OCTOBER 2002
Oct
31:
Doomsday
Released
Here's a shareware 1.4 Wolf3D set with original graphics
sent in by Bernt Hansen. Originally made by Brian Larsen,
Bernt has made a few improvements to most levels. All ten
levels are new and the secret level is reached from the boss
level. It's quite an enjoyable set, at least judging from
the first few levels, and will especially suit those who
like the original game. Click
here
for the download. All files are included.
Assassination
Update
I've replaced the map files in 'Assassination' (see Oct
25) with new ones sent in by Bernt Hansen. As well as
changes to level three, Bernt has also made a few minor
changes to a couple other levels. Click
here
for the download. All files are included.
Trapped/Set
Of Pics
JJ has made a set of three large size screenshots from
'Trapped'. You can see them here.

Preview Pic
Here's a pic sent in by 'The Man Who Knows' from the
upcoming set 'Red Alert'. Not everything new is included in
the pic.

Starship
Troopers Demo Released
The Alien Fan has released a demo version of Starship
Troopers. You can get it at Starship
Troopers Website
or here. There's
just one level and not all the new graphics have been done
yet, but there's enough in it to show how good the final
version is likely to be.
Oct
29:
Trapped
Released
JJ has released the shareware 1.4 set 'Trapped'. There
are five levels, plus some new graphics and sounds. It has
several 'Hans Grosse' on every level and is very difficult
to beat. Click
here
for the download.

Blastfire
Update
Fredrik Stjernholm tells me BlastFire will soon have a new
site. Also, 'The Fear of Magic' will be remade with new gfx,
levels, weapons etc.
Oct 2002
Dome Award Announced
The October 2002 Dome Award goes to Harry Mass Senior for
his TC 'The Hunt'. As this is the second time Harry has won
the award, Parafriction has made a special
version.
The Alien
Fan Update
Here's an email I received from 'The Alien Fan':
"My
earlier mentioned 'The Terminator' TC has been cancelled.
BUT I have something far more cool in mind hehe. Take on the
role of an MI SOLDIER. Arm yourself with a morita and knife
and set out to kill some bugs.
--Enemies
(So far)--
- Arachnid
Warrior (standard bug)
- Hopper
Arachnid (A Giant Flying Mosqitoe from hell)
- Queen
Bug THE BIG BITCH lol
--Weapons--
- Knife
(who needs a knife in a nuke fight anyway?)
- Morita
(Standard issue)
- Morita
Shotgun Attachment (pretty much secondary fire for
morita)
- Chaingun
(Have fun - that's an order)
--Features--
- Textured
Terrain (aka if the planet is desert, you will see desert
textures for the ground)
- Skies
- Unlike
most Wolf3d games (or tc's as some call them), the
monsters will have new coding
- The
hoppers will swoop down and try to kill you
- The
Arachnids with charge at you in packs (they will be very
tough to kill. Like in the movie you will put about 20
rounds into ONE just to kill it)
- Troopers
(fake sprites) that stand guard at base for a more REAL
feel
- 3d
Dropships (level Geometry)
Click
here
for a
picture of an early version of the arachnid (keep in mind it
may look better/worse to you becuz this pic is taken in
wolfgl)."

his TRTD project. There's also a couple pics from his other

25:
Assassination
Released
Bernt Hansen has released 'Assassination'. This is a Wolf3D
shareware 1.4 set with 'Lost Episodes' graphics and sounds.
All ten levels are new and well designed. Some of the later
levels have pushwalls that need to be opened to get to the
exits. Overall, a very good set. Click
here
for the download. All files are included.
There are
more pics here.
Message
to Bernt: I fixed a few things on level three which were
preventing access to the next level. I tried emailing you
about it, but the email rebounded. Let me know if you want
anything changed. Brian.
Oct
22:
Eat
At Joes: Original Version Released
Someone pointed out that 'Eat At Joes' was not available on
the Dome server. From what I remember, I couldn't get the
new version to work but I just posted the original. There's
10 new levels and good cartoon type graphics, plus new
sounds. You can get it here.

Revival
Of Memories Update
All 39 maps of ROM have now been completed, though with work
still to be done on the graphics and source code the release
date still looks at least a few months away. Hopefully it'll
be ready by Christmas!! Meanwhile, Parafriction has made a
new wallpaper design based on the game. You can see it
here.
Wolfenstein-City
Website
For those interested in RTCW, here's a German website I
found with plenty of new maps, mods, skins and other
downloads. There's even a small Wolf3D section where you can
download a zip of 'Temporary Insanity' with all the original
text files included!! It's at Wolfenstein-City.
The Thing
Demo Release Delayed
Wes Desjardins tells me his TC demo of 'The Thing' will
now be released early November.
The Hunt
Released
Harry Mass Senior has released his latest TC 'The
Hunt'. There are 10 well designed levels (including a secret
level). There are a number of graphics and source code
changes, but the atmosphere of the original game is still
there. It is difficult to beat - there are pushwalls on most
levels which you need to open to find the exits - and there
are bosses on some normal levels. Lots of action, and lots
of mutants!! You can download it here.
Needs the registered Wolf3d to play as Harry has left out
the audiohed file.
Oct 16:
Mr. Lowe's Wolf3D Page Url Change
Due to an 'upgrade' on the server hosting 'Mr. Lowe's Wolf
Page', a '/' now needs to be added to the end of the url -
otherwise links to pics and other pages on the same server
won't work!! The revised url is http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~brlowe/.

'Hitler's Attack'. There's just over a half level left to do

World War
III: Special Edition Released
The first of two releases from Will Hooper today, this is a
revamp of Will's earlier 'World War III' set. All of the
levels are modified with different layouts, there's a new
title screen, plus there's some changed textures and two
secret 'club house' areas. You can download it
here.
Redemption
Released
The second release today from Will Hooper, 'Redemption' is a
new set and has 10 very well designed levels and a new title
screen. Although there are some graphics and sound changes
(including a new boss), it will especially suit those who
prefer the original game. The first few levels are easy to
beat but it gets much harder after that. You can download it
here.

Galaxy
Updates
Here's a message James Ingham asked me to post concerning
his Wolf3D site:
"James'
Wolfenstein 3D Galaxy

working, but hasn't been updated for a while. From now on, I
will try to do some work on it every week and post the site
up once every 2/3 weeks. Sorry about the long time away.

29:
MapEdit
Project
Here's an email from Andrew Millward regarding his MapEdit
Project:
"Hi,
just to let you know that my MapEdit project has been
renamed to MapEdit HB (short for Home Brew) You can download
a slightly updated version at
the
Wolfenstein
3-D Bunker.
Don't expect anything special yet as it is an alpha
version. I will be adding a print map feature and a covert
map versions feature. I will probably add support for
Blake-Stone (like MapEdit 8.4 has) but probably not for the
other games. I can't think of any think else to add yet, but
if anyone has any ideas (as long as it's Wolf3d related) or
wants to see a certain feature, please email me
on
andy@games-guru.com.
I'll probably have to do some more research on Pascal to
find out how to do certain things. I'm also learning it at
college, and have picked the rest up by messing about with
the source code.
Andrew."
Sept
28:

Updated

Buteler:
"Wolfsite

upload of sets has started, but they still can't be
downloaded. Also, the Editing section has added the MapTips
file, a text file with tips to design, make, improve, and
present Wolf3d. This is an open forum so if you got any
tips, you can send them to the wolfsite e-mail or use the
submit buttons on the Editing section. Updated releases with
new tips will appear when new tips arrive. More info on the
page and stay tuned for the post of sets and downloads.
Meanwhile,
I'm having problems with setting up a Read This! to my TC,
Losing An As, please send help

Once this problem is solved the new beta (v0.99b) will

Sept 2:
Prisoner 666 Released
JJ has released 'Prisoner 666' which is for shareware
version 1.4. There's only one level - mainly a large maze -
but it's pretty difficult to beat. One pushwall (which you
really need to win) is hard to find. Some of the graphics
and sounds have been changed. Click
here
for the download. All files are included.
Sept 1:
Castle Totenkopf Released
This is Wolf Skevos-Jones first TC. The levels are well
designed with good layouts. There are many source code
changes, including new enemies (not replaced ones or ghosts,
but full 8-sided guards) and a couple new weapons. It is for
Wolf 3d, but it has one episode with 21 levels (like Spear).
There are many new graphics and sounds, a lot of them are
modified from the Spear episodes 2 and 3. You can find it
here.
Save the
Universe - Part One Reposted
I posted Save
The Universe - Part One
again yesterday after it was pointed out that the original
file didn't work. The one now on the server has been tested
and is OK. For more info on this set, check out
July
31 news.
AReyeP's
'Lost' First Add-on Released
Steve recently found his first add-on again (made in early
1993, and presumed lost for a long time) on a backup disk
and has now released it. Having played most of it, I find it
a very good set of levels with well designed layouts. And it
doesn't look dated at all! There are ten new levels and it's
for shareware version 1.0. You can get it at
AReyeP's
and MCS's Wolfenstein 3D
site (in the 'Other Stuff' section), or here.
All files are included.
