what do you guys use? I have a few ideas, and I think I'd like to give modding a shot

Is it difficult to make new weapons? How do you do that?

I'd like to make a nearly complete overhaul, new weapons, new enemies, new HUD (I like how doom displayed the ammo count of all weapons on the right)

I'd also like to see three or four different kinds of weapons for each number, like in Renegade, if you've ever played it

It is VERY difficult to make good-looking new weapons, sprite wise.

Level editor:

www.doombuilder.com

WAD editor:

http://www.doomworld.com/xwe/

You can use DECORATE and KEYCONF to manipulate weapons and the number of weapons assigned to each number.

You also really have to be good with sprites, trust me, if you take a look at my mod's crudy sprites you would know why.

Slime, you forgot about http://zdoom.org/wiki/Creating_new_sprite_graphics.
I know what you're thinking. No, I don't like peanut butter.

If I had to choose between the real world or the Chex Quest Fan forums; I'd choose the Chex Quest fan forums.

That's not for MAKING sprites. It's arranging them.

No, no. I mean how to name them to arrange the frames in a proper sequence.

doom builder won't work, a .dll file is missing, I think it has to do with the fact I'm running x64

I tried running it on 3.1 (through dosbox), it just crashed

any ideas?

Doom Builder isn't fond of Vista. Neither am I. If you look on the site, there should be a tutorial on how to run Doom Builder on Vista. If there isn't, Google it.

Tru, tech support has a topic on XWE and DooM Builder in Vista.
Don't take me seriously. In fact, don't take me at all!

Is there a text version of the help file available for XWE?

XWE Is a learn it you're slef kinda program. There is of course a guide on texture making. You can find all/everything posible to learn on the internet about doom modding. (For beginners of course.) http://drsleep.newdoom.com/tutor.shtml

it's actually not a guide for doom, so I don't know if it will work... I'm trying it now
