My WAD doesn't give me all my custom resources

Post by Hidden Hands »

What is wrong with it? I've made a few wads in the past in GZDOOM2 UDMF format, and whenever I add custom stuff to the wad, it appears in the GZDOOM BUILDER. But on this one particular wad it doesn't.

Originally, this wad was DOOM2 formated, but all elements of that have been replaced for a very long time and it only features now one single GZDOOM 2 UDMF map, so why won't it all show up?

Thanks in advance.

Are you sure the WAD is being loaded as a resource and that the resources are actually in the WAD?

If those things are OK, people will ned a lot more information than just "stuff isn't showing up in my mod". You haven't even told us what "stuff". There are many, many possibilities here. A much fuller description and a copy of the WAD (if possible) would be needed.

Sorry for not being clearer. Basically, all custom elements are missing from Doom Builder, including weapons, items, obstacles, monsters, etc. For example, I add a custom monster called "Alien". Now on all my other wads, Alien shows up in the list of selectable monsters in the monster drop down list, along with all the built in Doom monsters. But in this wad, that doesn't happen. They just are not there. If I put in their DOOMID however, they show up in the test play. But not on the map while editing. Does that make sense?
