OK, this is getting a little sickening. I think most of you will
agree. There's too many WADS that you cannot tell what they are.
Here's the proposal; The WAD file will allow you to add another
DIRECTORY entry, call it .... "!!GAME!!", for ex. Now, because the
id engine will do nothing with this unless it has a reference point,
Ie, being used as a tile, graphic, etc... We are safe to put a
number in the normal SIZE field of the DIR record to tell what the
WAD was meant for (DOOM/DOOM2/HERETIC/etc...)
1 = DOOM, 2 = DOOM2, etc etc... 0(Zero) being unknown...
I will be implementing this in a new piece of code I am working on.
This code will add this entry for us, so that other authors can
use it to distinguish a WAD more easily...
Any questions, answers, ideas, etc??? I'd like feedback...
