crashing springs

Character wad?

If so, you need to rename thae last sprites that have the same name as the standing sprites, to lowercase:

Standing sprites
PLAYA1
PLAYA2A8
PLAYA3A7
PLAYA4A6
PLAYB1
PLAYB2B8
PLAYB3B7
PLAYB4B6
PLAYB5

Falling/Tails grab
PLAYa1
PLAYa2a8
PLAYa3a7
PLAYa4a6
PLAYa5
PLAYb1
PLAYb2b8
PLAYb3b7
PLAYb4b6
PLAYb5

^Extract that to the XWE folder you're using (if you are), and in the options menu, select "Don't Auto-capitalise names".

great, but I added the charector pic, and its doing the same thing now, is it the same reason?

Yes, your version of XWE either doesn't handle lowercase lump names or you haven't turned off automatic capitalization in the program's preferences.

and i thought you could choose the char select pics name.

 

[Blitzzo]

Oh, the character-select pic? Well, you can set that through the MAINCFG lump. Try looking in shadow.wad or another official character WAD to see how it's done.

i did. i even tried to just add my file instead (without renaming) and it just makes THAT wad crash.

Try adding your sprites into the Shadow wad by replacment, then checking for the lower case thing. If the lower case was still changed to upper case, just get a hex editor and fix that right up.

I fixed the springs. and I tried that on the select pic
