Hey guys,

Lately I've really wanted to get into making some maps for Doom 2. I'm using Doom Builder 2 and I've learnt how to use it well enough now that I can create a decent level, but the problem is that one I go to test the level and Doom 2 opens, it simply starts straight away at the beginning of E1M1 rather than my level. I can't figure it out and I can't find much on Google.

Any help here guys? Also a nice Doom WAD thread since I'll be downloading more anyway.

Cheers!

Edit -> Map Options

What did you put as your level name? Maps need to occupy a slot in the IWAD, i.e. they need to replace a level name such as E1M1. If you want to give your map a title like "My First Map" you can do that elsewhere.

In the case of Doom 2, you probably want to use MAP01.

My map was called newmap01... That could be the issue, then, thankyou!

Perfect, I changed it to MAP01 in the map options and now it works fine, feel a lot more comfortable putting time into maps now that they are playable.

Anyone have any recommendations for other maps I should download? Personal favourites
