(How) can you run them with 47i?

extract the map with xwe or something else that can open grp files and then simply run it with the -file option. with 47i it won't be textured, but in the future you'll be able to use -art artfile.art and it'll be textured properly

of course what this really does is convert the build map to hexen format (in memory) and then run that map, so any build specific stuff won't show, though you can do dumpmap mapname.wad in console (I believe that's the correct command) and write it to disk (it won't write any things though) and then mess with that in a doom editor

does that mean those fake floors lke in Duke3D are now possible?

So which map is it on? And do you save as .lmp, .wad, or .map?

Save it as a .MAP file.

No. That would be one of the "build specific" features that Cyb is talking about.

and then?

Actually, I think it was broken in 47i. If it's working, you just add the .map file to the command line as if it were a .wad, and then you use the map console command to switch to it.

i.e. For E1L1, start the game with:

Code: Select all

zdoom -file e1l1.map

Then open the console and type

Code: Select all

map e1l1

You can also use wildcards with -file, so the following will load all .map files in the current directory:

Code: Select all

zdoom -file *.map

DAMN that looks funky; although I expected nothing less. Thanks randy.

Do weirdo slopes -- that is, something very complicated to implement with Slope Things/Linedefs work?
