i have just thought of something. i have made some levels and i want to put them together in the select level screen(already done).but if u have to convert the level first before putting it into the script. surely u can't use a wad twice. Is it true?

Yeah you can. As long as you have got all the folders and files in the right places, you can use the same wad as many times as you like.

i have 5 levels al together(tut, coastal 2, city of the dead 2)

but i don't no how to connect them because you cannot convert city of the dead twic and coastal twice can you.

example
-------

in the script.txt i will copy a block of tut and paste it after city of the dead,right?

then copy a block of coastal and paste it after tut and then paste it again after that coastal then do the same for city of the dead.

but how do i convert the coastal and city of the dead? i have already converted the first coastal but how do i convert the other one it will overwrite the first one right?

Tell me what you would do when u have just build the tut, coastal 2 and a city of the dead 2. (5 levels)and how you would connect them and what you would do to convert them.


please mate

I see what you mean now!!

Just make a copy of the entire wad (all 9 or 10 files) and then re-name them all to whatever you want (ie copy the coastal wad you wanna use in coastal2, but call them all coastal2).

In the editor, go to load objects, and load the new wad (coastal2 wad for example). Then output that wad.

Again make sure the rest of the files are there to.

Hope this hepls ya,

Vi
