- -= WADED =-
- A DOOM Map Editor
- ───────────────────────────────
- Programmed by Matthew Ayres
-
-
- WADED REQUIRES A MOUSE, A VGA VIDEO CARD,
- AND AT LEAST 460K CONVENTIONAL MEMORY!
-
- NO MORE MANUAL SECTOR DEFINING!,
- USE THE MAKESECTOR FEATURE PLEASE!
-
-
- WADED is a complete DOOM map editor. It's full featured, it can edit
- everything you need to, including THINGS, LINEDEFS, and SECTORS. The other
- important aspects to a map, SIDEDEFS, SEGS, SSECTORS, and NODES are all
- handled by WADED internally. So, you don't have to worry about them
- whatsoever.
-
- WADED also includes many automated features and commands to make map
- additions, editing, and starting from scratch easy. It's interface is best of
- all map editors, easy to use, and completely mouse controlled. A wall texture
- viewer and ceiling/floor tile viewer are included.
-
- Building SEGS, SSECTORS, and NODES that DOOM maps require to run can
- be done by WADED. WADED is quite fast at generating them, and let's you watch
- it graphically as it goes along.
-
- There are a lot of features and aspects to WADED, and it's highly
- suggested that you read over the documentation. WADED doesn't yet have
- on-line help, and there is probably a lot you'd miss (and a lot of questions
- you'll muster up) if you don't read over it.
-
- A great deal of time went into writing WADED (and it's documentation).
- So if you really like it, please consider registering it. If you're serious
- about making DOOM maps, then you'll be using it a lot, and you'll appreciate
- the benefits of registering and the support you'll get (and of course that
- fabled good feeling inside).
-
- Please remember that a mouse, a regular 256k VGA video card, and at
- least 460k of conventional memory (also known as lower or base memory, that
- good old 640k barrier) are required. I'm not going to take the time right now
- to explain how to get at least that much memory, but it isn't usually that
- hard. I personally have 632k free. I'd suggest reading up on some other
- sources if memory is your problem. Of course, WADED doesn't require anything
- more than that, so feel free to use your XMS or EMS memory for a cache,
- ramdrive, or whatever else you're using that memory for.
-
- Much more is to be done with WADED, so expect to see later versions to
- be coming out soon. Also, your help is needed in expanding and making WADED
- better, so please report any bugs (no matter how small or big), ideas,
- comments, etc. as soon as you can! Try to bare with any bugs you find in
- WADED (there are none that I know of currently), and please be patient with
- the documentation... for it could have a mistake or misprint that I'm unaware
- of.
-
- You may NOT charge any fee for distribution of WADED. You may NOT
- sell or bundle WADED with any product in a retail environment (shareware disk
- distribution, CD-ROM, profit business BBS system.) You may give WADED to your
- friends, upload it to a BBS, or ftp it to another internet site, as long as
- you don't charge anything for it.
-
- Please rememeber that ID software has requested that you don't write
- maps for the unregistered copy of DOOM. In my personal opinion, I don't
- really care what you do. The key word in ID Software's is "request", go read
- the files included with DOOM. So, as far as I know, it's legal, but they'd
- rather you not. Regardless, if you haven't bought this fine game, you might
- want to consider it! The makers definetly deserve to be payed for the work
- they've put into the game.
