deep Posted September 23, 2001 It doesn't matter if the header is PWAD or IWAD for the main game WAD, either one works using DOOM2. I previously knew this to be true for some ports I've tried but never bothered to check with the original game. As a footnote, the patch SW18_7 is being inserted twice in the FREEDOOM wad. 0 Share this post Link to post
geekmarine Posted September 23, 2001 You know, I don't really think it matters whether PWAD would work for the original game, since I've noticed that most of the levels were designed to work with Boom anyways. Of course, I still don't understand what the problem is with releasing an IWAD, it's just one byte's difference between the two. Oh well, now that we know it doesn't really even matter... 0 Share this post Link to post
cph Posted September 23, 2001 It's not true of PrBoom, nor of Boom I believe. CheckIWAD: IWAD tag /home/cph/doom/wads/mm/mm.wad not present 0 Share this post Link to post
