vavoom map finally done

[gunrock]

<br><br><br>I just completed my vavoom map called 'Braham Manor'<br>The theme is a dark mansion using most of the features of the vavoom engine: static lighting, 3dfloors, polydoors and a tga skybox. Janiz i will upload it to you via e-mail if you like to take a look at it.<br><br>Thanks!

Hi Gunrock! I'm a mapper from Korax team and I'd like see your map

[Janis Legzdinsh]

Really nice work. It looks really cool.<br><br>I reorganized the files in a way that's more correct for distribution. Here's what I did:<br>1) Models have wrong path to skins. It should be relative to basev/doom and not to basev. Also models should be places in your game directory in models folder rather forcing users to overwrite original models.<br>2) Moved texture file to game directory and renamed it to wad0.wad so that it's loaded authomaticly.<br>3) Merged map and scripts into file wad1.wad so that users can use normal custom game option rather the development mode.<br>I uploaded new package here. I also had problems accessing archives.3dgamers.com, maybe I will try later.

I'm waiting for it to download right now.<br><br>I'm also working on Maps of my own, at least trying. I'm actually trying to make a Total Conversion for Hexen with Progs... I know I should try the Source rather than progs.. But I don't have Visual C.. Only C++ and Visual Basic 4.0 which I have no Idea how to use. I'm also hoping that I could find some people that might be able to help work on it.. And maybe some other projects. Around 3 Days ago I Started a 'Company' Kinda like Korax' Heritage, Hexen and all, but I might do Doom2 also. The company is called "Heresirach Software" if anybody could think up any other Good name I may be happy to use it instead. And was hoping I could get some members for it.

Just out of curiosity.  How do I play Vavoom maps using the Launcher?

[gunrock]

open up the vLauncher and on the Custom game line<br>type for example: braham and hit the run button.

[The_Doomer]

When I hit run I get an error message stating: "W_GetNumForName: sfxinfo not found!"  Any idea whats wrong?

[Janis Legzdinsh]

Could you run with debug file option and then tell me what are the lines beggining with Init: adding?

[The_Doomer]

Checking that option doesn't seem to make any debug file when I try to run the wad.  The rest of the message in addition to what I mentioned says "Stack trace: S_InitScript <-S_Init <-Host_Init."

[Janis Legzdinsh]

Debug file debug.txt is located in basev folder.

[The_Doomer]

Ok here's the error message from the debug text file:<br><br>0x4000000 (64.000000 meg) allocated for zone, ZoneBase: 0x2190004<br>Init: adding Braham/wad0.wad<br>Init: adding Braham/wad1.wad<br>- S_InitScript<br>- S_Init<br>- Host_Init<br><br><br>ERROR: W_GetNumForName: sfxinfo not found!<br>

[Janis Legzdinsh]

I see, it didn't add all other files that are needed, such as doom2.wad. Maybe try to use command line option '-iwad doom2.wad' (in launcher enter it in custom command line args field), maybe that will help.
