AFADoomer: - Yes, that was the point. Thank you dude, you really helped me!

That's what I managed to do for Wolfenstein 3D TC mode:

I've updated the first post to announce that a re-written version of this mod is currently in works that takes advantage of ZScript to even more closely emulate the original game:

I wanted to give a status update and post some in-progress screenshots of my latest revision of the Wolfenstein 3D TC...

This newest version takes advantage of ZScript to allow for the mod to even more accurately emulate the original game; everything from menus and help screens to weapon damage calculation and extra life handling has been streamlined!



Text-based screens, such as the help reference and episode finale screens, are all parsed at run-time from the original Wolf3D text data format and can be navigated with the arrow keys. Similarly, the high score screen is actually interactive, letting you enter a name if you've set a record, and saving your high scores across games!

---

Gameplay and hud closely emulate Wolf3D appearance and behavior... With the added option of a fullscreen hud.


Blood splats and weapon puffs are disabled by default, but there's an option to re-enable them in the mod's menu!


Finale scripts and help screens are identical to the original game thanks to parsing the original data files via ZScript.


Menus and message prompts have also been significantly updated to match the style of the originals!

You can follow the progress of this new version of the mod, or download the current version to play for yourself, at the GitHub Repo.

nice looking forward to playing the new version when it's released.

This is great news. And just the other day I was thinking of doing a HD addon for the TC.

Will the new version be reduced to a single PK3/PK7 instead of the current somewhat cumbersome structure?

[AFADoomer]

For at least the base Wolf3D iwad/ipk3, yes.

I do have the code in place to "green-out" the episode selection menu items like in shareware Wolf3D if certain maps aren't found, so I *could* do a shareware, commercial, and nocturnal missions release - but I think that's overkill.

Right now I think I'm going to just have Spear of Destiny as a separate pk3 that uses the ipk3 resources, with the Lost Episodes selection done in-game (menu to emulate the old launcher for that is already done, complete with DOS font), but I haven't done much work on anything SoD related, yet.

Is good mod

[Alamo985]

Hey, nice mod pal.
Looking forward to seeing progress of the mod.

[Tormentor667]

This is gonna be awesome do you plan more additional features?

[PSTrooper]

I made some voxels of Wolfenstein 3D Sprites and I want to make it work in your TC? Where can I find the file names at?

[monstario]

Hey, I'm on Linux, using the latest GZdoom 4.0.0. I've just cloned from GitHub, packaged into .pk3 and tried loading as a file, with doom2.wad as iwad. There are some pretty bad display issues.

Messed-up loading screen:


Unreadable options font:


Incorrectly positioned/layered pistol selection icon:


Also, there seems to be only the base Wolf3D there, without DLCs. But all in all, the actual game seems to play just fine.

Same graphical issues happen with the old 2.0.2 version available here. So for now, I have to resort to using ECWolf which I would rather not use because for some reason, alt-tabbing out of it freezes the whole session.

[AFADoomer]

Yeah, the new menu font changes in 4.0 jacked all of the custom menus up. I'm re-working them - haven't had a chance to do much in the last month or so, though.

[Tormentor667]

Pretty bad that GZDoom 4.0 makes such a mess out of custom menues... I wonder why the developers didn't take care of that.

[Rayman The Hedgehog]

Time ago i was maked a personal fix with the next corrections:

-The Machine gun animation was wrong
-The Weapon.YAdjust was incorrect (for a 64x64 weapon is 16 not 8)
-Added a temp MIDI OST (until i can find a way to convert IMFs songs to Ogg

[wanisea]

I tried to use the upscale program (ESRGAN, TOPAZ GIGAPIXEL AI) and it failed.
Using ESRGAN is a bit tricky and TOPAZ GIGAPIXEL will crash while encoding if the computer specification is low.
Please someone help me.
