SuperAutoShotgun is the name of your actor, which must be unique (in other words, it cannot be the same name as any other existing actor, or ZDoom will complain). "ACTOR" must be included in the header - this tells ZDoom that this is the beginning of a new actor.
For our purposes, use a header like this: This tells ZDoom what the internal name of your actor is, whether it borrows code from another actor (what's known as "inheritance"), and which ID number will refer to it (commonly called a "DoomEdNum" or Doom editor number - this is the number that editors like Doom Builder use to specify which actors will be placed in a map). The basis of any Decorate code ("Actor") is the ACTOR header. Our first weapon is going to be a simple automatic shotgun using built-in Doom resources, so don't worry about new graphics, sounds, or anything but code. We'll need to get some text in here eventually, so click on Decorate.txt in the lump list, then in the right panel, click on "Edit as Text." SLADE's internal text editor is now open for your usage. Now since this "lump" (how Doom refers to individual files of data in an archive) has no actual data in it yet, SLADE will treat it as a marker. SLADE will ask you what to call it let's call it Decorate.txt (so that ZDoom knows what to do with it). To get started with a decorate lump, go to the menu bar and choose Archive -> New -> Entry (or the icon of the piece of paper with the E on it). You should have an empty, untitled Zip archive in the window. Click Create Zip Archive you could easily also make a WAD, as ZDoom supports both, but PK3s are much better for organization, and it's always good to drill good working habits early on. Go ahead and start up SLADE you'll find yourself at the SLADE start page. You might also need to install the Visual Studio 2010 runtimes (if SLADE crashes and complains that you're missing MSVCP100.dll, you need to install them - there is a link to them on Slade's website). You will need it for everything related to Doom modding. Since you're here, you probably don't have much idea what to do with a Decorate lump (and if you do, bear with me), so let's go over the absolute basics.įirst off, go get yourself a copy of SLADE 3.0. You've probably got some amazing Grand Designs in mind, and ZDoom can probably provide everything you need to make them work - but slow down, sometimes it can be pretty tricky to figure out what you need to do.
So you want to make your first new weapon.
