Custom sprites not showing up
Hello,
I kinda have a noob problem. I was working on a cyberdemon remake and when I changed the name of the sprites to avoid overwriting, he became invisible. I checked the names, the frames, everything and I can't seem to figure out what is causing the problem. Here is the file:

Re: Custom sprites not showing up
I think you have some issues with the sprite rotations. I can't give proper advice since I've never used any sprites with rotation, but you can take a look at this page.

Re: Custom sprites not showing up
I don't think so. I just copied the cyberdemon's sprites, colorized them and then just changed the CYBR to DVIL. The sprite rotations are unchanged.Lud wrote:I think you have some issues with the sprite rotations.

Re: Custom sprites not showing up
A few things
All sprites must be between S_ markers
The sprites are in the wrong pallete
Give it a free DoomED number

Spoiler:Why inherit and replace the cyberdemon when you have made a valid stand alone actor
Give it a free DoomED number

Re: Custom sprites not showing up
Thanks so much! Just one last thing, how do I add and use markers. The zdoom wiki doesn't have much about them. I'm working in slade3 if that helps.Kappes Buur wrote:A few things

Re: Custom sprites not showing up
Highlight the lump above the first sprite,
then click the ' New Entry ' icon
Then scoll to the last sprite, New Entry, now type S_END, OK
so that all sprites are between the S_ markers.
From the above you may have noticed that a new entry is always created
below a lump that was highlighted.
then click the ' New Entry ' icon
Spoiler:type S_START in the popup window and click ' OK '
Then scoll to the last sprite, New Entry, now type S_END, OK
so that all sprites are between the S_ markers.

OK, so I put markers in and fixed the palette but it still won't work. Here is the new file: https://www.mediafire.com/?g00e4jdajonjhjsKappes Buur wrote:Highlight the lump above the first sprite,

Re: Custom sprites not showing up
What are you using to make your WAD? I've tried everything I can to get this to work, which it should've but it didn't... Then I copied the entire wad into a totally new file and now it's working. 
Edit: I've taken a look at your WAD through a hexeditor. You've renamed your wad from a .pk3/.zip to a .wad.. don't do that, bud.

1) Yeah, I created a new wad to test out and it looks SLADE3 or zdoom is fucking it up.Hellser wrote:What are you using to make your WAD? I've tried everything I can to get this to work, which it should've but it didn't... Then I copied the entire wad into a totally new file and now it's working.
