Castle Todkrieg 1

Hello! I would like to discuss my upcoming add-on.
It is a simple SOD add-on, with virtually everything replaced.

It involves BJ infiltrating a castle to assassinate top Nazi officials to put an end to the so-called Operation Todkrieg.
I also would like to mention it is in Wolf4SDL!

New enemies and weapons are already in!
StG-44 Assault Rifle: Tougher than the MP-40 SMG, yet it is much more rare.
Waffen-SS: Tougher and more dangerous than the normal Heer troopers. They pack an assault rifle and more health!

Coding is done by Venom inc. Big thanks!

Looks nice, especially the HUD. I am enjoying the classic look .

Will there be textured floor and ceilings, or will it remain an old Wolf3d fashion?

No textured floors or ceilings, but new sounds, a new enemy, a new weapon, and other small changes, plus, all-new maps made by me.

It is made with SoD.
I'd like to keep it simple since it is my first add-on.
(Wall-Textures are from the Wolf3d Texture Library from Areyep's web-site.)

You sure? Because I saw on DHW that you were planning to add a Rocket Launcher and Grenades. You must've changed your mind I guess.

Yes i was, you are right, but that was in the alpha stages. I will most-likely put those in my next project.

Enabling floor and cieling textures can be done in version.h by un-commenting a pre-processor directive (#define USE_FLOORCEILINGTEX).

I will try that, but right now I am focused on finishing up the maps.
Do you have any floor or ceiling textures I could use, by chance?

If you want floor and ceiling textures, you can use Chaosedit or WDC (I prefer Chaosedit) to extract textures of your choice from any past mod that has textured floor and ceilings. Just be sure to give credit to whoever used those textures.

I'm sure you know all that, am I right?

Okay, I have completed the next few levels.
One of them is difficult, mainly because of all the traps.
Here's some screenshots from some earlier levels. I will post some screenies of the new ones later.


Hmmmm....


A statue of the Oceanquake, down in the tunnels...

Looks good. Looking forward to playing it.

I'll try to post new screenies this weekend, just to show this project isn't dead.

Progress is going nicely.

Sorry for not posting some screenshots like I promised though...

Y-y-you lied to us!!

Just kidding, here you go.


Firefight in the mines!


B.J. get's some target practice on the barrels...

Looking good...though doesn't show much.

I know, I haven't got much time for screenshots, I've been working on the maps mostly.

Pushing for a release in December/January.
Stay tuned!

Progress is going swell. Shouldn't be too long until a release!

Hey guys, long time no see.
Yeah, this project may be scrapped unless i get it back from the old hard drive. In the meantime, i will try to start another project. I will not give up on modding!

Why don't you use Dropbox?

I wish you had said that much sooner, but it is too late. The hard drive is sitting in a shelf gathering dust at the moment, and the only way i can access it now is to plug it into my computer, which i don't think can hold a second drive. I'm hoping i could somehow extract it from the old drive, but that may be awhile from now.
It's mostly a stupid move on my part, i should have moved it to dropbox while i still had the chance.

Most computers can take a second hard drive as a slave. If yours can't maybe a friend can do it and post the contents to mediafire or somewhere in the cloud for you to recover. At worst, you can pay some geek shop to recover it for you and put it on a CD/DVD. Don't let years of work go to waste!
