If it's just one lump, why not just extract with Slade? Interestingly, Deutex can extract a specific lump via -get command.

Read again. My script is part of an automated system, meant to be used for an unknown number of maps. And Slade can't be used via the command line.

Graf - Ok, thanks for the explanation. I'll stick to Unwad for the time being.

Well, SLADE can now support LUA. Perhaps this might actually interest Graf some? I know, a little offtopic but if anything this means someone could implement a WadExt-esque LUA script (granted it's still quite beta).

Has anyone successfully compiled wadext on Ubuntu?
I checkout the source via git into a directory wadext, then:

mkdir wadext/build
cd wadext/build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

All is OK up to here, but when I compile I get:

[ 16%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/wadext.dir/convert.o
c++: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-Wc++11-extensions’

I have updated gcc and g++ to 4.8.5 as some websites discussing this issue have suggested, but to no avail.

Can anyone suggest anything, please?

fixed here

Do
git pull origin pull/6/head
to automatically merge it and compile it quickly.

(Graf merged it rather quickly, so the above is not needed - just do a pull from master)

Thanks very much - all working now

Maps extracted with WadExt have empty SEGS, SSECTORS, NODES, REJECT & BLOCKMAP lumps.

Sorry for bumping again, but is nobody else experiencing this? All pk3s created with WADExt have broken/corrupted maps :(

Couple of bugs I have found:

1) SERIOUS
The decompiled subdirectory doesn't work on Linux because on line 468 of wadext.cpp the path separator is hardcoded as a backslash: Instead the file decompiled\textures.1 (or .2) appears in the root directory of the extracted data.


2) ANNOYING BUT CAN BE WORKED AROUND
The quick help usage is incorrect because on line 86 of main.cpp, it says: but the program behaves as if it says: For example, using the command fails due to trying to open a file called -nosndconvert, but succeeds.

What is the best way to compile the code? I want to make the exe Standalone, but when I build using visual studio, it requires a dll

How do you add the command function? ive tried opening the EXE file but nothing happens. When using cmd to do the command i get this error:

'wadext' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Install wadext.exe and the IWAD or PWAD in a dedicated folder.
Make a batch file, ie wadextract.bat, in the same folder with this line Drag the IWAD/PWAD onto the batch file.

You can do the same thing without the batch file - just drag and drop on top of the tool.

One thing though - would it be possible for it to default to extracting to a folder? i.e. "wadext 1.wad" would default to extracting to ./1/

It would be a much better utility if the extraction to a same named folder had been implemented.

Extraction to a folder has been a thing for a long time. What version are you using?
