EZDec - Create DOOM mods with ease!

Post by auratoostronk »

Hi! Aura here!
I wrote this program called EZDec, which is a Windows application that allows users to create Decorate code for zdoom-based ports with a simple GUI. It's a good start for people who have never made a Doom mod before, but are interested in toying around with it. Right now, its very early in development, but I plan on adding a lot of features to it.
Currently, it creates a .pk3 file with your customized weapon in it.

Some of the things you can do include:
  • Making a pistol that fires at max speed.
  • Making a shotgun chaingun.
  • Firing an Imp fireball from a BFG
  • Plasma Rifle firing revenant tracers
What I plan to add:
  • Fire rings/lines/other shapes of hitscans/projectiles/railguns
  • Drag and drop custom sprites and apply offsets.
  • Make your own projectiles (not just using Doom 2's)
  • Make your own monsters.
  • Support for all doom-engine games based on IWAD selection
  • Randomly generate new weapons.
Here's a picture of the GUI

Cool! As someone who is (slowly) learning how to mod Doom, this looks like a very useful tool!

I look forward to being able to make monsters the most. :D

No problem! And keep on posting updates, and put it out there on Discord too - MTrop's DoomTools show there is a lot to be gained from new/easier access to common grounds, so keep at it, its great stuff :)
