The best editor?

Whats the best Win32 Editor?

[XDelusion]

I'd stick with DeepSea personally, it has to have the most features of any DOOM editor, has built in support for all DOOM ports, is easy as hell to use, and even brews coffee for you. You can download a demo here:

Its only limitation I think is how large you can make your levels, which is still quite huge, though I registered and it was well worth the money. The support is great, there has been a lot of updates, and I get more use out of that one program than any other program on my computer!

Yeah, the only limitation to the registration is you only get upgrades for six months according to what it says in the docs.

Frankly, I don't know why anyone would want to charge upgrade renewal for a DooM editor. Maybe it has something to do with very few new people wanting to buy this thing ever so that makes the programming time worth more money.

Ya, I forgot about that, it is strange, I wonder when I am getting the boot? http://forums.newdoom.com/UBB/smile.gif

Oh well, I am pretty content with DeepSea as it is, just need to get a hold of my registered EXE for the latest version and I think I'll be quite content. The only way I see myself renewing is if he adds some really cracked out features that work hand in hand with DOOM Legacy version 28.9: Crack Monkey Edition. Or more realistically, TOTAL MD2 and MD3 support, modeling, skinning, everything...


ya right.

I'll renew for sure if he puts a real 3D mode in. Sort of like the one in BUILD. That kicked ass and I don't see why not since that worked on a 486.

Striker: The better question to be asking, is which is the best win32 editor for me. People's preferences go right across the board in the community. There's Why, Deepsea, Windeu, Doomcad, wadauthor to name but a few.

//Edit: Actually, I'm not sure if Doomcad is win32, but just try every editor you can get your hands on.

[Doom_Dude]

DoomCad runs fine in Win95 and 98. Dunno about anything else...

It works on w2k, too.

Can someone delete his other posts so things are less confusing?

Oy ya dude, if you are finding DeepSea hard to learn, goto the Help Section, there is a tuturial built into it!

Well,after finally getting DETH to work, more problems. It seems that all sound acting on lindefs doesnt work in my dam level.The sounds of Doors,lifts,etc doesnt work. Very weird, I am switching...

[Pate]

If you don't get sound, it's not the editor's fault. Your bug is somewhere else.

Many of us want to know how you made DETH work in XP, please enlighten us.

[Aliotroph?]

The editor has nothing to do with those sounds. It's likely that you just don't have the sounds in DooM working properly in WinXP.
