partially transparent. Has anyone done anything with strife? I can't run quake :(, but strife
is real cool. I was looking at the .exe, and there seems to be some old doom stuff (the mission
completion text from doom2 I think). Is anyone going to be making an editor? and is there any
specs out?

Subject: Quake
G'day, I'd just like to say that something should be done about all of the
guns (except super shotty). They look very cheap and not up to the usually
extremely high standards which we have come to expect. The nail guns are also
a pretty weak attempt at a minigun and the other weapons are also not
"great". I have shown the test to allot of people and they all agree that the
all the weapons look and feel shit except for the super shotty. I realise
that the weapons will probably change, but if they were in the final version
i would probably never forgive myself if i hadn't said something, I mean lets
face it the weapons in doom were awesome, and help create the pleasure and
enjoyment all players get out of it. Otherwise the game looks to be a corker
so keep up the good work:)

After building a large WAD file with textures, sounds & all that good
stuff, is there a way to filter out anything NOT used? I'd kind of like
to drop the size of the .WAD down under 4 megabytes. But since I used
textures and all of that (including sounds), it sure is taking up a lot
of space.

Subject: WEEKLY REMINDER : Beginner's Questions
New subscribers to DOOM-Editing take heed...
===================================================================
This message is being posted at the request of the list's caretakers.
In this you will find: the purpose of this list, how to get answers
to less than 'expert' questions, how to get info about the list, and
what can get you kicked off the list. If you are new to this list,
please take a moment to read the short note that follows. It will
help to get you up to speed and, may save you some grief in the future.
====================================================================
FROM: the list caretaker; *** A REMINDER ***
The DOOM-editing list is not a list aimed at newcomers to
DOOM-editing. Its purpose is to provide discussions on *advanced*
DOOM editing techniques, as well as discussions on the variations of
the DOOM engine. Many of its members are not tolerant of repeated
"beginners" questions. Sorry--that's just the way they are ;) There
is much that beginners can learn from the list, however, and we would
like the list to be of use to as many subscribers as possible.
In the past, there has been much moaning about new subscribers asking what
old-hands feel to be "typical newbie questions", usually posted in
ignorance of the fact that the topic has been discussed to death
previously. This leaves newcomers in a quandary: to post or not to post?
Well, help is at hand. The "Beginners Questions Service" can act as a
buffer between you and the higher echelons of the DOOM-editing elite,
conceited lot that they are. It works like this: if you have a question but
don't know whether it's advanced or not, and would like to avoid any
potential embarrassment from asking the question in front of the whole
list, you are encouraged to mail it in the first instance to:
John Wakelin : johnw@datametrics.com
Your question will either be answered or, if deemed appropriate for the
list, forwarded to it. This service is offered as a potential red-face
saving and list-annoyance abatement service: there is absolutely no
requirement on anyone to make use of this service, but doing so may get you
an answer quicker than sending to the list, and can potentially save you
from finding yourself in the middle of a flaming. But then, as a DOOMster,
you can take a toasting, right?
**NOTE: If your questions are prefixed with the code WQ: in the subject
field (e.g. Subject: WQ: Sprites), they will be processed quicker because
they will be brought to light sooner!**
====================================================================
Remember also, that if you want any general info about this list,
including instructions for unsubscribing from the list, you should
send mail to the list-server, thus:
To: majordomo@nvg.unit.no
Subject:
Body: info doom-editing
====================================================================
**How to get kicked off DOOM-Editing**
This list looks very unfavorably upon chain-letters (No matter what
the cause). The caretakers have indicated that persons posting these
items to this list are subject to immediate unsubscription with no
warning.
The admin of this list also looks very unfavorably upon any
off-topic discussions whether they be religious arguments, Quake or
public flaming via the list. Discussion should be relevant to DOOM.
Heretic Hexen and Strife are also valid topics as they are all
based on the DOOM engine. Discussions of Quake are off-topic. There
is a developer's list and several newsgroups now available for
discussion of that game.
So far, admin has specifically stated that the religious battles as
well as public flaming via the list are the other things that will
get you kicked from the list without warning. So, if you must stoop
to slapping at someone verbally, please, do so via PRIVATE mail.
CONSIDER THIS YOUR WARNING.
=====================================================================
This reminder will be posted here weekly, with the subject title:

I have a problem: I subscribed to the Quake-editing list at the
appropriate time. I even got back a single test message, so I know I
subscribed correctly. But I never got anything else. Can I just
resubscribe?
I know I'm off topic so don't shoot, I just want to get on the right
list(s)!.

Hey Richard here. I've done little importing but would be interested.
I didn't know about the cyan. That explains that I don't know the way
they used colors in doom. Is there a chart or something?
