Yeah - 'We want your wad, you can have a copy of the book for free -
here's the document, sign and fax back.' I figure there's not much to
lose :-)

Subject: Doom wad references in DN3d
At the risk of starting a Duke-Nukem3D thread in the wrong place, I gotta
bring this up... It could mean something.
While scanning through the main duke3d.exe file of Duke3D (sw),
I ran across many references to IWAD file stuff:
colormap, numlumps, IWAD, etc. etc.
I think I also saw some ascii mentioning doom wad file formats, etc.
Look about 95% through the .exe at around xF8447 and thereafter to see
what I am referring to.
What is this stuff doing there? Could this be an attempt to run doom wads
on another engine, or just a *very* odd coincidence in variable naming?
:-)
Does anyone have a clue about this?
Happy Hacking,

Please limit this thread to relevent discussion about this subject!
The last thing we want is a DN3D takeover on doom-editing

Subject: Extracting graphics from other games....
Hello all,
I'm working on Insane Weapons variation 3, to be released very soon.
What I'd like to know is: is there any way to extract graphics from
other Doom-Like games (like ROTT and Dark Forces). I'm particularly
interested in extracting a monster from Cybermage to put in my patch.
If not custom-made extractors for these games (akin to WinTex for Doom),
how about rippers? I got one that simply did NOT work at all (Ripper 4.8?)
Any ideas? How about even getting screen shots? I know I can do this
with Doom, but I don;t know if those other games have built-in
screenshot commands. Is there a way to get a screenshot from anything
you're running in DOS?
Mike Gummelt

basing levels on id's copyrighted material (graphics/sounds/levels) is
considered a copyright violation. likewise, you're not permitted to
distribute a doom level converted to hexen e.g.

Subject: Field of vision Quandry...
Is your field of view locked at the same height? Irregardless of changing
the players height you always see as if you are 56 units (or whatever the
proper player height is) ... Is there anyway to change this? I suspect
"NO" is the answer but I thought I'd check...
Whilst I'm at it... Anyone know how to change the height of the weapon
when firing? (ie. letting a rocket come from your head, that type of
thing...)
Any pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

Where is the best place to get doom stuff on the Web or FTP sites.
Stuff like levels and editors and utlitys.
My hard as He** level is still up for playing.
