Subject: Re: DEUSF & NWT.
I have been working with merging several .WAD files containing a multitude
of different things. And after about five or six hours of headaches, I've
come to a somewhat rational conclusion.
I can't get DEUSF to 'join' or 'merge' .WAD files without messing them up in
some fasion. Under SOUNDS.WAD, I have my new sounds, WEAPONS.WAD,
MONSTERS.WAD, FLOORS.WAD - you get the drift...
Trying to use "DEUSF -JOIN NEWWAD.WAD SOUNDS.WAD" works just fine, matter of
fact, it works perfectly in merging anything EXCEPT level data. When I try
to insert level data (any, in fact, in any position), running DOOM causes
major crashes, or the new textures from the monsters or weapons do not show
or cause palette failures.
The only way I was able to successfully put level data (my levels to go with
all the new stuff) was to use NWT's option "F4" to directly export the data
into a PWAD. Doing this manually through 9 levels is cumbersome.
Is this a fluke in DEUSF or should I be using a different command?
My MERGE.BAT file looks like this:
rem - first copy my 1st level - everything else gets added...
copy e1m1.wad NEWWAD.wad /y
rem - now join everything else in...
deusf -join NEWWAD.wad sounds.wad
deusf -join NEWWAD.wad walls.wad
deusf -join NEWWAD.wad weapons.wad

It seems that doom-editing has been having problems. I haven't located
any trouble spots, so I'm taking the easy way out by sending a message
to the list and watching what happens.
My apologies for the list's problems.

It seems everyone involved was fairly stupid. (Although I admit, Mike did win
the Stupidity Award for that one... I wouldn't let my PARENTS have my password,
let alone 300+ strangers) Mike should have just uploaded it to cdrom.com and
say "Hey guys, get my patch from cdrom.com!" or set up a anonymous FTP on his
system. However, all seems well, Mike's a little wiser, and we are so far off
the topic of Doom editing we should all just shut our word-holes now.
(As for AOL: I was on there once. Took me two months to come back to my senses.
Now I just use those free disks for extra blanks. :)
