Anderson (aka Dr Sleep) Complete illustrated guide to making DOOM levels with WinDEU v5.24, the Windows DOOM level editor written by Renaud Paquays and based on DEU 5.21 by Raphael Quinet. This guide also works for DEU v5.xx or DETH v3.xx-4.xx, since the functions are nearly identical (with the exception of right-click which is absent in the DOS editor). The guide has step-by-step snapshots of a level in progress in WinDEU, so you can follow the illustrations as you go along. The WinDEU interface is explained, as well as configuring WinDEU to edit either DOOM or DOOM II. The appendices included are Appendix A - WinDEU's Hot Keys Appendix B - DOOM Metrics by Scott Amspoker Appendix C - WAD Author's DOOM Reference by Jim Flynn Appendix D - WAD Authoring Template Appendix E - How To Play Add On Levels in DOOM The WAD Author's DOOM Reference includes the LineDef Type Action Reference which lists all the different actions LineDefs perform in a level (open door, raise floor, lower lift, etc.), as well as Special Sector Types by Function and Number, and Thing Types by Class and Number.
