  • would it make a difference if i use doom builder 2?

  • Doom is a great game, but Doom builder & XWE is sucks programs, these destroy everything

  • I assume you're using ZDoom. I'm using Risen3D but I edit in default format. Is it possible to create a PWAD file using the monsters and such that just replaces the default lumps when used? Like a common mod?

  • Comment removed

  • how do i make sounds for the monsters because there is sound i'll add to all of doom's monsters

  • Comment removed

  • How do you MAKE custom monsters?

  • @Gibbagobba In order to actually MAKE custom monsters, you need to make a sprite for every frame of animation in 8 directions (up left, up, up right, right, right down, down, down left, and left), so you figure the idle animation is 3 frames long, 8 directions * 3 frames of idle animation, thats 24 sprites just for idling, then probably 3-5 frames of animation for attacking in 8 directions, so at least 24 more sprites, the death animation, and any projectiles they use, then script the monster.

  • @JaundiceJaun with progam do you need if you wanna MAKE this monsterframe ?

  • Never edit the IWAD, ever. It's bad practice. All you needed to do was use a regular unmodified Doom 2 IWAD, load the monster wad as a PWAD, and that's it. It's quite senseless to merge it.

  • @Sodaholic6502 Very true - I was pretty much just working with the barebones here (I have loads of IWAD backups anyway haha) but yes, you can most certainly use the same practice above with a PWAD and load the PWAD at game start to get the custom monster in there.

  • the merge button is greyed out for me please help!

  • Thanks 4 tutorials! You and chubzdoomer are pioneers of doom editing. NO! Your GODS of doom editing

  • @Seekerz3996 Haha I've heard of chubzdoomer and I've seen some of his tutorials, I'll have to see if I can contact him and collaborate on a map/WAD :D

  • @JaundiceJaun Call me an idiot, but i needed his vids to make a door...

    Anyway have u been back to realm667 lately? they added a whole lotta new stuff u should get if u two can work together on a map :D

  • WHERE CAN I FIND DECORATE? WHEEEERRRREEE?

  • hey could you make tutorial like this, but a bit explained. I dont understand how to make a monster or weapon in db in category, because using numbers are shit, please, make it, it would be better, because i making my own megawad

  • hardly any weapons have a decorate number next to the name and stuff.... how do you spawn them???!

  • XWE error 'Failed to create key .WAD.

    I should do to solve this problem

    I have not damaged the wad HELP

  • with me when i put in the type number he says this: the notebuilder did not build the required structures somebody can explain that

  • note to everyone with with me it only works with doom builder 1

  • i dont get that monster in things mode

  • 1:00 as you see all the monster sprites and the GAAAAGAH! LOL

  • Hey can anybody tell me the website where you download the monster data from?

  • xwe doesnt show me the custom monster

  • would i be able to summon them in game?

  • @FurySaterra64 yes.

  • and it didnt show what it showed you at all!!!!!!!

  • my just said stuff and when i went to map it was blank.

  • Anyway one can make the Zerg from starcraft into a Doom monsters?

  • How do you find Thing ID?

  • hey: you know how can anybody add custom monsters on doom builder 2 ?

  • @omegakratos123

    put a thing down in doombuilder 2, doesnt make a difference what thing you put down, then simply click on the thing id in the box at the bottom left and input the new monsters id.

    Personally I don't know how to find its id, I was hoping you do lol

  • @SVWillmer u can see the id in XWE decorate section

  • Can you use custom monsters with Oblige?

  • I almost forgot...When you add a new monster... It go to a new category called "DECORATE"... Not "Decoration"...

  • Ok... I found the problem... it's probably the Doom Builder... I've try with the afrit in Doom builder 2...Nothing happened... I downloaded Doom builder 1 and i downloaded another monster called Dune Warrior...and...it happened...i'll check if the Dune Warrior works in Doom Builder 2... If it works, that means, Afrit has a problem... If it doesn't works... that means, we must use doom builder 1 to add custom monsters...

  • men, in my doom builder(probably updated) ...theres not a Health category... It have an health and armor category... and it doesnt works for me... :(

  • sounds cool

  • This may sound like an unintelligent question, but how would you get Doom Builder 2? Would I have to go to a site to get it or what?

  • Comment removed

  • i did something to xwe and the tool bars dosent appear and that menu that shows the sprites

  • thanks man!!!

  • failed to create key why everyone has this problem!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Thanks for help, I understood everything :)

    But I have a question, some monsters doesn't have the "Actor" number, do you know how to resolve that little problem ?

    I have the same with the weapons.

  • VIRUS!!!

  • @plusquamverbis dumbass...

  • @superuglyman888 fuck you

  • whenever i go to open XWE, it says DOOM.wadfile\shell\EditXWE. . Then it opens normally and when i try to open doom2.wad it says: List index out of bounds (3) what's going on?

  • @mitchkong77 *** Failed to create key doom.wadfile\shell\EditXWE.

  • @mitchkong77 run compatibility xp sp2, and as administrator 

  • This works perfect for Doom Builder 1. But its not 64-Bit compatible so I use Doom Builder 2. When I merge the monsters into my main wad file, there is no health catagory listed in the things menu. Is there another way to retrieve the new monsters in Doom Builder 2?

  • Do you know how to make a swinging/hinged door like in Hexen? Also did that game allow for moving sectors like Duke 3D?

  • thx realy helped

  • Hey man, I have XWE. I have doom builder 2. I went on realm667 and obtained a few monster .wads. I open XWE, i open a copy of Doom 2. wad. I merge the monsters .wad. the screen sort of blinks, like yours, i go into lumps, and nothing is there... i just dont understand, im so frusterated.. any ideas on what i can do to get this to work? mabey im doing something wrong...id apreciate the help greatly.

  • Hey man, i have a question for you. I have XWE, i have doom builder 2. i have a monster .wad from realm667. I open XWE, make a copy of Doom 2. wad. I merge the monster .wad with the copy of Doom 2.wad, and nothing appears in the lumps or anything.. its like nothing happens.. Iv'e tried several different monsters, its driving me crazy.. any ideas?

  • "Merge" on the file menu is greyed out so I can't select it. I think this is because my DOOM2 wad is "read-only" but I read that XWE should have no problem with read-only wads. How do I fix this?

  • @spacelion88 Right click on the Wad, go to properties, then check to see if its read-only. If it isn't, go to properties/security/advanced/e­dit. Select your account name, then change it to "Full Contol". This worked for me, hope it works for you.

  • Cool!

  • I don't see that "Health" option at all. It's supposed to underneath "Obstacles" - but there's nothing there.

    Or does this only work with doombuilder 1?

  • Jaundice please help me! i did exactly like you did. I wanted to add a cyber annihilator (the cyberdemon with two bazookas) but when in open doom builder in the things mode, there isn't that black thing that you used to add in the map the afrit. How can i solve this problem?

  • how do u skin the weapons plz make a video of it thx predailen123

  • I managed to merge 5 monsters with doom 2 wad successfully

    but when i go into thing menu in doom builder, theres an option called "Zdoom monster pack" and only one monster appears there. WTF is happening?

  • CAN YOU MAKE A TUTORIAL OF HOW TO WORK ON THE XWE APP?

    BECAUSE IT HAD ERRORS IN MINES!

  • Help me.....Tell me if i get anything wrong.

    1.i copy my original Doom2 wad file.

    2..i open up XWE. (NOTE: when you opened it, it just automaticly opened test. When i open it it doesent.)

    3. i load my test, Merge it with the afrit. close it.

    4. open up Doom builder. click open. i open test. (When you opened it, it had things automaticly set. for me, it doesent.

    5. I Click OK (Error: Please load an IWAD!) i pick doom2.

    6. I Right click, add thing, HEALTH ISINT THERE...

  • Erm...

    How do you get sound to work?

  • where can i find sprites for Doom Builder to make a map and stuff?

    monsters/hero/weapons and so go on.

  • Comment removed

  • could you plz do 1 for weapons plz? cuz iv done the same thing as adding a monster but when i go into game all i find is a triangle with an exclamation mark in it. sorry to ask but id love to put some extra weapons in my maps

  • @smsjgoku its ok now it was the weapon's DECORATE file cuz it had no item number but iv fixed it :)

  • AM NEW HOW DO I GET TO PLAY OR PREVIEW MY LEVEL I HAVE DOOMBUILDER 2

  • one question my friend, when im gonna merge the monster, the merge option is off, what can be happen?

    (sorry for the bad english)

  • Do you know if you can put custom music in your doom maps?

  • which version of xwe do u download

  • I'm using Doom Builder 2. I am able to merge the monster in XWE but when I place the monster on my map, it says"Unable to spawn type 31118, or what ever number the monster has. Is this because Doom Builder 2 has a different method of importing new monsters? I can't find any detailed videos like this one talking about Doom Builder 2. Unfortunately, I'm stuck with 2.0 because 1.0 isn't 64-Bit compatible.

  • Does This Work With Doom Builder 2?

  • Can you make custom keys or just importing Duke Nukem access keys?

  • can you mkae custom enemies and guns out of pictures from your PC?

  • I added weapons to my map in the same way and i get them working fine, but how can i place them on my map so i can pick them up, because, if i just add them like monsters i can only use them with a cheat... Also, if i look at the decorate file of merged weapon wad in XWE, i won't see the number like with adding the monster.

  • I was having the same problem and this solved it. Thank you!

  • I have followed your tutorial exactly, and while I am able to get this working, there is a problem. Once I get to the step in Doom Builder to place the monster, there is no "Health" option. So I'm unable to find the monster's TID. The only reason I got this to work is because I used 3120, the number you've listed in this video. Any idea why it won't list the "Health" option for me? It's in Doom2 mode. I'm using Doom Builder 2, so maybe that's why? Seems like it should work in DB1 and 2 tho.

  • Can't you just summon the custom monster

  • Hi sir i download the custom monster but i dont know how to put information for monster to make it work can you please give me information and i also followed the step what you showed us but still i dont know how to do it:(

  • Thanks now I know how to add new monsters and edit their health,speed,and power i merged about 40 new mosnters, even some new weapons.

  • i cant get that health thingy in my doom 2 format.

  • @ALB3RT1214 i tryed, i made a new wad and i opened it with the xwe and then i pressed merge i merged it with the wad that had the new monster, how do I find the actor number?

  • I just fixed the error problem by right clicking on the xwe file, went to properties/compatibility and checked Run this program as administrator. Thanks for trying to help anyway.

  • when I open XWE I get an error meassage that reads 'Failed to create key .WAD.' yhen if I click ok on the error message XWE opens but I get other error messages when I try to open test.WAD and merge the mcustom monster.

    PLEASE HELP!

    Please help

  • Sounds like you've corrupted your wad there, might want to start from scratch.

  • Comment removed

  • @666DemonsOHell NOOO dont worry about it mate.... if you're on vista all you have to do is open the xwe.ini file and change the hte tope part that sez noregistory 0 to 1... simple

  • @JaundiceJaun how do i make my own, ive already got the sprites, i just want to know how to set it up

  • @JaundiceJaun ive got the same problem as him and ive downloaded xwe 3 times from your link and others. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!! SLumpEd sucks!!!!!!! I cant use it anymore!!!! GOD PLZ HELP ME!!!!!!

  • @666DemonsOHell

    From what i've heard you can fix this problem by opening the XWE.ini file and under the Options menu (assuming your OS is Vista or Win 7) change the NOREGISTRY=0 to NOREGISTRY=1

    Hope that helps :/

  • @666DemonsOHell

    From what i've heard I assume your running with an OS of Vista or Win 7? If so i'm led to believe that to fix this you need to do the following: open the XWE.ini file and under "Options" change NOREGISTRY=0 to NOREGISTRY=1

    Hope that helps :/

  • @666DemonsOHell

    open XWE as administrator ;)

    if it still doesnt work, make sure you have the most recent version, and the most recent update of your PC's OS

  • @666DemonsOHell It works if you run it as adminstration

  • @666DemonsOHell NOOO dont worry about it mate.... if you're on vista all you have to do is open the xwe.ini file and change the hte tope part that sez noregistory 0 to 1... simple

  • @666DemonsOHell I got this problem too. Turns out, the reason why it was doing this is because I had Doom Builder open while I was using XWE.

  • HELP! I downloaded a bunch of stuff from the site and It set them to Skull Tag because I Set it for the same kind of thing I use from DooM Maps, so What do I Open the Downloads with Please Help!!

    :(

  • The ones i downloaded didnt have a wad

  • error 70 while saving access denied

    PLEASE HELP! :'(

  • good video but wtf is that 1:00

  • Comment removed

  • Hi I have my Really Old Doom95 and when I add these sprites it they do pop up (sprites and all) however when I go into Doom Builder 2 to find them theres no Health section, it just ends at Decoration as usual. What am I doing wrong? have I got a too old version? or maybe something else? I used a pinky/ Demon monster for the sprite so I know that should of worked. You can PM me if you want. ^^ Btw that tutorial taught me so much XD tnx

  • arg... when i try to merge the wads in xwe it gives me an error. something about not finding a file... it looks like it's looking for 'deuSF.exe' why am i missing this and where can it be found??

  • It was that easy? o_O Thanks!

    BTW, are the procedures the same using SLumpED? I'd also like to know how to add sprites from other wads, such as Hexen. I want some tree sprites from Hexen but I have no idea how to do it. D:

  • this*

  • I've learned a lot with thise guy.... but, do you have another website for get more monsters? i dont like realm's, only like 5, or a website for add textures, like a yellow switch.

  • when i try to add more than one diffrent custom monsters to a single wad none of them show up. Is there a way to add more than one monster to a single wad, if yes please tell me how.

  • Instead of health it says "decorate"

  • Comment removed

  • Nice tutorial dude.

  • oh never mind ifinally got this working good. thanks!

  • can i ask for your email

  • Of course... so obvious . Thanks.

  • mhm... I used XWE and added the Afrit as shown in the video. And it worked. The problem is that the method worked only for the first monster wad. What I mean is that when I add more monsters the same way shown above, they don't appear in Doom Builder under Health or anywhere else. They are added to the main Wad but cannot be found by DB. I played around with XWE but I can't find where I'm doing wrong. Suggestions...?

  • What you have to do in that case is look up the monsters thing id in XWE, then manually type in the thing id for that monster when you place an object in DB. It's good to keep a text file with the monsters name and thing id, especially if you're adding numerous monsters.

  • do you know why when itry to open doom2.wad(in xwe) or any file these stupid little pop things appear & it just dosnt work the whole thing just stays blank. and (before ihad any idea on how to actually put custom monsters on maps) i copy and pasted 1 of the wad files for a custom imp into my doombuilder 2 folder and it worked fine it was in my monsters catagory and the imp works fine and all that stuff, but i tryed to put a couple more wads and it wont work. why does only1 work and 2or more?

  • Try reinstalling XWE, and in the config, make sure you locate your ORIGINAL DOOM2.WAD, because you always need to copy and paste your original Doom2.wad before you edit anything to make sure you don't fuck it up - I've done it and it sucks.

  • thanks this shit is finally starting to do something, ialso ifound out another reason for the problems on xwe is cuz im on vista. 8(

  • no if you have skull tag downlode townifnceck wad and then add monstr doom 2 then add doom townifnceck and then you wont have to ues that texter thing but if you konw how to ues it then ues that but ive add up to 66 and stable

  • How do i use the SFX from the site?????

  • ok no when in hexen format under monsters thats affrit.. didnt know thats what thats monsters name is in hexen...

    So i got the damn aFrit to play with Zdoom like you said. Now i want to know why i cant get it to show up when i play the same map in the Doomsday engine.

    You maybe have no clue

  • It's because you're using the Doomsday engine lol, I use Zdoom, hence Zdoom (Doom in Hexen format) for the maps. There are some differences in how to do things for doomsday maps, but I don't like Doomsday :X so I don't make maps for it.

  • doomsday has worked great for me for a long time.

    i am wanting to create my own sprites\monsters for doom2 but i was so mad cause i couldnt get the monster to show up in game.. and if i cant get that to work cause of XWE then i figured there was no way for me to get my own custom monster in there.

    ive made many maps useing DB2 and they all work great with DE accept the custum monsters..

    so there is no way to get them to work in there?

  • ook i seee what your saying with the hexen format i feel dumb for that..

    just 2 problems now

    1 why the hell does the monsters never show up in DB1/2 orr where do i get there type number in XWE?

    2 same as down there.. custom monsters at all in doomsdayE?

    if theres no way to then i guess i can use skulltag single player for when i play with custom monsters tho id rather just use DE :[ ] :[] :[ ] sorry i talk so damn much, just want this to work..

    thanks for your help again

  • I understand that - but I don't know the ins and outs of the Doomsday Engine, or it's limitations, therefore I can't really help you out. And I wouldn't use Skulltag purely because I kinda lost some respect for them because a few years ago they put malicious code into one of their updates to corrupt Zdaemon :O But I guess it's personal preference. I suggest trying this out with Zdoom engine and using Doom in Hexen format step by step and see if you can get it working that way.

  • well what about the type number how do i find that in XWE if the custom monsters are not showing up in DB1/2?

  • can you put more than 1 monster in?

  • ok its still not working.. and im cunfused..

    in your vid when you make your new map you use hexen format.. how does that work?

    cause when i do it i can see afrit in the monsters sectoin But evry thing else is all hexen stuff. but in your vid you got the rocket launcher and shit.

    im lost

    also i can see afrit under monsters when useing Hexen format in DB2

  • Your Iwad config is wrong. Go to your IWADs and set your DOOM2.wad to the wad used for Doom in Hexen format.

  • dude can you please help me? ive searched around and this is like the only tut on this.. and i cant get it working. useing the afrit just like you.. im useing doom builder 2 instead tho.. and im useing the lastest XWE

  • Keyword there is Doom Builder 2. I don't suggest using DB2, a lot of things are done differently, and also more difficult. DB1, despite the fact that is doesn't have some of the graphic upgrades that 2 has, is way more functional than DB2 and a lot easier to use.

  • Thanks for help.

  • err, this wouldnt work with ultimate doom, would it?

  • Ok, I got doom builder 2 with a map in doom 2 format, I merged my monster with xwe, but when I go to make a new thing the health directory doesn't show up, help?

  • Use Zdoom (Doom in Hexen Format). Even if you aren't using slopes and stuff, like if you're trying to make a Classic style wad, I STILL recommend that format because its easier to use and more powerful.

  • ook then ill try DB1 then.. also Zdoom. Just hope it fixes it.

    Seems to me like its XWE tho.. when i merge i can never see the sprites or sound files or anything about afrit. But i can open the monsters wad file seprately and see it in XWE. Do you think i should go to a older versoin of XWE too? Looks like your useing a diffrent version then mine.

    Thaankyou for replying.

  • Hello again.. i downloaded DB1.. retried.. Didnt work..

    Downloaded Zdoom.... retried didnt work

    Got a old version of XWE mergeing worked finally..

    Tried in DB2 and it didnt work..

    Tried in DB1 and it works!

    Thanks for telling me to use DB1 !!! Idk why the new XWE isnt working for me.. and i really dont care anymore

    Thanks for your help

  • This is awesome, really helped.

  • hey man i got doom builder 2, this is all. i have photoshop 4 and want to make custom sprites.. i am just lost in all the info out there.. there is a wall, a mental block i cant get beyond. i only want custom enemies for now! what programs do i need? where do i get these? i am amateur artist, this is important to me for experiment! any help massively appreciated.. maybe we could even combine.. i have wrote a story and also many characters drawn.. Thanks!

  • Well, you need to make 8 directions of the enemy, so since you're an artist, you'd have to draw each frame of animation in each direction, then scan the picture and import it into photoshop, clean it up, border it, and pixel in the rest of the color, then do this over and over for each frame and direction of animation - tedious process, but fairly rewarding in the end I'd say.

  • mate um coude i sent you my 3 maps thire calld axe 1 axe 2 axe 3 how i send to you may you test my maps please

  • Put them in a .rar file and them to me.

  • i just got messgich i will try

  • when ever i go to open something it just says: list index out of bounds (3) what am i doing wrong?

  • Hey man, I have 2 huge files with a ton of monsters in both, am I likely to run into any issues merging two big files? Also, am I meant to merge it with my Doom2 Iwad (which I then put in Zdoom format in Doombuilder) or do I merge them with Zdoom? Also, once I save the map or exit Doombuilder, will that undo my merging?

    Sorry for the questions, I'm just a little stumped...

  • ok i found out XWE but when i try to do the whole XWE the merge thing i cant find the monster.wad plz help me

  • which one from XWE do i downlaod so many

  • I use DB2 because my Vista shits itself and deletes all my wad's data when I try and save...DB1 and Vista togerther=FAIL

  • Vista by itself = fail lol, but hey you're stuck with it until you get tired of it and reformat and upgrade to XP lol.

  • wuld this work if i played it on risen 3d?

  • I believe it should - I haven't really toyed around with the other sourceports, mainly because the 3d models in the ports that support them don't look very good. The hi-res textures and lighting effects are pretty cool, but not enough to make me switch from ZDoom. You might have to do a little research and see if standard WAD editing practice would work in Risen.

  • It isn't working for me =(

    I think it has to do with XWE, I run vista. Every time I run it it says error 32. Then when I try to merge the wad, it says missing file DeuSF.exe. What do I do???

  • Reformat and upgrade to Windows XP.

  • I don't think thats a suitable solution for one program.

  • No but it is for this one and every other program - since 90% of programs I tried to use when I had Vista didn't work. It's just not a good OS. XP uses your resources better, and you'll be more compatible with everything. And Vista only games? There are 100% working XP cracks for them - so I highly suggest it.

  • Maybe so, but the only doom related programs I use are gzDoom, Doom Builder, and xwe. I can get all of those to work, except for xwe. My other PC runs on XP. What if I use that PC for xwe and then transfer it to my vista pc for more detailed mapping - Like I would use my faster vista PC for making the map, and then replace the music, monsters, textures etc. on my slower Xp pc.

  • You could make your Vista PC even faster by putting XP on it :P Since XP doesn't require 4GB of RAM just to run itself...

  • How true :P But Vista doesn't need 4GB, my PC has 3GB and it runs super quickly. It takes me like 2 seconds to open up Adobe After Effects. Anyways, I think I figured out this xwe thing. And also, DoomedArchvileDemon said that custom monsters don't work on Doom Builder 2, if you have it, can you confirm this? I like DB1 more, but I use DB2 for my tutorials.

  • It is quite possible that DB2 straight doesn't work for a lot of things, it's new and not-very-improved. I'd advise just sticking to DB1.

  • I don't like Doom Builder 2 at all, unless maybe I can configure the control to be identical to DB1. But like I said - I'd like to use DB2 and get used to it because I'm going to use it for my DB tutorials.

  • Well - I'm doing a whole separate video series on DB2, cause it's so ass-backwards.

  • my vista computer doesnt wanna work with Doombuilder 1!

  • Hey Jaun.

    Once again, i come here with a very very humble request.

    I hope you can help me...

    I don't know how to add new textures to my map... Neither weapons...

    When i add textures to my map using doom builder, they don't appear, they look like little white and green squeares. (Missing Texture). I tried to Merge my Doom 2 Wad (Which is the Iwad im using) with the Texture Wad i got... But now it doesn't even open xD.

    What can i do?

    Hope u can help me... Thanks! ^^

  • Ah man. You know what sucks. Doom Builder 2 does not allow for this to happen. I tried it out but it didn't work... Good thing I got both. XD

  • how about building monsters???

  • Building monsters? You mean like from scratch, making your own sprites, scripting, animating, and all of that building? Or taking a monster from the game and editing it so it will be faster, stronger, or do something different?

  • Anything...I don't know how to do anything related to monster/sprite editing...I guess there isn't much new software on that.
