Hi, i´m new at this forum and i hope you can help me out with the problem.
It´s as i wrote above, i am building maps with edmap 1.31 (more stable than the 1.4) and every time i want to start it with the jdoom launcher, it crashes when i hit "new game" and in the following menu the difficulty... i also tried compiling with edmap, compiling with jdoom, nothing worked :( sometimes, i dont know how, but sometimes it just worked and there were no crashes and nothing. then i modified my map again, and it was over again :(
Maybe other launchers would work better? legacy brought me an error about he could not find the main wad file... infact i told him where to find the doom2.wad... very strange :(
thx so far for the help.

Check your doom version, check if your map has everything that has to be there and be certain that all nodes are build:)

Wow, this is really fast help, thx :)
jDoom crashes with: "jDoom.exe caused an error blabla" (some german stuff i cannot translate correctly). there´s no error code :(
I dont think there´s a problem with the map i am building, even when i create a single room map with nothing in it instead of the player start, it works with doom2 "classic". but when i try to start jdoom and hit new game, it comes to the error.
Maybe it´s the "newes" alpha i´m using? can someone post a link to the most stable last version of jdoom pls?
ah yes, the version of doom2 i am using is the 1.666.

I think it could be this simple every time.. i just put in a "test exit" and all deathmatch starts and coop starts and it works :) I hope it keeps going :) Thanx alot so far :)

Its edmap´s fault at all. The tiniest bug in the map makes jdoom crashing and edmap is kinda bugful ;). To bad that edmap is the only doom editor i can work with really good. but i think i can fix all bugs out so far. saving, testing, saving testing and so on, thats how it works :D
Next Question would be, how can i build a completely new 32map wadfile with edmap? or can i use an external program for compiling a new wad after i built all my 32 maps with edmap?

EDIT:
Maybe i should start a new thread under classic doom editing *rolleyes*

Nope, i can help here, i dunno about edmap but you could better use doombuilder:)
Just make seperate maps and join them together via edmap:) (if that's possible, else just download XWE and merge the wads)
