I have a correction for things I said at 3:47 and 8:56 - The Fist and Chainsaw SHOULD NOT ever shoot bullets or plasma, as it causes a glitch where your Shotgun is no longer able to hold ammo.. If you look at 19:34, you'll notice when the fist is shooting pistol shots, that the SHELL capacity is going down! In the bottom right, it should say 0 / 50, but it goes down to 49, 48, etc. This causes the shotgun to be useless and is generally buggy. So, DO NOT attempt to give anything but melee weapons (fists and chainsaws) infinite ammo. Sorry about the mix up!
so it actually gets a bit goofier if you start playing around with the ammo type in the bex file by hand. 0 - 3 correspond to regular ammo values, 4-7 are the *total* ammo values - so if you use the "unknown" ammo type, it'll use the max bullets value; if you set ammo type to 6 or 7 you'll use max plasma or rockets. the most bizarre one is setting the ammo type to 8. you'll end up with a weapon that normally has 0 ammo until you fire it, where it will immediately be set to 1 until it reaches a frame where it actually fires something and return to 0. if you set this weapon to only use physical attacks (punch or saw), it will stay at 1 ammo until you switch weapons where it will return to 0 when re-equipped. if you have multiple firing frames, it'll dip into a negative ammo counter and switch out, though again it'll reset to 0 after re-equipping. i'm assuming it's not really a proper ammo type so much as some internal ammo counter handler that's normally not supposed to be accessible, but is potentially useful for infinite ammo weapons. the only issue then is how some source ports handle this a bit differently. prboom+ works pretty much perfectly, where you can just keep shooting your infinite ammo weapon repeatedly without issue. crispy doom wants to switch to a different weapon after every shot, but the weapon can be immediately re-equipped and fired again. might be worth playing around with this some more to see if that can be worked around in some way (or just give an alternate bex file for crispy players) setting the ammo type to 9 or higher just gives you a 0 ammo weapon, unable to fire. also keep in mind leaving ammo type at anything higher than 5 will cause whacked to crash on load. thanks for coming to my ted talk
Editing text strings to say "poop" was pretty much the extend of my knowledge with dehacked, so thank you for this. Great tutorial. Could you make one on advanced vanilla mapping tricks, like the fake 3D structures? I found Mordeth's old pages on Doomworld, but I'm having a hard time following the text instructions with 320x200 pictures...
dude this is huge. This is an absolutely vital video for me, as I plan to construct some boom maps with a few custom enemies sprinkled in to make more interesting gameplay scenarios. I had previously known how to work decorate for custom stuff, but now I prefer to make boom maps. Awesome video, always wanted to learn dehacked stuff
I learned about dehacked in 1996 from "tricks of the doom programming gurus" book and I can't say I don't feel old right now looking at that tiny font text interface in dos. Then again, it's not as if vanilla doom ever changes
Here’s a hint to everyone who’s making a resprite you can change the colors to vanilla compatible trough slade by making a empty entry at the start of the files named SS_START and one at the end named SS_END and select all of them and change to the colors that are in the vanilla palette
Sprite monsters are good for old vanilla dooming. I remember having fun just messing around randomly in dehacked for msdos back in the day. Back then I had nothing but dehacked and edmap.
Great tutorial! I just started to make a doom mods myself (after a years of playing doom mods and asking myself, how people doing this?), and this tutorial really helped me! And your other tutorials, like add custom music or textures, really helped me too! :)
Excellent video, I feel like I've learned so much. Thank you for cutting it down and getting straight to your point with helpful examples. You really made this easier to understand, thank you!!
i use GZDoom and ZDLauncher... but this video was of great help to me..... especially pointing out which inputs will glitch out the game.. that was boss.
Thankfully, the BFG ball doesn’t really care which object spawned it - no matter what object did, it will create tracers between the impact point and that object, taking the direction the object was facing into account. The game really was programmed in a way to be friendly to alterations and expansions!
Very informative. I've certainly learned a few things in this one even beyond the original aim of the tutorial. Thank you! Now, as i develop interest in building a custom arsenal for a Doom project, i do want to learn all this stuff. However, some questions still remain, as a few subjects have been overlooked: 1) Can you use the WhackED/DEHacked editors with Hexen and Heretic as opposed to just Doom? 2) You have never said anything about changing the damage of the player's hitscan weapons, or the enemy hitscan weapon for that matter. How would that work? 3) What about changing melee damage or range? Chainsaw range, for example. 4) How about the weapons like Railgun, - the kind that are not based on the derivatives of vanilla. How do they make this happen? 5) Last but not least: ALT Fire?

Excellent tutorial! There's not many of them, so I'm glad you're making them! The only thing that didn't work for me was the S_END lump. Doom hangs and doesn't load any further. I had to change S_END to SS_END to make it work. Also, it seems like the order doesn't really matter. Is it because I'm using Ultimate Doom instead of Doom2? Anyway, keep up the good work!
I found the problem! I was replacing the sprites with the original sprite names, which messes things up. It looks like I have to use custom sprite names, and then the S_END lump works fine too. Which also means I can't just change sprites without using a DeHackEd file.
so anytime I try to replace any sprite weapon enemy or object (and yes I am converting them to doom gfx) it just crashes the game. It says "Invalid Sprite Frame". You know a way to fix this?
I was wondering how you got custom sprites in rudy2v1.wad without having to use the merge parameter -- good info! Does anyone know why loading custom sprites is so funky with vanilla?
Apparently, id actually wanted people to be able to add custom sprites, but they messed up the line of code that was supposed to allow it! www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/70755-vanilla-custom-sprites-oddities/
This has been handy, thanks! Do you think an extra video covering Dehextra could be a good idea? Informations about seem fairly limited beside "more stuff, states, things, etc can be added". Like, i'm not certain how I could use it.
lovely tutorial btw i tried something similar with DEHEXTRA but the strings table seems really different, and idk how to use the texture replacements, and unfortunately there arent dehextra tutorials out there
I have this entierly custom monster. I want to make it spawn naturally in any wad with a given chance of replacing a pinky. Is there an easier way of pulling this off, without a custom actor for random spawns?
I’m sorry to say, but that’s beyond my skill set. I do know that the easiest way to do what you want is to use DECORATE though, and I’m sure some people on Doomworld or ZDoom forums would be willing to help
I've been trying to include a Slaughterfest and Tarachillax dehacked patches in my wad and when loading my infinite BFG, it crashes the program and I get an error message. I've been wanting to include cybers that fire 14 rockets instead of just one in addition to the infinite BFG but I've been having some problems with it.
It is, but he has to have “look” and “chase” frames just like other enemies, and he hardly has enough frames. What I’ve done before to free up some frames I’d borrow some from the SS nazi!
Could this method be used to create totally new enemies without replacing the existing ones? Like, I want to create a custom zombieman enemy that can coexist with the default Zombieman and the Shotgun Zombie?
Sadly it's not possible, the best option is to replace Keen or SS. However if you want to target ZDoom-based ports, Decorate allows you to add plenty of custom stuff, without having to replace anything.
@@DoomKid Ok, so you can only change existing enemies stats and sprites. With decorate you can create new enemies from scratch. Got it. Thank you, DoomKid. Ps: btw, while I was writing this comment, I was watching the Spawn "Making of" and when I was about to write "decorate" I heard Michael J. White saying "decorated" lol
Is it possible to modify actions in vanilla or boom? I mean: let say I want to change SpidRefire to work like PainAttack creating monster or thing I want without interfering Lost Soul.
In weird ways - You'd have to re-define the Lost Soul actor itself, since PainAttack is hard-coded to summon that specific actor. Unfortunately, a lot of the hard-coded stuff can't be undone in DEH/BEX..
Notice Realm667 implementing more PK3/ZScripts instead of Decorates (Actors) and WADS. This makes it more difficult to use custom monsters. I'm not familiar with complicated ZScripts. I had to pass on using some of the newer Realm667 monsters and weapons. Difficult to convert ZScript to Decorate/Actor.
The easiest way would be to use Slade to export all the mugshot graphics, edit them using whatever image editing program you like, then re-import them into your own wad, being sure to convert them back to 'doom image format'. Hopefully this helps you get started.

Is it possible to modify actions in vanilla or boom? I mean: let say I want to change SpidRefire to work like PainAttack creating monster or thing I want without interfering Lost Soul.
In weird ways - You'd have to re-define the Lost Soul actor itself, since PainAttack is hard-coded to summon that specific actor. Unfortunately, a lot of the hard-coded stuff can't be undone in DEH/BEX..
Notice Realm667 implementing more PK3/ZScripts instead of Decorates (Actors) and WADS. This makes it more difficult to use custom monsters. I'm not familiar with complicated ZScripts. I had to pass on using some of the newer Realm667 monsters and weapons. Difficult to convert ZScript to Decorate/Actor.
Can you do a tutorial for creating a custom status bar face? or some tips on getting started?
The easiest way would be to use Slade to export all the mugshot graphics, edit them using whatever image editing program you like, then re-import them into your own wad, being sure to convert them back to 'doom image format'. Hopefully this helps you get started.
@@DoomKid I appreciate it, it is definitely a start
I made doom only hitscan
Is there a way to add new enemies to the game WITHOUT simply modifying/replacing one of the existing ones?
For that, you have to use DECORATE (for ZDoom-family ports like GZDoom).
since ports like dsda dont support decorate,language sndinfo and all that this helped me out about a fuckton
