Hi, I've been looking over the modding tutorials because I'm thinking of doing some modding. I'm still very much a newbie at it, but I have a bit of experience in programming from a high school course I took years ago, so I think, with some practice, I could create some interesting designs. :)
These tutorials have been helpful in getting me started, but I think, right now, I would get a lot of benefit from taking an existing Doom level and just playing around with it to figure out how to do stuff and also figure out what I *can* do. I tried downloading the
Hell's Arena and
Infinite Arena maps cited in the tutorial, but both of them crash when I tried running them. :( I suspect it has to do with the fact that I'm running them in version 0.9.9.6 and they're designed for 0.9.9.4, because when I copied them over to that version, they worked fine. So, now, I'm wondering how much of these tutorials I can trust to be up to date. I know that at least *some* of it works, because when I copy/pasted the design for the
basic map, it worked fine for 0.9.9.6.
So, I guess my question is what's the next step for me in learning how to make mods for 0.9.9.6?
