B y DeeP Editing Help
Use the bmouse or the bcursor keys to move around.
The map scrolls when the pointer reaches the edges
of the screen.
a w Map Scroll Limits
The maximum scroll in any direction is slightly
less than the "edge" of the map in that direction.
This "brick" wall prevents the map from flying off
your screen.
If you are making a very large area, reduce the
zoom or extend the area after you make it as large
as you can. The new area automatically extends the
scroll limits, so you can make it bigger again.
If you scroll to the edge and magnify with Auto
Center turned off, you may loose sight of the map!
Turn Auto Center back on, and zoom +/- to get
your bearings again.

The default drive:\path\filename is the directory
set by the bpatch option + b*.WAD .
If you do not have a bpatch entry, your current

An easy way to temporarily override the bpatch
path and view the files in your current directory
is: bC:somewad.wad
This displays the files in the current directory
without entering the complete path.
bC: can be any drive of course.
The search syntax is similar to the DOS DIR
command with defaults especially suited for WAD
file names. The filename portion can contain
wildcard match characters (? and *). If no suffix
is entered, *.WAD is automatically appended to
the name.

y xG [roup] B<wadfile>
p yRegistered only
Group all patch wads together in one file. When
you BRead in more than one PWAD file, you can
combine them into one big PWAD. This way you can
combine all your favorite levels into 1 file that
contains all of them.
Example : You have created 3 levels called
SLIDE11.WAD, STORM12.WAD and GLORY13.WAD some
time in the past (ok, you spent the last 4 week-
ends making them).
1. BR SLIDE11.WAD
2. BR STORM12.WAD
3. BR GLORY13.WAD
4. BG MIXEDBAG.WAD (you're done)
To replace levels in a Bgrouped PWAD, read the
grouped PWAD (the levels it contains are shown),
edit the levels you want to change and save each
one changed as individual files (the way you
created them to start with). The same original
name can be used.
Example : Assume you read MIXEDBAG.WAD and
change SLIDE11.MAP (level = MAP11).
1. BE 11 make the changes desired.
2. Save the level as SLIDE11.WAD (any name you
like of course).
3. BG MIXEDBAG.WAD and now you're done!
Group reads the information in the files, not
what's in memory. That's why you have to save
them again (not a bad idea if you changed the
levels to keep from getting confused, we do).
All levels that do not belong to the Master WAD
file are written to the bwadfile selected.
y bSave modified level(s) with their own names
before you group all the levels!.

B y Note/Definitions
b y
y rdirname
The names in the WAD file are in a "directory". Each
level is assigned a name, for example, E1M1 is the
first level in DOOM and MAP01 is the first level
in DOOM II. Pictures, sound, and level entries are
more examples of directory entry names.
The dirname when listing directories can have b* and
b? characters similar to the DOS DIR command.
Examples:
gDIRA MAP1* , lists all entries starting with MAP1
and the rest doesn't matter.
gDIRA E1?3 , lists all entries starting with E1,
the 3rd position doesn't matter and the fourth
location must be a 3.
y rOutfile
Directs output to the devices of your choice. The
default (or *) is the screen. For example, PRN,
represents output to the printer attached to the
parallel port. Similarly, if you enter MYFILE.DAT,
the file MYFILE.DAT is created.
y rwadnumber
The number (not name) of the PWAD file. The first
one read is 1, the 2nd 2, ...you get the idea. It
is possible that the numbers will change if you
replace the same level with different PWADS.
Use the Wad command to see the numbers assigned.
Enter b* for outfile to keep output on the screen
and then enter the bwadnumber .
Example: gDIRW * * 2 lists all entries in the
2nd PWAD file.
For repetitive commands to the same wadnumber,
you do not have to enter the wadnumber again.
Example: gDIRW MAP* , lists all entries in the
second PWAD file, if the prior example was first.
p y
p y WAD file description
p y
DOOM store its information about each of the levels
yin rWAD files. DeeP edits these files.
There are two types of WAD files.
y rIWAD File
The main file, DOOMx.WAD, contains all the infor-
mation about the graphics, sound, level maps, etc.
for the game. This file is an bIWAD file. There
is one IWAD file called DOOM.WAD or DOOM2.WAD.
It is in the current directory when DOOM is run.
y rPWAD File
DOOM supports additional files that bpatch the
IWAD file, hence PWAD. It contains updates for the
IWAD file.
PWAD files created by DeeP contain an updated map
of a game level. PWAD files can be called anything,
but it's nice to call them bsomelvl.WAD where
somelvl is any name you like.
DOOM must be told to load a PWAD file. The -FILE
parameter does this. It is added after you type
yDOOM. Example : bDOOM -file myown.wad.
p y What makes up a Level
The best way to learn the details that follow is to
play a level, see what happens and then examine the
level with DeeP. Start with the first level and
work your way up. There's a lot of information, but
each step if pretty simple. Learn from other levels
the "tricks" used to get those spectacular scenes.
It helps to use the Grid when designing a level. The
Grid makes it easy to align everything and maintains
the sizes that work best for wall and ceiling
textures (explained later).
A level is created from smaller components, much
like a house is built from 2x4's, nails and siding.
Here's the names of the parts you will be using.
The five components are Vertices, LineDefs, SideDefs,
Sectors and Things.
y rVertices
Vertices are x,y coordinates on a map. DOOM maps are
2 dimensional. The height comes from Sectors, as you
will see soon.
Vertices are used as the starting and ending points
of LineDefs (next). These are the bdots on the map
in Vertex mode.
y rLineDefs
LineDefs are the lines in the map. These lines
define the borders of a Sector or the location of a
trigger that you walk across.
Bear with me a bit on Sectors. For now think of a
Sector as the room or area where you are fighting
for your life. A more precise definition about
Sectors is later, so keep on going and come back
and review this area again. I think it will be
clearer the 2nd time (if you didn't get stuffed
by the monsters).
Each LineDef has a starting vertex and ending
vertex. This is similar to putting two dots on a
piece of paper and connecting them to draw a line.
These lines end up being walls you see in the game.
The walls have at least one side and to be seen,
require a texture graphic.
Transparent LineDefs do not need any texture, since
they are invisible. A common use is for a btrigger
activated when you walk across the LineDef. A trans-
parent LineDefs has a texture of b- , which is none.
A btrigger causes Sector(s) assigned to it to move
up or down according to the type of LineDef. These
cause the special effects as you blunder into
things.
It may help to stop here and edit a level, mess
around with the different modes and see all the
possibilities. The first level is suggested, since
it doesn't have as many things going on and is easy
to test since it's the first level.
If the wall can be viewed from both sides we need to
describe the second side also (for example, a door).
yThese sides are called rSideDefs. The first side
is called SideDef1 and the second SideDef2 (isn't
this amazing). The SideDef1 side of the LineDef is
the side with the line sticking out of it in LineDef
edit mode.
b y All LineDefs go the same Direction
The line sticking out from the side, should be the
same for all the LineDefs. Normally the arrows point
in the clockwise direction for rooms and the
opposite for an object in a room (see stair help).
y rSideDefs
A LineDef must have at least one SideDef. The
SideDefs define the wall textures (the way the wall
looks).
An enclosed set of LineDefs (and the SideDefs)
defines a Sector.
There are three possible texture locations for a
SideDef: bupper, normal and lower , representing
what you see above, straight ahead and below your
field of view. The upper and lower textures are
used when the floor and ceiling vary in height
between different Sectors/rooms.
bUpper Texture : Texture you can see above the
ceiling of a Sector.
bNormal Texture : Texture you see between the ceiling
and floor of a Sector.
bLower Texture : Texture you can see below the floor
of a Sector.
If everything was the same height, you would only
need normal (a boring level, yes?)
y rSectors
A Sector is made up of 3 or more LineDefs that all
connect together to form an enclosed area. A Sector
is similar to a room or an area within a room.
Sectors determine the ceiling and floor height and
the ceiling and floor textures (the last part to get
the 3D look of a level).
A Sector adds the depth to the LineDef/SideDef
connections. A Sector can be shared by many LineDefs
that form independent areas, lending the same
floor/ceiling heights and textures to those areas.
So don't think of a Sector as being the actual room
(sorry about their choice of words) since it can
describe many rooms and areas. When you see more
than one area "light" up in Sector edit mode, it
signifies the same sector is used to describe the
highlighted LineDefs.
Sharing Sectors is a good way to speed up the game
by limiting the work required by DOOM to calculate
where you are (going).
Special Sector information (damage/secret?) is also
available.
Sectors are the only structure that move UP/DOWN in
DOOM. Lifts, Staircases, Doors, are all specially
defined Sectors.
y rThings
Things are the objects that lend the final touch to
a level.
Weapons, enemies, ammo, keys and decorations are
visible Things. The places where players start the
game and Teleport landings are also called things.
p y HOM errors
Hall of Mirror errors are what you get when some-
thing is messed up in your level. It looks like
you're replicated a zillion times and the world
won't stop turning.
We didn't invent this cute name. Matt Fell, the
author of the unofficial DOOM specs mentions it.
(Review his document for technical information.)
Here are some common causes for HOM:
1. You forgot a texture (easy to fix)
2. A node building error (rearrange the area).
3. DOOM has an error (especially DOOM, see stairs).
p y Object Colors
When an object is selected it will change color and
the object select count (upper right top line) is
increased by one. Use this to keep track of your
work.
Things with the same color are all the same type.
Linedefs of different colors signify tags and
possible texture problems. Look at the information
displayed on the bottom texture boxes to tell.
All the same Sectors will turn Yellow, so you can
readily spot where they are used. Red indicates an
Tagged Sector/LineDef relation or an error in the
Sidedef where it appears.

This clears all prior PWAD file information.
See automatic restart options under Edit.
y b-bgi driver
Set the default video driver (*.BGI file). You
should only have to do this if you have a non-
VESA video BIOS and/or have a newer driver for
your video board.
Use the name bVGAONLY for normal VGA, that
is, use this if you can't run the default VESA
SVGA.
ALL of the colors can't be displayed in VGA, so
the textures look weird.
y b-config name
New name of the config file (DeeP.INI). This is
handy to keep preconfigured options that you
switch between often.
If you have both DOOM and DOOM II, create a
batch file for each version using different
config files pointing to a different DOOM main
wad file. This reduces disk space requirements.
If you use only one copy of DeeP to edit both
DOOM and DOOM II, the last files you were
editing might be for the wrong version. If you
did not want that to happen, use the -n option
to clear the status of all saved files. (This
will not occur if you run DeeP from different
directories.)
In one batch file you might enter:
bDeeP -config DeeP.ini (for DOOM) and then
bDeeP -config DeeP2.ini (for DOOM II)
Each time you change the name of the DeeP.INI
file, it is saved in DeeP.CFG. Thus if you
start DeeP and do not override with a -config
command, the last name you used is automatic-
ally read. Remember this when you use batch
files to edit both DOOM and DOOM II levels and
you then directly run DeeP, bypassing your
batch files.
y b-f (file) file1.wad file2.wad ...
Add patch wad files to be loaded. If no path
is specified, a path is added (see PATCH).
The b.wad extension is automatically added
if no b. is used. (This also erases all prior
saved PWAD information.)
We may get rid of this option, since it is no
longer as useful with the new save options.
y b-fc (fakecursor)
Use fake crosshair mouse cursor. If you don't
have a mouse and you have a non-VESA BIOS.
y b-fm (fakemouse)
Use fake mouse type cursor. Select if you do
not have a mouse, but do have a VESA BIOS.
y b-h (help) C:\doom2\deep.hlp
Name/location of the DeeP.HLP file. Default is
DeeP.HLP in the current directory.
y b-m (main) C:\DOOM2\DOOM2.WAD
Name/location of the main IWAD file. This
file determines DOOM or DOOM II support.
This path also determines the location of
DOOM(2).exe when testing a level.
y b-p (patch)
Patch file default directory for reading
patch PWAD files (C:\Doom). Default is
current directory. This directory name is
automatically added to any file name if
you do not supply one.
y b-v # (video)
Set the default video mode number (resolution).
Experiment with this to see if your monitor is
readable at higher resolutions ( 800x600 looks
nice on many 15" monitors ).
x yA r'+' ybefore the options reverses on/off options.

||SAVE
//-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B y File [Alt-F]
y bSave
Save the level as a PWAD file. Enter the name
of the file, including the complete path. If
no path is given, the file is stored in your
current directory. Press Esc or Cancel to not
do anything.
If a file already exists with the same save
name it is renamed with the .BAK extension.
DeePbsp should be run if you have changed any
of the map's geometry. You can ignore this if
you do not intend to play right now, but want
to go to bed (it is late).
p yThe Shareware version saves up to 2 files.
with different names. The .BAK name counts as
a name. If you read in 2 levels and save using
a different name, the maximum is exceeded.
p yThe Registered version saves up to 32 files.
p yClear the REJECTS
If you do not clear them, the existing REJECT
information is copied. This is OK for slight
tinkering with existing DOOM levels, but not
recommended for big changes.
The REJECTS are not always cleared to give you
freedom to experiment easier. (DeePbsp also
only copies REJECT data.)
We haven't verified the current information on
REJECTS (too busy getting all this together),
but know that there's more to it.
We have cleared the REJECT information on some
existing levels and they quit working, with
lots of Hall of Mirror ( bHOM ) errors! Not
exactly what you are led to believe by the
information we read!
When we rebuilt the level with DeePbsp, it all
worked again (with a cleared REJECT), leading
us to suspect that perhaps the REJECT is a
workaround for their own node builder errors?
p yDeePbsp will work on any PWAD file, just
remember that it bdoes not clear the REJECT.
DeePbsp will fix many levels built by other
node builders that have bHOM errors.
It is almost 100 percent reliable.
Some errors we've had in the past, turned out
to be DOOM coding errors (such as exceeding
the number of visible Sidedefs). Even DOOM II
will get the message "exceeded number of
visible planes" (or something like that) for
some monster levels we've built.
Reduce the number of Linedefs and simplify the
area if you run into bHOM errors.
Use the Grid feature when possible to minimize
problems.
y bSave As ExMx
Save the level with a different level number.
Select the level and the rest is the same as
above.
y bBuildNode
Save the level and always rebuild nodes.
y bBuildNodeAs
Save the level with a different level number
and always rebuild nodes.
y bTest Level
p yRegistered only
Load DOOM(II) and play a level you have saved.
The parameters -devparm -file yourfile.wad
-warp xx are automatically created. You may
enter up to 60 additinional characters.
Enter or change the DOOM(II) options to what
you normally use. These are saved for the
next time.
We do not have any systems with only 4MB but
it should work ok, since only about 7kb is
taken.
Upon exit, you return to DeeP and everything
is restarted if you set the option to reload.
(see Edit help)
y bEdit Level
Select a different existing level to edit.
y bNew Level
Erases all information so you can create a
level from scratch.
y bReset Level
Erases all PWAD information and resets all
levels to the main IWAD.
y bPrint
p yRegistered only
Print the level to printer or a file (see
below).
y beXit
Exit the editor. Prompts to Save the file if
changes have been made.
y b Printing Maps
The map printed is exactly the same as
currently displayed on the screen. So if
you zoom, you get the zoomed version,
scroll right and you get the section
shown.
All maps print the level as shown on the
screen with three variations. Each type
is automatically selected by the edit mode
(Things, LineDefs, Sectors).
y bThing mode : Things are shown with an X on
the map.
y bLinedef mode : Two-sided LineDefs are printed
darker.
y bSector mode : Just the map.
If the grid is turned on, it is superimposed
as dotted lines over the map at the grid size
active.
y bPrint Operation
If you have an HP printer that supports the
HPGL language, you can print directly to the
printer. If the printer prints characters and
numbers(e.g.,PD12,55), the printer does not
support HPGL.
If your printer doesn't work directly, chose
a file for output. Then import it into Word
for Windows as an HPGL (.HGL) graphics file.
Set the page to landscape and maximize the
margins. Use insert picture to put the map
in a word document, importing as HPGL of
course.
You can then print the file from Word,using
Windows' print drivers for your printer.
You need Word's graphic import filter for
.HGL installed (one of the options on Word
setup 6.0a graphic filters). Download an
upgrade for FREE from Microsoft if you
have 6.0. (See the About Screen for the
version).
This has been tested with Word 6.0a. Corel
PhotoPaint can also import it, but it's pretty
lousy. If you know of others, let us know and
we'll include it here.
On some computers, you may get an error after
printing for a while. The message is out of
our control, just reply Y to retry. If you
are out of paper, put some more paper in!
We can't control this right now, it's a dumb
compiler problem, it won't tell us there is
problem with printer!

||EDIT
//-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B y Edit [Alt-E]
y bCopy Object(s) (O)
Used to copy (groups of) Things, vertices,
LineDefs and SideDefs, or Sectors.
After pressing bO move the copy to the
location desired by pressing the Right
mouse button and moving the cursor. When
the Right button is released, the objects
are moved.
The same objects can be move again. Press
bC to clear the selection.
While dragging, you can also press Esc to
clear them all. This also cancels the drag.
The copied objects still exist. You can't
see them because they are on top of one
another!
y bAdd Object (Same as bIns key)
Be careful to not insert multiple Sectors at
the same location! The check will catch this
as Sector not closed messages, but it will
not be obvious to you.
New Sectors use the default values you set
in Texture defaults.
y rIns Vertex mode
This creates the LineDefs/SideDefs/Sectors
for a level. Insert Mode continues until
you stop it with the Right Mouse button (the
normal method), press the bEnd key, press bC
or press bEsc .
SideDefs and Sectors are automatically created
if Auto Insert Sector is turned on in Options.
There are two variations in Vertex mode:
b1 . If 1 or no vertex is selected, press the
Left mouse button to create Vertices/Line-
Defs.
if 1 vertex is selected, the next vertex
is automatically connected to the one
selected. Use this method to connect
multiple areas.
Each time the Left button is pressed a
Vertex and a LineDef is created (if you
have 2 or more vertices).
a w Joining Areas
If you are joining areas, move the cursor
over an existing vertex in the area to
join. Make it select (bottom box shows it,
and the vertex lights up/sound) and then
press the left button. The existing vertex
is now selected and joined to the prior
vertex.
If you miss, manually move the vertex by
dragging it on top of the other one (stop
insert mode first by pressing Mouse button
2).
The current grid is used to align vertices.
A grid of 8 is the minimum. Move an
existing vertex to make it line up if you
can't match because the grids misalign it.
b2 . If exactly 2 vertexes are selected, a
new LineDef connecting the two is created.
Insert mode automatically ends.
This is mostly used for odd situations
where you are connecting two separate
areas or you are fixing a mistake.
Press the Right button to stop inserting.
The last two open vertices are connected.
creating the last LineDef to close. The
SideDefs and Sector is automatically created
(unless you turned Auto Insert Sector OFF).
If you do not want the LineDefs closed,
press the bEnd key.
A check is made to see if any obvious overlaps
exist. The check can be turned off in Edit
Options for faster operation.
If you press bC , the command is immediately
stopped and no SideDefs and Sector are
created.
When creating an area, you should end up with
all the LineDefs forming a complete loop. All
the arrows should point the same way.
Rooms go clockwise and objects are formed
counter-clockwise.
Flip the LineDef (F8 Misc menu) to correct any
errors.
LineDefs that do not loop result in Sector not
closed messages. Also LineDefs that butt
heads (they do not all go the same direction)
also cause Sector not closed errors.
If the ends do not touch, use method 2 above
to connect the opening or select one of the
vertices and drag it on top of the other one.
Reply yes to merge them together (works only
if you haven't turned the check off).
If you didn't use Auto Insert Sector, complete
the unfinished area by selecting all the Line-
Defs (or outline a complete bclosed area ).
Then switch to LineDef mode (press bL ) and
press bIns again to create SideDefs and a
Sector for the area just made.
y rIns LineDef mode
In LineDef mode when a group of LineDefs are
selected and you press bIns a new Sector is
created and one SideDef in each LineDef is
bound to this Sector. The edit mode will
switch to editing Sectors.
y rIns Sector mode
Use this only to create a new Sector that you
are going to manually reference with a SideDef.
This is normally done, when you can't change
the existing Sector, since it is shared by
other enclosed areas (you would change all of
them), so a new one is created. The LineDef/
SideDefs involved are manually changed to
point to the new Sector.
y rIns Thing mode
A new Thing matching the current object
selected is created.
y bDelete Object
Same as bDel key. Press the Del key again to
confirm the deletion.
y bClear Selection
Same a pressing C to clear.
a wAll the options below are saved in the file
a wDeeP.Cfg. This file is automatically created
a wthe first time you start DeeP. If this file
a w gets damaged, delete it and restart DeeP!
y bPreferences
Changes the default values for wall, floor,
and ceiling textures, and floor and ceiling
heights.
y bOptions
The following options are toggled as shown:
a wSound Selection Sound when object is
selected.
a wSound Errors Sound when an error occurs.
a wOverLap Check Perform an overlap check
every time vertices move.
Disabling this speeds up edit-
ing large levels at the risk
of missing mistakes you make.
a wSelect Object0 Select object 0 the first
time.
a wAdditive Select Add currently selected
objects to all in the
current select box.
a wAuto Start Automatically restart DeeP
and reload all PWAD active
since the last time. Use -n
to temporarily suppress.
a wAuto Load Automatically reloads the
last PWAD you were editing.
a wGrid Dashed Set grid lines
a wSelect Dashed Set select box lines
a wInfo Objects Display text information
about objects.
( bI toggles).
a wInfo Picture Display textures and things
in picture form.
( bI toggles)
a wAuto Insert Sector Automatically insert
SideDefs and Sectors when you
create LineDefs in Vertex
Mode. If you do not have this
active, create the SideDefs/
Sectors in LineDef mode by
selecting the LineDefs and
pressing the bIns key.
a wThick Lines Increase the line thickness
to 3. Useful when you use
large monitors at high
resolutions or use a white
background.
y bMouse/LineColors
a wMouse The color of the mouse. You
must restart DeeP to see the
change. Since the mouse is
"tranparent" the colors vary
depending on the background
choosen.
a wMouseEdge Select the color of the
mouse edge (note as above).
a wMenuHilite Select the color of the
menu hilighted character(s).
a wDragging The color for dragged
objects.
a wSelect Box The color of the select box.
a wHiLight The color for automatic
hilighting of active objects.
a wInsertVertex The color of lines inserted.
a wGrid The grid color.
a wRuler The ruler color.
a w2-Sided LineDef The color of 2-sided LineDefs.
a w1-Sided LineDef The color of 1-sided LineDefs.
a wBackGround The screen background color.
If you change the background color, be sure to
change the color of the LineDefs so they show
up (and any others as appropriate). For
example if you make the background white, then
the 1-sided should be black and the 2-sided
darkgray.
y bPalette Colors
Select and set the color value for the 16
primary color selections. This changes the
values available in Mouse/Line Colors above.
It also changes those not directly set any-
where else. If you get lost, delete DeeP.CFG
and start over or use the following settings:

B yMiscellaneous [Alt-I]
The options available vary according to
the editing mode. The first option is the
same for all editing modes.
y1. bFind First Free Tag
Locates the first tag number that has not
yet been used in this map.
The rest of the options vary by mode as
follows:
b yThings Mode
y2. b Rotate and Scale Thing(s)
Move marked Things by the degree of rota-
tion and a percentage scale. Use this to
rearrange Things by spinning them around
(change rotation angle) or moving them
closer to each other (scale < 100%) or
further apart (scale > 100%).
b yVertices Mode
y2. b Rotate and Scale Vertices
Move marked vertices by the degree of rota-
tion and a percentage scale. Use this to
rearrange vertices by spinning them around
(change rotation angle) or moving them
closer to each other (scale < 100%) or
further apart (scale > 100%).
y3. b Delete Vertex and join Linedef(s)
Deletes the marked vertex and joins Line-
def(s) that were previously connected to
the vertex.
y4. b Merge several vertices into one
Same as #3 above, with multiple vertices.
y5. b Add linedef & Split Sector
You must mark exactly TWO vertices from
the SAME Sector before calling this
command. This adds a linedef and a new
Sector.
b yLineDefs & SideDefs Mode
y2. b Rotate and Scale LineDefs
Move marked LineDefs by the degree of rota-
tion and a percentage scale. Use this to
rearrange LineDefs by spinning them around
(change rotation angle) or moving them
closer to each other (scale < 100%) or fur-
ther apart (scale > 100%).
y3. b Split LineDef (add new Vertex)
Splits the selected linedef(s).
y4. b Split LineDefs and Sector
Splits the selected LineDefs by adding
a vertex at the midpoint, connecting the
new vertices with a linedef which divides
the original Sector.
y5. b Delete LineDefs and join Sectors
Removes the selected two-sided linedef(s)
that divide Sectors and makes them into
a single Sector.
y6. b Flip Linedef
Flips the linedef(s) start and endpoints,
thus reversing the side of the 1st and 2nd
SideDefs.
y7. b Swap Sidedef
Swaps the Sectors of sidedef(s) 1 and 2.
y8. b Align Textures (Y offset)
Align the textures on the Y offset. The
first linedef selected is used as the
reference point. This is for Up/Down
alignment.
y9. b Align Textures (X Offset)
This may be used on a group of LineDefs
that follow each other. The first linedef
selected is used as the reference.
This is for left/right alignment.
b ySector Mode
y2. b Rotate and Scale Sectors
Move marked Sectors by the degree of rota-
tion and a percentage scale. Use this to
rearrange Sectors by spinning them around
(change rotation angle) or moving them
closer to each other (scale < 100%) or fur-
ther apart (scale > 100%).
This will NOT move the "Things" in the sec-
tor. After rearranging the Sector, you may
have to go into Things mode and select them
and do the same rotation/adjustment on them.
y3. b Make door from Sector
Select a Sector that is between two other
Sectors and then activate this function.
The LineDefs, Ceiling height, textures,
etc... will be modified accordingly.
y4. b Make lift from Sector
Select the Sector that is to become the
lift and then activate this function. The
LineDefs,textures, etc... will be modified
accordingly.
y5. b Distribute Floor heights
This function takes the difference in floor
heights between the first and last Sector
selected, divide it by the number of sec-
tors in between and then distribute the
result across the floor heights of the in-
between Sectors.
This is useful for setting floor heights on
stairways.
y6. b Distribute Ceiling heights
This function takes the difference in
ceiling heights between the first and last
Sector selected, divide it by the number of
Sectors in between and then distribute the
result across the ceiling heights of the
in-between Sectors.
This is useful for setting ceiling heights
on stairways.

B yObject Insertion [Alt-O]
A rRoom is outside a Sector.
An rObject is inside a Sector.
No part of the created object may cross any
existing lines. After the object is made you
can Drag the object (hold the right mouse
button) to the correct location and release
the button to place it.
Failure to move the object results in Sector
not closed messages.
b yROOM - Outside A Sector
y bInsert a Rectangle
Enter the width and height (length) of the
rectangle and DeeP automatically insert the
vertices, lindefs+SideDefs, and Sector at the
current pointer location.
This is adding a rectangular room.
y bInsert a Polygon (N-sided)
Enter the number of sides and a radius and
DeeP automatically insert the vertices,
LineDefs+SideDefs, and Sector at the current
pointer location.
You can create anything from a triangle to a
32 sided polygon.
This is adding an N-sided room.
b yOBJECT -Inside A Sector
y bInsert a Rectangle
Same as outside a Sector, but first
SideDefs will be set to the Sector they
are contained in. Think of this as
inserting a rectangular pillar.
NOTE: Pressing "Ins" after inserting the
rectangle creates a new Sector inside the
rectangle changes the walls to transparent.
Use this to define a new area inside a
Sector.
y bInsert a Polygon (N-sided)
Also the same as outside a Sector, but the
first SideDefs is set to the Sector they are
contained in. Think of this as inserting an
N-sided pillar.
NOTE: Pressing "Ins" after inserting the
polygon creates a new Sector inside the
polygon changes the walls to transparent.
Use this to define a new area inside
a Sector.
r yStairs are Special
Stairs are always created inside a Sector.
yThe rbottom step connects to this Sector
for reference. You need to complete the
y rtop step by connecting it the Sector
desired.
Switch to Vertex mode and place the last 2
vertexes on the rLinedef desired and
reply yes to the split Linedef message.
You can also do this by dragging the stair on
top of the linedef you want it to connect to.
Finish by changing the linedef just created
by the split to point to the Sector of the
last step ( Sector reference ).

B yCheck [Alt-C]
When using the following diagnostics and an
error is listed, press return to continue
checking or press Esc to select the problem
object.
If you are converting from DOOM II to DOOM,
be sure to replace any incompatible LineDefs!
Use Search to find and decide what will work
almost the same.
y1. bNumber of Objects
Gives a count of all the objects in a level.
The last five are built by the DeePbsp node
builder.
The amount of bytes needed to store the
information in a PWAD file is rounded to
the nearest Kbyte).
y2. bCheck if all Sectors are closed
Test all Sectors and make sure they are
closed. If they are not closed it reports
the number of the unclosed Sector. There are
some circumstances when a Sector is tech-
nically not closed, but if you can never reach
it, no problem occurs. Some DOOM levels,
for example, MAP14, have some of these.
The Sector not closed message can also mean
you have two (or more) Sectors in the same
location. Try deleting one and see if you
still have a Sector showing?
Remember, the final test is playing the level!
If the area not closed causes trouble, you
must fix it.
y3. bCheck cross references
Verify the integrity of the level and help
locate possible problem areas. This helps
locate orphaned SideDefs, etc. It will also
remove extraneous LineDefs if there are two
LineDefs between the same vertices.
y4. bCheck for missing textures
Report any SideDefs that may need to have a
Normal/Upper/or Lower texture defined.
If the texture can never be seen, a missing
texture causes no problems.
y5. bCheck Texture Names
Report any texture names which are not found
in the current DOOM IWAD file. The names are
different for DOOM and DOOM II.
y6. bCheck Thing Names
Report any Thing names which are not found
in the current DOOM IWAD file. The names are
different for DOOM and DOOM II.
y7. bCheck LineDef Types
Report any LineDef types that are not known to
DeeP. Also makes sure Sector tags are present
when required!
A missing Sector tag (tag is 0 and it shouldn't
be) crashes DOOM.
Id could have used this!
p yRegistered DeeP distinquishes between
DOOM and DOOM II LineDefs. A LineDef that does not

monsters and increase the weapons.
Levels designed for death match can also have
different things.
Make monsters deaf so you can sneak up on
them!

B y Object to Edit
y bEdit LineDef
Describes basic rules about the Linedef.
Controls what happens or can happen. The
descriptions are self-explanatory except for
bUnpegged and bSecret .
An bUnpegged texture does not move with a
Sector that moves, it is stationary.
A bSecret (red on the Automap) hides what's
behind it (does not show up on the Automap.
It is not related to the secret areas. Those
are set by the Sector.
y bEdit the 1st SideDef
Set the textures and connects it to a Sector
(for floor/ceiling information).
a yAdd a 1st SideDef
This appears (instead of Edit) if no Sidedef1
exists for the Linedef. A Sidedef1 must exist!
y bEdit the 2nd SideDef
Set the textures and connects it to a Sector
(for floor/ceiling information).
a yAdd a 2nd SideDef
This appears (instead of Edit) if no Sidedef2
exists for the Linedef. A Sidedef2 is
optional.
a ySector Tag
A Sector Tag is a number that connects a
LineDef to a Sector with the same Tag number.
For example, a door with a switch has a Line-
Def (type = Switch Door) and a Sector with the
same Tag number. This causes the assigned
Sector to move (and not some other Sector).
More than one Sector can have the same Tag
number, they will all move at the same time!
a y1st SideDef ref
a y2nd SideDef ref
Normally you shouldn't have to use this. It
gives you the ability to manually fix SideDef
references (how did they get bad?).

y bLight Level
Determines how much light there is. 0 is dark,
255 is full on.
y bType
Describe how the sector behaves. Here's where
you can set the Secret attribute.
y bLineDef Tag
This ties the sector (and how it behaves) to a
Linedef with the same Tag number. A number
here, implies a LineDef with the same number.
DOOM will crash if you forget to tie the Tags
together!
In Sector mode, the Tagged LineDef is rRed and
in LineDef mode the Tagged Sector is rRed .
