Absolute newbie trying to do a mod here..

Post by OB1NE »

I've managed to succesfully spawn a custom weapon just using a photo of my hand as a gunfinger - the script I got was from one specific youtube video which didn't correlate to a custom map I'm trying to buiid so after a week of trial and error I've managed to spawn the custom item pickup but the PNG is far too big, literally covers the whole screen but It's the best I could do at the time and just was determined to get something working. Now I've managed to get a smaller version of the same PNG and renamed everything the same the copy/pasted the decorate script to a new wad but this new doesn't spawn? Please feel free to info dump on me as I'm a beginner with this

A lot of things can be at play here and we can't really help without seeing anything.
Best thing to do would be to isolate the issue and provide a minimal file required to reproduce it.
If that is not possible, posting your code and a screenshot of your file structure is the second best thing.
