ATTENTION ARCHIVE MAINTAINER: the following files custmwad.zip custmwad.txt should be moved to utils/wad_tools. Thank you. ===== Cut here after the files have been moved to their final location ===== (the following is an excerpt from the documentation in custmwad.zip) EXTRACT.EXE and WADCOMP.EXE are two utilities for compiling WAD files. Together, these two programs should let you build a "custom" WAD. WADCOMP.EXE is the actual "compiler", and EXTRACT.EXE is a powerful tool for extracting stuff from WAD files. You will find them especially useful if you want to manipulates WADs in a way other programs won't let you. Since these utilities work with directory entries (lumps), you can use them with any valid WAD file, be it a Doom2 WAD or a Heretic WAD. Also included in this distribution is LIST.EXE, which lets you view the directory of a WAD file. There are many programs out there that do that, and I am including mine only for your convenience, just in case you don't already have one. Also, LIST.EXE will let you check if a WAD file contains a certain entry and return an error code if not. This is good for batch file programming. Two sample batch file are included to demonstrate the features of EXTRACT.EXE and WADCOMP.EXE. REBUILD.BAT rebuilds your v1.666-1.9 DOOM.WAD and eliminates the redundant sound entries (miraculously enough, it even works with The Ultimate DOOM). SPRITES.BAT shows how you can emulate other programs (e.g., nwt -as) using WADCOMP.EXE and EXTRACT.EXE.
