Yo!

Hey whats up,

I've been messing around with Wolfenstein 3D/Spear and DooM for a long time (I remember getting Wolf3d on floppy for my old Packard Bell ). And I knew there was a modding community for Wolf3d, but I had never really looked into it (I have been working on a DooM project here of late), so I decided to look in and see whats going on. I have done modding for Wolf3D before, I know source, can use FloEdit (though I prefer ChaosEdit) and all those wonderful things. To me it is fun and obviously you think it is too so I thought I would drop by here . At the moment I am exploring some of the Win32 ports and experimenting with using Wolf3d in GZdoom.

For starters I made a wolf3d IRC channel, for FireFox/ChatZilla users its irc://irc.psigenix.net/#wolf3d for other client users:
/server irc.psigenix.net
/join #wolf3d

Anyway, I really look forward to hanging around here and doing some serious Wolf3d/Spear modding in the future!

Welcome to the forum, Dr.Zin.

I too had my first PC copy of Wolf3D on a floppy. I bought it from Apogee.

I'll try to check out the Wolf3D IRC channel. Good luck with the modding.

Hello there,

And as I always say: Welcome to the madness!

Thanks for the welcome guys .

@Shabbs: Noticed you stopped by. Unfortunately I wasn't at my computer lol.

It's good to hear, there's been a bit of talk but not much actual mod making and releasing going on lately.

Well it IS the summer so I suppose I could understand for quite a few people. Summer holidays and all. I myself am a working man so holidays aren't really part of my schedule lol, I pass the time by playing/modding/making games. I am working on a project right now called Blackwolf, and it will be using GZDoom (I posted something about it in the technical area). I have tonnes of experience with it, and it really saves me a lot of time in the modding area because its scriptable and its an openGL enhanced port of DooM, so I don't have to go through the motions of compiling a Wolf3d exec from source. Although I may do so in the future with my own special version of WolfSDL, right now I just feel like churning out a mod.

Sounds good, good luck with it.

What do you mean Summer, it's bloody freezing here and no one is on holidays!

Um Dean? He's probably referring to those of us who live on the correct side of the world.

CORRECT side? Man, you are gonna start a serious storm of hurt if you aren't more careful with your words in future...

Hehehehe. Mission accomplished....

wow, you must be a genius... thank you for allowing me to interact with you, i feel so fortunate...

Dean, it's something I rarely do. You should feel honored...

Trolololol right?


Anyway, my laptop cooling pad has decided to quit on me so I will be restricted to using a freind's desktop until I can order a new one. This also means I will not be able to work on Blackwolf or be in IRC a lot (mostly at night)

Cooling pad, huh. Well my computer is really a desktop so it never overheats. Or require some "cooling pad".

Its the only reason my laptop has lasted 6 years. I COULD use it without said device but it would be a bad idea as I can afford to purchase a 15 dollar accessory, but I cannot afford to replace a laptop.
