Im am messing around with the srb2.srb...

[Nodelem X]

I see that I could make an entirely different style to this game, but I must ask, is there anything that I shouldnt edit that might totally screw up srb2?

Im just messing around with it to understand it more, thats all. This might take me places though...

is there anything that I shouldnt edit that might totally screw up srb2?

Yeah: SRB2.SRB. And while you're at it, don't touch the PLR files, or the DTA files, either. Back 'em up and THEN edit them.

 

[Nodelem X]

No. Of course I backed them up. I mean, if I edit anything in srb2.srb, I could actually create an error and therefore destroy everything I worked for.

Basically: What should I stay away from? (In the file.)

 

[Shadow Hog]

Oh, well, in that case, everything's fair game, I think.

 

[Nodelem X]

Ok. I do need help in custom texturing. Thats all.

 

[Shadow Hog]

Check the Archives, I covered that back in... February, I think.

Wicked! Thank you very, very much. The problem with what I am doing... is that to edit pictures and such, I need to save them all... one by one... x_X

Stay away from the colormaps. They aren't fun to play with.

Stay away from the colormaps. They aren't fun to play with.

I disagree.

I claim thee, Pastel World. *kicked*

 

[Shadow Hog]

Actually, it's more SRB2, the CGA version you never knew existed.

Also works with DOOM (or, rather, was made for DOOM but also works with SRB2), but the results are a lot more... black. Not surprising when you consider 192 is BRIGHT for a DOOM level.

Dont you need colormaps for water? Heck, my first wad was full of them.

 

[Shadow Hog]

Wrong kind of colormap. We're talking about the lump, you're talking about a linedef that generates a tint based on that lump.

 

[Nodelem X]

Oh. Im not messing around with the coding, really, mostly the graphics, because... that's kinda my department.

 

[Shadow Hog]

It's in the same file, though. In effect it's a graphic itself.

 

[Nodelem X]

o_O You people are starting to confuse me in ways that I cannot even explain.

So the colormap is a lump, but its a graphic..?

 

[JJames19119]

Yes. GFX, Images and Sprites are all lumps. Maps are lumps. Headers are lumps. ANYTHING in a WAD is a lump, seriously. Linedefs aren't lumps because it's part of a map, which is a lump.

Maps are lumps, right...?

 

[Shuffle]

Shut up, there's no reason to explain that.

Now you're confusing me.

 

[Nodelem X]

I need to know how to replace them properly. Whenever I replace the gfx bmps, it wont show up when I load the wad.
