A titlemap would be a cool little screen to show on a launcher. Ooh, ooh, idea! Have the titlemap displayed in a somewhat-large window at the top of the launcher. Right above it, the title graphic from the game menu :). You know, assuming you want to take the unneccessary train on the full round trip :mrgreen: .

That was a joke. Rendering a titlemap would require integrating ZDoom into the launcher -- severe bloat. And an OMGIFOL-like rendering of the map's layout would be intensely boring, as well as not evocative at all -- a lot of titlemaps are just a square room with an animated texture in front of the camera.

Heh. Blocks of Doom II's titlemap actually has the words "Blocks of DOOM" in its geometry. :P

Added some more wad reading trickery. It now only shows the levels available in the pwads in the level selection list. Of course, if there are not any, then it will show all the usual iwad levels. There's also a random option.

There's also a thing for viewing the txt files typically associated with wad files. Nothing fancy, just chops off the extension, adds txt and checks to see if the file exists.

They look great. I wonder what they would look like if you used the voxel models as a base... :P

Page fails to load for me... ;-;

If anyone is interested they use 110 beads each and are about as wide as a credit card is...not the right size for coasters, but I may make some bigger ones~
I am also making to sell too if anyone is interested owning their own trio~

Hah, if you throw in a door and a knitted imp you've got a deal :P

Edit: I wonder if it's possible to make a yellow key card with a slice of toast? :lol:

Well I just ordered some brown beads (what's Doom without BROWN TEXTURES) so I may try some other graphics, usually my designs are homemade unless I copy an 8 Bit sprite...but every pixel = 5mm so you can't have too many~ x3

If you can somehow stick an RFID in there and actually have it unlock a door, that would kick all kinds of ass. (actually, I have a friend that could probably do that, I just need to make some plastic-bead keycards of my own...)
