess why I keep using //anti-image? Might not work, but hey. XD)

I still think my post was the most helpful.

Nah. You're just being silly.

Use slumped.
Less Flaws
Least amount of Crashes
Less of a chance that you wont totally fuck up your project

Has it changed much since 0.5? Last time I tried to use SLumpEd it kept eating my wads.

The latest slumped only tends to crash when I mess with those cursed old texture lumps. I highly recommend giving it another chance though, it's easily the best editor thus far.

0.7 is much better than 0.5. Beware of the TEXTUREx lumps indeed (especially the Strife ones -- the format is a bit different and Slumped doesn't like that at all) but it's quite reliable as long as you're only messing with text and image lumps, or cutting/copying/pasting entire selections of lumps.

Well, 0.7 didn't eat my wad, just locked up my system. :\ Oh well. I'll try it again at some later point.

@lilwhitemouse:I've never ran into the problem with slumped,It's been pretty stable for me.XWE kept crashing and I know when I was working on Redstar it damn near destroyed the project,luckily I had a backup saved.But the one thing that XWE CAN do is open up other games like Wolf3d,Blakestone,and Witchaven.(Though I've never really tried that so I can't really say if it works right or not)

It works quite well for that.

SlumpEd has a nasty chance of crashing when clicking on sound files sometimes, so it's not perfect, I use both XWE and SlumpEd, whatever is more conveniant for what I'm doing.
