- WolfEdit v1.1 (c) 1992 Bill Kirby
-
- Wolfenstein 3-D Graphics Editor
-
-
- Unpack the .ZIP file into the subdirectory where you have Wolf3D installed.
-
- WolfEdit allows you to modify the VSWAP.WL1 file, which contains the images
- used by Wolfenstein 3-D from Apogee. Before running WolfEdit, you need to
- make a backup of the VSWAP.WL1 file. The backup should be called VSWAP.BAK.
- WolfEdit uses this file for restoring wall images to their original state.
-
- The upper left corner of the screen contains the wall images. Use the
- mouse to draw in this area. To change the color the mouse draws with,
- click in the palette area. A diffent color is associated with each mouse
- button.
-
- Key definitions:
-
- UP/DOWN: scroll between the 64 different wall images
-
- Q: quits (changes are saved automatically)
- L: load a previously saved wall image
- S: save the current wall image to a .WAL file
- R: restore the current wall image (using VSWAP.BAK)
- C: clear the current wall image to the current left mouse color
- G: import a GIF file into the current wall image
-
- The L and S keys allow you to save/load .WAL files. A .WAL file is
- simply a binary file containing the data for a wall image. It is not
- in any standard format that another program could use. If you don't
- include an extension on the filename you type, .WAL is added.
-
- The R key replaces the current image with the corresponding image from
- the VSWAP.BAK file.
-
- The C key clears the wall image using the color that is currently
- associated with the left mouse button.
-
- The G key allows you to load a GIF image, select a 64x64 section of it,
- and copy it to the current wall image. I included this feature so you
- can use the paint/draw program of your choice to design the graphics.
- It is important to note that the palette of Wolf3d is fixed, and any
- GIF you import will have to be converted to the Wolf3d palette. This
- is done automatically by WolfEdit, but it sometimes results in a noticable
- change between the GIF and the wall image. Also, if the GIF you select
- is bigger than 320x200, only the upper-leftmost 320x200 will be loaded.
-
- I have included several .WAL files, and the GIFs that they were made from:
-
- BOB.WAL - Bob!
- CANDY.WAL - little girl
- LYAP.WAL - lyapunov fractal
-
