[pre-342] WolfenDoom Portal is buggy

[Gez]

Any hex editor worth its salt could do it. Search for 0x00, replace by 0x20.

IIRC PNotepad can also do it by copy/pasting the problem character in the search and replace box.

Get Notepad++, which can display them. Unfortunately you have to remove them manually because I haven't found a search&replace tool yet that can do it automatically.

Notepad++ still can. Switch to extended mode (which allows escape sequences) and replace \0 with a space or nothing. (Amusingly, you can replace it with \0 for the same effect. Seems NP++ can't input nulls for some reason, but you can use a proper hex editor if you need to do that.)

Where can I find the "extended mode"?

It's a checkbox in the search / replace window.

Bug closed as mod's fault?

Where can I get the latest versions of any WolfenDoom project available to make sure everything works as intended?

Laz put up his own site which looks basically the same as the Doomworld hosted one but it seems to have the new (ready patched) versions of his projects. However, as I mentioned, I did notice that some of the sound lumps are still in the Mac format - though that can be easily changed using Slade.

Thanks Graf and thanks Enjay

Should work now. After validating the format I just change all zeros to spaces.
