WadSmoosh - merge all official id releases into one PK3 IWAD

[JPL]

K, new version up:
- fix the above mentioned doom1/doom2 texture conflicts, eg switch in e1m3, by redoing those two games' texture defs. thanks Full Doom Textures for the helpful reference.
- if final doom is present but not doom2, extract doom2-specific resources from tnt.wad. if doom1 is also not present, extract common resources from tnt.wad too, and the 3 doom1 patches from plutonia.wad
- add M_EPISOD to common graphics lump list to fix error message even if doom1 isn't present
- copy included resources before extracting lumps (no impact on functionality)

Let me know if you find any more texture errors!

I'm afraid I haven't had time to play with this yet, but I'd been meaning to ask: Is this program able to read IWADs out of the Steam install locations, the way ZDoom.exe can? It would be a nice convenience and save a step for some users.

Hm, interesting. Right now the application is zero-configuration, and I'd like to keep it that way - otherwise it gets into "build a GUI" territory. This would mainly be on Windows, right? If there is a reliable registry key it could query to find the WADs, that seems reasonable. I think I'm pretty much done messing with this for a while, but that's a good possible v1.1 feature.

Okay, the project down has its own public Bitbucket repository:

https://bitbucket.org/JPLeBreton/wadsmoosh

and I've updated the first post in this thread with a link to that download page.

I wish someone could do something like extended version of memorial.wad by Eternal with all IWAD level included in single UDMF format map (or at least like some hub-based system)

As for performance issues, I have ~1500-2000 fps on memorial.wad (gzdoom 1.8.6, 640x480, core i5-4670 3.4 ghz, 8 gb ram, geforce gt240), so this shouldn't be a real problem.

Looks like a great idea, but doesn't work for me. It produces a pk3 if the source iwad folder is empty, but otherwise it gives this log

Copying mapinfo.txt
Copying language.txt

no pk3 is generated, no matter what combo I do...I'm running on windows 8.1, no idea what the issue is... Shame, I would love this for hideous destructor.

Can you please make it to read the needed .WADs from a directory of my choice? I have one big (really big) folder for all of them that are ZDoom-compatible, so manually tinkering with them isn't easy.

[Gutawer]

Can I make a suggestion? Instead of having the pk3 contain $MUSIC_X in the Plutonia MAPINFO lump for maps 20 + 22-26 + README, would it be possible to just give them the P_ prefix like the rest of the Plutonia maps? - I think this would be better because it makes the Plutonia MIDI Pack compatible with this (provided you change the names of the file names in the Plutonia MIDI pack to have a P_ prefix). Or better yet, make the program recognize plutmidi.wad and automatically put the music in the iwad? Thanks.

Pretty useful tool, so you don't have to switch IWADs everytime.

Is there a file called wadsmoosh.log in the folder where you ran it? If so I'd like to see what it output. Also any other .log files that the program might have generated.

[DemonSlayer]

This mod is awesome. For some reason the Master Levels option does not appear. I put the files requested into the source wads folder, is there anything else I should do besides running the exe file?

[MG_Man]

Works fine, except that the Master Levels sky graphic doesn't seem to be added (the maps that use it complain about Unknown Texture ML_SKY1, 2, and 3)

Also I had the same issue where the PK3 was not created/updated, but I just added the contents of the PK3 folder to it myself


And finally, a minor suggestion:

At the beginning of the Doom 2 mapinfo file, adding

Code: Select all

adddefaultmap
{
	BorderTexture = "GRNROCK"
}

makes Doom 2 and on use their different screen border graphic while leaving Doom 1 with its own

This one part of E1M1 looks a bit off.

Wall textures should be defined as WallTextures in TEXTURES lump, not as Textures, so that they don't take priority over floor textures. That can be solved by a simple search-and-replace on the text lumps, no need to edit each texture separately in the visual editor.

That was fixed a few days ago. It doesn't show up like that for me.
