This thread is likely to start a flame war... http://forums.newdoom.com/UBB/biggrin.gif

I prefer WadED, but since Doom_Dude made thos ini files that allow doomcad to make 3d floors, I have been toying around with that.

I use WADED mainly, then other editors to patch stuff together. I'm hoping WHY will get a copy / paste feature soon. WadAuthor screws up the tags when you copy / paste. http://forums.newdoom.com/UBB/frown.gif

(cough) I mean, I use WADED. http://forums.newdoom.com/UBB/tongue.gif

I've used DoomCad 5.1 to copy / paste (using template mode) entire levels into a new wad. It takes a few tries to get it on the grid though. I did this recently and it remembers everything in the wad. I don't recommend it because it's hard to get it to paste on the grid nicely. http://forums.newdoom.com/UBB/wink.gif

[The Spamiard]

EdMap, baby, yeah!! Hm. I s'pose that wasn't too funny. Fine. *cough*...I mean WadAuthor.

------------------
"Are you the one they call the Spamiard?"

[Jow]

I use windeu for maps.

Wintex and XWE for graphics and sounds.

Textpad for editing jdoom's deds.

I might use Why when it shows the textures in walls and flats.

[ReX]

WadAuthor for maps
XWE, DeepSea, and WinTex for lump management (i.e., inserting graphic patches, creating textures, inserting sounds, music, sprites, etc.)

[Torn]

Wad Author!

simple, perfect and great.

[Pate]

The current (not released) version of Why does show flat graphics. I might add texture graphics too, if I get around to it.

The graphics themselves are easy to show, in fact one earlier version already showed some of them. It's just that adding all the views is a bit of a layout problem.

------------------
Tired of crappy Doom editors? So was I, that's why I'm coding my own (http://www.hut.fi/~jpakkane/why/).

[Jow]

BTW. Does it support custom flats? Some editors doesn't do that. And custom line/sector/thing types would be great too.
Windeu has them, expect the things.

[Pate]

Custom flats and graphics are supported. As is adding new item types.
