whatthe.zip
By Guest
This wad is has a strange bug. I believe it is caused by a floating sector -- which happens when you delete the lineDefs and vertices, but don't delete the sector that goes with them. I really don't know why it happens at a certain point or anything else about it. It's a new Doom mystery.
Anyway, what you should look for comes after the lift (there's only one). Do 'IDFA' so you have all the weapons and then fire a rocket against the wall, it won't hurt... nothing will. IDDQD is not set, but you are still unhurtable. Not only that, but the rocket blast does'nt even move you back... it has no effect on you. If you step back on to the lift, it will go back to normal. Strange!
To top that off, check out the monster activity. I added a couple of them so you can see what's going on. They refuse to mess with you. It's very weird. They seem to be blind. You can walk right up to their face, and they don't even flinch. But shoot and they come to life -- yet they still won't hurt you.
This file comes from a level I created, Fate02.wad. So the same things apply as with all other levels people make:10 downloads

weird.zip
By Guest
While fooling around with RMB to try to make a sector where a player can't see another player, I came across something odd. As you see in this .LMP I'm supposed to be dead after I hit the guy in the distance. Maybe it has something to do with distance. Bug??? I don't know and I don't care, just thought you'd like to see it.9 downloads

The Unofficial Doom Specs Release v1.666
By Guest
This document explains in great detail nearly all aspects of the doom WAD file format. And a new chapter (10) documents the location of data within DOOM.EXE itself, so that various unusual game-play changes can be made. This information has been updated to apply to DOOM 2 as well as DOOM 1.
The specs were originally conceived as an aid to programmers making DOOM utilities, especially map-editors. Coincidentally, there might also be information useful to advanced level designers and players.71 downloads

WAD Template v2.0
By Guest
WAD Template v2.0 is a template that should be used and accompany any DOOM or DOOM II type file, especially WADS. This was re-edited from "WAD_AUTH.TXT" v1.2. I do not know who was the original author/designer of this file which has found it's way to 100's of DOOM & DOOM II WADS, but he/she deserves credit.137 downloads

DEATHMATCH LEVEL DESIGN GUIDELINES v. 1.0
By Guest
'DMLDGL10.ZIP', uploaded to 'infant2.sphs.indiana.edu' in the '/pub/doom/incoming' directory contains my thoughts and recommendations on implementing DEATHMATCH-specific DOOM levels. It is the result of taking detailed notes on DEATHMATCH design issues both as a player and as a WAD-designer.
The rules governing DEATHMATCH play (with '-RESPAWN', without '-RESPAWN', and '-ALTDEATH') are briefly discussed, as well as their effects on the way levels may be built and populated to accommodate them.17 downloads

The Wad Itinerary, Doom Description List Endeavor
By Guest
I've been working on this list for quite some time. The original reason I started it, was so that when finished, it could help me do the Barney Doom patch a bit. Due to time constraints, and an utterly annoying thing called classwork, I haven't been able to spend much time on Barney Doom.
I do hope, however, that this list comes in handy for all you patch creators out there!12 downloads

WIF: A Standard for Text-Based Interchange of DOOM WAD Files
By Guest
This is the first stab at a formal specification for a text-based WAD interchange format. It starts where id's DWD leaves off, and hopefully has plenty of room for the things WAD editor writers want.
WADs written in this way could be uploaded to the Net without loss of data, merged together in interesting ways, manipulated by a broader range of processing programs (like an ordinary text editor), and commented in-WAD much more fully than is possible today.
I urge all interested parties to read this over and send me any comments you might have.
By the way, if 12 pages seems like a lot for a simple little spec, it's because this is intended to nail it down definitively, so that even if we all go off and do other things, a WAD author three years from now could look and say, That's compliant or that's not. This is how Internet RFC's work, and that's what this WIF spec is patterned after.11 downloads

texpatch.zip
By Guest
Texpatch.txt is a file containing the wall textures, as found in the Doom levels, and which patch textures they are composed of. This makes it MUCH easier to find out what to change with dmgraph or similar programs! Simply look in the list to find the required patches, and change them.10 downloads
