OH thanks, a bunch! I asked Graf Zahl and he told me I needed to put brackets around things I want to "loop". Thanks for the help. Finally, I an finish the stupid map.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK, now i'm having a different problem with the script. I fixed it so it no longer freezes the game, but thescripts all execute at the begining of the stage even though there are still monsters with the tags i put in alive. I have no idea what i'm doing wrong.

Are you already working on the new objects on the ceiling (light sources) I suggested? I'm in the very need of them

Well, make them red, green, blue, yellow and regular fire, that is all I need I think.

Here's a new resource wad with a bunch of new textures and all the lightning sources you need (there are about 20+ torches and candles) and a a bunch of other obstacle things. I fixed a few bugs within the original decorate that was missing some texture due to the fact that I accidentally cut them out.

There is one problem with this resource though, I can't get Doombuilder to display some of their namaes correctly. It's displayed as "states" for some reason; however, everything works as it should be working. I will send you a doombuilder Configuration once I make one for the DE project.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Info: I also fixed up the Wraith, Archon of Hell, and the hellforge Smith. The Archon now as a new, much better looking fire ball attack, as well as he will throw a volley of fireballs with both hands and has the +BOSS flag on (so the soul reaver doesnt kill it in one hit). The Hellforge SMith has increased HP and now launches the NEW Soul Reaver attack, all thanks to The Killer of Doom.

The Soul Reaver throws out 3 soul spheres that spawns a total of 12 spirits to toally annihilate your enemies. I made it this way because the levels have a lot of enemies in them. The Hellforge Mace now shoots faster and uses less ammo per shot.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm having some issues with the Hellforge mace. The rippers hurt the shooter and I cant get it so that they wont hurt like the Heretic Rippers. Can anyone offer me some insight on this? Or is Heretic's rippers hard coded in?

Great, thx! Will look into this right now and continue on my map

3 things concerning the resources (that get better and better btw

):

1. Someone needs to fix this STATES problem
2. Someone must fix the rippers
3. These ERUSTxx metal floor variants of the brown ones in black are still missing, we need them

I didn't make the black one because it losses detail. WHen I make it blak, it becaomes like 3 colors and it looks horrible. I stuck to the grey ones since tha's as dar as I could make it without cause too much color loos. But I'll go back to see if I can make a slightly darker version without color quality loss. Doom really needs more colors x_x. I dont want to use PNGs because wintex doesn't support it, and I still dont like how XWE works.

As in rippers, do You mean the ones that fly out of the Hellforge Mace? I've updated the weapons in a new resource wead, making better use of decorate functions. I've more or less fixed the thing, now it wont hit you even if you run around the monster blasting, But if you go point blank, it will still hurt a lot, but wont kill you like before, which was intended.

As for the states problem...I have no idea how to fix that. I defined all the decorate correctl (i mean, it works). Maybe the name is too long for DB? O_o. I'm not really sure. I'll go ask around the Doombuilder forums on Doomworld to see what I can come up with. But I am working on a Demon Eclipse configuration file for Doom Builder, so I'll send you that soon.

WIP Shot:

@Eriance - Little suggestion: Add another weapon to slot 3 or 4 that has about the behaviour and power of the super shotgun! The Blood Orb is too weak in every aspects compared to the SSG.

I really had to add a few of them for some areas, they are included in my MAP11.WAD between the TX_START and TX_END lumps
