ChatGPT for Doom Modding questions

To create custom episodes for Doom 2 using SLADE, you'll need to follow these steps:



Launch SLADE and create a new WAD file by selecting "File" > "New Archive".



Add the necessary resources to your WAD file, including maps, textures, sounds, and other assets. You can add resources by selecting "File" > "Import Files" and selecting the resources you want to add.



Create a new entries list for your custom episode by selecting "View" > "Entries" and then selecting "New Entry List". Give the list a name that represents your custom episode, such as "EPISODE1".



Add the maps for your custom episode to the entries list by selecting "Add Entry" and then selecting the maps you want to include. Make sure the maps are in the correct order for the episode.



Create a new lump for the episode definition by selecting "File" > "New Entry" and then giving the lump a name of "EPISODE1".



Edit the lump to define the properties of your custom episode. You'll need to specify the episode name, the number of maps, and the names of the maps in the correct order. You can use the following example as a starting point:



javascript

Copy code

// Episode definition



episode "My Custom Episode"

{

maps "MAP01", "MAP02", "MAP03"

}

Save your WAD file by selecting "File" > "Save Archive".



Test your custom episode by launching Doom 2 and selecting your custom WAD file from the command line or through a source port such as ZDoom.



Note that creating custom episodes for Doom 2 is a complex process that requires a good understanding of the Doom engine and the WAD format. If you're new to Doom modding, it may be helpful to start with simpler projects and work your way up to creating custom episodes.
