come...
Wolfenstein
3D Dome Updates - Help Needed
Since the start in January this year, the Dome has had many
regular visits. We of course want to keep the beat going. So
a renovation is planned. And for that we need YOU! What you
can do? Simple. Make an email to Brian
Lowe describing
what you think should be added to the Dome, or should go
immediately away from it, of course.
The reward
for this is of course - a better site. No matter if you
think your idea isn't good enough or probably has been
mentioned by someone else - send it in! All feedback is
welcome! We need you to make the Dome better. Thank
you.
Hitler's
Attack Update
Patrick Grey sent the following email regarding the upcoming
add-on 'Hitler's Attack':
"My
first week of school has been pretty good, but I don't have
much spare time on school days. I have Monday off, and so do
my parents, however. This means I'll probably get about 3/4
of a map done. However, the ten-level release probably won't
be until September 14 now. I'm pretty much to the schedule,
so there is a good chance that this will be it's last
delay."
Aug 30:
Raid On Wolfenstein Released
This is the first set of levels by Bryan Banfield and is for
Wolf3D shareware v1.4. There's no new graphics but all 10
levels are well designed, quite extensive, and similar in
style to the original game. Click
here
for the download. All files are included.
Aug 27:
August 2002 Dome Award Announced
This month's Dome Award goes to AReyeP for his his texture
library. It's at AReyeP's
and MCS's Wolfenstein 3D
site. Congratulations, Steve!! The library has a wealth of
hints and tips on creating and importing graphics. Please
remember to give credit though if you use any of the
material.
James
Ingham Email Update
James tells me his email address at james_ingham@msn.com
is now working. His other email address at
'wolf3dgalaxy@zzn.com' doesn't work anymore.
Pineapplestein
2 Posted
This TC came out early this year and was sent in by
Patrick Grey. It has levels made with the Creator
program but has a large number of other changes done by Kody
Dagley, Daniel McHone and Erran Newton. Quite a good 'fun'
set. Click
here
for the download.
Aug 24:
New Site/Add-on
Erick Frost has a new site called The
Luftwaffer II Headquarters.
Not much is working yet, but it should be sorted out soon.
Erick is also working on his first add-on called 'The
Luftwaffe'.
Hitler's
Attack Update
Progress on Patrick Grey's 'Hitler's Attack' has been going
well, partly due to Patrick's parents helping out with the
levels. Two more levels have recently been done and a ten
level version should be released in about 2 weeks.
Aug 22:
Full Screen Tutorial Posted
Ripper tells me he's posted a tutorial on how to add a full
screen mode to the Wolfenstein 3D engine. You'll now be able
to enjoy the game without any borders!! The tutorial, and
screenshots, are at CHAOS
Software.
Aug 21:
Operation Scorpion 2: The Legacy (v1.1) Released
Tornado has released a new version of his 'Operation
Scorpion 2' TC. This one has more new graphics and the maps
this time come from 'Wolfen 60'. You can download it
here.
Aug 17:
Prisoner 666
JJ's next project will be 'Prisoner 666'. Here's a pic
JJ sent me...
Aug 16:
Ryans Gaming Club Move
Ryan's Gaming Club has moved to a new url. As previously it
covers Wolf3D but also other games such as Bio Menace, Doom
and Quake etc. It's now at
Ryans
Gaming Club.
Aug 14:
Java FPS Game
Patrick Gray has found a small FPS shooter game called
'Scared' on 'sega.com' that you can play online. Patrick has
provided a url redirection at http://www.scaredfps.cjb.net.
Below is a pic of the opening scene.
Aug 13:
New Wolf3D Mod
Joshua Monroe and his mod team 'Meltdown Entertainment' are
working on a new Wolf3D mod titled 'Barcode Prisoners'. All,
and that means ALL, of the graphics, sounds, the EndArt,
HelpArt, and the EXE will be changed. Here are the features
the full game will have:
- OpenGL
support
- Mouse
look (side to side, not up or down)
- Custom
control settings
- Crosshair
- *MAYBE*
a random mission generator
- HelpArt
and EndArt changed
- Stealth
mode, where you are unarmed and you have to sneak past
guards, and when you kill them an alarm sounds, alerting
all of the guards in the level to your presence. (This
is very easy to do, just have deaf patrolling guards, but
don't put any floor codes into that
level)
- Body
Armor
- Different
Ammo Types
- 7
weapons: Lead pipe, Pistol, Hardballer (Magnum), AK47
Assault Rifle, MK4 Minigun, Throwing knives and
Shotgun
Some
screenshots will be released soon. Thanks Joshua for all
that info, and good luck with the mod.
Hitler's
Attack Update
Progress on Patrick Grey's 'Hitler's Attack' has been slow
(just a half level map completed in a week). The 10 level
version is not now expected for another 5 weeks.
Aug 12:
James Ingham Email Change
James tells me his e-mail address
'webmaster@wolf3dgalaxy.zzn.com'
is not in use any more and 'jamez_ingham@msn.com' is
temporarily not in use. A new address will be posted in a
few days.
Outside
Atmosphere Tutorial
CHAOS Software have released their second Wolfenstein
3D coding tutorial "Outside atmosphere", which allows you to
have a star sky with optional falling rain or snow. This
makes it possible to create really nice outdoor
scenes!
Visit
CHAOS
Software
for more screenshots and the tutorial!
Aug 10:
Polish Vswap Editor
Kuki has sent me a Polish VSWAP editor. It can't modify
objects, but for wall editing it's far better than Wolfedit,
because it has some cool filters, rectangle drawing tools
and a clipboard. And it can also play sounds, though you
can't modify them. It's not compatible with Vswap's
previously edited with Floedit. It's called W-EDIT
v.1.2
and dates from 1995.
On a
different note, Kuki tells me that the language used in the
'Weird Map Editor' (see Aug 6) is 'Slovak'. Thanks
for the info Kuki.
WolfSite
Updated
Wolfsite
(maintained by Guillermo Buteler) has been updated recently
and features levels and links, plus details of Guillermo's
add-ons. Further modifications are also underway, including
a page on level design and more add-on downloads.
Burgerstein
Released
Ross Williams has released a new shareware v1.4 set called
'Burgerstein'. Characters are replaced with burgers, hotdogs
and soda cups. There are seven new levels. All files are
included. Click
here
for the download.
Area 51
Renamed
Wes Desjardins next add-on 'Area 51' (see Aug 5) is
to be renamed, maybe to 'Area 511'. It was pointed out that
Luke Strauman has already used the title 'Area 51' in one of
his add-ons.
Aug 6:
Weird Map Editor
Millward sent me a really weird version of 'Mapedit' he
found recently. The map and object definitions plus some
other instructions are in another language, maybe an East
European one. It's an early version of Mapedit but it works,
at least with the full version. You can download it
here.
Creator
Maps No Longer Accepted
Following several complaints about the number of creator
made add-ons we've posted recently, we've decided not to
accept any more 'maps only' games made with the program. Any
add-ons with creator made maps that have a
substantial number of other changes will continue to be
considered.
Aug 5:
Upcoming TC's
Wes Desjardins is currently working on a new TC called
'Area 51'. Another TC is planned later with Ryan de
Haast called 'Pray For BJ'.
Aug 3:
GORE Released
This shareware 1.4 set by Ross Williams has 7 new well
designed levels. Set in the future, there's a number of new
graphics not seen elsewhere, new sounds and many title
screen changes. All files are included. Download it
here.
Halls Of
Darkness Released
Sixty new levels made with the Creator program by
Patrick Grey. As with other map sets made with
Creator they are predictable but OK. Download it
here.
Needs the registered set to play.
Infiltration
Released
Eight well designed levels by Paul Rawski (SilverIce).
There's a number of new graphics and sounds not seen
elsewhere, plus title screen changes. The storyline is set
in Seattle, 1995 - you can read more in the enclosed text
file. Don't put 'Mapedit' in the same folder or the files
will corrupt. All files are included. Download it
here.
Aug 2:
Hitler's Attack Update
Patrick Grey tells me just one new level has been added
during the last couple weeks, but a ten level update should
be ready within a month.
JULY 2002
July
31:
Day
Of The Chaingun Released
Ross Williams has released his shareware v1.4 add-on
Day
Of The Chaingun.
There are six new levels, plus a number of graphics not seen
elsewhere. There's also many title screen changes. The
levels are well designed and of a fair size though not
extensive.
Also
available are two of Ross's earlier shareware v1.4
add-ons:
 These
2 add-ons have 8 levels each, and the design is OK, though
not as well developed as in 'Day Of The Chaingun'. Both also
have a number of graphics not seen elsewhere, plus changes
to the title screens. All 3 add-ons have 'all files
included'.
Ross has a
website called Rossweb
Index and News.
Check out 'Ross's Editing Site' which has info, links and
pics on Wolf3D and some later id games.
NewWolf
v0.6 (for OpenGL) Released
DarkOne has released a new version of 'NewWolf'. It's
available from his site called NewWolf
- Wolfenstein 3D For OpenGL.
Also available are several utilities including 'IMF Tools'
(for adding sounds), and a colour palette
convertor.
Gottspear
Update
Bobby Bucksnort tells me the levels are all done for
'Gottspear', all that remains is some final editing of
object placements on some of the maps and a testing session.
It's estimated at 10 days or less to the release date.
Meanwhile there's a read me file available which will
be included with the TC. You can download it
here.
July
29:
The
Blitzkrieg Screenshot
Zach sent me the following screenshot from his latest TC
'The Blitzkrieg'. Also, he'd like to remind everyone that
'PV' is NOT cancelled.
July
28: Scarystein
(v2.0) Released
JJ has released a new TC version of 'Scarystein'.
Changes include new ceiling colours, episode names and extra
ammo/health, plus there's a challenging new Christmas level
on episode two. You can download it here.
Sam Feichter
Email
Here's an email received today from Sam:
"Howdy
I have a new
section on my site
called 'The Dumbsmack'. Please visit it. It is pretty much
just my friends (and, every once in a while, me) doing
stupid crap. If you have any ideas for us to do, please
email me at
Samiam5446@msn.com
or
e-mail the Dumbsmackers at Dumbsmack12@yahoo.com.
By the way,
Castle of Doom is almost finished. Give me some time to send
it to Brian over here, and you will get a lot of castle and
doom.
Sam
Feichter"
The Invasion
Released
Here's another set of maps made with the creator
program by Patrick Grey. The levels are obviously
predictable but they're not too bad. Bosses have been kept
to a minimum. You can get it here.
Needs the registered set to play.
July 27:
Floedit v2.0
Started
Flo tells me he's started work on a new 'Floedit' version.

Dome
Award July 2002 Announced
The July 2002 Dome Award goes to Martin Krysiak
for
his TC 'Zero
Hour'.
Not only are there lots of good graphics and source code
changes but the quality of the levels is good too. For those
who haven't downloaded 'Zero Hour' yet, you can get it
here.
July 23:
Nat_W3d v1.4
Released
Andy Nonymous sent this 1.4 version of the 'Nat_W3d' add-on
released yesterday. Andy tells me that the author was
Nathaniel Rudiak-Gould. The story behind these levels is
that they were "withdrawn" from circulation after Apogee
asked that people don't edit the shareware version (see FAQ
v.4.20). Nat later included these levels in his famous
'Temporary Insanity' levels. You can get 'Nat_W3d v1.4'
here.
Needs s/ware
Wolf3d v1.4
to
play.
Wolfenstein Cabin Links
Fixed
Ryan de Haast tells me the following links on his
Wolfenstein
Cabin site
have now been fixed:
- Rising Evil
TC
- Rising Evil Map
Editor
- Rising Evil Source
Code
July 22:
Sword Of Light
Released
Wes Desjardins who made 'Astrostein 2525' has now released
the TC Sword
Of Light.
It has Spear graphics/sounds and 19 new levels. The first is
quite mazy. The layout of most other levels includes a lot
more rooms and the quality is good.
Ryan de Haast
Email
I received this email today from Ryan:
"I
won't be busy with Wolfenstein, my site, and my project
because at the moment I've got to do some heavy studying. My
final and prelim exams are just around the corner and I need
to pass them, so the creating of 'Double Trouble' has
currently been put on hold, until the end of
November.
Ryan de
Haast"
Nat_W3d
Released
First of two shareware sets sent in by Patrick Grey, both
date from 1992 but have not been available on The Dome
before. This one Nat_W3d
has 10 very extensive levels and they are well designed. For
those who like mazes, there's a pretty large one on the
secret level. The author is Nathaniel Rudiak-Gould. Needs
s/ware
Wolf3D v1.0
to play.
Ryan Steinbruner

testing:

Released

Grey, this one is by 'Ideas From The Deep' and is called
New11.
There are 9 levels. What's there is done well but many of
the levels could be developed further. Check out the
enclosed read me file before running the game.
Needs s/ware
Wolf3d v1.1
to play.
July 21:
Scarystein
Released
JJ has released a 5 level demo of 'Scarystein'. There's
a new nasty looking Hans Grosse and there's other graphics
and sounds changes. I helped with some of the levels. You
can get it here.
Needs the registered set to play.
July 20:
Hitler's Attack
Progress
Patrick Grey tells me his 'Hitler's Attack' add-on is
progressing slowly but it's not been cancelled. Five maps
are done (including the three in the demo). It'll be updated
at the 10 level mark which should be in about three
weeks.
It'll then
be updated every time 10 more levels are completed.
July 19:
Operation Scorpion II: The Legacy
Reposted
Patrick Grey has kindly pointed out that the zip posted on
July 16 didn't work. I've now reposted the set and hopefully
this time it will be OK. Download it here.
Scarystein Desktop
Theme
JJ sent me a Desktop Theme which includes a screenshot
from the upcoming add-on 'Scarystein'. You can download it
here.
The add-on has 2 levels and a number of graphics finished
thus far. Here's a pic I made from the opening
level.
July 16:
Operation Scorpion II: The Legacy
Released
Tornado sent me his new TC 'Operation Scorpion II: The
Legacy'. There are some new wall designs and other graphics,
plus some sounds and source code changes. The levels come
from my 'Wolfbel2' set but they blend well with what's new.
Download it here.
Further changes to the 'vswap' are planned.
New Game
Design
Dan86 sent me the following email:
"I
have a new game design idea that I would like to see put
into action. I would like to have the option of choosing the
whether the player can be a good guy or a nazi. If the
player chose nazi, the enemy would then be the emanciated
prisoners roaming throughout the castle. Call it 'Stalag 13'
or maybe 'The Final Solution' (redo).
I guess the
purpose of this game would be to destroy as many of the
prisoners as possible.
Dan."
July 14:
Zach
Grounded
Here's an email Parafriction received from Zach
Higgins.
"I've
got some bad news. I recently received my second semester
report card and frankly my dad hated it. In fact my dad has
me grounded from the PC for 9 weeks!!!!! Even more, in fact
I'm not even supposed to be on now. So you won't hear from
me until 9-15-02 <SIGH>
Take
Care,
Zach"

Wolf3D Level Pack Released
This suite of maps sent in by Patrick Grey has 9 new levels
(e1l1 thru e1l5, e2l1 thru e2l3 and e3l1). They are by
Dobaysoft.
The level quality is mostly very good, though there are
times when an odd wall looks out of place. Coding tricks
like invisible doors and guard statues have been used on
some levels. You can download it here.
Needs the registered set to play.
Scarystein
Pic
JJ sent me a pic from the upcoming add-on Scarystein. It's
too large to put on this page but you can see it
here.
July 12:
BJ Sprites

with the multiplayer game. There's only the standing ones
but they look good. Here's the first of them...
You can
download all of them here.
Blitzkrieg
News/Pic
Zach Higgins has started on a new add-on called 'The
Blitzkrieg' (this is only the working title - it will
more than likely be changed soon). Modifications made so far
are basic as Zach is concentrating on levels this time.
Three have been made so far. A demo may be released at the
ten level mark. Here are some early screenshots.
July 11:
Mazestein3D

JJ has released an updated version of 'Mazestein3D'.

to be OK now and most of the backlog resulting from it
has now been posted.

II (Final) Released
Martin Krysiak has released the final version of his 'Zero

Released
Three level demo version of Patrick Grey's first TC.
Eventually there will be 60 levels. No new graphics yet but
there are ceiling colour and episode name changes. Available
here.
Sam Feichter/Doom And
Wolf
Here's the latest news from Sam:
"Ok,
let's get right down to the point.
I am done
with a new project, The Castle of Doom (Nothing to do with
the Doom series), but, I am NOT releasing it until the 2nd
episode of Gorenstein 2 is completed. The 2nd episode, The
SS Headquarters, will be a step up in difficulty. Therefore,
it goes up, until finally, the final episode, in the hardest
adventure in Gorenstein 2, Castle Gorenstein.
Sam
(Also, after
Gorenstein 2, episode 2 is done, I will be going back to
DooM for a couple months, then back to wolf for Episode 3.
This sounds too much like Star
Wars.)".
July 7:
Encounter
Released
Sixty levels from Patrick Grey made with the creator
program. The level design is obviously fairly predictable
but the quality is reasonable. Bosses have been kept to a
minimum. You can download it here.

Three new levels, and a new BJ and Boss from JJ. There are 2
large mazes, plus a third level where you meet BJ. Download

CounterWolf
Released
Sent in by A. Nonymous, this TC dates from last year. I'm
not sure who made it. There are twenty new levels plus many
new wall designs, other graphics, source code changes and
title screen. Quite effective, and difficult to play at
times!! Here's a pic I made from the opening
level...
You can
download it here.
