Add doom_complete.pk3 from WADSmoosh to IWAD list

Post by Kinsie »

WADSmoosh is a cool new utility by JPL that lets you merge all the official IWADs into one big megagame.

It's pretty awesome, but it'd be awesomer if it could appear in the IWAD list. To this end, I've hacked together a quick IWADINFO entry for it:

Code: Select all

IWad
{
	Name = "DOOM Complete"
	Autoname = "doom.complete"
	Game = "Doom"
	Config = "Doom"
	Mapinfo = "mapinfo/doom2.txt"
	MustContain = "SMOOSHED"
	BannerColors = "54 54 54", "a8 a8 a8"
}

Code: Select all

Names
{
	...
	"doom_complete.pk3"
}

The issue with this is how to detect the doom_complete file. There needs to be a unique identifying lump present in the IWAD for this to work. You can't rely on lumps like MAP01, E1M1, PLUBOSS, and TNTBOSS. What if the person building the file doesn't have Final Doom? What if they don't have Doom 1? This is something that needs to be fixed in the IWAD first.

Maybe convince JPL to leave a lump named "SMOOSHED" in the root of the generated PK3 when it's generated?

I'll have this in the next build (no eta).

There definitely won't be a consistent MD5 sum etc for doom_complete.pk3, because the file's contents might vary based on what the user gave it, and even things like OS and the Python version used in the build. But I realize that level of IWAD detection isn't what's being asked for here.
