Write back and tell me what you think. In my opinion, you can't get anywhere without reading the manual! The manual doesn't make it any better either.

Actually the manual does make sense but it a while to figure out what their trying to say if udont know how to make door for example read the creating doors section... or read whats below

u amy want to know these if u don't already know:

1:to create door the rooms have to be at the exact level it should say "floor:0" on both the rooms then, select the gray area (ex:the room is to the left of your main one then select the gray squares to the left of your main room) and and press the black button :door:
2:making room, press the select button and select an empty space, and when you are renaming it dont forget to press enter.
3:First u want to move your room beside the other room by doing so press 2D map, right click and hold the mouse right button and drag the mouse that will make it move!
4: Almost every WAD(object) needs a trigger except for LARA, u put out lara first or later dosen't matter but u HAVE TO put out LARA so u can play the game... no u can't have more than one.
5:to trigger a door make a door first(a real door not the portal doors)then select the door it should be highlited red then click on an empty space like right in front of the door and press the so called pink trigger button which is actualy purple and then press on the door again. When u step on the square which u put the trigger on then the door will open. Samewith making fire or baddies.
6:load objects- to do so select load objects in the objects menu at the top.
7:load textures- to do so select load TGA in the textures menu.

Thats all u need to know practicaly if u'r a begginer... Have fun!

True, but design of the editor is, plainly put, too advanced for idiots like me.

Start slow... what would you like to do first? Get in your mind what you want to achieve, then put the parts together... Where do you want to start?
