Laz Rojas' WolfenDoom for ZDoom [v1.32]

[Shane]

Dude. Thanks for these. I did something similar years ago, but never felt it was good enough for release. I'm gonna give yours a go right now!

[Kroc]

NB: Spear of Destiny Revisited has had a Special Edition release to fix it up further -- viewtopic.php?f=19&t=58269

Now I'm reminded of this thread, I'm going to look into a PortaDOOM package just for WolfenDOOM releases -- this thread was the reason why I started developing PortaDOOM in the first place, to solve the issue of getting any kind of WAD to run easily.

Huh. All this time I thought it was an intentional "ghostly" effect.

I've noticed there is an issue when I load the original pack and nocturnal missions with a mod.Sometimes the keys just disappear.

What mod are you running with?

I've noticed there is an issue when I load the original pack and nocturnal missions with a mod.Sometimes the keys just disappear.

What mod are you running with?

With Doom Incarnate and Accessories to Murder.And later even with High Noon Drifter. I've played Die Fuhrer die and the key just won't appear.

I've had this exact same problem. My theory was always that Laz replaced the chainguns with keys through dehacked, that way the chaingun wielding bosses would drop a key like they're supposed to.

[CeeJay]

The Original, Nocturnal and Spear Missions by Laz came with a customized Doom 2 EXE, which among other things made the bosses drop keys and end the levels in some cases. These were changes that were beyond the limits of DeHacked.

Quote from ENGINE.TXT that came with ORIGINAL MISSIONS package:

WolfenDOOM PC Engine Notes Joel Murdoch (Joel@ts.co.nz)
--------------------------
This engine is a modified version of Boom version 2.02. Nothing major, just a few minor modifications to recreate the original Wolfenstein as closely as possible. Some of the changes I remember making (I'm hopeless at taking notes) are:

- Hans Grosse drops a gold key when killed just like in the original
- Secret exits and "cast list" code rewritten so all three episodes can be in the one WAD
- New intermissions. The original 320x200 backgrounds from the orginal are included
- Exit messages from the original game reproduced
- The bad guys don't go after each other when they accidentally shoot each other, though those accidental shots still cause damage.
- The two bonus levels (see main text file) play on a continuous loop
- Hitler has two states, armoured and normal, like in the original
- ORIGINAL.WAD and ORIGINAL.DEH load automatically

The WAD also has some music from Spear of Destiny and Wolfenstein 3D, taken from Bob Prince's site (www.bpmusic.com), plus three half-assed demos by me. Don't bother watching them - they were done in a hurry for the sake of completeness only and besides, I suck!

There's two ways to play. You can use one of the supplied batch files to select an episode and play it at skill 4:

ESCAPE.BAT - Episode 1: Escape From Wolfenstein
FAUST.BAT - Episode 2: Operation Eisenfaust
DIE.BAT - Episode 3: Die, Fuhrer, Die
BONUS.BAT - Bonus Levels

Or run ORIGINAL.EXE and start a new game to play Escape From Wolfenstein. Type in IDCLEV11 for Operation Eisenfaust, IDCLEV21 for Die, Fuhrer, Die, or IDCLEV31 for the bonus levels. The EXE assumes the DEH and WAD are in the same directory that the EXE is run from. Since this engine's a Boom port, you don't need DEUSF or DeHackEd.

In all other WolfenDOOM scenarios, Laz would just put the key or exit switch somewhere in close proximity to the boss.

[Whoah]

Huh. That's pretty damn interesting! Never knew that

[CeeJay]

Well, I was around the community even back then. I remeber Boom, and all ports based on it that followed such as Marines Best Friend (MBF) and Smack My Marine Up. Yes, I'm that old. The original intact packages for his work are surprisingly hard to get ahold of nowadays.

[AFADoomer]

I think the original release packages, plus some fixes, are still available from Laz's own mirror of the original web site. The original Doomworld site (that is still referenced in all of the readme files) is full of broken links, though.

[StroggVorbis]

Last time I checked, the MP40 in WolfenDoom: Original Missions doesn't do 5, 10 or 15 damage like the pistol and chaingun, but 3, 6 or 9. Intentional?

[NightFright]

I would think so, yes. I didn't change anything with actual damage output other than through difficulty settings.

[NightFright]

I issued a small update for the collection, bringing it to v1.11.

Changes:
- Files repacked from PK7 to PK3 format (LZMA compression)
- Operation Rheingold Ep.2: Fix for hanging corpse having Invisibility Sphere effect
