SlumpED, it's more stable than XWE.

 

[mighty]

where can i find that?

i type in SlumpED and it gives me stuff for glass :?

Define "wad editor". Do you mean a program for creating levels, or a program for doing... essentially everything else?

 

[1-Up]

Whichever one you want go here to get it.

For levels, I use DoomBuilder. I've only made one match wad so far with it, but I can say it's easy enough to use, as long as you know the basics of level wadding.

I've been using Wadauthor because Doom Builder's grid snap doesn't work at all. Yes, it's that annoying that I had to use a different wad editor.

There's a button that turns that on, you know. In fact, it was on by default, so somewhere along the line you'd have to have turned it off.

Even when I turn it on, it doesn't do anything.

I use WadAuthor for making my maps, a full copy, but not paid. :P I also use XWE for lump management/everything else. I'm the kind of person that hears about something "Better" and will refuse to switch.

What's the grid size, then? Maybe it's something ridiculously small, like 4x4 or something.

SlumpED and XWE for WAD editing, and Doom Buidler for maps.

 

[Blitzzo]

I use DoomBuilder for maps, XWE for everything else WAD-related. I'm not using SlumpED until it become more fully-featured. XWE already does what I need it to, and it does it well.

And Shuffle, you can adjust grid-snap influence through the settings. Maybe it's set too low for your preference?

 

[mighty]

i can't get XWE or SlumpED to use lower case letters for my sprites, i need a wad editor that can.

 

[Shuffle]

XWE works fine. You have to change it in the options.

If you can't find the options, I weep for you.

 

[mighty]

nope, still wont work for me

 

[Shuffle]

Then you suck? :(
Telling it not to auto-capitolize letters should work fine.

 

[mighty]

how do i tell it that?

i looked in both options, and could not find anything about capitalization
