In all the official (ie not pirated) Master Levels releases (with the exception of the PSN version, which can only be attained through either piracy or a great deal of technical effort), the Master Levels are 20 separate WAD files. I always assumed that people running WadSmoosh had legit copies, and I don't support the masterlevels.wad version.

There are two maps included in TEETH.WAD, MAP31 (the express elevator to hell) and MAP32 (bad dream). So WadSmoosh is probably croaking on your handmade version of TEETH.WAD because it doesn't have a MAP32. Though I can't guarantee it won't complain about other stuff if your WADs are all manually extracted from some unsupported thing.

Edit: It also looks like your version of doom.wad doesn't have Episode 4. If you don't actually care about having it in the episode list, you can ignore those errors.

It looks like I'll have to get an official copy then. I tried extracting TEETH.wad to see whether it contained multiple maps, and strangely enough, each time I extracted it it just gave another TEETH.wad.

I do have episode 4, since it's included in doomu.wad (The Ultimate DOOM).

Edit: Alright, so I got an official copy - it works fine now. Only problem is that the menu uses the DOOM II background image and music, but I'd rather have the background and music from the first game. Is there any way to fix this?

That's a known issue with the current version of WadSmoosh, I need to figure out how to properly support the widescreen graphics that are now included with GZDoom. In the meantime, I'd suggest just replacing the graphic in the pk3, and editing the GameInfo section of the pk3's mapinfo.txt to use a different TitleMusic.

Thanks, how can I edit the pk3 file?

Edit: Alright I've been looking around the pk3 in SLADE, but I can't find what I have to actually edit

In the top level of the PK3's hierarchy, look for the file called "mapinfo.txt". You should be able to edit it right in SLADE. Look for the line in the GameInfo block called TitleMusic. Replace "$MUSIC_DM2TTL" there with whatever music track you want. ($MUSIC_DM2TTL is a localized string but everything after the underscore should correspond with the name of a music lump you can see in the vanilla IWADs.
