How do you MAKE custom monsters?

[JaundiceJaun]

@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.

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.

[JaundiceJaun]

@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.

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

[JaundiceJaun]

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

[Iceroozer]

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

[ImManWithGasBomb]

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

[Gibbagobba]

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?

[YousufOuf2000]

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

[Seekerz3996]

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