I know this sounds stupid, but I'm unfamiliar with Doomsday. I know how to load wad files, but I'm not sure how to load .deh files. Can someone tell me how, or tell me if Doomsday isn't compatible with .deh files? I heard there was a patch that would allow you to use .deh files, but I didn't find it. Can anyone help me out?

deh´s can be loaded by 3 ways 1) put it into defs/j(game)/auto/
2)create addon - see kickprofiles/ and edit some .ksp file with wordpad or notepad
3)load it by def tab in kickstart
This is very easy....

deh file are compatible with Doomsday
Copy the deh file in the Data/jDoom fodler, at kickstart add the option -deh your file.deh
And start the game

Thanks guy, and Jaquboss I know it's easy, but I never learned. lol At least I'm not as dumb as the guy who put all of his super nintendo gear into the dish washer to clean it. LOL Just to make sure, in Kickstart 2(what I use) I go to other options, click on add to the command line, and type -deh yourfile.deh . If that's right, sweet. Thanks guys again.

note that dehs can cause crashes.Don´t try to set shootable to missiles it causes lockups.(Tried only in legacy , but it was original doom error too)
ANd i don´t want to call you dump , and one think try readme first! :-)

Ded can do more things , for examole you can add thing or frames without editing old ones.
In deh you must sacrfice something to make something new..

EDIT: but i am missing one thing - I can make non-attacking monsters by ded way , but can´t make cooping monsters ( got nice marine imp for this :-) )

so what was the final resolution to your -deh problem. I'm interested to see step by step instructions to play TCs using Doomsday.
