Toby Accessibility Mod - DOOM for the blind [V10.0 RC1!]

[Alando1]

Hey guys, I know it has been a while, but I wanted to let all of you know that my team and I appreciate the feedback we have been receiving and we are continuing our work on improving the Toby Accessibility Mod. I, too, want to mention that we have a tiny update patch for those who would like to use the accessibility mod with Project Brutality and Brutal Doom. Please note that this patch is strictly for compatibility purposes and just allows players to run the Toby Accessibility Mod with the PB and BD. In version 9.0, there will be more work done to add further compatibility for these gameplay mods, but, for now, this update patch will be a temporary solution. The link will be below and on the main thread:

Hey guys! As a little gift for everyone this holiday season, a new level set is available for the Toby Accessibility Mod. It is a Toby-fied version of my wad Bring Back the 90s. The levels have been altered to be blind-player-friendly with added audio landmarks and some slight modifications to the levels for easier navigation. For those who may not already know, Bring Back the 90s requires Doom 1 or The Ultimate Doom in order to play. It is a full 9-level episode (E1M1-E1M9).

Link is on the first post labeled: "NEW! - Bring Back the 90s - Toby Edition"

Hope you enjoy and have a wonderful holiday and a Happy & Healthy New Year!

Hi, Allan. Great mod. I'm watching a lot of walk-throughs to get tips and tricks, and the music quality is much better than mine, which has just MIDI files. How do I get the real music that I hear others use?

Hey guys, The Toby Accessibility Mod Version 10.0 RC1 is now available. My team and I will be doing more work on it and doing additional tweaks here and there. As of right now, Version 10.0 RC1 is playable and ready to roll. As always, my team and I hope you enjoy it, and if anyone has any ideas, suggestions, or feedback, feel free to let us know.

@pianogeek - It all depends on the music mod itself. If it was made to replace music in the original Doom games, it'll only be playable with that. If you want custom or higher quality music to use for the Toby Mods, they would have to be strictly made for them since the music lump names are different from the lump names in both Doom 1 and Doom 2. For example, in Toby Doom, the music for MAP01 is named "D_MAP01" whereas the music in Doom 1 would be named "D_E1M1" and in Doom 2, "D_RUNNIN." So, if you made your very own wad file with custom music, you would have to name each music lump D_MAP01, D_MAP02, D_MAP03, etc. I was actually thinking of providing an alternate music pack for Toby Doom, anyway. If anything, it'll be published when the final release of Version 10.0 is made available.
