I see. Gonna phone him right now and make sure, since my dad owns Id Software

If you need help with vanilla sprites, Doomkid did a tutorial video on the subject (jump to the 21-minute mark on custom sprites):

not all textures have to be there. IDK about sprites but with textures it doesnt need too. All thats needed is that all textures is in the TEXTURE1 file (or what it now is called)

atleast from what i know

I have this idea for map24 where in the end the main building explodes. Heres a video showcasing my idea, what do yall think?

My point is that you shouldn't have to put the entirety of Doom 2's sprites within the wad resource - all you need are the original sprites and the proper SS_START and S_END lumps. There's a process to it covered in the video above that shows you how to do it properly if you want original sprites working in vanilla Doom 2.

ok heres my new version of map08 

I forgot to tag a secret in the older one so here it is. you guys gotta lemme know if this shit is good or not.

And it doesn't work because it still asks for the sprites.

This map is kinda rough. I quit after the ambush with 3 archviles, MAP08 is way too early for that. I don't understand why the blue room with the Baron is marked as a secret when the switch for it is right next to it, and nearly unmissable.

The MIDI and map name are sick though

A sneak peek of MAP29 :^)

the switch behind the misaligned brick wall is what opens the plasma switch. Glad you liked the midi. Also fine I'll remove an archie from the fight :( 

My Final Map08 

I removed one archvile from the blue key fight and I noticed that @Sr_Ludicolo cheesed the strobe light archie fight so I made it uncheeseable (sorta)

Now I can finally move on to map 09 :D

Is it just the yellow skullkey you're replacing? From what I can see in the current resource wad, the starting lump only has one S (S_START, and not SS_START as it should be) the next part is to rename the new sprites (try YBAT instead of YSKU) and create a new .deh patch in WhackEd and go to Strings, change the yellow skullkey string to the new name (YSKU to YBAT once again) then go to View < Patch Settings and add the PWAD MMDW.wad and save it so WhackEd knows to look for the new graphics. You can look over the existing States to make sure it appears correctly or double-click sprites 838 and 839 to show the appropriate battery graphics.

Also, you have to make sure the SS_START, S_END  and all the sprites in between are at the very top of the wad resource, so that everything else that is added comes after them.

I'm not personally well-versed in adding vanilla sprites, but if you need any help with this I know @Doomkid could certainly give you some pointers on how to manage it. He is after all running a vanilla project at the moment which also makes use of new sprite graphics.

I GOT IT TO WORK FUCK YEAH

yea i had it mostly right but the one fucky thing was S_START instead of SS_START

im getting a non-fatal error thats telling me to use SS_END instead of S_END though, should I do that?

I also split TEXTURE1 and TEXTURE2 apart, so only new textures are in texture2 and the only things in texture1 are the default ones and new sky textures, which I'll update the main base wad with in a bit for anyone who wants to use that.

Done & Done. Will put up that your map is finished on the first post, and will add a CWILV and all that :D

Will the CWILVs include the mapper's name along with the map name? or will the mappers be credited in a separate thing like a .txt file?

I think the project would look more professional if this is the case. I think it would also help get the names of the mappers out as well.

It's not straightforward at all, but Doom Builder wants SS_START, followed by all sprites, followed by SS_END, and finally, followed by S_END.

Vanilla Doom itself doesn't need the SS_END, but Doom Builder specifically does. (No biggie since it's a teeny lump anyway)
