Refer to here. It has all commands and what they do, and what settings you set.

To make a header, use a program like XWE. Create a lump named MAINCFG in your WAD file, and fill it with the information given by the example, suited to fit your needs (replace the name with the name of your level, the song to what you want for it, what sky you want, things like that):

Code: 
Level 1
LevelName = GREENFLOWER
Act = 1
MusicSlot = 1
NextLevel = 2
TypeOfLevel = 4099
SkyNum = 1
NoSSMusic = 0
 
You make a new lump called MAPxxD (xx being the map number you are using) or MAINCFG.

Level x
LevelName = x
Act = x
MusicSlot = x
NextLevel = x
TypeOfLevel = x
SkyNum = x

That is it, but there are other fields.

Level [map number]
LevelName = [map name]
Act = [act number]
MusicSlot = [music number]

I simplified it for messageboard use.
Edit: Someone answered before me! Oops! ^^'
 
I tried MAINCFG but it won't load my map right! Here is the MAINCFG:

Level A4
LevelName = Reality Room
Act = 0
MusicSlot = 2
NextLevel = 99
TypeOfLevel = 4
SkyNum = 29
NoZone = 1
Hidden = 0
 
Mikesword, for the Level parameter, don't use hexadecimal.

A4 comes out to 164 in decimal. Try Level 164.
 
It DOES?! That's very odd. That would make it...

I'm not sure, exactly. Oh well, at least it works! And with all of the letters of the Roman Alphabet, you have more slots to put things in.

Still, it is a bit confusing. Do you know what base it is?

Edit: It might not be a base after all. If it doesn't use 1A, 2A, 3A, etc., then it's a custom system made for this game.
