I think there are some simple wad editing tutorials on the DooM FTP site. I'll see what I can dig up on the weekend.

DooMCAD has an extensive tutorial on how to build levels in its help file. It really helped me when I was starting. I guess that is why I still use DooMCAD today, in spite of its faults. One problem with the DooMCAD tutorial is that it was made for a fairly early version of DooMCAD and was never updated for the newer versions, so there are a few discrepencies between the tutorial and the actual editor. It still takes you through in an easy step-by-step manner, and should be very useful to you.

If you can't get hold of a copy, just let me know, and I will send it to you.

It also helps to be a little on the crazy side, you know, like that REoL character http://forums.newdoom.com/ubb/biggrin.gif.

BTW: The book 3D Game Alchemy by Sams publishing is an excellent resource. It is so good that when I came here to college, I made sure that I brought my copy with me. It even has chapters that were written by Justin Fisher, the creator of Aliens TC.

The book is probably out of print now, but I have seen copies of it floating around in small computer shops and bargain book stores for around $5.00 (I paid $40.00 for my copy). Most of the copies I have seen do not include the companion CD, but nearly everything from the CD can be found at the DooM FTP site.
