Init of the game, text screen - What is it ?!?

What is it ?!?
I have it when I play Ultimate Doom

You either are loading or autoloading some PWADS that don't like the texture patch lumps that Ultimate Doom gives (or lack of in any case), or you have a corrupt copy of Ultimate Doom.

I have a buyed version of the whole episodes!!!

And I'm disgusted, because it seems to me that my CDs were lost during my last trip toward Manaus...

I can't find them anymore.

At that time, I scanned my CDs for my site DLW, telling to my users to BUY the CD and to don't rob it...

Oh, maybe I'm wrong then. Sorry. *quickly retreats to my corner*

OK, here's my guess... You are autoloading a file that defines splashes for certain terrains. You'll notice that the ones listed are all Doom2 flats and (from memory) could be the kind of flats likely to have a puff of smoke or a splash allocated to them via the terrain lump.

If this is the case, it's utterly harmless. All it is telling you is that flats listed in the terrain lump do not exist in the game - and that's because you are loading it with Doom.wad and not Doom2.wad. However, that should not cause a problem and any Doom flats that have been listed in the terrain lump will work normally - the extras are, AFAIK, just ignored.

It's because I'm serious and because I'm honest that I have all the keys of the site DoomWadStation.com, and of all of the hosted sites... I could even delete everything if it was my will...

So, yes, I bought Doom, Doom2, Heretic, Hexen, and Final Doom, and I hate robbers and men of wrong will.
I made a donation of 50 $ to Pascal for his Doom Builder, and I bought WinZip, and EditPad, and IrfanView (I made a donation of 20 $), tool used for Doom's activity.
When I want something, I buy it, then I give the fruit of my work, for free.

This for the only purpose to make the things being very clear, for everyone.
Peace!

Oh, Enjay, I understand everything now, thanks to you!

I'll take a look at it as soon as I'll have had my lunch.

Yeah, as was said, you can just ignore those complaints. It's harmless. Or you can use Slumped to copy the "missing" flats from Doom2.wad to Splash4.wad, between FF_BEGIN and FF_END markers. That way, the flats will always be known and the warnings will vanish, even when playing Ultimate Doom.

PS: "To buy" is an irregular verb in English, the past form is "bought" not "buyed".

Just as long as you load it before any additional WADs that might try to add alternative versions of those flats to Doom (as unlikely as that may be).

If I'm not mistaken, GZDoom load order is zdoom.pk3, IWAD, autoloaded stuff, everything else that it's told to load. So when playing a mod that changes those flats, a Splash4.wad in the autoload shouldn't provoke any problem.

Finally, someone friendly enough to help me to make progress !!!!!!!!!!
I asked so many time to give me, from time to time, advices like this one... Nobody helped me, NOBODY !!!

And I hate to make faults. I know my own language more than necessary, and I can't accept to be ridiculous because I'm not that good in English.

Thank you my friend !!

Using KDX, the King Doom launcher, it's very easy to solve this kind of problem: I can select if I want to load a pwad before or after the main pwad, replacing or not the entries of this pwad.

I asked this option to King Elvis, when we were developing this tool (KDX), because I had the desire to don't replace any entry of a pwad without being advised of this replacement, made out of my will, with my addons (like Wads1or2.wad, or wads1to2.wad)

Possible alternative.

I have asked so many times for someone to give me help like this from time to time. Nobody has helped me, NOBODY!

And I hate to make mistakes. I know my own language well and I don't like sounding silly because I'm not very good at English.

Of course, with English being a wonderfully complex language, with many alternatives for most words, it could easily be phrased differently. At least the grammar is now more like that of a native speaker.

Oi. English is my primary language, and I'm not as skilled with it as I should be. So I can't help you much there, sorry.
