 Hello and welcome. This is the first video which is an introduction in a series of videos on Eureka doom editor which is one of many doom editors out there. It's the one that I've been using and I'm just going to do a whole series on it back. You know back in December I think it was I did one long video just showing some basic features of it that after I played with it for a Couple of days. Well, I've been using it regularly for the last couple months So I thought that I do a Better series on how to use it if you are interested all in game design Where there be programming or the design of the game the levels doom is a great place to start It is a great game The source code is fully open source and it's just a great way to get started instead You know building from things from something from scratch To start with something and modify it and learn how things work See how they work before you jump in and try to do it yourself is a great thing and doom is just It's large in the mod community So let's just go ahead and just today I'm just going to show you where the files are how to get started how to get set up just a quick overview Eureka doom editor you can find it at source forge net So it's you can just Google Eureka doom editor or the link is Eureka dash editor source forge net and that will bring you to their home page here and There is a good documentation here with a user manual key bindings Stuff like that. You can also search through that using keywords here. I haven't really played with that much The project is over on source forge and the download links are here. Of course you can download this For Windows Mac Linux you get the source code and compile it yourself I'm sure BSD as well if you are on Linux. It should probably be in your repositories So you can use your package manager to install it And less for some reason it's an older version Then what is currently available? You might want to look into pulling down the source and compiling it It doesn't take very long to do now In this series, I'm going to try to explain everything as best I can with a lot of detail But I'm also going to assume that you have some idea on How doom works and one of the things that you need to have doom For doomed to work is the wad file the wad file thing of it is kind of like a zip file It's a big file. It contains all the information for the game besides the source code so you can get the source code and you compile it Or you can just get a binary executable of it for the game, but all the art the Sprites the wall textures the floor and ceiling textures the levels the music all that comes from the wad file Which is completely modifiable But although the game itself the source code the program is free under the gpl license All the artwork and assets that are inside the wad file are not they're under a copyright So you're gonna either need a copy of that or You can you get a which is not free and open source if I just said that so you'd have to buy a copy of doom I still have all my CDs from the 90s So I have my copies, but if you don't have it you can always use free doom So the point of free doom was it's a project that basically redos all that Proprietary stuff in the wad file all the assets all the sprites wall textures Graphics fonts and texts and stuff like that and it replaces all of them And it's just a wad file that you can solve now You can get it here at free doom dot github.io You can get that wad file there or again if you're on Linux is as simple as going to your package manager Searching for free doom and it would will install it you also need doom executable which there are many varieties out there I use PR do boom plus. So that's PR boom plus. I should have brought that up. Let's see PR boom Plus Right here also So it's PR boom. I'm assuming is how you pronounce that per boom dash plus Sourceforge net and you can go to the links here and you can download That but again if you're on Linux it should be in your package manager already And there's also other executable. So if you have one that you prefer over this You can do that. There are some that have way more advanced features. I like PR boom Plus because it's it's a lot like the original engine but with a lot of you know upgrades and tweaks without making it too much of a different game So those are things you're gonna need you're gonna need Eureka doom editor you're gonna need a wad file if you don't have you can get the free doom one and You're going to need some sort of executable to run the game after you create your levels So PR boom plus is just one of them. There's also chocolate doom vanilla doom and Many others again if you're on Linux just search your package manager for all these and it should be available for you If you're running some other operating system, you might have to go out and find them manually at the Addresses I just recommend it So once you download it and install it start program And that's what we'll pick up in the next tutorial and we'll start looking at the concepts of how doom levels are created and The different elements of that so I do thank you for watching this little introduction I'm sure check out the link in the description to the full playlist if you don't already have the full playlist going and As always I thank you for watching.
