I'm not sure what you are expecting from this WAD. I've had a look inside it and I'm not sure what it is meant to be doing. It doesn't contain any maps, has several music lumps, a SNDINFO lump that defines a bunch of sounds, but doesn't contain the sound files referenced, has a couple of compiled ACS lumps but no source for them (so I can't see what they do) and a bunch of graphics many of which, on their own, don't have any clear purpose.

I looks as if it might be a resource for a bigger project or, perhaps, a mod intended for another project. However, on it's own, I'm not sure that it would do anything particularly meaningful. If you are seeing the titlepic from the WAD, it is loading but, beyond that, there probably isn't much to see.

Also, I notice that one of the graphics mention ZDaemon. So maybe it's intended for that port?

I just replied to the OP over at DW (OP was advised to make a post here, but that's kinda silly in that regard) and its a ZDaemon wad, likely a mod, by the LA clan.

I only know this because (shulk) i am currently researching these very things (ZDaemon's history, that is).

Makes sense.
However, it seems to only be a partial mod. There's not enough in the file for it to be doing much on its own. I guess the ACS lumps could be doing *something*. There is a loadacs lump that specifies them but without source, who knows what they do.

Certainly. ZDaemon mods usually require more things, like skins and so forth. A session usually has some additional downloads.
You probably need the link to the exact session that would play LA Adventure to know, though.

No luck on my end either.
However, this image seems to depict the scene from MAP01 of Dwango6. In that context it makes sense to assume that la-list928.wad is comparing the score of various sessions.

It is strange though that session 928 is missing from this list.

Plus it contains a SNDINFO lump that references sound files not present in the WAD.

Would this be at all relevant? https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/1 ... -reloaded/
The wad links just take you back to the same page, but there is some potentially useful information there.

And also 930. But here are the ZDaemon equivalents (That, for some reason, are quite literally unobtainium through Google)

Also Enjay, the DW versions of those threads have their links redirected, i am not sure why.

There are quite a few reasons to produce WADs with no maps (gameplay mods, graphics/sound replacements etc). However, the WAD in question doesn't seem to have enough in it to do much on its own.

That one works just fine. The only thing to point out is that it replaces map E1M8 from Doom (not Doom 2). So, you have to run it with doom.wad and it will replace the final map in episode 1.
