oh it was in Spirit this whole time? i went through every monster-related wad and somehow missed spirit, thanks a lot!

I don't suppose you used any tricks to find that? or did you just look through the mess that is shuffle667's wad clusterf**k

I unpacked everything from Intensify.pk3 into a directory and ran grep there:

Code: Select all

`--> grep DarkRevenant *
grep: _mwr.wad: binary file matches
grep: Spirit.WAD: binary file matches

Fortunately, WAD files don't have any compression, so text inside them can be searched that way.
