Description : This is yet more stuff that arose during the
design of The Butchery but was mostly not used for
it. It is a set of BMP files containing 32x64 or
64x64 panels that cross-product various DOOM
texture designs across other backgrounds in DOOM
than the ones they were designed for.
For example, the pipework in TEKGREN4 and METAL4
doesn't have a COMP variant, so I made one. I then
split it into top and bottom sections so that
several variations were possible, in particular I
could have created 128 or 256-wide textures or
wall patches in various combinations.
The total number of combinations is HUGE, so I
decided to release these only as individual parts
and let people make their own as needed from them.
Important note : The archive is only about 1.5MB, but the on-disk
size of the extracted files will be between 10 and 15
MB, depending on the file system of your computer.
Those graphics which are entirely filled with cyan
(0,255,255) are there as placeholders and can be
deleted; however, they are useful for making the
thumbnail display (in applications such as ThumbsPlus
and IrfanView) easier to read.
Additional Credits To : The Usual (iD)
Reason for existence : These were originally part of the (at time of
writing) unfinished WAD The Butchery, but were
considered useful enough to release on their own;
Butchery does not use them all, so downloading it
alone would not get you the full set.
