Contrary to popular belief, we are not all-knowing-all-seeing magical beings!
If you want help you're going to have to provide lots of info. Like what is your hardware, what is your operating system, what version of GZDoom/LZDoom/whatever you're using, what mods you're loading, how you're loading it, what you've already tried for fixing the problem, and anything else that is even remotely relevant to the problem.
We can't magically figure out what it is if you're going to be vague, and if we feel like you're just wasting our time with guessing games we will act like that's what you're really doing and won't help you.

Re: +playerclass doesn't work
I'm not sure what the results should look like but I tried adding:
+playerclass water_Mage +map map01 -nomonsters
to the command line (and also tried with earth, water and wind). When the game started, I was a very tall player and typing "playerclass" at the console returned the same option as I had entered at the command line.
I'm not sure what the difference in your character classes are though, so I don't know if the player was actually different classes with the different parameters.
It should also be noted that when I typed +playerclass testme +map map01 -nomonsters at the command line, I got exactly the same result: the player was very tall and the console told me that the playerclass was "testme" even though no testme class exists. So, I guess the command just sets the variable, regardless of whether the player class exists or not.
However, using the default player classes in Hexen:
+playerclass cleric +map map01 -nomonsters
+playerclass mage +map map01 -nomonsters
+playerclass fighter +map map01 -nomonsters
definitely worked as expected.

Code: Select all

Re: +playerclass doesn't work
When there is no specification, the player class spawned will be random (this is supposed to be how it works). You can see which player class you are with the chasecam. This wiki page mentions this:
The Wiki wrote: +playerclass class
Only relevant when playing a game with several available player classes. Without mods, this applies to Hexen only. For example:
+playerclass Fighter
+playerclass Cleric
+playerclass Mage
+playerclass Random

Re: +playerclass doesn't work
Ah, OK, yes, that does help. And, yes, your player classes just seem to be getting applied randomly.
However, I am getting the correct vanilla Hexen classes working very reliably and repeatably in Hexen. So, it could be something to do with your mod, though I can't see what, and your classes certainly work properly from the new game menu.
