Patch problem

[blahblahbal]

Ok, so I added a new lump from file in SLumpEd, and put it between P_START and P_END, then saved it. Then I loaded it up with DB, tried to use it as a wall texture, but it didn't appear on the list of patches! Here is the link to my wad: LINK REMOVED ~Not relevant anymore

Sorry about this, but I really need help on this! It's a custom patch(duh) that combines an ice patch and a lava one.

I don't see any patches in your file. All I saw was floor patches, which seem to work fine.

Your wad isn't that organized, you should put all the flats, patches, music, maincfg, and other graphics before the maps.

Read http://wiki.srb2.org/wiki/Custom_Textures_Tutorial_-_SLumpEd to get a better understanding on how patches work.

Oh, yeah, that's right. I moved it to the flats category just to see if it would look right pattern-wise and forgot to move it back. But when I had it in between P_START and P_END, it registered as a patch, but it still didn't appear in DB.

That is because patches aren't textures. The patches are used to make textures. This is better explained using the custom texture tutorial that I linked to you before.

You should also get rid of all the stuff you don't want as flats in between the F_START and F_END.

YOU HAVE TO REMAKE THE PATCH LUMPS FROM SCRATCH, THE FLAT LUMPS WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY. This is because SLumpEd can't properly display 128 x 128 flats. So re-import the pictures you want to use as textures and convert them to Doom Gfx.

Oh, ok, I get it now. I'll try this on Monday(the next time I get to work on it)

Nevermind; I got it to work. Although I'm having a bit of a problem with it matching up; I'm combining the blue CLIFFW-something and the ROCKBOIL look-alike bright red MM-something-something patches. Here's my wad: http://www.mediafire.com/?zzy04tlv1iz; the patch's called MFZWAL01.
