Ultimate Doom Builder / GZDDoom help, WAD tests fine in UDB but doesn't launch in GZdoom

[LonieHaag]

So I'm working on my first WAD using GZDoom and UDB and I'm having trouble with launching the wad outside of UDB. I'm probably missing something but essentially my steps are as follows.

• Open new map with game config GZDoom: Doom 2 UDMF

• Add resources from doom2.wad

• made a simple room and spawn point for testing and save

• Drag new .wad file onto GZDOOM executable and select doom 2: hell on earth from launch window

Im able to open others tutorial wads and run them through GZDoom but trying with my own just loads up the first default level. I can also send my wad if needed. I know this isn't a mapping subreddit so i apologize if this post is not appropriate.

Thanks so much!

Name your map MAP01.

Normaly one starts a new map by leaving the level name at the default MAP01.
Then GZDoom will use that name and displays the map as designed.

But what happens when the level name is something different, maybe TEST01.
Then, of course, GZDoom assumes the level name to be MAP01 and accordingly
plays the first level of DOOM2.
This can be corrected by adding a MAPINFO lump to the map, something like this:

Code: Select all

clearepisodes
episode "TEST01"
{
   name = "TESTMAP"
}


map TEST01 "TRYING A NEW TEST MAP"
{
   evenlighting
   next = "TEST02"
}

map TEST02 "SECOND TEST MAP"
{
   evenlighting
}

and, in addition, levels can be given descriptive title names.
