wad making things

i need help with picking a wad editor.. What is recommended

SRB2Doom Builder
SlumpEd

That will be all.

You might also want to check out the list of wad editors at the SRB2 Wiki.

I would suggest XWE instead of Slumped, I find it a bit easier. And slightly more stable.

Pffft, hah hah, of all the WAD editors I've ever used, XWE is the most unstable and unreliable.

XWE for the most part is stable enough for regular use, and even runs quite well under WINE. The only times it ever crashed and corrupted my WADs were when I edited text lumps, but even that hasn't been happening lately.

I never could stand using SlumpEd, but that's because I mostly make character WADs, so using it is a major inconvenience at times. It doesn't auto-align sprites, some lumps have to be renamed to lowercase before you save the WAD, graphics aren't automatically converted to the DooM format and palette, etc.

SRB2 Doom Builder is by far the best level maker. XWE is better in general than SLumpEd because of its vast array of features, but SLumpEd produces a more stable environment for WAD making. I strongly suggest you get all three. Always use SRB2DB for making levels. When you want to make a character, use XWE as much as possible, but if the program is acting up, switch to SLumpEd for a bit.
