Any tries to help is appreciated and thx on forehand :D!

stick it between F_START and F_END

As said, F_* and FF_* should work.

*Start, End

no matter how much I read on zdoom wiki.

Read more.

I read the zdoom wiki page multile times :V
also I forgot to write that I want it in a pk3, so I have my flat in a flats folder and my textures file outside that

If your flats are in a flats/ folder, you're done. You don't need a TEXTURES lump for them.

maybe I'm the only one WHO can't load it proberly in GZDB then?

EDIT: somewhy it decides it want to Work in the F_start and F_end markers in the wad archive, but not as PK3, makes no sence what se ever

Rename the "TELEPADS" folder inside your pk3 to "flats".

Because PK3's are no more than renamed ZIP's which support all the functions you expect from modern file systems. Contents, folder and files alike, are automatically loaded alphabetically and per location, then filetype. Same with PK7, though those are renamed 7Zip's. (better compression)

WADS follow a strict load lump order as designated by the file's creator, does not support folders or filetype names and as such needs dumb lumps (*_start, *_end) to designate where certain types of files (sounds, sprites, textures, etc) are located - usually in groups as to be convenient.

And furthermore, you only use the textures lump if you need to change or composite textures at runtime. (in-engine scaling, rotating, special repeating, offsets)

It is entirely not needed for what you're appearing to be trying to do with it, and in fact may cause issues.
Delete it, and as instructed, rename the folder.


And for the love of cripes, improve your english.

You can break down your .pk3 into seperate wad files instead of folders, honeybooboo.
