The GZDoom "wad" was not what doombuilder needed, it really is looking for the DOOM, DOOM2 IWADS.

I actually thought this too at first. When you see the selection ZDoom (Doom in Doom format), pick DOOM.WAD, when you see ZDOOM (Doom in Hexen Format), pick the doom wad you have. It dosn't really matter if you pick DOOM.WAD or DOOM2.WAD, just make shure the origional setting (DOOM, DOOM2) etc, is also set to a DOOM.WAD and DOOM2.WAD respectivly. When you see ZDOOM (Heretic in Hexen format) pick heretic wad. Thats how i have mine set up. And it works for me

Wrong forum! Moving to general discussions.

I can't get it to work!!!
I have the cfg file for DB in the DB repertory: "GZdoom.cfg"
When I select "GZDoom", DB don't show the maps of the pwad.
Same thing with Zdoom.

When I edit "Sapphire.wad", made fro GZDoom, I can select GZDoom to edit this pwad and I have all the GZDoom specific features.

????????

Resume:
- if a pwad was made for GZDoom, I can select "GZDoom" to edit it.
- If a pwad was made for Zdoom, I can select "Zdoom" to edit it
- If a pwad was made for Doom2, I can't change it and I can't add GZDoom or Zdoom features, because the map(s) of the pwad are not displayed in the menu asking what map I want to edit.

What's wrong?!?

Of course, "ratcage.wad" is here ONLY as an example, and I don't want to change it. It belongs to its author, and I don't intend to edit it.

DoomBuilder does not have a built-in converter that will change "doom format" maps into "hexen format". You need ZWadConv from Randy's ZDoom Editing Utilities. Note: ZWadConv is a console ("command-line") utility; I do not know of any GUI program that can do this.

oh, I understand now!!!
Thank you for your answer!
I thought stupidly that, as far as Doom Legacy was able to be implemented even if a map was made for the regular Doom, it was the same thing with GZDoom, but I forgot a very important point: it's that the format of the map is changed for the Zdoom one!!! And the DB file indicated clearly this fact, the format changing from "1" to "2".

I tried it and it's working perfectly well.
I have now to rename the converted file from "blabla.wadz" to blablaz.wad", and that's it.
Thank you again!!!

Here is what I explain on my site.

Do you think that it's well explained or I need to change (or to add) something?
