Dehacked Files and Legacy

[Big_al]

I believe with Legacy you can embed Dehacked files in your WAD. Anyone know how you do this?
Is it just a case of inserting the file as a lump?

[Aliotroph?]

You could always try it and see if it works. I wouldn't be surprised if it did. Legacy is nice for things like that. You could just run it from the launcher of course, but having it in the wad is nicer.

I'm interested in this information as well. I also want to know if the dehacked file is in the wad will it cause problems with other ports? I assume it probably would...

its really easy to implent deh files with Deepsea....but a deh file implented in a wad don't always work. some stuff you wanted to change might not work. so its better to implent a dehacked file in bex format, don't even bother turning it into a lmp....

What is BEX, where can I get more info on it, and does it work with Legacy?

Never encountered that problem. I just rename the file to DEHACKED and DeeP changes it to a LMP for me.

Managed to insert it okay using XWE.
Called my Dehacked file "DEHACKED.DEH". Loaded wad into XWE, chose "Entry" then "Load". Picked the "DEHACKED.DEH" file and it loaded it in, simple.

Awsome, I have to wait for XWE to become downloadable again, then I will try this. Still very curious what the hell a BEX file is, but in the mean time, I am sure I'll have many hours of fun and frustration playing with this! http://forums.newdoom.com/UBB/smile.gif

Ummmm. Ok maybe I am dumb or just too new to this but...

I got XWE to download again finally, loaded it up, loaded the WAD file I wanted to add my DEHACKED.DEH file to, then I went into entries, loaded DEHACKED.DEH, and it went in, but then I wanted to save the WAD and there was no option, there was only an option to save as a lmp file, so I said screw it, closed XWE and loaded it up again. The first thing I noticed when I loaded my WAD back up was that the DEH file was still in there apparently, so it must have auto saved?!?!

Anyhow I boot up DOOM, load up my WAD, and nothing. I know the DEH file works by itself, but when added to the WAD...

...nothing.

Am I missing something here?

BEX=Boom Executable
Does that answer your question? Gawd, go away a few days and the whole place falls apart.

BEX is another Dehacked type file

I manly use bex format when implenting the dehacked infomation into the wad or when making the rail effect and other stuff for Zdoom.

[DOOMChild]

Got this working.

Anyhow does Legacy support BEX files too?

Nope, but zdoom does.
