Sprite Trouble

[FACE.UK]

I wonder if anyone can help me. I am trying to put together a one level demo of my Trek project but I have hit a problem. I have replaced plenty of textures and sprites. I am compiling the level as follows.

I am using Deep

First I opened the map then some walls/flats etc. Then I group save so hey are all together. I have done this a number of times group more and more tex/flats etc so I get the ones that I need.

Everything is working okay except for two sprites. They do not show the new ones I have replaced them with. They are sat in the correct pos according to the editor.

I have a main wad that I am editng with (9megs) and when I run it in legacy they are all there present and correct.

If this makes sense can someone tell me where I may be going wrong?

You mean they don't show in DOOM? Or don't show where?

I assume you know that stock DOOM does not replace sprites the same way as Legacy and other BOOM derivates.

I mean with in the game itself. I am using legacy to play it.

Normally I don't have a sprite.pak and a texture.pak and flat.pak.
I just leave it all bound up in one big wad. So when I have done all my gfx replacements I just delete the textures I don't need so all I am left with is the tex/flat/sprites I want.

This time I didn't do that. If I run the main wad as I have explained above the two sprites are there. It is only since I have tried to compile this demo they do not appear.

I am truely puzzled. http://forums.newdoom.com/UBB/smilies/cwm31.gif

So you have all the new sprites between SS_START and SS_END?

Grouping doesn't necessarily put stuff in the correct order. Use the F7-PWAD Lump Fixing Tool to check and fix.

No there is no SS_START and SS_END. However the F7 button does not bring up a Lump Fixing Tool. Just Gridsnap, Autocentre, Autoselect etc. I have Deep 97.c. Maybe I am being a bit stupid. I have looked into using wintex but that just baffled the hellout of me and I would rather use Deep as I am more familiar with it.

Oh. Install the shareware version of DeePsea 11.74. It can coexist with DeeP97, so long as you put it in a separate directory. It has all the features of Wintex and then some.

There is a tool specifically designed just to rearrange or rename lumpnames. Use the Insert" button to put the SS_START in front of the first sprite and SS_END after the last. Also make sure all your sprites are between these 2 markers. If not this tool will take care of that problem.

F7 has a whole boatload of new tools. None of the tools have any limit.s

Thanks for the help.....Such great after sales support :-)

Sorry. But I still can't figure this out. Could you just point me a little further into the right direction? I have Deepsea Shareware and have tried the F7 Tool. But I am still at a loss. I have put my barrel sprites into a wad between ss_start and ss_end but they do not apear as barrels.

Any help would be appreciated.

Don't know what else to explain. Could be the names you used? You can download KABOOM from www.sbsoftware.com/downloads (http://www.sbsoftware.com/downloads) for an example (there are probably other good sample levels too though) or you can send me the level so I can see myself.
