Title:	Realistic proportions
Filename:	utils/exe_edit/patches/realprop.zip
Size:	2.07 KB
Date:	10/11/16
Author:	Eevee (Lexy Munroe)
Description:	In the Doom Bible, Tom Hall implies that Wolfenstein (and, presumably, Doom) have a scale of 16 units to 1 real-world foot. Doomguy is thus three and a half feet tall. This small mod corrects that error, enlarging Doomguy to a more appropriate 96 units, or six feet.
Credits:
Base:	New from scratch
Build time:	5 minutes
Editor(s) used:	SLADE 3
Bugs:	Monsters will generally aim at your knees. Melee attacks are somewhat more difficult. Playing with this mod will also reveal numerous bugs in the stock levels: they are much too short for a human of normal stature. I strongly recommend binding a key to crouch. Or perhaps to crouch toggle.

Doomkid	rofl what the hell	x
joe-ilya	What's the point of this if this just bugs the game even more?	x
bzzrak	Tom Hall was implying that Doomguy is 4 years old, I thought that's become common knowledge. Anyway, nice mod.	x
