a small problem...

[a_demonic_lemon]

im having a problem with the automap-it wont show on ANY wads, even if i run doom without a pwad, even when i type iddt a few thousand times.
how can i fix this?

(yes, im aware i ask alot of questions)

Did you press the automap key? :D Which one is it?

[Reckoner]

What port are you using? Are you sure that you didn't assign the automap to a different key (the default is tab)?

[a_demonic_lemon]

i use gzdoom and skulltag
i assigned the key for tab
for some reason when i press it, the screen goes black with a white dot in the middle of the screen an the hud at the bottom until i press tab again

[Reckoner]

That is strange. Do you still have trouble with it in the software renderer (Options -> Set Video Mode)? Have you tried playing around with the automap colors under the display options (to make sure that, for example, walls and the background aren't set to the same color)? Do you at least see the map name and number at the bottom, or is it completely black except for the dot and the HUD?

This may or may not work.... try this ...

Press your + ( plus ) key down, and if necessary, keep it down.

Just a thought .....................

im wondering- this never happended until i got a new videocard and hard drive and put my doom files on the hard drive- could that be the problem?

Yes it could, and that's why I asked you if it happened in the software renderer. If you only get this problem in a hardware mode, then it could be your video card. Try downloading the latest drivers and maybe check your settings to make sure nothing is screwy.
