Matthew Barich has updated 'W3dMapTx'. It's a program written in C# that will randomly mix up the different textures for stone textures (like Gray Stone), so you don't have to do it yourself. This can make things a lot easier with level designing, and also ensures a uniformly random distribution. It works with Mapedit saved maps. Be sure to read the readme.txt file first. This version replaces the one released in July 2007.

However, there's plenty of ammo and health around and they are all beatable. Most of the graphics and sounds have been changed though the Wolf3D feel still remains.

Most graphics and sounds have been changed and there are many complex code changes including helpart, transporters, unlimited ammo (pistol only), extra weapons and textured ceilings/floors.

Executor has released 'Wolfenstein Sextilogy Episodes 1 And 2'. Four more episodes are planned. The 10 levels in the first episode are from the previously released 'Episode 1 Revisited', though the 10 levels in the second episode are new. They are very well made and with the new vswap, create quite an atmospheric scenario. The levels are also designed to be played with the original Wolf3D vswap (not supplied). The game uses the WOLF4GW engine. I couldn't get the game to run with DOSBox, though it does run with VDMSound. Downloaders are recommended to read the readme file before playing.

5th September 2007: Operation Lone Eagle Released

Paul Rawski has released a new set for Spear called 'Operation Lone Eagle'. It has 10 new levels that are extensive, and well designed and decorated.

31st August 2007: Dopefish Wolf Patch

Here's a patch that Dean found while surfing the 'net. It's called 'Dopefish' and has a few changed wall textures with a blue underwater type and a new Dopefish boss (replacing Gretel Grosse) on certain levels. The Dopefish makes an appearance on episode 1 secret level and the episode 5 boss level. However, not that much has been changed and this patch is probably most useful for those who want to use the changes in other mods. Needs the full registered version of Wolf3D to play.

26th August 2007: The Wolf3D Community Map Pack Released

Tricob, Thomas, Dean, WLHack, RonWolf and Brian have released a mapset called 'The Wolf3D Community Map Pack'.

Unlike the original Wolfenstein, General Fatface is in Episode 3, and Hitler is in Episode 6. Another difference is that Mutants and Officers are allowed to appear in any level in any episode. The source code of this mod is available from Tricob upon request.

Paul Rawski has released 'Behind Enemy Lines'. There are 4 levels that are extensive, well designed and with about the right amount of decoration. There's a number of new graphics and these blend in quite nicely and are particularly effective in outdoor scenes. Although at one time this was to be a more ambitious project, what is there is done very well. Please note: Putting Mapedit files in the same folder as the game will corrupt some game files.

20th July 2007: Map Of The Month Club

The DHW Forum is now accepting entries for its July 'Map Of The Month Club' contest. The June contest had 10 entries. I have now played every one of them and with the high standards of mapping it will be difficult for me to choose which 3 to vote for (voting ends in a few days).

8th July 2007: W3dMapTx Released

Matthew Barich has written a program in C# that will randomly mix up the different textures for stone textures (like Gray Stone), so you don't have to do it yourself. This can make things a lot easier with level designing, and also ensures a uniformly random distribution. It works with Mapedit saved maps. Be sure to read the readme.txt file first. Because it's written in C#, the program requires the Microsoft .NET 2 environment to be installed. It's likely that .NET 2 is installed already on your computer (many programs install it), but if it isn't installed and you get an error, you can download it from Microsoft.

5th/7th July 2007: Haasboy.com Grand Reopening Update

Haasboy has sent me the following info regarding the Grand Reopening of Haasboy.com: "The Grand Reopening for Haasboy.com is going to be 07-07-2007, (the date was purely uncoincidental) and the site is going to contain tons of new features such as a forum, guestbook, an event calendar, and much more...

The mod Space Police: Agent 9 - The end of Psantu is being cancelled due to lack of ideas and is being replaced with another mod called F.A.D.E.D. and is going to be about an agency that sends operatives on secret missions to take out dangerous druglords. The main story hasn't been written yet and I'm still coming up with a feature list. Click on the thumbnail for the title screen. My other mod Rising Evil III: The Final Testament has been renamed to Rising Evil III: The Third Betrayal due to the plot of the ingame story... " Update, July 7: Ryan's site has now reopened. It's at Haasboy Software.

Here are two DOS programs from Andy Nonymous that some wolfers with large collections might find useful: WolfMenu and DOSMenu. Fully configurable by the user, they have a search feature, and each supports up to 600 entries. Both programs come with several practical examples and plenty of documentation.

6th June 2007: Multiplayer Engine HUGE Update

Here's an email I received from JJ Erickson, concerning the Wolf3D Multiplayer Engine: Ok it's another awesome update from Carnevil and I - the new Multiplayer Engine - almost a year in the making will be available for a closed beta testing.

There are 5 deathmatch arenas, 2 co-operative levels and 1 capture the life orb level. This is a huge event for the classic Wolfer community and I'd like to thank Carnevil for some of the skulltag source. Carnevil says "there are also 3 new bosses for single player in addition to 3 new weapons, a flamethrower, a grenade and a landmine".

A new script master to the group coded the game types. His name is Joseph van Hoche - he is a complete master to the multiplayer engine code. Also, I re-did some of the graphics in the game to suit this new engine:
-added deathorb (kills player on sight).
-added advanced teleporter (has animated warp sprite just like Doom).
-added new menu items (unlockables, cheats, online play, join game, scroll bar, adv. controls).
-it's in its own client! - thanks to Joseph.
Message to all: if you've got time, head on over to my IRC chat server:irc.Caelestia.net (or org).

It all blends well together and keeps the original Wolf3D feel intact, though the game has a feel of it's own too.

Here's an email received from Tricob: "My TC's plans have officially changed - I'm moving from the original SOD palette and 64x64 images to 128x128 images with a different palette, so all the 64x64 images I've already made for my mod aren't going to be used. I'm therefore releasing the 64x64 version of the walls and sprites to the general public for use in their own TCs. There's two new enemies, six new treasure items, several new wall images (Sorry about the gaudy mansion wall; the palette worked against me), and a few other new sprites."

Code changes include gun bobbing, textured floors and ceilings, directional scenery, 4 keys, extended graphics set and exploding barrels. It all fits together quite well. WLHack helped out with the mapping and code changes. Voluntarily rated PG-18. This game contains some adult content and is not recommended for minors. Updated Apr 6 with some minor graphics changes made to the vswap and a new exe that fixes an ammobug and a coin problem. Also, the 'insane laughter' is now less obtrusive.

18th November 2006: The Thirteenth Floor Special Edition Update

Matthew Barich has sent in news about 'The Thirteenth Floor: Special Edition':
Floor/ceiling textures, light shading, and full screen mode have been added to TTFSE. They look spectacular. In fact, floor and ceiling textures have been created that are meant to go with the original Wolf3D graphics (you'll get to see what the original Wolf3D might have looked like with floor/ceiling textures.) But yes, many of the graphics will be touched up, and there will be some new graphics. Here are some other facts about TTFSE:
* The full version of TTFSE will have a new mission, The Final Fear. The tagline of this mission is, "What if Hitler had invented nuclear weapons?"
* One new creature in The Final Fear will be a giant spider (inspired by the Megaspider in Armageddon). This spider will be very common in very dark tunnels. You CAN NOT kill this spider, and if you touch it, you die INSTANTLY!
* There will be various random events that will occur from time to time. Also, enemies will, on rare occasions at random, drop special items when killed, like treasure, health, and even keys. If you're lucky enough for an enemy to drop a key, you may be able to bypass areas of a level and/or reach special secret areas!

The Blazer Forces: Ghost Betrayal

Krystal's first release is a set of maps called 'Spear Of Destiny Mission Pack 2'. This demo version has 10 completed maps - a complete 21 level version will be issued later. The maps are quite extensive, well decorated and most need a lot of thought to complete them. Many of the levels need at least one pushwall to be opened to get through. This is quite a good set for a first release and I'm looking forward to seeing the final 21 level version. Needs the full Spear Of Destiny game to play.

19th September 2006: NedStats Link Removed

I've recently had complaints regarding the popups that occasionally appear when visiting the news page. They are caused by the link to Nedstat, who told me that these popups would normally only occur a few times a week. However, they seem to be appearing more often than that lately so I have taken the link off. There is already another stats counter on the page though it is not as comprehensive.

16th September 2006: Gods Of The Ethereal Reality

Here's a new set of maps for Spear called 'Gods Of The Ethereal Reality'. It's by demondude777, and the 16 new maps are of a fair size with good decoration. Virtually all the graphics are from the original game though there are many new sounds. There are some out of place looking walls on a couple levels but I'm told it's part of the effect. Needs the full version of Spear Of Destiny to play.

Needs the original AUDIOT.WL6 and AUDIOHED.WL6 files from the full Wolf 3D game to play.
The versions I have posted are in rar file format but other formats are available from KFH Games, including a self-extracting exe version.

28th August 2006: Spear Of Destiny Mappack Released

Megabyte has released a new set of 21 maps for Spear Of Destiny. It's called the 'Spear Of Destiny Mappack' and all 21 levels are extensive, well designed and nicely decorated. There are no graphics or sound changes though some basic code changes like ceiling colours and par times have been made. Slight adjustments have been made to the status bar due to an extra score slot. The coding was done by WLHack. Will especially suit those who like the original Spear game. Also needs the audiohed.sod, audiot.sod, and vswap.sod files from the original full Spear Of Destiny game to play.

27th August 2006: Wolf 3D Mod Updates

Conner94 tells me that 'War Storm' has been restarted with a better, cleaner engine and is now being done by both himself and WL Hack. Screenshots will be available soon, along with feature listing, as soon as more of the graphics are finished.
Conner has also started a small map set containing '6 maps for Spear of Destiny'. It contains nothing but maps, no additional sounds, graphics or source changes. 

Castle Basement

Guarded mainly by brown guards (watched over by a rare SS), the Castle Basement is a small section under the main castle with an open side allowing BJ to sneak in. Mostly dirty brick with small SS base points hidden behind pushwalls.

Castle 1st Floor

Similarly guarded, but you get a somewhat more 'clean' feeling when entering. This floor contains a prison block, small armory (machine gun, ammo) and some serious hallways divided by pillars where it's quite easy to get sniped.

Mutant's Tomb

A wasteland for those somewhat disobedient creations, this area is filled with scattered mutants with no real purpose in mind but to kill. A dirty area with little ammo, mazes, and many pushwalls.

Mutant's Lair

Home to the UberMutant, the Mutant's Lair is where the finished, Hitler-commanded beings from hell patrol to keep the SS safe from intrusion. Not a lot of ammo and a handful of pushwalls.

SS Patrol

A heavily guarded area with many SS officers being transfered from other SS base points around Germany, the brown guard is no longer a common sight. An armory with a chaingun and lots of ammo is located within. Tranz is stationed here.

SS Headquarters

The most heavily guarded area of all, and the station of the Death Knight. Several chaingun containing armories, and lots of SS and Officers. Beware, this is not for the faint of heart. First aid station can also be found.

22nd August 2006: Upcoming Addons Info

21st August 2006: Dome Awards - August 2006

This month's Dome awards go to WLHack for 'The False Spear', KFH Games for 'Wolfenstein Reloaded' and Paal Olstad for 'Wolf-Extra III: Parts 1 - 6'. The last time there were 3 awards in one month was in May 2002!!

21st August 2006: Archives - Volume I Released

Here's a collection of 21 maps made and put together by ack for use with Spear Of Destiny. The collection is called 'Archives - Volume I'. Some maps have been modified since they were first made but they are all extensive and well designed. They are also well detailed and quite atmospheric. They are fairly difficult to beat at times on the highest difficulty level. No new graphics.

Greetings (and prepare to be schooled... you have been warned).

For those of you who know me, you are already familiar with my archives.  For those of you who aren't, I will give you a little preamble.  Over the past decade, I have made a lot more maps than I have ever released.  Some were experimental in nature, others not good enough to use yet still good enough to use later on as a basis for another level, some were too advanced or too hard for the average player, and others were quite decent although never quite fit in with the sets on which I have worked on as of late.  I have designed more maps than I care to admit, and I have pulled some of the more cerebral ones to make this set.  You have been warned.

Cerebral, eh?  Yeah... cerebral.  Over the years I have learned a trick or two and many of which are evidenced in this set.  I tried to use floor coding, object/wall placement and guard AI against the player in many situations.  Yes, this set is hard if playing on the higher skills.  You have been warned.  Being in the wrong place at the wrong time, alerting the wrong guards, allowing certain guards to move about... all can have consequences that are dangerous to your health.  At times the little things that cause variance in the game play are extremely evident and other times they are rather sublime.  So be it.  Should you only make attempt at this set, much of this will not be evident, so perhaps my mentioning this is a moot point, but I would be remiss if I didn't say something. 

In the real world, would you be stupid enough to enter through a door that may lock behind you if you didn't already have the key?  Don't make that mistake here.  Also, I should warn you that it is possible to block a couple of the secrets by killing an enemy right next to the path that the secret wall will take.  There are not many instances where this is possible and most respects it is almost impossible or improbable to do.  Still, it can happen.  Saving is a must and saving in multiple slots is a bright thing to do.  You have been warned.  This is especially imperative when going for perfect games.

There should be ample ammo and health in open areas to get you through the game.  For the average player, you should be able to play on the medium skill levels and have enough supplies to get through the game with a minimum of saving.  There are stashes of ammo and health hidden in secret areas, but consider these a top up, if you will.  Also, you will find a reasonable amount of treasure out in the open.  I can't stomach games that force the players to look for secrets to survive.  That is just sooooo bush league.

Secret areas should be sought out.  You will find your fair share of basic secrets that merely contain supplies or treasure.  Some are aesthetically pleasing too.  But, if you know me, you will soon realize that finding secrets will either lead you to some great areas that will not only help your score, but help you beat those bloody Nazis in the process.  Yes, with floor coding and guard positioning, you just might find that the odd secret will make a hard area much easier.  You have been told.

I hate sets that merely play out in front of the player.  Those are the norm and I have grown very weary of that form of one-dimensional gameplay.  In this set there are ambushes, guards coming at you from more than one angle at a time, interesting uses of open and closed areas, and the like.  Expect anything.  You may hear a guard cry out an alert, but never see him.  Hear those doors opening and closing in the distance?  It happens for a reason.  You have been warned.  Speaking of open areas, please remember it is not my fault if you kill too many guards in one area thus causing that visual bug where objects appear/disappear on your screen.

I broke some rules - sue me!  lol.  Any rule I broke was for the greater good of the level or the set as a whole.  You may find some things that you truly don't like about the gameplay.  Since I cannot satisfy everyone (and I wasn't going to try to satisfy just you, gentle reader), I tried to satisfy no one.  Instead I strove to make a set of which I could be proud.  Do I expect you to agree with my standards?  Of course not.  Those of you that need coding, audio, or graphic enhancements will be sorely annoyed by this mapset.  The cure?  Don't play it.  Delete it now.  I know that there is still a core of hardened Wolfers out there that appreciate the original game in its original form.  Much like acktung!, that is what this set is... the original game with my own personal spin added to the gameplay.  If you don't like it, that is fine by me, but please don't criticize our passion for the original game.

Speaking of deviation against the norm, mutants have been introduced early and officers are introduced much later.  This does cause some pain in the early levels, but in all honesty, seeing mutants in the slime areas makes more sense to me.  Since the slime areas are the dungeons beneath the castle... well, you figure it out - lol.  I used the Wolfenstein format for the intro elevators.  In other words, you cannot enter the elevator at the beginning of the level.  Shouldn't be a major issue.  Par times and ceiling colours are factory set - i.e. there have been no changes.  That too takes away from the feel of the game, in my not-so-humble opinion.

Oh... right... par times.  Let's talk about those.  In selecting these levels, I made sure that the original par times could be beat.  Some levels even have subtle little ways to get a nice bonus if you beat the par time.  I will not be offering any suggestions in that regard.

Is it just me, or is this getting way too freaking long?

And now, onto the obligatory crap contained in most readmes:

Installation:  I have no idea and you are on your own

In event of finding bugs:  Repeat after me, "ack never told me to play this and I am on my own."

Thank you, thank you, thank you! goes to:
- iD Software
- anyone who worked on MapEdit, which was used to make the original maps
- Adam Biser for WDC, which was used to compile this collection (and for being an all-around good guy)
- Ariel & Wolfie3dfan for talking me out of making this a private release (ya, I was only going to share this set with my friends)
- Brian E. Lowe for his support of the community with his help, websites, and advice to all
- Steve and the Lady for being such great people and full of support
- anyone else who is asking themselves, 'why the <bleep> didn't ack thank me?'

This set can be posted anywhere.  I don't care.  This file need not be attached.  I don't care.  Use these maps and claim them to be your own.  I don't care.  Manipulate them and use them in your own projects without giving me credit.  I don't care.  Jimmy crack corn.  I don't care.  The only thing I do care about is that you get some enjoyment out of playing these maps.  If you do, then you have made my day.  If you don't, well... what can I say?  I tried to make them fun.

The wanton rambling must cease.

G'night Gracie & Goodnight Mrs. Calabash (wherever you are)

5th February 2006: Wolf3dsp Alternate Maps And Graphics Pack Info Update

Andy Nonymous has kindly supplied some further info on the 'Wolf3dsp Alternate Maps and Graphics Pack' posted yesterday:
Mapset 1: Nat's Wolf3d levels by Nathaniel Roudiak-Gould - was eventually incorporated into Temporary Insanity
Mapset 2: W3DXLV11 by unknown. Andy added it to level 4 of Street Fighter II
Mapset 3: WOLF1 #1 by The Kid
Mapset 4: WOLF1 #2 by The Kid
Mapset 5: WOLFMM by unknown
Vswap 2: Bill Neisius' PACman patch, which Colonel Bill combined with the Clown patch to make Wolfenstein 3-D meets Pacman and the Demon Clowns of Death
Andy converted all of these mapsets to v1.4 back in 1999 or so, fixed the walk-through walls on mapset 2 and corrected the start positions on mapset 5. Thanks to Andy for providing the info on this. All the sets mentioned above are available on our shareware addons page.

4th February 2006: Wolf3dsp Alternate Maps And Graphics Pack Found

This pack of Wolf3D alternate mapsets and graphics for shareware v1.0 was found on an archive listing files originally posted on the Ace Of Spades BBS. It dates from Feb 1993 and contains 6 mapsets and 2 vswaps, including the original Wolf3D files. Mapset 1 maps are on 'Temporary Insanity', while mapset 2 has only one new map, a much expanded original first level. Mapsets 3 and 4 are possibly the best of the sets and look like they've been made by an experienced mapper though I don't recognize the levels. They are extensive and nicely decorated. Mapset 5 is not so good but playable. The alternate vswap has only one new actor (a Pacman clown) and a few changed portraits. Using DOS, the enclosed batch file will bring up a menu to select any of the available sets but Windows users will need to rename file endings manually. The pack was posted by a Dr. Nibble of Digital Power. 

For convenience, I have since repackaged the best 2 of the sets so Windows users can simply unzip them and play. They are:
Dr. Nibble's Shareware v1.0 Set 3
Dr. Nibble's Shareware v1.0 Set 4

This new game will be called 'Wolfen-Tag', and it is based on 'Skulltag' for Doom. The only differences will be that it is for Wolfenstein, It will be specifically for the Doom Spear of Destiny code, and it will be 6 full episodes, of small~medium maps based on Deathmatch only without multiplayer. Credit will be given to the original creators of 'Skulltag', and the only things that will be used are graphics and sounds. Gameplay will be simple. Only the players, weapons, and objects from 'Skulltag' will be used and not the new monsters.

Here's an add-on called 'Gloom'. Commander Keen made this add-on in 2001 when he was 10 years old.

Two levels (including the first) have 'invisible objects' at times. There are several graphics changes but the original Spear feel remains. Needs the full version of Spear Of Destiny to play.

Also, the zips for versions 1.1 and 1.4 now contain the actual game files as the older zips do not always work with Windows XP.

Here's an update from Majik Monkee: "I apologize for the lack of updates lately on the medEvil project. Due to a lot of overtime hours at work as well as a lot of other stuff going on, progress has been a little slower lately than it was initially, but work on the project has resumed. Currently, all that remains to be done is less than half the maps for the game, and about 1% of the coding (due to a very small detail overlooked in the initial requests). I hope to have some new screenshots for the project before too long. In the meantime, I assure you all that it is still alive and well.

~Majik~"

I need the scenario to be based as much in the medieval times as possible.

If anyone has any comments or suggestions on what they want or would possibly like to see in the game, please email me at boytoy_east@hotmail.com."

25th September 2005: Spear Levels Pack Released

Here's a set of 21 new levels for the full registered version of Spear Of Destiny. The original concept by Gex was for a levels contest but this was later dropped in favour of a levels pack.

Needs the full registered version of Spear Of Destiny to play.

22nd September 2005: Sorcerer's Wrath Update

Luke Strauman sent the following update regarding 'Sorcerer's Wrath': "To Wolfenstein Fans: Well I guess I will let the secret out now on the status of Sorcerers Wrath. I bet all of you thought I had abandoned the project and Wolfenstein - well you are wrong!! I've been avoiding everyone in Wolfenstein for quite sometime.

Now to give you the details on Sorcerers Wrath. All weapons are 100% done. The game still has lots of work, and I mean lots. I've been doing graphics and source code while having to keep everything under wraps. I will be getting in touch with some of my fellow wolfers in the very near future (MCS, Brothertank, WSJ and many others). So if any of you have any questions, my website will be coming back up to date again. The mystery of the Project is over now. - Luke"

13th September 2005: Image World Update

Here's an email from Majik Monkee: "The Image World site is almost out of server space, and as a result, no more submissions can be accepted at the moment (if you already made submissions that are not up yet, they will be posted, but please don't send any more). There has been some discussion about paying for more site space, but one of the great things about the Image World has always been that it's a free service, both to the users and the site administrators, and a financial committment to the site right now may not be a realistic or appealing course of action.

If we decide we cannnot add more server space to the site, at very least, it will remain available as an archive of all the past images that have been submitted to this point. There has been suggestion of removing some past submissions based on "quality", but I have done that largely already regarding what I posted in the first place, and don't feel it's fair to be the judge of what is and isn't good from the viewpoint of everyone who might visit the site.

Whether the site continues to grow somehow, or remains as is, as a static resource of Wolfenstein sprites, we hope you will continue to visit and get use out of the Image World. It's been a great experience running the site, and hopefully it will continue to be a useful tool for modding in the future. ~Majik~"

12th September 2005: Wolfenstein Saga Update

The Wolfenstein Saga set of movies by Andy Squibbs and Sean Humphreys planned for last year is on track again. Although this film is going to be released in parts it is designed as a full feature. The films website is www.w0lfsagafilm.blinkz.com.

8th September 2005: Standalone RPG Info

Here's an email from Majik Monkee: "As many of you may know already, Adam Biser and I have taken a slight deviation from traditional Wolf modding to work on/complete a standalone RPG based on an entirely new engine designed by Adam. The game is called "Star Wars: Bloodlines", and will be something like a cross between "Legend of Zelda" and "Final Fantasy". Many of the graphics come from Lucasarts "Yoda Stories" desktop adventure, with many modifications and new graphics. The story, artwork, and maps are all completed, and currently all that remains to be done is scripting for the second half of the game. Even though the game's engine is new, the project will be freeware when it is completed due to the borrowed nature of the graphics and some other material. The project has a site at: http://mods.moddb.com/5754/."

8th September 2005: Gloomy Worlds Update

Commander Keen tells me that 'Gloomy Worlds' will be a 2 part game. Part one will be based on the Schabbs 3000 engine and the second part will be based on the Spear of Dreams 4 engine.

I'm not sure what is different in this version - apart from it coming as a rar file. Wolfenstein 3D Return Of Hitler will have 60 levels just like the regular game but you can only download the demo at present.

Graphics, sounds, and VGAGRAPH art are 100% complete, and most of the music and text files for the game have been completed as well. All that remains is the maps, and currently there are several mappers involved in the project. The coding was basically finished, but we developed some ideas later that seemed too good not to incorporate in the game, so there is more being added to it at the moment (details will have to wait until later). Several of the changes have not yet appeared in a Wolfenstein mod (at least not to our knowledge).

In the meantime, click on the thumbnail for a set of pictures of enemies/hazards you will face in the game. and also for a screenshot from the first level. More to come soon, hopefully! Still no release date is being estimated. If anyone has any questions or comments about the game, 'medEvil', they can email them to me at dhw_majik_monkee@yahoo.com. - Majik"

This extra help alone has been a huge weight lifted off me, and will assure that there will be regular updates on the site, even if they're not every day (updating a site every day is a time consuming task, and nobody should be expected to do so). Anyway, that's about it...just wanted to say how glad I am that the site is being updated again, and thank everyone for their patience! - Majik"

18th April 2005: Monkee's Image World Update

Here's an email from Monkee Monkee regarding his 'Image World' site: "I know I said I'd reopen for submissions the 20th of this month, but after having had a little more time to myself lately and having been freed of the stress of having to keep the site up to date, I've decided that it's best for overall well-being if the site be closed for submissions indefinitely. This does not, however, mean that any existing part of the site will become unavailable, though, and I hope everyone still gets some good use out of it. Keeping a site updated regularly (especially with my limited PC time) is a lot of work, and requires a lot more free time than I actually have these days. Maybe some day down the road when I've got less to do and I've completed some of the special non-Wolf projects I'm working on I'll reopen the site to guest submissions. In the mean time, thanks for visiting!"

Majik's site is at Monkee's Image World.

I've had a lot going on lately, and it's not always possible to do everything I need to do and keep the site up to date as well. Please don't send any submissions prior to the 20th if you haven't already, as routine maintenance at the Image World submission account during this time period will probably cause them to be deleted. In the meantime, enjoy the content the site already has to offer, and thanks for making it a success!"

3rd April 2005: Doom Universal Tour Demo Released

Ian Summerfield has released a demo version of 'Doom Universal Tour'. There are 5 levels that are quite large, and there are Doom type graphics that come from various sources. The exe used is from the John Bucksnort Tribute Set (coding by MCS) as is BrotherTank's status bar. It blends together quite well. There will be 21 levels in the final version. 

1st April 2005: LoneWolf Beta Engine

Here's a beta version of a new engine for Wolf3D/Spear games being developed by Denis. I've checked it out with the Activision full version of Wolf 3D on my Windows ME computer and it seemed to work well. It played the game with all the music and sounds and was as fast as playing with the normal exe. By adding the parameter '-fullscreen' I was able to play in full screen mode rather than in a window. There's a doc file included which has a lot of info on the project. Ideas and suggestions are welcomed by Denis.

Game release date is aimed at Halloween 2005. The Episode 2 and 3 mods will probably be released at Christmas."

The Monster Bash 3D website has been updated.

This demo level has only 4 or 5 rooms but it does show all the graphics changes made so far. 

13th March 2005: Source Code Problems

Here's an email from Ian Summerfield regarding source code problems and a projects update: "Hello, Ian Summerfield returns with a note that first, Doom Spear will now only have two episodes and then will be cancelled. Second, Coldfusion is now also dead and Doom Universal Tour may end up that way as well. Third, I will now like someone's assistance in the source code department in a new chain of add-ons that will go in this order:

1. Wolfenstein 2. Wolfendoom 3. Doom

If anyone would like to help out with the source code (graphics, levels, sounds if you would like) please email me. Also, for those who don't like cartoon add-ons, I will not want to feature ANY cartoon graphics in these add-ons. Please respond by emailing me at: DakTeam@aol.com.

Thank you, Ian Summerfield

Many of the changed graphics come from the earlier 'Spear Of Dreams', though there are now 11 weapons including rockets. There's a new enemy, weather effects and floor/ceiling textures. Credits, story and weapons text files included. There's a large number of screenshots that were sent in by Kyo. 

9th March 2005: Spear Of Bullsh*t Released

There are some changed wall designs, but the atmosphere of the original game remains. Also included in the zip is a map editor NMAP. 

6th March 2005: Orb Of Calamity Update

Richard Kelly has sent the following update on his latest set 'Orb Of Calamity': "My upcoming TC - now titled "Orb Of Calamity" - will unfortunately not be released anytime soon. I have a *lot* of work left to do with the graphics. Since I do all my graphics by hand, it will take quite a while to complete.

The graphics "To Do" list includes sprite images for Weapons 3 and 5, new title screen, new sign-on screen, and several graphical pictures accompanied with the game story's beginning and end. The beginning of the story will be told in the self-running demo, after the Credits are displayed and before the recorded demo starts.

However, I intend to do a simpler ten-level TC before "Orb" is complete. I really have to do so in order to prepare myself for what Orb requires of me. I haven't created any levels in a while, and doing a TC simpler than Orb will allow me to do make new levels again. I might work with someone else in order to get it completed more quickly.

I've submitted a number of new images to Majik Monkee's Image World in the meantime.

- Richard Kelly."

5th March 2005: Invasion Of The Cartoons Demo Released

Ian Summerfield has released a demo of his upcoming set 'Invasion Of The Cartoons'. There are 6 extensive levels (first episode) that are well decorated.

Replaced May 17 with a final version (36 levels).

Eventually, the set will have 72 levels. The levels look pretty good, and most of the time the difficulty level is similar to the original though occasionally it can be harder. Needs the full version of Aliens Of Gold to play. Please remember to back up your original files first.

Manual/credits are included. The original game atmosphere remains. Quite an enjoyable set. 

30th January 2005: Subworld Hunter Pics

Here are 2 pics from Rocketboy680's upcoming set 'Subworld Hunter'. Some other info - the point is to find the hiding hostage in each level and equip him with weapons so he can escape.

Here's Kyo Kusanagi's latest release - it's called 'Spear Of Dreams' - and there's 18 fairly extensive levels. Music, plus many walls and sprites come from Marcus Svensson's 'TGOEL', and weapons are by Mr Wolf and Conner94. Credit for the bosses goes to KyleRTCW, WSJ, Josh, Majik Monkee and Mario Maniac. It blends together quite well most of the time, though the title screen looks a little weird with the Spear palette!! Please note that this is NOT a sequel to 'TGOEL'.

26th January 2005: Location: 88 Update

MINOTAURiii975 has sent in the title screen for his upcoming set 'Location: 88'. Not much work has been done on it yet. It will follow in the footsteps of 'Gates Of Hell', though with aliens!!

19th January 2005: Wolfenstein 3D Video Available

Havoc has sent in a REAL in-game video of Wolfenstein 3d! The purpose for the video, is to show to everybody that it isn't impossible to record videos from DOS games, such as Wolf3d. Looks a good idea as long as the megabytes can be kept down. It shows action from all of the first level and it's available to download (8.96Mb) at Havoc's Wolfenstein 3D Page. However, I had to download a large attachment before playing it on Microsoft's 'Real Player'.

All entrees will be kept. This contest is only for looks, so as you would imagine I don't need full sets, single frames will be preferred.

Gary Ragland's vswap from his first set 'New30' has been replaced with one that Paal Olstad made and was on his website until recently.

The new song will probably need a little trimming before being used in the games, but it's included here in its entirety. 

24th October 2004: Bushenstein 3D Released

Here's a shareware set called 'Bushenstein 3D' which is quite appropriate with the U.S. Presidential campaign in full swing.

You listen on the radio: Men shouting orders, guns blazing, those same men shouting orders to retreat, repeated blasts from several rocket launchers, bones crunching, animal-like growls, and finally silence... You take your pistol, your only weapon, and go into the building. They know you're here... There's no turning back now...

Majik Monkee has released a set of original midis for the tunes used in 'Operation: Letzterschutz' and 'Operation: Mutant Strike'. The tunes came out very good in the actual games, though they underwent a lot of editing, and sound even better in the original form (and some are much longer). 

9th October 2004: Kill The Gezi's Cancelled

Here's an email from Togo: "Hi Wolfers! There won't be a 'Kill the Gezis'. It's too advanced for me right now. But I will make an addon called 'Abandon' with 60 levels based on the registered game, probably with new sounds and music.

- Togo"

SourceForge has released version 0.62 of 'DOSBox', a DOS emulator for Windows.

Lakota Bucksnort has released 'Paderborn'. There are 15 seamless levels which are designed well and are quite complex. There's a mix of original Wolf3D/Spear graphics plus some newer graphics and it all fits together well. It's quite a difficult set to play at times with lots of action. 

21st September 2004: Call To Code Editors

Here's an email from Kev Reid: " -Call to Code editors. I have an idea that I have been mulling over for some time now, not knowing if it would work or if it was even possible. As such I have made no attempt at the following: Here is a challenge to coders who have some experience with the music aspect of Wolf. Would it be possible to, instead of, loop a sample out of VSWAP in a continuous circuit in the background instead of music? I believe that if this is possible it will be far better than the Ambient sound tutorials as music does not stop other sounds from playing where ambient sounds do. I would be very interested to know - if it is possible drop me a line: sporb2000@yahoo.co.nz."

21st September 2004: Wolfenstein 3D In Icelandic

Atli has released 'Wolfenstein 3D In Icelandic'. All the menus' and the status bar have been converted into the Icelandic language. It's meant to be played with the full original game and has no new maps, graphics or sounds. Needs the full 60 level 1.4 version of Wolf3D to play.

Sam Feichter tells me there's a version of 'Wolf 3D' for the TI-83 calculator. It's at www.ticalc.org/wolf3d. Also available is a version for 'Doom' at www.ticalc.org/doom. The 'Doom' screenshots actually look more like 'Wolf3D!!'. Sam says the calculator costs about $80 in the USA, but if emulators are used this needs both MirageOS (an operating system, downloadable from ticalc.org) and a TI-83+ emulator. Try at Zophar.

Here's an email from ZuljinRaynor: "Spear Doomsday is finally under main production, coding is almost finished and then graphics will go with the flow while maps are being made.

One minor note about the coding: Internal EndArts are causing me trouble. I will attempt to implement that at the beginning of the level there is a Mission Obj's screen and then when you collect journals, press "J" has to open a new menu (Like a menu screen) that lets you pick a journal you have found. You don't have it, then the entries are "???." The regular F1 will not open HelpArt but the missions OBJ's so you can refresh. (Most floors will be just find the exit, while other floors are special). So I will have 2 types of Internal Articles so I need help in this." ZuljinRaynor's site is at ZuljinRaynor's Troll City.

26th August 2004: Dead Reckoning Storyline

Here's a storyline done by Kev Reid for his upcoming set 'Dead Reckoning' (Zombenstein):

"A benevolent force has recently been released on the planet and it's up to Jawn to put it right (since he let it out in the first place). The evil emanating from a subterranean pit has begun reanimating fresh corpses turning the countryside into a wasteland of wandering not-so-dead. Play as Jawn, a local bloke and re-kill all the dead so they can finally rest in peace (or pieces). Then pursue the retreating evil deep into its pit of despair and put an end to whatever you let out once and for all. Battle evil armies of eerily cunning Zombies and Skeletons with your arsenal of improvised weaponry (includes a thermic laser and a heavy calibre magnum). Then destroy the pit from whence all hell rose forever."

Sound good ??? then contact - Sporb2000@yahoo.co.nz - to receive a description and watch for a DEMO on the Dome soon (with the 1st 10 levels).

25th August 2004: Image World Update

Here's an email received today from Majik Monkee: "Due to circumstances beyond my control, the Image World will still not be accepting new submissions for at least the beginning of September. For all of you who have submitted graphics during the past month, I assure you that they will be placed on the site as soon as possible. To those of you who are loyal visitors to the site, I apologize that I have not been able to update it more frequently, but some personal problems and a very busy schedule lately have prevented me from doing any web editing lately. Also, server space remains an issue, though not as bad as before.

For the time being, I ask that folks not send me any more graphics until I post otherwise (either here or on the site itself). I already have quite a few on hand waiting to be posted, and if I get anymore, there is a chance I will misplace or overlook some of them when I get around to putting them up.

To all fans of the site, thanks for your patience. I assure you the site is not dead, and I promise to resume the updates as soon as possible. If you would like to email me regarding the site, or would like me to simply review a submission you have done, feel free to email me at: dhw_majik_monkee@yahoo.com Thanks!"

1st June 2004: Cartosa Lives News Update

Here's an email Rocketboy680 sent me regarding the final version of 'Cartosa Lives': "The game is almost done! I have finally gotten all of those freaky deaky maps completed. The whole game together is going to be 16 levels long. The last level seems impossible, though if you go down the right corridors you will find what you are looking for... or he will find you. I am kinda proud, but the next game should be at least 30 levels. All I need now is storylines and I am through! - Rocketboy680"

Great Wasabi sent me the following email regarding progress on 'DWR2 - Episode 3': "Episode three of DWR2 should be done soon. There's going to be a lot of differences between this version and the last one. Lots of graphics have been changed. There's a new boss, new static items, a few new walls, and the pistol and plasma rifle have been changed. The plasma rifle is now the awesome BFG 9000. The regular enemies are the same, but could possibly change if I feel it's necessary. I may have someone add a little bit of new coding too. - Great Wasabi"

The fourth level includes a push-wall maze. The fifth level is a sewer system that is flooding, so you have to evade the water threatening your live.

Here's a mod that David O' Rafferty found in a market. It's a shareware set called 'Simpson's Doom' and has no new levels, but there are new graphics and sounds.

Here's an email I received from Justin: "First of all my pc crashed so my Swat 2 stuff is all gone. I might complete it another time. As for Op. Assassination, it's still delayed. In the meantime I'm thinking about making 2 Max Payne TC's - Max Payne and Max Payne 2: No Payne No Gayne. The first one will be used with SOD and the sequel will be used with the Wolf demo. They'll take place right after each other. In the first one, you're trying to find the man who killed your wife. It turns out to be an Italian mobster (Jack Lapino). When you kill him, the game ends. The sequel is about you escaping the building (mowing down cops instead of gangsters). Now I'm going to need help with these TC's (coding and maybe maps). If you're interested contact me at juiceman10712@hotmail.com. Justin."

17th February 2004: Nuclear Assassination Announced

Jonathan Storey is currently making two Wolf3D expansion packs. One is called "Nuclear Assassination", the other undecided. They are not typical addons - Jonathan aims to put them across as natural expansions to the Wolf3D story (not Spear or The Lost Episodes).

Both will have the magic expansion formula - some new entities, but retaining the original game atmosphere. There will be some new wall textures, sprites, sounds, a new title screen and expertly crafted new levels. There will be no source code changes.

The new wall textures have been gathered from various sources on the internet, including the The Wolf3D Dome (thanks a lot for these). Some sprites and sounds have been taken from Spear and The Lost Episodes as well.

Both expansions will be using Shareware Wolf3D as a base, since 10 levels seems like a good size for a seemingly proper expansion pack. Nuclear Assassination should be finished in a couple of months.

16th February 2004: Deep Freeze Released

Joe M has released 'Deep Freeze'. There are 30 mostly original levels which are fairly extensive. Many graphics have been changed.

Adam Biser has released a 'public test' version of WDC (short for Wolf3D Data Compiler).

Also included is some map level error-checking that will report some common map errors.

WDC is different from FloEdit in that it uses a project file to store which file you insert in (or associate with) each data chunk. This allows you to make outside changes (such as editing BMPs, etc), run WDC, and just compile the project file without having to re-insert the file(s) as you do using FloEdit. It's available from http://winwolf3d.tripod.com/.

TexZK's next TC project will be 'Cleopatra'. Here's an outline of the story: You are Caesar and the Egyptians don’t want you as their Emperor, so they want to kidnap your wife, Cleopatra. Meanwhile some Romans want to do the same and you must face them, too. You will also adventure into pyramids and tombs; those are rebels’ bunkers. Here you’ll face mummies.

The screenshot you can see shows the very first textures I made (three wall textures and a floor) – don’t worry about weapons and other graphics: it’s because Cleopatra comes directly from TexZK’s story. In fact, there will be new weapons like swords, TRUE bows (this means that they will be fire arrows, like rocket launcher fires missiles), spears and more. I’d like to introduce some RPG elements like accuracy (hits/shots), strength (for weapons carried) and more. To display them all I will reduce fonts on the status bar (or I’ll try to do it).

I want to edit Wolf3D’s palette a bit, but I haven’t got Jasc Paint Shop Pro, so I had to make a program to convert from RIFF palette to Jasc palette. The attached ZIP file contains Asymetrix® BitEdit and PalEdit (for who hasn’t got Jasc PSP), jpal2bin from DarkOne (to convert from Jasc PSP palette to GAMEPAL.OBJ) and my riff2jpal. There’s riff2jpal source in the archive, and it’s under GNU license.

This will be a Star Wars (my first love) based TC, featuring super deformed characters from "Yoda Stories", most of whom feature only two frames of animation not counting "deaths". You are Luke Skywalker (also super deformed), and must rescue Yoda from the Empire. Features will include:

• Unknown number of levels (hopefully known by time of release)
• New sound effects
• New textures
• New status bar including full-body Luke portrait
• Cool bosses (Vader, Bobba Fett, IG-88, and more!)
• New ending and in-between level art
• No blood whatsoever (that may not be a plus, but hey...)
• Plus whatever else we can come up with!...

So far, design is in the most primitive stages. No levels have been started yet (my least favorite part!) and if any brave soul would be interested in contributing there, let me know. This is a SOD conversion, and ideally, I'm after 18 levels. Also, I am looking for some help with coding (to be posted in the Artist Archive). . The images are prototypes... weapons and some editing not yet added)."

The AK (both status bar image and firing sprite are completely original and the flag is created from a flag found online).

Here's some info from Guillermo Buteler about his upcoming TC 'Project FireStar'. Work is underway on the test level, which may end up being the first level of the final release.

JJ's latest TC has been updated with 4 more levels (there are now 10), plus there's a new boss, title screen, status bar and batch file.

8th May 2003: Chaosedit beta test

Here's an email from Ripper concerning 'ChaosEdit':

"In ten days, on May the 18th of 2003, it's time for a first beta test of our revolutionary Wolfenstein 3D editor ChaosEdit, which will also support other games based on this engine like Blake Stone and Corridor 7.

Here's a small feature list:

• Normal map editing with up to 500 maps
• 3D-Editor for adding details in the texture structure of the map (uses game graphics; you can run through your map and give walls textures with your mouse by clicking on the walls
• Wall texture, sprite and graphics editor (including automatic color format conversions)
• Font editor
• Sound editor (including automatic sample and bit rate conversions to Wolf format)
• Quit screen editor

The first beta test, we're about to start, will focus on the map editor part (including the 3D-Editor), so the other editors won't let you edit anything, but will let you view the stuff so far.

But we still need beta testers, who can support us with detailed bug reports of any bugs they find and give us suggestions to make things better.

So if you're interested, please send an email containing your system-configuration (video mode, screen size and color mode, Windows version, processor and memory (RAM)) to chaosware@lycos.de.

Thanks

Ripper"

5th May 2003: Meteo alternative maps posted

Here's an alternative set of levels for Wes DesJardins TC 'Meteo'. They were made by Johnathan. There are 3 episodes with 5 good levels in each. Quite an enjoyable set.

4th May 2003: Dome awards for May 2003

This month's Dome Awards go to Executor for 'The Road To Despair' and Wes DesJardins for 'Wolfenstein: Resurrection'. Executor's TC is very good with the placement of the guards and Wes's TC is a very good 'all round' TC.

1th May 2003: Hell Beneath released

This set is the sequel to 'Wolfenstein: Resurrection'. Made by Wes DesJardins (Wolf Skevos-Jones also contributed), the first few levels are outdoors. The action then takes place inside. There are 18 well designed levels, mostly quite extensive, plus many new graphics, sounds and code changes.

1th May 2003: Tutorials update

Three new tutorials have been added. They are:

• Adding a Back Pack Item (like in Doom) - Joe

1th May 2003: Secret Weapons of Wehrmacht

Ross Williams has released the final version of 'Secret Weapons of the Wehrmacht'. There are 8 good levels plus assorted new graphics and sounds.This is the last of Ross's shareware TC's (his future TC's will be for the full version). 

1th May 2003: TexZK Story released

I just received this TC today and haven't played it all yet. So far it looks pretty good. It's by TexZK and there are 4 episodes (not sure how many levels yet). There are many good effects using ceiling/floor textures and falling rain/snow etc. For me, the falling snow on the episode 4 opening level works especially well. The menu is in Italian, but is basically the same one as in the original game. (For yes, press 's' for si - no is still the same 'n').

APRIL 2003

Apr 29: PG's Wolf3D Site Revamped
Patrick Gray has revamped his site. There's also a message on there regarding the future of the site. It's at PG's Wolf 3D.

Several sections on Alexandre Brosseau's site have been updated. It's at Alexandre Brosseau's Wolf3D Site.

Apr 27: DOS Box
For those who have had problems running Wolf3D with Windows XP etc, here's a DOS emulator that could help. It's at DOS Box.

Apr 24: Hidden Danger Title Screen
Here's the latest title screen Zach Higgins sent me for his upcoming TC 'Hidden Danger'.

Patrick Gray has updated his site and tells me an announcement about the site's future will be posted there next Monday (April 28). It's at PG's Wolf 3D.

Here's a beta version of Ross Williams' upcoming set 'Secret Weapons Of The Wehrmacht'. There are 3 well designed levels thus far, plus some graphics, sounds and title screen changes. The original feel of the game remains. Please send any suggestions (during the next few days) for the final version to Ross at evangelion_203@yahoo.com.

Apr 23: Wolf3D Shareware VGA Version
Chris Chokan sent me this pre 1.0 version of shareware Wolf3D. It's interesting in that several of the objects and portraits are not as developed as in the 1.0 version. There are also some differences in the maps, especially level 10. There are some bugs - the pushwall action is weird and you can't access level 10 from the secret elevator in level 1 (though it's on a supplied saved game). Also, I played it in Windows 98 and had to reboot when I finished the game (due to a problem with sound). There's a 'read this' option from the menu and Chris has added his comments to this! 

Apr 22: More Team Members Needed
Topfragger tells me '3d Arts Software' has four members so far. They still need people who can do the following:

• An experienced wolf3d source code hacker
• A good level designer
• Someone who can add new weapons to the Wolf3d engine
• Someone who knows how to change ceiling colours and make them textured

Anyone is allowed to join. They are planning on making a hit Wolf3d game. Topfragger's email is topfragger@hotmail.com.

This is the final version of TRTD v1.0 (The Road To Despair), released by Executor. It now has 48 levels (the previous version had 29). Requires a copy of Totengraeber II to play.

Apr 20: Mr. Lowe's Wolf3D Page/Add-ons Sections Change
Please note there are now separate pages for TC's, and for add-ons that need the registered set to play. The old full Wolf3D add-ons page was a rather hefty 130Kb and I had complaints concerning loading times. An extra link has been added to the main pages links (the full Wolf3D add-ons are now listed as TC's and Registered Levs). Mr. Lowe's Wolfenstein 3-D Page.

Apr 19: Wolfenstein: Resurrection Released
Wes DesJardins has released 'Wolfenstein: Resurrection'. There are 20 good levels, plus many graphics, sounds and source code changes. The first level is mainly outdoors. Alex Brosseau and Wolf Skevos-Jones also contributed. 

Wolfenstein3D Ross Site
This new Wolf3D site by Ross Williams has a lot of info on upcoming sets. You can also download most of Ross's add-ons. It's at Wolfenstein3D Ross Site.

Topfragger sent me the following email:

"Team crew needed for 3d Arts Software. I need people to join - if anyone is interested, please email me. Thanks.

- Topfragger."

Topfragger's email is topfragger@hotmail.com.

Secret Weapons Of The Wehrmacht! Update
Ross Williams sent me some pics (including the title screen) from his upcoming shareware add-on. New weapons graphics include the Luger P08, a new knife, a new MP40 graphic and a MkB42(H) assault rifle to replace the chaingun. Boss graphics are replaced with a modified zombie. The game will have at least 6 levels, probably more.

You can see both pics here.

Sod Reborn Released
Here's an alternative vswap for the full Spear set. Put together by 'The Man Who Knows', most of the graphics are other peoples (though I remember permission being given in posts on the DHW Forums, and credits are mentioned in the enclosed text file). Ideal for Spear sets that have no new graphics. 

Apr 17: BJ's Last Mission Released
This add-on is the first by George Warren. There are 60 mostly new levels. Many of the graphics are from Spear and some I've not seen before. The devil 'statue' now moves around! Mostly it all blends together quite well, though there are odd walls that look out of place at times. 

Apr 16: Wolfenstein: Resurrection Pic
Here's a pic Wes DesJardins sent me. It's from his upcoming TC 'Wolfenstein: Resurrection'.

Apr 14: Iraqi Blitzkrieg Update
Here's some pics I received from Scheissgeist. They are mugshots of some of the bosses you'll encounter in Iraqi Blitzkrieg. They may change later. They're based on Saddam Hussein, Chemical Ali (the man responsible for Iraq's WMD projects) and General Hidjur Salami (Saddam's most dangerous general).

Message from Scheissgeist:

"Anyone who would like to contribute to the project should e-mail me at stnmarsh@aol.com with the subject line "Iraqi Blitzkrieg." Please note that this project does not favor either side of the pro-war/anti-war argument, because politics should stay out of fun.

--Scheissgeist "

Here's an email from Joe concerning his new project:

"A friend of mine, Seth, and I have started coding and graphical work on a new project. One which is still unnamed as of yet. In this project, I will be doing most of the code work and some of the mapping, while Seth does the artwork and the rest of the map works.

I'd like to inform you that Assault on Castle Totenhammer is NOT canceled as one may have expected if I'm working on a new project.

On the subject of AoT, I have been working some more on the code. I said I'd stop, but I really don't like making maps. So, I have done a few improvements on the AI. Usually there is that pesky made noise thing in the code that guards react to. Well, that's still there, but there are a few modifications. Like if you're using the knife or Sten and a guard spots you, he, instead of the usual sound, produces a sound that shows he was unprepared or caught off guard, and does not alert other guards. But if the player is using an unsilenced weapon, then he makes a normal sound and alerts other guards. That's just one of the several things I've done.

I also added a 'poison' status. If the player walks over a pool of some sort of poisonous stuff (loss of creative wording there..) the player will become poisoned. In this state, the player looses a certain amount of health at certain intervals of time until he locates a medical kit.

There are other 'cool' things coming yet, so I'll continue to keep you posted. -Joe- "

Apr 13: Star Warstein 3D/More Pics
Justin and his brother Jason have been working on the weapons and some other Items. Here are pictures of their new pistol - the Blaster, new chaingun - the Rapid Fire Blaster Cannon (or R.F.B.C.), new 1UP, healing Items and a stormtrooper.

Here's another new Wolf3D site. It's by Topfragger and is at Wolfenfrag.

Dome Award - April 2003
This month's Dome award goes to Wolf Skevos-Jones for 'Operation: Heimzahlung'. Once again, Wolf has produced an add-on combining good level design with good graphics, sounds, and code changes. While the game has a gigantesque "work in progress" - feeling to it, we think it definitely deserves the award.

Codetech has fixed a small bug in his Project Manager program (which was first released Mar 12). 

Apr 12: JJ's New Site
JJ has a new Wolf3D site, though there's not a lot there yet. It's at JJ's Wolf3D Page.

The Alien Fan tells me 'Colonial Marines' is coming along nicely and should be out soon.

Justin's upcoming TC will be called 'Star Warstein 3D'. Justin's brother (Jason) is now going to help out with the project. Instead of guards there will be Imperial guards with high powered blasters. The SS will now be StormTroopers carrying stormtrooper laser rifles. The new Bosses will be Boba Fett, Jabba the Hutt, Stormtrooper General in a Robot and of course Darth Vadar. Below are pictures of the stormtrooper laser rifle and the Light Dagger (to replace the knife).

Apr 10: JJStein: Resurrection/New Version Posted
There are 3 more levels (now 6), plus a number of new graphics including the landmines. Two levels were made with the creator program but they've since been edited. The secret level has many bosses but there's lots of health/ammo. By JJ. This version replaces the one previously available.

Apr 9: WinWolf3D Project
Here's an email received from Adam Biser concerning his WinWolf3D Project:

"Hello, I just wanted to announce my WinWolf3D project, a Windows port of the Wolf3D source. One of the features I'm trying to implement is the ability to change images, sounds, maps, and music easily by using scripts (probably) that tell WinWolf3D to use a given BMP (or whatever) instead of the regular image. The project's web page is at http://winwolf3d.tripod.com.

Along with the port will be a data editor. It is still in a very early stage, right now it's only a data viewer. There's a chance it will have some bugs, but it's there for people to try it. There's no ability to import or edit yet, but that should be coming along soon.

Thanks,

Adam Biser"

Apr 8: NDV (Nazi's Death Valley) Demo Released
Five well decorated levels here for the Spear Of Destiny full version. No new graphics or sounds. By Guillermo Buteler. Also available at Guillermo's site which has a lot more info on the project. It's at Wolfsite. Needs the full version of Spear to play.

During most of the weekend, Easyspace experienced problems resulting in slow loading of my Home Page and slow file downloads. Everything now seems back to normal.

Dungeon Hack Released
Two good levels for the Spear Demo by Wes DesJardins. Mostly original graphics but there's one different actor. Needs the Spear demo to play.

Here's an email received from Scheissgeist:

"My name is Scheissgeist and I'm working on my first Wolf 3D mod. It's an arcade-ish take on the current situation U.S., British, Australian, Polish, and other coalition troops in Iraq are handling.

As a coalition soldier, your mission is to eliminate a group of Iraqi generals (all real life generals, including the infamous "Chemical Ali") as well as Saddam Hussein himself and liberate Iraq, or whatever. Here's the thing - I need help:

• Texture/sprite artists
• Someone who can take MIDI files I write and make them into MUS files compatible with Wolf 3D
• A source code hacker
• Maybe a level design guy

I don't have a website yet, but I'm looking into one. I want this to be a fun, innovative project that maintains the feel of Wolf 3-D, only with a Gulf War flair.

--Scheissgeist"

Apr 7: Fraggerstein 3D Released
A fun add-on by Topfragger. There are four new levels on episode one, plus one each on episodes two/three. The levels are mostly small and not very well detailed, but there are many new fun type graphics. Episode three has a Santa boss and penguins! Episode two boss Homer Simpson is shown below.

Apr 6: Wolfenstein: Resurrection Pics
Wes DesJardins has sent a set of pics from his upcoming TC ' Wolfenstein: Resurrection'.

You can see the whole set here.

Here's the first of three sets being released by Matte Software that were made before 'Wolfen-terror'. There are 9 new levels with a mix of old and new graphics, but the original Wolf3D 'feel' remains. The secret level is not new, but you can access it from level 3. Levels 2, 4 and 5 have large outdoor sections. 

Here's an email I received from Joe concerning his latest project:

"Well, Assault on Castle Totenhammer is coming along extensively well. In all this time, mostly I've only been doing code-work. Only a few levels have been finished off, but I do believe the coding is somewhat more important. Here's a list of changes from the original Wolf:

• New weapon, silenced sten SMG
• New ammo type for weapon #4
• 3 episodes consisting of 20 levels
• Rocket Infantry, Flame Thrower Infantry
• Chaingunners (ORIGINAL graphics this time on the chain-gunner. Heh) (They don't use or drop chainguns, but they fire like Hans, Gretel or Tranz)
• New music. Not much new music: only two or three songs. One from Spear
• New helpart and endarts
• Random guard-spotting and guard-death sounds
• Changed roof/floor colors.
• You don't obtain a lower weapon with a higher one
• New cheats - Invisibility, Infinite Ammo, and no-clipping from Spear!

Finally, and this is a big useful one! OK, you have full ammo and an MP40, and you happen to walk over another MP40 on the ground. Of course, you take it. No longer does that happen. I have two ways of preventing that: Not only do you have to hold the use key to grab items, but it will only pick up guns if you actually need it.

A nice sized list, eh? And this is just the beginning... Actually, I'm nearly through with coding. Really, I'm just going to work on maps from here. I've only completed 5 (!!!) maps! Hopefully I'll manage to get out a demo before too long. This time, I really mean it. I would have included some pics, but I decided against it. I'd like this to be a bit of a 'see for yourself' thing.

Thanks, -Joe- "

Here are 60 new levels with original graphics. There are many bosses, but a lot of health/ammo too. Because the levels are made by the creator program, it's not being added to our lists. However, I've mentioned it here for those who want a complete add-on collection. You can get it from the 'files' section at addonklub.

Apr 3: New Wolf Pic
JJ has sent me a pic from New Wolf. It's too large to put on this page but you can see it here.

Due to an error (reported by A. Nonymous - no 'gold key' on level 3), Matte Software has now updated 'Wolfen-terror'. The error has been fixed. - this replaces the earlier release.

MARCH 2003

Mar 31: METEO posted
As mentioned yesterday, here is Wes DesJardins latest TC 'METEO'. There are 15 good levels, Spear music, a new weapon (pistol), plus many other graphics, sounds and code changes. There's a mix of old and new graphics, which blend well together. 

Mar 30: Wolfenstein: Resurrection Pic
Wes DesJardins is making a new TC called 'Wolfenstein: Resurrection'. Here's the title screen...

Wes has another TC called 'METEO' which will be posted tomorrow.

Mar 28: TRTD v0.8 Beta Updated
Following a complaint about the status bar on the version released March 6, Executor has now issued a new version of 'TRTD - (The Road To Despair)'. It features a stylish-looking status bar based on the original 'Project Totengraeber' one and the pistol from 'Blake Stone: Planet Strike' (resized). Requires a copy of Totengraeber II to play. This replaces the version issued March 6.

Mar 25: Verdammt Software New Member
Alex Brosseau has joined Verdammt Software as a 2nd programmer.

Mar 24: Kaboom Industries
Kaboom Industries (started by Crash Man) is making a game called "Hans' Revenge." The story goes that Hans Gross finds out about the death of his brother, Tranz, and goes on a rampage, killing all enemy soldiers in his way. He soon finds out about the death of his sister, Gretel, which enrages him further. He has one main enemy to kill now, BJ Blaskowitz... Crash Man points out that he does not support Nazism in any way, he's just tired of hearing "good luck bj" and "only you can stop them Blaskowitz" on every mod. The title screen is shown below.

Here's more news from James Ingham:

"The new Verdammt Software site will be up soon, I think Friday... I'll post the link up in a few days.

p.s. - we are still looking for a sound and music designer person :p

- James"

ingomania_182@yahoo.co.uk

Mar 22: Operation: Aliens Cancelled
Alien Software have cancelled 'Operation:Aliens' and are now concentrating on 'Project: Falconhammer'.

The third release by Wolf Skevos-Jones is 'Operation: Heimzahlung'. There are 22 levels, plus lots of graphics, sounds and source code changes. The levels look good, though I've only played 3 thus far and the actor sounds are particularly effective. The helpart is also done well. The title screen is shown below, but there are a number of other pics here.

ps - on some levels there are guards that cannot be killed. It's suggested that silent weapons are used on these levels so as not to alert the guards. For more info on this see 'Read This' page 26.

Mar 19: Mazedude's Page
Mazedude has made several remixes for Doom music and now he's made one for Wolf3D. It's called 'Wolfenstein 3D - Nazi Requiem' and it's available at Mazedude's Page. Look in Remixes. Be aware though, the file is a hefty 6.16Mb! The music is sad, but aggressive (it says something like that on the website) but it sure sounds good. It lasts 4 mins - 29 secs.

Mar 18: Alien Software
David Cookson has joined the 'Alien Software' team. He'll be helping out with the graphics. Also from 'Alien Software' - news that Op: Aliens will be out this month and Project: Falconhammer will be out next month.

Here's some more news from James Ingham:

"The Wolfenstein Galaxy has been down for a while and will be up soon (well not down but not updated...).

Zach and I are making a website for Verdammt Software and it will have a similar style to the wolfgalaxy. And when we have more time, the wolf galaxy should be back...

Also, Verdammt Software are looking for a music creator, we need someone who can record music into the correct files for wolfenstein. BTW does anyone know how to do this? Thanks.

- James"

James's email is now at ingomania_182@yahoo.co.uk.

Mar 15: Fraggerstein 3D
Topfragger emailed me a zip of this TC but unfortunately it doesn't work. The size of the zip was only 489Kb. It was supposed to include a new vswap so I suspect the file was not wholly sent. If Topfragger reads this please try sending the file again. Meanwhile here's the title screen.

Tris received the following email from Stained Titan:

"Hi, I've teamed up with StormBringer to do Acid Rain. Together we will deliver a Spear of Destiny add-on boasting 10 levels. Acid Rain will come soon!"

Mar 14: Alien Software Website
Alien Software has a new website. There's info on the Alien Software guys and on their upcoming TC's. It's at Alien Software Website.

As many will already know, the Dome Forums have been down since Friday last. I have received this message from Tris:

"The Wolfenstein 3D Dome Forums are currently down due to hosting problems Millward has been experiencing. Our estimation is that the forums will be up again within a week. Our sincere apologies for the inconvenience."

The 'DieHard Wolfers' Club has now moved to a new location at DieHard Wolfers on Areyep.com. The old Yahoo Club will remain as an archive.

Codetech has sent a utility called Project Manager 1.0. It creates directories and batch (.bat) files for creating easy source backups and testing your project. You can also keep your project directory well organized.

Mar 9: CFDB Utility/Project Info
Codetech sent me a CFDB (Check Free Databytes) utility. Made with Qbasic 4.5, it checks available databytes from your project's source directory. Instructions for use are included in the zip. 

He also sent me the following email:

"I have a few announcements to make - First of all, Haunted House is still up and running. It hasn't been cancelled. Allthough we haven't worked on it for a long time, Haunted House will be revamped completely. The demo wasn't exactly the game we wanted Haunted House to be, so we'll start it all over again.

Secondly I announce a new project (the name hasn't been decided yet), but here's a short summary of it's features:

• Enemies hearing system completely rewritten (No more made noise)
• Enemies get help even during combat if needed
• Enemies reload their weapons (They hide to do so)
• Reloadable weapons (As in Haunted House), but this time more optimised and better code
• Exploding barrels (Can be carried)
• Guards react on dead bodies
• Dead bodies can be carried
• Player has 15+ authentic WWII weapons (USA/GERMAN)
• Disguises and Id cards (Enemies will take a close look at you every once in a while)
• Vehicle(s) Can be ridden by enemies and player
• Stationary MG42's can be used by enemies and player
• Textured ceiling/floor
• Highly improved AI
• Flame thrower (Flames spread!/Enemies burn!)
• Extremely interactive environment

- I might have forgotten something, but chew on that for a while... Many more features will be implemented for the final release.

Features list is long and they are also easy to implement, memory might be an issue though. Currently I have about 1500 databytes left.

This project is due to be released at Summer 2003. (I sure hope so at least).

Ps. If someone needs to send us e-mail tommi.aijala@luukku.com, please use a title that can be easily separated from those annoying spam messages. For example - Haunted House, Hi Codetech or Hi Megabyte.

 

-Thank you!"

Based in Holland, Stained Titan is currently making an add-on for Spear of Destiny entitled "Acid Rain". It'll feature 7 new levels, some basic code changes and new graphics. The game centers around level design and thus concentrates on atmospherical design.

Mar 8: Project: Infiltrate Released
Here's a 3 level set that Zach Higgins made before 'Project: Vertilgung'. It was thought to be lost until I came across it on my hard drive. It's interesting as it has similarities in some aspects to the later set. Please read Zach's text file before playing.

Wolfsite Updated
Guillermo Buteler's site has recently been updated. It will change again on Sunday to include a NDV demo and news about his brother Santiago's new project. It's at Wolfsite.

Mar 6: TRTD v0.8 Released
Executor's new beta of TRTD v0.8 (The Road To Despair), contains 29 levels -- 27 normal levels and 2 secret ones. The graphics are vastly altered. You might not recognize a few of the levels because of altered graphics! Requires a copy of Totengraeber II to play. This set has since been updated following a dispute involving the status bar.

Executor also sent some teaser shots of the final chapter in th Megastein series, The Final Assault. You can see them here.

There are 33 guards in this hallway that rings around a square buildings. The player just barged in without flushing the guards out first and is about to die a quick death.

What did I tell you about barging into rooms like that? Not only is this place swarming with guards, officers are going to jump out of their cubicles and join the fray.

"Ve're under attack, you ingrate! Get over here! Schnell, schnell!"

"Vat? Do you really zink somezing could happen to us here? It's not like zat Amerikaner Richard Reid vould burst in and massacre us vhile ve're eating."

This month there are 2 Dome awards. They go to Ariel Castañares for The Golden Episodes, and DTrade for Den Of Evil. Congratulations to both winners!!

JJStein: Resurrection Released
JJ has released a 3 level demo version of 'JJStein: Resurrection'. New levels are on episode one - levels 1, 2 and secret. There are several new graphics and sounds but the atmosphere of the original game remains. A number of basic changes have been made to the source code, such as ceiling colours, increased ammo/health and episode names. The MLI cheat and debugmode have been changed too. Beware of the crosses. They have changed colour and are now landmines!! 

Mar 1: JJ Award
JJ has won an award. It came from a warez site so I can't give its link. Our monthly awards will be announced tomorrow. There will be 2 awards.

FEBRUARY 2003

Feb 25: Genocide Prototypes
Zach Higgins next TC will now be called 'Genocide' and he's sent some enemy prototypes of what are likely to be used. The first is shown below.

There are several more here.

Wolfenstein Cabin News
Ryan de Haast tells me his Wolfenstein Cabin site will be updated. There'll be new downloads, a few new pages and maybe some awards to other people. Ryan's upcoming TC 'Double Trouble' is 70% done, but there's no release date yet.

Feb 24: Enemy Pics
JJ has sent me pics of several enemies. You can see them here.

Feb 22: New Alien Website
This website is by 'The Alien Fan' and has info on the upcoming TC 'Alien: Colonial Marines' being made by himself and Wes Desjardins. You can download two trailers for the Colonial Marines TC and you can also learn more about what is going on in the game. It's at Alien Website.

Feb 21: WolfenAliens Website
Wes Desjardins has a new website called WolfenAliens. News and downloads of all his TC's are there. Wes is currently working on a new project called 'Operation: Aliens'. There'll be 6 weapons (rod,double pistols, M41a pulse rifle, chaingun, rocket launcher and M240 Flamethrower). Also, there'll be 20 seamless levels and new music.

Feb 18: Projekt Vertilgung Update
Here's a message from James Ingham regarding 'Projekt Vertilgung' :

"Zach released PV and said there won't be a phase II. The version he released also had a few bugs in. I'm going to finish the project while he works on others...

Firstly I'm currently (in my spare time) making Projekt Vertilgung V1.1 which is basically the same but a few new features in the levels/bugs fixed/secret levels go to the right place/etc... maybe new music and I might change the graphics for the miniguns cause I dont like the ones at the moment.

There will also be in the download a new manual in html format which I think is quite good (I'm 50% done on it). I will also update the readme in the game and I might finish the .bat file which was included but I don't think stories and items in that are necessary. I will send some screen shots in soon and tell you about new updates..."

Thanks James for the above info, good to hear from you again.

JJ has sent me 3 pics. The first is a Desktop Theme and the last 2 are from his upcoming TC 'JJStein: Resurrection'. They may take a while to load as they're larger than the one shown below. You can see them here.

Feb 17: Battlestein 3D Update
Battlestein 3D will be not released until April 1 or later, but meanwhile there are a set of pics that John Burnett has sent me. 

 

Area 51 beta version has been released on Luke Strauman's website at: http://boytoy31.tripod.com/. There are three levels to go in the final version. Luke is hoping it'll be released next week.

Feb 16: Den Of Evil Released
DTrade has released 'Den Of Evil'. There are 11 levels, Spear graphics, plus lots of sounds and title screen changes. It's well designed, but difficult to beat. If you like lots of dungeons and pushwalls then you'll enjoy this. 

Dome Award - February 2003
This month's award goes to Wolf Skevos-Jones for his excellent 'Project Eisenritter' TC. As this is the second time Wolf has won this award, a special version has been issued. Due to the Dome revamp, the awards have got a little behind. Later add-ons will be considered early March.

Wolfen-terror Released
Matte Software has released 'Wolfen-terror'. There are 5 new levels and lots of graphics changes. Some come from Blake Stone/Spear etc but many are new. There are also many sourcecode changes, new sounds/music, helpart and endart. The new title screen is shown below. It all blends well together. This is the first part of what will be a 3 episode set. 

Feb 13:The Golden Episodes Released
Here's a message from Ariel Castañares concerning his latest add-on release:

"Greetings to you all, people from the community, keepers of the wolfy flame. Today I am releasing 'Wolfenstein 3-D - The Golden Episodes', an add-on which I worked on during a long time. Its development did consume a very big part of my spare time, but it took a lot of other people's too, who directly contributed in the making of the game. The set as it is now would have never been possible if it hadn't been for them, but also for others who indirectly contributed, by letting me use their own add-ons' work inside my game.

These people know who I am talking about, but for those of you who haven't been following my set's development, there is a credits section inside the game where you can find out who these great wolfers are.

I've had a lot of fun while making this add-on. I really hope you all have fun too while playing it. It is all yours. And please, don't you doubt for a second and write me an e-mail if you feel like giving me your opinion on the game, asking something, or whatever; I'll be happy to read anything concerning the set. My current e-mail address is spaceraker@hotmail.com.

Nothing left to say, thanks a lot for reading up to here. I leave you now to Brian's comment. Take care!

Norberto Ariel Castañares."

Thanks Ariel for the message. 'The Golden Episodes' has 60 well designed levels with lots of cool graphics and sounds changes. There are many source code changes too and I particularly like the text messages at the start of each episode. A lot of effort has been put into this set. 

Wes Desjardins has sent me a preview trailer of 'Colonial Marines'. As mentioned previously Wes has teamed up with The Alien Fan to help with this upcoming TC. 

Feb 12:War Zone Project 4: High Stakes Released
DTrade has now sent me War Zone Project 4: High Stakes. There are nine good levels. It's fast moving with plenty of action and a lot of pushwalls!

Feb 10:War Zone Project 4: High Stakes Pic
DTrade's next project will be 'War Zone Project 4: High Stakes'. Here's a pic from it he sent me.

Wes Desjardins has cancelled his 'Phoenix Rising' project and will now be working with The Alien Fan on his 'Colonial Marines' TC. Wes will start a new TC in June.

Feb 8:Castle Totenhammer Pics
Here's a pic from Joe Robinson's upcoming TC 'Castle Totenhammer'.

There are several more here.

Feb 6:Best Of BJ Info/Pics
Daniel (dugtrio17) has sent me details of his upcoming TC, which will probably be called 'Best Of BJ':

"It features 9 weapons, tons of new enemies, an armor feature (not in the screen shots), a feature where you can press M and use a portable medkit (holding up to 10 at a time) to get 5 health, a pickup silencer, breakable objects, exploding barrels, and a feature soon to be implemented where medics revive dead enemies... Not to mention a neat surprise that happens occasionally with mutants... mum's the word on that one :)... It will be episode based, with the player never having all 9 weapons at once.

The weapons are: (1-4 same), 5 is a silent sniper rifle and will be story-related (which, strangely works better at long ranges than from up close. Intentional, of course), 6 is a Gatling Rifle type weapon, which is based on an actual weapon, 7 is a pressure rifle (also story related) that fires shots that can pierce multiple enemies, 8 is a missile launcher (which will, once again, be strangely story-related), and last, but not least, is my one and only brand new, original flamethrower. It actually shoots a stream of flames and hits enemies that get in the stream. It also features some nice new art (seen in the screen shots).

The armor feature has now also been implemented, but I can't send screen shots of that because I am in the process of rearranging the status bar. It is based on a tutorial in the Dome, but with MANY modifications and complications. For example, when attacked by a flamethrower guard, you lose a lot of armor.

- dugtrio17"

There's a lot more pics here.

Guillermo Buteler's site has been revamped and moved to a new url. There are sections on editing and links, plus info on the upcoming add-on 'Project: Firestar'. It's now at Wolfsite.

Feb 4:Textured Floor/Ceiling Tutorial
DarkOne has posted info on Wolfenstein Forums (look in the Wolfenstein Revolution section) about a tutorial for textured floor/ceiling effects. It's also at Textured Floor/Ceiling Tutorial on DarkOne's website.

Feb 2:Area 51 Update
Due to a change to Windows ME, 'Area 51' has been delayed. Luke has since reinstalled Windows 98 and tells me the set will be released soon. There are 10 levels left to do.

Feb 1: Rise Of Purple One Delayed
Chris Pappas tells me his upcoming add-on 'Rise Of Purple One' will be delayed until further notice. Chris is now working on a new add-on based on the leisure suite 'Larry Games'.

Here's an email I received fromTexZK:

"Hello, Brian!

I am TexZK, a young programmer of Wolfenstein 3D. I'm only 14 years old so I'm not a good programmer, but I have an idea. Programmers with more experience than me (like DarkOne) can create new weapons: the rocket launcher and the flamethrower. I think they can create weapons like them, so I want to ask you if you can publish this e-mail. I tried to compile a modified code with these weapons, but I haven't got the right experience and there were a lot of mistakes.

In my opinion it's a great idea: why have got only weapons with direct shoot? Shall we have a weapon with flames or rockets?

I hope to find an answer,

TexZK"

Comments, anyone? TexZK's email is gnegno88@libero.it.

JANUARY 2003

Jan 30: Blake Evolution Released
Johnathan has released his first add-on. It's called 'Blake Evolution' and uses the Blake Stone sounds and graphics set converted to Wolf3D by Andy Nonymous. There are 9 new levels (all are pretty good) and the secret level comes from 'Blake Wolf'. There's more info, including the storyline, in the enclosed text file.

Jan 26: Newwolf Texture Pack Released
(Win)Elchtest has released a texture pack of new Wolf3d textures (all made from scratch). They can be used with Newwolf http://wolfgl.narod.ru/. Please note however, it's a hefty 22Mb!!

• Texture Pack (22 Mb): http://www.quake.cz/winclan/temp/w3d_retexture_Elchtest.zip
• Screenshots:

Here's the title screen from John Burnett's upcoming TC 'Battlestein 3D'.

Martin Krysiak tells me the site he is hosting with Kuki is now online. It looks good and has a large number of sections, though some aren't finished yet. It's at Wolfenstein 3D Maniac.

Jan 24: Vampire Released
JJ's latest set is for shareware Wolf3D v1.4 and is called 'Vampire'. There are 5 levels, plus a number of graphics and sounds changes. Instead of Hans Grosse though, you get Schabbs and he's on all levels!! 

Jan 19: Schabbs 9000 Released
Kyle Fisher has released 'Schabbs 9000'. There are 5 levels, plus a whole host of Doom type graphics and sounds. New title screen, plus new helpart/endart files. I did the last 3 levels.

Most Wolf3D fans who've upgraded to WinXP tell me they can play the game but without the sounds. There is a site which specializes in problems running DOS games under WinXP. It's at DOS Games Under XP.

Jan 18: Sport Woooolf Released
Agnieszka has released 'Sport Woooolf'. Each of the first 5 episodes has either 2 or 3 levels. There's a wide range of level designs which on the whole are pretty good. There are a number of graphics and sounds changes, but the atmosphere of the original game remains.

For the latest news on this upcoming TC by Joe Robinson - 

Well, that TC I said I would be working on is coming along well. This time I will not do quite as much coding. I thought perhaps I would go towards the realism scene.

First, I decided B. J. didn't have pocket space for more than 30 bullets, so the limit is now 30. No steroids or anything that gets your health above 100. It seems ridiculous now that I look back. Guns of the same type, make the same sound. Like an SS shoots his gun and makes a predictable sound. Your MP40, however, makes the same sound. A little thing ID left out.

If my history is correct, SS wore black, not blue, so they are now dressed accordingly. The officers in the original wore white. I don't like white clothes, so they are now in a dark gray suit. Also, the SS drop their MP40s and chaingunners drop their chainguns. If you already have full ammo and a copy of that weapon, you won't pick it up. This is one of those little things that is so great that no one thinks to do. Am I truly the first?

In this set, you are, as normal, B. J. Here's a description of the story:

It's January 1945. You have been assigned to assist the Russians as they draw closer to Berlin. One of the Soviet scientists, a Doctor Pepper, has been captured and imprisoned in a castle recently constructed slightly northeast of Berlin known as Castle Totenhammer. (I believe that means Death Hammer. I request that you tell me if that's wrong.) Doctor Pepper is critical to the Soviets because he was working on the development of a new armor to apply to their tanks. This very armor is what will turn the tide in favor of the Soviets while they push for Germany. You are to make your way into Totenhammer, find Doctor Pepper, and find your way out again.

As of yet, I have made no new maps except for a test level to test progress. The sourcing is coming along well as may be obvious. I included the title screen as the first taste of what's to come. A demo should be out before too long. Cross your fingers, and hopefully I won't lose my code this time. -Joe-

Phoenix Rising Ad Poster
Wes Desjardins sent me an ad poster for his upcoming TC 'Phoenix Rising'.

Jan 17: Polskie Forum Wolfenstein
For Wolf3D fans who understand Polish, here's a new forum. It's hosted by Kuki. Polskie Forum Wolfenstein

Wes Desjardins sent me the following pic from his upcoming TC 'Phoenix Rising'. It's in WolfGL.

Jan 13: Escape From Totenhaus Released
Here's another Mac conversion from Laz Rojas. Originally released on the Mac in 1996, it's now available for PC users. There's 10 very good levels (first episode) and a lot of new graphics and sounds. Needs the full version of Wolf3D to play.

Jan 11: New Revival Of Memories Site
Our ROM (Revival Of Memories) project now has a new site. There's lots of info about the project, plus a large number of pics. It's at Revival Of Memories Site.

Jan 9: SST Cancelled/New Project Announced
Due to difficulties in getting action from the big screen into Wolf3D, 'The Alien Fan' has cancelled SST (StarShip Trooper) and announced a new project called 'ColonialMarines'. There's info about the project (along with a set of 8 pics) here.

While watching several SciFi movies (ironically SST being one of them) I came across another adventure I would like to take... I'm very "very proud" as Doctor Wren of Alien Resurrection put it... OF what I have accomplished...

I introduce ColonialMarines: The Second Encounter... Based solely in the Aliens Universe you take control as a U.S.C.M.C marine and are ordered with your squad to Lv534. When you arrive your squad is killed... You awake only to find a pistol and many dead marine buddies... You reach an elevator and take it down to the next floor...

ColonialMarines has the following enhancements to the Wolf engine:

• New Textures
• New Sounds
• New Code (for monsters) and... Altered Code (for weapons)
• Textured Floors and Ceilings
• Elite Group Of Maps (6 to 7 maps spanning from the top level of the colony down to the abyss of the hive)

I am removing music because I can't add in new music. (My comp bugs out when I use the progs.)

Weapons:

• Fist
• 9mm H&k vp70
• M41a PulseRifle
• M56 SmartGun (Let's Rock baby!!!)

Enemies:

• Adult Aliens
• Chestbursters
• Facehuggers
• The Queen (biggest bitch of em all...)

Also, the eggs pods will be "around", but I dont think Wolf3d can be coded to handle Idle, hatch, death stuff that the egg needs... Nor do I have the patience to code that in...

Here are some pics: (Note these pictures are takin in "NewWolf" The final product WILL vary..)

Zach Higgin's next TC will be called 'If'. Here's a pic from it he sent me.

Jan 7: New URL For Alexandre Brosseau's Wolf3D Site
Alexandre tells me his site has moved to a new url at http://www.wolf3dmaster.cjb.net. Alexandre Brosseau's Wolf3D Site.

Jan 5: News Page Back Online
Our apologies to all for the delay in getting this page back online. And a belated Happy New Year to everyone. Unfortunately, the revamp of the Dome is taking far longer than expected (we estimate Jan 22) but in the meantime the news page is back up. Those wanting add-ons/source code info etc. can still find them at my other site Mr. Lowe's Wolf3D Page.

Dome Award/Dec 2002
The final Dome Award of the year goes to Zach Higgins and James Ingham for their TC Projekt Vertilgung. It really is an excellent set and one well worth downloading.

An error was found on level 15 (white key not accessible) of John's 'Tribute Set'. This was fixed Jan 3, 2003. Revised maps (41Kb) are available for those who've already downloaded the earlier version.

Zach Higgins has released the final version of 'Projekt Vertilgung'. There are 20 well designed levels, plus a lot of graphics, sounds and source code changes. A very well made set. By Zach Higgins and James Ingham. Will Bruso also contributed. 

Raw Meat 3 Update
Ryan Steinbruner tells me 'Raw Meat 3' is coming out soon. There's a whole new code, 16 levels and all new weapons, including the plasma bolt! A new level called the crypt will have lots of zombies and dead aliens! Help is wanted for some parts of the project.

Two more pics for Newwolf have been sent in by [Win]Elchtest. You can see them here.

DECEMBER 2002

Dec 25: Beyond Mutantstein Special Edition Released
Well, merry Christmas everybody!!! As I hoped, the 'John Bucksnort Tribute' set has been released. I'd like to thank all those who contributed - BrotherTank for the concept and most of the co-ordination - MCS for his excellent coding work - and AReyeP for the graphics and storyline. Also, to all those who contributed levels. There are 21 straight seamless levels, plus lots of graphics, sounds and source code changes. I feel it's an excellent set - one that John would have been proud of - and it serves very well as a tribute to the 'mutant maker'. 

ps - there's been a number of changes since the first version was released to contributors - changed ceiling colour on level 20 (now black), par times additions to the source code, some minor levels changes and a neater looking blue opening credits screen.

Kyle A. sent me the following email:

"Does anyone have any replacement gif/bmp files for the mutant? Especially, any that have grey or white uniforms. (Remember the mutant has 5 deaths not 4 deaths pictures). And if they are gif files, please make sure they fit with Wolfedit. Thanks.

Please send them to K007auf@aol.com and label the Subject/Topic MNpics."

Luke Strauman tells me his 'Area 51' TC is almost complete. Mission 1 is done and the second mission is nearing completion. Expect it out in a few days.

Dec 24: New Source Code Tutorial Added
Kyle A. has sent in a new source code tutorial called 'Make A Boss Drop Instantly'. It's been added to our Coding Basics page.

Originally released for the Mac, Laz Rojas has now released a PC version of 'Halten Sie!'. There are 10 straight levels which are well designed and replace the first episode. The first level is easy going but it gets more difficult later. There are a number of graphics and sound changes but the original 'feel' of Wolf3D remains. It needs the full version of Wolf3D to play. Please check out the enclosed 'readme' file for installing instructions. 

Dec 22: Tribute Set Update
The completed 'John Bucksnort Tribute' set (Beyond Mutantstein Special Edition) has now been posted for those who contributed to it to download. There are 21 straight consecutive levels. Once everyone is satisfied with it then a final version will be issued for general release, hopefully on Christmas Day. Therefore, please let me know about any changes needed by Dec 24.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get in touch with Sam Chiang or James Ingham - would either email me for the download url if they read this. Since the set was posted MCS has made a few changes to the exe (including par times for the levels). I'll be including this in the final zip, but if anyone who contributed wants this now then please email me.

Dec 19: Imprisoned /Final Version Released
Tornado has released the final version of 'Imprisoned'. There are now 20 levels (only 4 were in the earlier demo set). Some graphics are from Doom though many are unchanged and the atmosphere of the original Wolf3D remains. 

Dec 17: Wolf3D For Q3A/RTCW Project
Some of you may remember [Win]Elchtest. He's been remaking WE1M1 for Q3A/RTCW. Here's an email he sent with info on the project:

"All 60 maps are still in development and I've made good progress with new textures and models. With Newwolf it's possible to use those textures in classic Wolf3D. I plan to implement more of it and I'm thinking of a public release. A screenshot is shown below:

mailto:elchtest@quake.de, [Win]Elchtest"

Dec 16: Dead World Rising Demo Released
This is a 2 level demo by Roger D. Although it's nowhere near finished, there's enough in there to show what we're likely to expect in the final version. Roger uses 'TFS' as a base, but the graphics, sounds etc are 'Doom' based.

Luke Strauman tells me his site now has a number of pics from his upcoming TC 'Area 51'. It's at Wolf 3D Heaven And Hell.

Dec 13: Schabbs 9000 Pics
Kyle Fisher has sent me a set of pics from his upcoming TC 'Schabbs 9000'.

You can see the whole set here.

Kuki's new Wolf3D site is in Polish and looks good, though I don't understand it all!! It's not finished yet but there will be many sections and much of it is done already. It's at Wolfenstein Wiecznie Zywy.

Dec 12: Dead World Rising Project
Here's an email from Roger D. concerning his new project:

"Okay, well I've just scrapped my first mod, and in its place is a new DOOM one. It will be entitled "Dead World Rising", and will take place in the DOOM "Universe", meaning it is related to DOOM, but will have a new storyline. The game was built using "TFS", and the read-me that comes with the game contains all the legal stuff, like all the games used, and who they were made by. The game will feature 5 weapons, most paying tribute to DOOM, but be on the lookout for a new arrival. Armour vests like the ones in "TFS" will also be present. Some of the original enemies will be present, be as it is a new DOOM adventure, be ready for some new ones...

Also appearing is an exploding barrel. I have yet to make it cause damage, but it does blow up. The animation looks kind of cool. New effects have been added, like flashing alarm lights and blinking ceiling lights. With the new walls, it creates a real DOOM atmosphere. I have to complete the enemies, and finish the remaining levels. The game is currently about 15% done, but looks promising so far. I'll give you updates as it progresses. If anyone is interested in playing the test version (What I have do far), I'd be glad to e-mail them a copy."

Well, we got an award. It's from Uqahs who maintains the Wolfenstein 3D - In Polish site. Well appreciated Uqahs. Click on the pic for a larger version.

Alexandre Brosseau has a new Wolf3D site. It's still under construction at present, though some sections such as 'links' are finished. Info on the upcoming TC 'The Luftwaffe' should be available soon and there's already a title screen pic on there. It's at Alexandre Brosseau's Wolf3D Site.

Dec 11: Red Alert/Blood Of Heroes Preview
From 'The Man Who Knows', I just received another preview (a dossier) from his upcoming TC.

You can see it here.

Dec 9: Tribute Set Update
Levels were received during the weekend from Kyle Fisher and Bobby Bucksnort. This leaves 2 more to complete the 21 required. Bobby tells me Harry Mass Senior is doing one, plus Martin Krysiak said he would too. I've checked out all the levels done so far, and all are now bug free (hopefully, I haven't missed anything).

Completing the original 'Castle Totenkopf' boss level 10 is extremely difficult so Wolf Skevos-Jones has now issued some guidance on how to complete the level. Wolf has also issued a new version with an easier boss level.

Dec 8: Steven L. Pappas Upcoming Set
Steven L. Pappas has been working on an extension of the 'Barneystein' patch made by 'Pc Crap' on the SOD engine entitled 'Rise Of The Purple One'. It should be out by the end of the month. Below is a list of new features:

• New maps
• New boss graphics (Mechabarney, Baby Bop, Beavis & Butthead and the Purple One himself)
• New enemy graphics (Sponge Minions)
• New weapon graphics (Rifle, Semi-automatic, DOOM chaingun)
• New story
• New treasure ( kidnapped children)

Here's a couple of screenshots (note: It isn't done yet so that's why some stuff isn't changed):

Dec 6: Tribute Set Update
Latest news on the 'Tribute' is that Bobby Bucksnort has kindly offered to do some more levels, and there should also be one or two from Martin Krysiak. I have just completed a previously unfinished level of Greg's, so that leaves just four more for a complete 21 level set.

Dec 5: Imprisoned (Demo) Released
Tornado has released a 4 level demo of his upcoming TC 'Imprisoned'. Some graphics are from Doom though many are unchanged and the atmosphere of the original Wolf3D remains. If you like mazes then don't miss the secret level. There are some sounds and source code changes and a new title screen. There will be 20 levels in the final version. There's a lot of info about the project in the supplied doc file.

The Dome Forums have been revamped and now have a light blue background colour. Chad has done quite a lot of work on them (thanks Chad) and they look pretty good. 

An update regarding the 'Tribute' set situation was posted in the Dome Forums yesterday in the General section. Basically, I've added Ariel's 2 levels and we now need another 5 to complete the 21 levels. Graphics, title screen, source code, and help/endart seem ok.

Dec 3: Project Eisenritter Released
Twenty new levels here and from what I played thus far they are well designed, plus lots of good graphics and sounds. There's one large seamless episode with 7 weapons and new keys. The 'read this' from the menu is particularly well done, and the new sounds/music add to the atmosphere. This is a very good effort by Wolf Skevos-Jones. 

John Bucksnort Tribute Set Update
Greg has sent me the latest files from the John Bucksnort Tribute set. Greg wasn't able to complete all the work on the set due to other commitments so he's handed it over to me to finish off. I've had a quick look at it levelwise and it seems that at least 3 levels need to be added. I have 2 from Ariel to add and maybe some from Martin Krysiak so there should be no problem with the levels. I've not checked out the read this/endart yet. I'll post more news on this when I've had a more detailed look at the set. Hopefully, it won't be long before it's released.

Kyle Fisher has made a set of pics from Luke Strauman's 'Area51'. This TC is due to be released very soon.

You can see the full set here.

I recently updated the map files to WOTH II and replaced some of the 3 x 3 square rooms with less predictable layouts. There are major changes to a couple levels and minor changes to some others. 

Dec 2: Assassinate Hitler 2 Demo Released
Kyle Fisher has released a 3 level demo of a sequel to Gary Ragland's 'Assassinate Hitler'. What's there is done well though the levels are not that large. The third level is a revamp of the original shareware boss level but you meet Hitler and not Hans Grosse. There are some source code and graphics changes. Ten levels are planned for the final version. 

Dec 1: Phoenix Rising Project
Due to some coding difficulties, Wes Desjardins has cancelled his TC 'The Thing: Biohazard' and has replaced it with a new one titled 'Phoenix Rising'. Set in Egypt, here are the features:

• 20 levels seamless
• 2 new songs
• New Weapons (Fist, Pistol, Phoenix Staff, Plasma Cannon)
• New Enemies (Mummies, Scorpions and Anubis monsters)
• New Sounds
• New Wall Textures
• New Graphics
• The squad-feature (That was never used) 🙂
• NEW GAME!!

Wes apologizes to those who were looking forward to 'Biohazard'.

Area 51 Update
Luke Strauman has returned to the Wolf3D scene and 'Area 51' is nearing completion. With a week or so it will be released; also 'Sorcerers Wrath' has started up again. Luke is looking for beta testers for 'Area 51'. If you're interested please email him at lstraumann@shaw.ca.

NOVEMBER 2002

Nov 30: Nov 2002 Dome Award
Much to our regret, this month we have no award. This is because there were no new add-ons that, in our opinion, were worthy of being awarded. We hope this will different next month.

Nov 26: Wolf3D: Kyle Style Pics
Yet more news from Kyle Fisher! He's sent me a set of screenshots from his upcoming TC ' Wolf3D: Kyle Style'.

You can see the whole set here.

Kyle has now released 'The Lost Episodes (Revisited)'. There are 4 levels - the 3rd is a large level mainly revamped from a Lost Episodes 3 level - and the other 3 are smaller, though original and of good quality. Graphics and sounds, as expected, are from the original sets.

You can see the full set here.

Joe Robinson tells me his 'Nuke' project is going ahead again. Six of the levels have been completed and a demo will be released when there's ten levels done.

Nov 12: Schabbs Doomsday Demo Released
JJ has released a one level demo of 'Schabbs Doomsday'. There's a number of graphics and sounds changes. Schabbs appears several times and it's a very difficult level to beat. The vswap looks ideal for combining with other 'levels only' sets. Shareware v1.4, but all files are included.

Joe Robinson tells me his 'Nuke' project (announced just a couple days ago) has now been cancelled. Unfortunately, the source code got deleted from his computer.

OCTOBER 2002

Oct 31: Doomsday Released
Here's a shareware 1.4 Wolf3D set with original graphics sent in by Bernt Hansen. Originally made by Brian Larsen, Bernt has made a few improvements to most levels. All ten levels are new and the secret level is reached from the boss level. It's quite an enjoyable set, at least judging from the first few levels, and will especially suit those who like the original game. 

I've replaced the map files in 'Assassination' (see Oct 25) with new ones sent in by Bernt Hansen. As well as changes to level three, Bernt has also made a few minor changes to a couple other levels.

Trapped/Set Of Pics
JJ has made a set of three large size screenshots from 'Trapped'. You can see them here.

Red Alert Preview Pic
Here's a pic sent in by 'The Man Who Knows' from the upcoming set 'Red Alert'. Not everything new is included in the pic.

Oct 30: Starship Troopers Demo Released
The Alien Fan has released a demo version of Starship Troopers. You can get it at Starship Troopers Website. There's just one level and not all the new graphics have been done yet, but there's enough in it to show how good the final version is likely to be.

Oct 29: Trapped Released
JJ has released the shareware 1.4 set 'Trapped'. There are five levels, plus some new graphics and sounds. It has several 'Hans Grosse' on every level and is very difficult to beat. 

Oct 27: Blastfire Update
Fredrik Stjernholm tells me BlastFire will soon have a new site. Also, 'The Fear of Magic' will be remade with new gfx, levels, weapons etc.

Oct 2002 Dome Award Announced
The October 2002 Dome Award goes to Harry Mass Senior for his TC 'The Hunt'. As this is the second time Harry has won the award, Tris has made a special version.

Here's an email I received from 'The Alien Fan':

"My earlier mentioned 'The Terminator' TC has been cancelled. BUT I have something far more cool in mind hehe. Take on the role of an MI SOLDIER. Arm yourself with a morita and knife and set out to kill some bugs.

--Enemies (So far)--

• Arachnid Warrior (standard bug)
• Hopper Arachnid (A Giant Flying Mosqitoe from hell)
• Queen Bug THE BIG BITCH lol

--Weapons--

• Knife (who needs a knife in a nuke fight anyway?)
• Morita (Standard issue)
• Morita Shotgun Attachment (pretty much secondary fire for morita)
• Chaingun (Have fun - that's an order)

--Features--

• Textured Terrain (aka if the planet is desert, you will see desert textures for the ground)
• Skies
• Unlike most Wolf3d games (or tc's as some call them), the monsters will have new coding
• The hoppers will swoop down and try to kill you
• The Arachnids with charge at you in packs (they will be very tough to kill. Like in the movie you will put about 20 rounds into ONE just to kill it)
• Troopers (fake sprites) that stand guard at base for a more REAL feel
• 3d Dropships (level Geometry)

Click here for a picture of an early version of the arachnid (keep in mind it may look better/worse to you becuz this pic is taken in wolfgl)."

Oct 26: The Road To Despair Update
Executor (formerly known as Viper) has sent me an update on his TRTD project. There's also a couple pics from his other upcoming projects.

Oct 25: Assassination Released
Bernt Hansen has released 'Assassination'. This is a Wolf3D shareware 1.4 set with 'Lost Episodes' graphics and sounds. All ten levels are new and well designed. Some of the later levels have pushwalls that need to be opened to get to the exits. Overall, a very good set. 

Message to Bernt: I fixed a few things on level three which were preventing access to the next level. I tried emailing you about it, but the email rebounded. Let me know if you want anything changed. Brian.

Oct 22: Eat At Joes: Original Version Released
Someone pointed out that 'Eat At Joes' was not available on the Dome server. From what I remember, I couldn't get the new version to work but I just posted the original. There's 10 new levels and good cartoon type graphics, plus new sounds. 

Oct 20: VDMSound
VDMSound is free and provides sound support for DOS games. It is for WinXP, Windows NT4.0 and Windows 2000. You can get more info and the downloads from VDMSound. Thanks to Mark Fitz for providing the info on this.

Oct 19: Revival Of Memories Update
All 39 maps of ROM have now been completed, though with work still to be done on the graphics and source code the release date still looks at least a few months away. Hopefully it'll be ready by Christmas!! Meanwhile, Tris has made a new wallpaper design based on the game. 

For those interested in RTCW, here's a German website I found with plenty of new maps, mods, skins and other downloads. There's even a small Wolf3D section where you can download a zip of 'Temporary Insanity' with all the original text files included!! It's at Wolfenstein-City.

The Thing Demo Release Delayed
Wes Desjardins tells me his TC demo of 'The Thing' will now be released early November.

Harry Mass Senior has released his latest TC 'The Hunt'. There are 10 well designed levels (including a secret level). There are a number of graphics and source code changes, but the atmosphere of the original game is still there. It is difficult to beat - there are pushwalls on most levels which you need to open to find the exits - and there are bosses on some normal levels. Lots of action, and lots of mutants!! Needs the registered Wolf3d to play as Harry has left out the audiohed file.

Oct 16: Mr. Lowe's Wolf3D Page Url Change
Due to an 'upgrade' on the server hosting 'Mr. Lowe's Wolf Page', a '/' now needs to be added to the end of the url - otherwise links to pics and other pages on the same server won't work!! The revised url is http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~brlowe/.

Patrick Grey has nearly completed his 10 level version of 'Hitler's Attack'. There's just over a half level left to do (0.65). Release date is now expected to be between Oct 19 and Oct 26.

Oct 13: Adolf's Last Stand Released
Bryan Banfield has released 'Adolf's Last Stand'. There are 21 extensive levels which are quite complex at times. Some keys are in secret areas. Uses Spear graphics. 

World War III: Special Edition Released
The first of two releases from Will Hooper today, this is a revamp of Will's earlier 'World War III' set. All of the levels are modified with different layouts, there's a new title screen, plus there's some changed textures and two secret 'club house' areas. 

The second release today from Will Hooper, 'Redemption' is a new set and has 10 very well designed levels and a new title screen. Although there are some graphics and sound changes (including a new boss), it will especially suit those who prefer the original game. The first few levels are easy to beat but it gets much harder after that.

Oct 9: Galaxy Updates
Here's a message James Ingham asked me to post concerning his Wolf3D site:

"James' Wolfenstein 3D Galaxy is still working, but hasn't been updated for a while. From now on, I will try to do some work on it every week and post the site up once every 2/3 weeks. Sorry about the long time away. This year I have course work to do and I also have a job. It's hard to find space in between this for the site..."

Oct 7: Gottspear Released
Bobby Bucksnort has released 'Mutantstein V - Gottspear'. There are 13 well designed levels, plus many graphics, sounds and source code changes. It's a fast moving set with plenty of action. Some keys are in hidden rooms. Needs the registered Wolf 3D game to play.

SEPTEMBER 2002

Sept 29: MapEdit Project
Here's an email from Andrew Millward regarding his MapEdit Project:

"Hi, just to let you know that my MapEdit project has been renamed to MapEdit HB (short for Home Brew) You can download a slightly updated version at the Wolfenstein 3-D Bunker. Don't expect anything special yet as it is an alpha version. I will be adding a print map feature and a covert map versions feature. I will probably add support for Blake-Stone (like MapEdit 8.4 has) but probably not for the other games. I can't think of any think else to add yet, but if anyone has any ideas (as long as it's Wolf3d related) or wants to see a certain feature, please email me on andy@games-guru.com. I'll probably have to do some more research on Pascal to find out how to do certain things. I'm also learning it at college, and have picked the rest up by messing about with the source code.

Andrew."

Sept 28: Wolf3D Multiplayer Project
Martin Krysiak has sent me an FAQ regarding the Multiplayer Project. It's quite detailed and answers a lot of questions. 

Sept 22: Wolf3d Bunker Moved
Andrew Millward has taken over from Brian Rowan in maintaining the Wolf3d Bunker. You can currently access it via www.games-guru.com/bunker. Andrew will be setting up the domain wolf3dbunker.com for easier access!

Here's an email I received from Guillermo Buteler:

"Wolfsite has another update. It has now a counter at last and the upload of sets has started, but they still can't be downloaded. Also, the Editing section has added the MapTips file, a text file with tips to design, make, improve, and present Wolf3d. This is an open forum so if you got any tips, you can send them to the wolfsite e-mail or use the submit buttons on the Editing section. Updated releases with new tips will appear when new tips arrive. More info on the page and stay tuned for the post of sets and downloads.

Meanwhile, I'm having problems with setting up a Read This! to my TC, Losing An As, please send help to gbuteler2000@yahoo.com.ar. Once this problem is solved the new beta (v0.99b) will arrive."

Dome Award Announced
This month's Dome Award (Sept 2002) goes to Wolf Skevos-Jones for his 21 level TC 'Castle Totenkopf'. The levels are very well designed. There's also a good blend of new graphics and sounds with some from 'Lost Episodes', plus source code changes. All files are included. Congratulations, Wolf!!

It was Spear Of Destiny's 10th anniversary on September 18 and it's mentioned on John Romero's site at http://rome.ro/.

Hitler's Attack Update
Patrick Grey tells me the 10-level release of Hitler's Attack' might be September 28, but may not be till October 5. Only 1 map is left to do. After the full version is done, another TC is planned called 'Revenge Of Adolf'. It'll have 60 levels that follow the same story as the original Wolf-3D.

Sept 20: New Add-ons
Ross Williams, who created 'Day Of The Chaingun', will be releasing 2 new addons for Wolf 3d. They are:

Screenshots will be available soon.

Tris has taken a number of pics from our upcoming TC. One of them is shown below...

You can see more here.

Sept 14: Upcoming TC/New Site
Wes Desjardins is making a new TC called 'Operation: OrinTrigger'. His earlier TC 'Operation:MDK' won't now be updated. Also, Wes now has a Wolf3D Site called Wolfenstein Complex.

'Hitler's Attack' has been delayed again. Release date is now either Sept 21 or Sept 28.

Guillermo Buteler tells me he's moved his site to a new server at Wolfsite. It's also been revamped with a completely new look.

Sept 8: Dome Revamp
The Dome is currently being redesigned with a new metallic look. We hope to include more features which are updated more often than previously, and the news page will be in smaller sections to reduce loading times. More details soon.

Zombies in LA Released
This nine level TC by Wes Desjardins is a sequel to 'Zombies'. The levels are not that large but are well designed and there are more new graphics. The opening level is set outside on the outskirts of LA, but then moves inside.

Patrick Grey has only 1.5 maps left to do to complete the first episode of 'Hitler's Attack'. Release date should be September 14, but may not be until September 21.

Sept 5: Dome Forums/New URL
The Dome Forums have moved and are now at Wolfenstein Forums. All messages from the last forums have been retained. Links to it from all the main pages have now been updated. Thanks to Millward for providing the webspace, and to Chad for the smooth transition. Looks as though everything is working normally.

Assault On Hell being updated
Little Snabes (Jake) tells me he's updating his 'Assault On Hell' TC. There'll be the following new features:

• new starting level for each episode
• episodes 4-5-6 will have all ten levels
• more secrets and more maze like levels
• no source code editing just original.exe
• should be released October ( on Jakes birthday)

Sept 4: Zombies Released
Wes Desjardins has released 'Zombies'. There are 5 levels with well designed layouts, plus many graphics, sounds and source code changes. Some effects are quite spectacular. The first 3 levels are mainly outdoors while the 4th and Boss levels are set inside.

Raw Meat v2 Released
Ryan's 'Raw Meat' has been updated and now has even more special effects. What's there is done well though there's just one level and it doesn't last long. You can get it from the 'files' section at Ryans Gaming Club.

Sept 2: Prisoner 666 Released
JJ has released 'Prisoner 666' which is for shareware version 1.4. There's only one level - mainly a large maze - but it's pretty difficult to beat. One pushwall (which you really need to win) is hard to find. Some of the graphics and sounds have been changed. All files are included.

Sept 1: Castle Totenkopf Released
This is Wolf Skevos-Jones first TC. The levels are well designed with good layouts. There are many source code changes, including new enemies (not replaced ones or ghosts, but full 8-sided guards) and a couple new weapons. It is for Wolf 3d, but it has one episode with 21 levels (like Spear). There are many new graphics and sounds, a lot of them are modified from the Spear episodes 2 and 3. 

I posted Save The Universe - Part One again yesterday after it was pointed out that the original file didn't work. The one now on the server has been tested and is OK. For more info on this set, check out July 31 news.

Steve recently found his first add-on again (made in early 1993, and presumed lost for a long time) on a backup disk and has now released it. Having played most of it, I find it a very good set of levels with well designed layouts. And it doesn't look dated at all! There are ten new levels and it's for shareware version 1.0. You can get it at AReyeP's and MCS's Wolfenstein 3D site (in the 'Other Stuff' section). All files are included.

AUGUST 2002

Aug 31: Future Wolfenstein TC's
Here's a list of Wolfenstein TC's that Ryan de Haast will be creating in the future:

• Returning Evil (Rising Evil III)
• Pray for B.J (Joint TC between me and Wes)
• Simpsonstein
• More to come...

Since the start in January this year, the Dome has had many regular visits. We of course want to keep the beat going. So a renovation is planned. And for that we need YOU! What you can do? Simple. Make an email to Brian Lowe describing what you think should be added to the Dome, or should go immediately away from it, of course.

The reward for this is of course - a better site. No matter if you think your idea isn't good enough or probably has been mentioned by someone else - send it in! All feedback is welcome! We need you to make the Dome better. Thank you.

Patrick Grey sent the following email regarding the upcoming add-on 'Hitler's Attack':

"My first week of school has been pretty good, but I don't have much spare time on school days. I have Monday off, and so do my parents, however. This means I'll probably get about 3/4 of a map done. However, the ten-level release probably won't be until September 14 now. I'm pretty much to the schedule, so there is a good chance that this will be it's last delay."

Aug 30: Raid On Wolfenstein Released
This is the first set of levels by Bryan Banfield and is for Wolf3D shareware v1.4. There's no new graphics but all 10 levels are well designed, quite extensive, and similar in style to the original game. All files are included.

Aug 27: August 2002 Dome Award Announced
This month's Dome Award goes to AReyeP for his his texture library. It's at AReyeP's and MCS's Wolfenstein 3D site. Congratulations, Steve!! The library has a wealth of hints and tips on creating and importing graphics. Please remember to give credit though if you use any of the material.

James tells me his email address at james_ingham@msn.com is now working. His other email address at 'wolf3dgalaxy@zzn.com' doesn't work anymore.

This TC came out early this year and was sent in by Patrick Grey. It has levels made with the Creator program but has a large number of other changes done by Kody Dagley, Daniel McHone and Erran Newton. Quite a good 'fun' set.

Aug 25: Operation: MDK Released
Wes Desjardins has released Phase One of his new TC 'Operation: MDK'. There are 34 levels done (the first 3 episodes, plus some of the fourth), and there are a number of graphics changes. 

Aug 24: New Site/Add-on
Erick Frost has a new site called The Luftwaffer II Headquarters. Not much is working yet, but it should be sorted out soon. Erick is also working on his first add-on called 'The Luftwaffe'.

Progress on Patrick Grey's 'Hitler's Attack' has been going well, partly due to Patrick's parents helping out with the levels. Two more levels have recently been done and a ten level version should be released in about 2 weeks.

Aug 22: Full Screen Tutorial Posted
Ripper tells me he's posted a tutorial on how to add a full screen mode to the Wolfenstein 3D engine. You'll now be able to enjoy the game without any borders!! The tutorial, and screenshots, are at CHAOS Software.

Aug 21: Operation Scorpion 2: The Legacy (v1.1) Released
Tornado has released a new version of his 'Operation Scorpion 2' TC. This one has more new graphics and the maps this time come from 'Wolfen 60'. 

Aug 17: Prisoner 666
JJ's next project will be 'Prisoner 666'. Here's a pic JJ sent me...

Aug 16: Ryans Gaming Club Move
Ryan's Gaming Club has moved to a new url. As previously it covers Wolf3D but also other games such as Bio Menace, Doom and Quake etc. It's now at Ryans Gaming Club.

Aug 14: Java FPS Game
Patrick Gray has found a small FPS shooter game called 'Scared' on 'sega.com' that you can play online. Patrick has provided a url redirection at http://www.scaredfps.cjb.net. Below is a pic of the opening scene.

Aug 13: New Wolf3D Mod
Joshua Monroe and his mod team 'Meltdown Entertainment' are working on a new Wolf3D mod titled 'Barcode Prisoners'. All, and that means ALL, of the graphics, sounds, the EndArt, HelpArt, and the EXE will be changed. Here are the features the full game will have:

• OpenGL support
• Mouse look (side to side, not up or down)
• Custom control settings
• Crosshair
• *MAYBE* a random mission generator
• HelpArt and EndArt changed
• Stealth mode, where you are unarmed and you have to sneak past guards, and when you kill them an alarm sounds, alerting all of the guards in the level to your presence. (This is very easy to do, just have deaf patrolling guards, but don't put any floor codes into that level)
• Body Armor
• Different Ammo Types
• 7 weapons: Lead pipe, Pistol, Hardballer (Magnum), AK47 Assault Rifle, MK4 Minigun, Throwing knives and Shotgun

Some screenshots will be released soon. Thanks Joshua for all that info, and good luck with the mod.

Progress on Patrick Grey's 'Hitler's Attack' has been slow (just a half level map completed in a week). The 10 level version is not now expected for another 5 weeks.

Aug 12: James Ingham Email Change
James tells me his e-mail address 'webmaster@wolf3dgalaxy.zzn.com' is not in use any more and 'jamez_ingham@msn.com' is temporarily not in use. A new address will be posted in a few days.

CHAOS Software have released their second Wolfenstein 3D coding tutorial "Outside atmosphere", which allows you to have a star sky with optional falling rain or snow. This makes it possible to create really nice outdoor scenes!

Visit CHAOS Software for more screenshots and the tutorial!

Aug 10: Polish Vswap Editor
Kuki has sent me a Polish VSWAP editor. It can't modify objects, but for wall editing it's far better than Wolfedit, because it has some cool filters, rectangle drawing tools and a clipboard. And it can also play sounds, though you can't modify them. It's not compatible with Vswap's previously edited with Floedit. It's called W-EDIT v.1.2 and dates from 1995.

On a different note, Kuki tells me that the language used in the 'Weird Map Editor' (see Aug 6) is 'Slovak'. Thanks for the info Kuki.

WolfSite Updated
Wolfsite (maintained by Guillermo Buteler) has been updated recently and features levels and links, plus details of Guillermo's add-ons. Further modifications are also underway, including a page on level design and more add-on downloads.

Burgerstein Released
Ross Williams has released a new shareware v1.4 set called 'Burgerstein'. Characters are replaced with burgers, hotdogs and soda cups. There are seven new levels. All files are included.

Area 51 Renamed
Wes Desjardins next add-on 'Area 51' (see Aug 5) is to be renamed, maybe to 'Area 511'. It was pointed out that Luke Strauman has already used the title 'Area 51' in one of his add-ons.

Aug 6: Weird Map Editor
Millward sent me a really weird version of 'Mapedit' he found recently. The map and object definitions plus some other instructions are in another language, maybe an East European one. It's an early version of Mapedit but it works, at least with the full version. 

Following several complaints about the number of creator made add-ons we've posted recently, we've decided not to accept any more 'maps only' games made with the program. Any add-ons with creator made maps that have a substantial number of other changes will continue to be considered.

Aug 5: Upcoming TC's
Wes Desjardins is currently working on a new TC called 'Area 51'. Another TC is planned later with Ryan de Haast called 'Pray For BJ'.

Aug 3: GORE Released
This shareware 1.4 set by Ross Williams has 7 new well designed levels. Set in the future, there's a number of new graphics not seen elsewhere, new sounds and many title screen changes. All files are included. 

Sixty new levels made with the Creator program by Patrick Grey. As with other map sets made with Creator they are predictable but OK. Needs the registered set to play.

Eight well designed levels by Paul Rawski (SilverIce). There's a number of new graphics and sounds not seen elsewhere, plus title screen changes. The storyline is set in Seattle, 1995 - you can read more in the enclosed text file. Don't put 'Mapedit' in the same folder or the files will corrupt. All files are included.

Aug 2: Hitler's Attack Update
Patrick Grey tells me just one new level has been added during the last couple weeks, but a ten level update should be ready within a month.

JULY 2002

July 31: Day Of The Chaingun Released
Ross Williams has released his shareware v1.4 add-on Day Of The Chaingun. There are six new levels, plus a number of graphics not seen elsewhere. There's also many title screen changes. The levels are well designed and of a fair size though not extensive.

Also available are two of Ross's earlier shareware v1.4 add-ons:

• Save The Universe - Part One
• Save The Universe - Part Two

These 2 add-ons have 8 levels each, and the design is OK, though not as well developed as in 'Day Of The Chaingun'. Both also have a number of graphics not seen elsewhere, plus changes to the title screens. All 3 add-ons have 'all files included'.

Ross has a website called Rossweb Index and News. Check out 'Ross's Editing Site' which has info, links and pics on Wolf3D and some later id games.

DarkOne has released a new version of 'NewWolf'. It's available from his site called NewWolf - Wolfenstein 3D For OpenGL. Also available are several utilities including 'IMF Tools' (for adding sounds), and a colour palette convertor.

Gottspear Update
Bobby Bucksnort tells me the levels are all done for 'Gottspear', all that remains is some final editing of object placements on some of the maps and a testing session. It's estimated at 10 days or less to the release date. Meanwhile there's a read me file available which will be included with the TC. 

July 29: The Blitzkrieg Screenshot
Zach sent me the following screenshot from his latest TC 'The Blitzkrieg'. Also, he'd like to remind everyone that 'PV' is NOT cancelled.

July 28: Scarystein (v2.0) Released
JJ has released a new TC version of 'Scarystein'. Changes include new ceiling colours, episode names and extra ammo/health, plus there's a challenging new Christmas level on episode two. 

Here's an email received today from Sam:

"Howdy

I have a new section on my site called 'The Dumbsmack'. Please visit it. It is pretty much just my friends (and, every once in a while, me) doing stupid crap. If you have any ideas for us to do, please email me at Samiam5446@msn.com or e-mail the Dumbsmackers at Dumbsmack12@yahoo.com.

By the way, Castle of Doom is almost finished. Give me some time to send it to Brian over here, and you will get a lot of castle and doom.

Sam Feichter"

Shadows Of Despair Released
Wes Desjardins has released his 30 level TC 'Shadows Of Despair'. There are 30 levels. Though mostly made with the creator program, some have since been re-edited. Some source code changes, new title screen, and imported graphics. Some graphics are from 'Lost Episodes'.

The Invasion Released
Here's another set of maps made with the creator program by Patrick Grey. The levels are obviously predictable but they're not too bad. Bosses have been kept to a minimum. Needs the registered set to play.

July 27: Floedit v2.0 Started
Flo tells me he's started work on a new 'Floedit' version. New features should include:

• IMF playback
• EndScreen AND Font editing (=100% of VGAGRAPH decoded!)

Already released with FE 1.99 alpha are:

• Fixed brown-to-black bug in map bmp/printed map
• Window now resizeable

Flo's site is at Wolfnode.

Dome Award July 2002 Announced
The July 2002 Dome Award goes to Martin Krysiak for his TC 'Zero Hour'. Not only are there lots of good graphics and source code changes but the quality of the levels is good too. 

July 23: Nat_W3d v1.4 Released
Andy Nonymous sent this 1.4 version of the 'Nat_W3d' add-on released yesterday. Andy tells me that the author was Nathaniel Rudiak-Gould. The story behind these levels is that they were "withdrawn" from circulation after Apogee asked that people don't edit the shareware version (see FAQ v.4.20). Nat later included these levels in his famous 'Temporary Insanity' levels. Needs s/ware Wolf3d v1.4 to play.

Ryan de Haast tells me the following links on his Wolfenstein Cabin site have now been fixed:

• Rising Evil TC
• Rising Evil Map Editor
• Rising Evil Source Code

July 22: Sword Of Light Released
Wes Desjardins who made 'Astrostein 2525' has now released the TC Sword Of Light. It has Spear graphics/sounds and 19 new levels. The first is quite mazy. The layout of most other levels includes a lot more rooms and the quality is good.

I received this email today from Ryan:

"I won't be busy with Wolfenstein, my site, and my project because at the moment I've got to do some heavy studying. My final and prelim exams are just around the corner and I need to pass them, so the creating of 'Double Trouble' has currently been put on hold, until the end of November.

Ryan de Haast"

Nat_W3d Released
First of two shareware sets sent in by Patrick Grey, both date from 1992 but have not been available on The Dome before. This one Nat_W3d has 10 very extensive levels and they are well designed. For those who like mazes, there's a pretty large one on the secret level. The author is Nathaniel Rudiak-Gould. Needs s/ware Wolf3D v1.0 to play.

Here's an email from Ryan Steinbruner regarding beta testing:

"I need some people to test Raw Meat version 2...

It will have:

• 1. a lot more graphics
• 2. ALL new sounds.
• 3. ALL new enemys and bosses.
• 4. new music.
• 5. crosshair.
• 6. will have all 6 episodes (does not mean 60 maps)!
• 7. new ending.
• 8. a READTHIS (maybe)!
• 9. doors open and close different!
• 10. backround image on menu.
• 11. pc13 screen is in full screen.
• 12. a better status bar.
• 13. only 1 animated object (using 8 frames)!
• 14. chainsaw.
• 15. people (not enemy's) walking around!"

Thanks Ryan for the info. Please email Ryan at wolf3d_boy@yahoo.com if you want to help out.

New11 Released
The second of the two shareware sets sent in by Patrick Grey, this one is by 'Ideas From The Deep' and is called New11. There are 9 levels. What's there is done well but many of the levels could be developed further. Check out the enclosed read me file before running the game. Needs s/ware Wolf3d v1.1 to play.

July 21: Scarystein Released
JJ has released a 5 level demo of 'Scarystein'. There's a new nasty looking Hans Grosse and there's other graphics and sounds changes. I helped with some of the levels. Needs the registered set to play.

July 20: Hitler's Attack Progress
Patrick Grey tells me his 'Hitler's Attack' add-on is progressing slowly but it's not been cancelled. Five maps are done (including the three in the demo). It'll be updated at the 10 level mark which should be in about three weeks.

It'll then be updated every time 10 more levels are completed.

Astrostein 2525 Released
This TC was sent in by Ryan de Haast and is by Wes. Some graphics are from the 'Astrostein: 3 Level Demo' by Bruce Ryder but there are far more levels here (twelve). There's a lot of decoration though on some levels there's just a few large rooms.

July 19: Operation Scorpion II: The Legacy Reposted
Patrick Grey has kindly pointed out that the zip posted on July 16 didn't work. I've now reposted the set and hopefully this time it will be OK.

JJ sent me a Desktop Theme which includes a screenshot from the upcoming add-on 'Scarystein'. The add-on has 2 levels and a number of graphics finished thus far. Here's a pic I made from the opening level.

July 16: Operation Scorpion II: The Legacy Released
Tornado sent me his new TC 'Operation Scorpion II: The Legacy'. There are some new wall designs and other graphics, plus some sounds and source code changes. The levels come from my 'Wolfbel2' set but they blend well with what's new. Further changes to the 'vswap' are planned.

Dan86 sent me the following email:

"I have a new game design idea that I would like to see put into action. I would like to have the option of choosing the whether the player can be a good guy or a nazi. If the player chose nazi, the enemy would then be the emanciated prisoners roaming throughout the castle. Call it 'Stalag 13' or maybe 'TFS' (redo).

I guess the purpose of this game would be to destroy as many of the prisoners as possible.

Dan."

July 14: Zach Grounded
Here's an email Tris received from Zach Higgins.

"I've got some bad news. I recently received my second semester report card and frankly my dad hated it. In fact my dad has me grounded from the PC for 9 weeks!!!!! Even more, in fact I'm not even supposed to be on now. So you won't hear from me until 9-15-02 <SIGH>

Take Care,

Zach"

July 13: Dobaysoft's Wolf3D Level Pack Released
This suite of maps sent in by Patrick Grey has 9 new levels (e1l1 thru e1l5, e2l1 thru e2l3 and e3l1). They are by Dobaysoft. The level quality is mostly very good, though there are times when an odd wall looks out of place. Coding tricks like invisible doors and guard statues have been used on some levels.  Needs the registered set to play.

JJ sent me a pic from the upcoming add-on Scarystein.

July 12: BJ Sprites
Zach Higgins has sent a set of 8 BJ sprites for use with the multiplayer game. There's only the standing ones but they look good. Here's the first of them...

Zach Higgins has started on a new add-on called 'The Blitzkrieg' (this is only the working title - it will more than likely be changed soon). Modifications made so far are basic as Zach is concentrating on levels this time. Three have been made so far. A demo may be released at the ten level mark. Here are some early screenshots.

July 11: Mazestein3D Updated
JJ has released an updated version of 'Mazestein3D'. There are now 10 levels - 9 are large mazes and the other one (the 4th) is a large open level with several bosses. Includes the new BJ and Boss from the original version. Needs the registered set to play.

Patrick Grey's Funpack Updated
Patrick's Funpack now includes 'Hitler's Attack', as well as his 4 earlier sets. 

July 10: Uploading Problems
During the last couple days I've had problems uploading files to the Dome server (very slow loading times). It seems to be OK now and most of the backlog resulting from it has now been posted.

Zero Hour: Phase II (Final) Released
Martin Krysiak has released the final version of his 'Zero Hour' TC. There are now 19 levels, more new graphics and the Death Knight added. Martin would like to thank Kuki, Brian Rowan, MCS, Steve, Tris, Zach and others who helped out. 

Cheats/Extras Section
Most of the broken links in this section have now been fixed. 'The Master's Guide to Wolf 3D' in particular, is now available again. 

Hitler's Attack (v1.0) Released
Three level demo version of Patrick Grey's first TC. Eventually there will be 60 levels. No new graphics yet but there are ceiling colour and episode name changes.

Sam Feichter/Doom And Wolf
Here's the latest news from Sam:

"Ok, let's get right down to the point.

I am done with a new project, The Castle of Doom (Nothing to do with the Doom series), but, I am NOT releasing it until the 2nd episode of Gorenstein 2 is completed. The 2nd episode, The SS Headquarters, will be a step up in difficulty. Therefore, it goes up, until finally, the final episode, in the hardest adventure in Gorenstein 2, Castle Gorenstein.

Sam

(Also, after Gorenstein 2, episode 2 is done, I will be going back to DooM for a couple months, then back to wolf for Episode 3. This sounds too much like Star Wars.)".

July 7: Encounter Released
Sixty levels from Patrick Grey made with the creator program. The level design is obviously fairly predictable but the quality is reasonable. Bosses have been kept to a minimum. Needs the registered set to play.

Mazestein3D Released
Three new levels, and a new BJ and Boss from JJ. There are 2 large mazes, plus a third level where you meet BJ. Needs the registered set to play.

CounterWolf Released
Sent in by A. Nonymous, this TC dates from last year. I'm not sure who made it. There are twenty new levels plus many new wall designs, other graphics, source code changes and title screen. Quite effective, and difficult to play at times!! Here's a pic I made from the opening level...

July 6: New Wolf3D Yahoo Club
This new Wolf3D Club on Yahoo Groups is run by Adam Davison. Here is its banner.

Wolf Extra Special Version
There's a special version of Paal Olstad's 'Wolf-Extra'. It has 24 levels, and although they come from the original, there's 4 keys this time and a new EXE. You can get it from Poet's Wolfenstein Page. For copyright reasons, Paal has left out the original AUDIO files which you have to supply from the registered set.

Cheats/Extras Section Updated
This section has now been updated to include things like screensavers, maps and midi files etc. It's at Cheats/Extras. I know some of the links to other sites don't work at the moment. Any still not working in a few days will be removed.

July 4: Domination: Special Edition Posted
This version of Barry Christian's 3rd set was sent in by A. Nonymous. It's the 'Special Edition' and has 28 consecutive levels, a changed music order and a new title screen. 

July 3: Patrick Grey's Wolf-3D and Spear Funpack!!!
This zip contains Patrick's four sets he's made for Wolf-3d/Spear. The sets are:

• Hitler's Resurrection (Wolf-3d)
• Trickstein (Wolf-3d)
• Hitler's Worst Hour (Wolf-3d)
• Ultimate-Evil (Spear)

All 4 sets have 5 new levels, and need the corresponding registered set to play. This means you have 20 new levels!! 

July 1: Ultimate-Evil Released
This is Patrick Grey's fourth set of maps but this time they're for Spear. There are four normal levels, plus a difficult to find secret level. They're not that large but are well designed. Needs the registered Spear set to play.

JJStein - Act IV: Dungeons Of Death Released
This latest shareware v1.4 set by JJ has no totally new maps but level one has been modified and there's many new guards. There's a lot of graffiti and beware of the SS - one of them is not who he seems! 

JUNE 2002

June 30: Spear Desktop Theme
Kuki sent me a Spear Desktop Theme package. There are several available for Wolf3D but this is the first I've seen for the sequel (or more correctly - prequel), and it looks pretty good. It'll be added to our extras page soon.

Wolfenstein Cabin Is Back
Ryan de Haast's Wolfenstein Cabin site is now back online. Here's the affiliate button and logo...

June 29: Hitler's Worst Hour Released
Third in a series of map sets by Patrick Grey, this one has five new levels on episode five. Again, there's a lot of narrow passages and the levels are not that large but what's there is done OK. Needs the registered set to play.

June 2002 Dome Award Announced
The June 2002 Dome Award goes to A. Acquinucus for Ragnarok. Although there's no new graphics or source code changes, the quality of the levels are very good. Needs the registered set to play.

June 27: Wolf 3D: Zero Hour Beta Released
Martin Krysiak has asked me to make available his Zero Hour Beta. Please check it out if you wish and report any comments or bugs to Martin at muad.dib1@wp.pl. Details of the new TC were announced yesterday, but I've since played far more of it and I find the level design and the new walls impressive. There are some secret area floorcode errors but Martin will fix these in the next version.

June 26: SpearMP Released
These 21 maps for the full Spear set date from 1994 but I've not seen them before. The author is Mike Pascale and are very well designed. Similar in style to the originals. Needs the full 'Spear' to play.

Sodmet12 Released
This is far more difficult than 'SpearMP'  also released today. It's similar in style at times but there are more bosses and keys are often well hidden in secret areas. There are 12 normal levels, plus 2 secret ones. I'm not sure who made them all, but the first 4 were done by Butch Nordstrom though they've since been modified. Needs the full 'Spear' to play.

New Site
Cory Carr has a new Wolf3D site called Over The Wall. It looks well designed and has a lot of sections including game history, maps, and photos. RTCW is also featured.

Wolf 3D: Zero Hour Beta
Martin Krysiak sent me the following info about his upcoming TC 'Wolf 3D: Zero Hour'.

"Once again, you are B.J. Blazkowicz, and you have to destroy the German sect known as Teutonic Knights. Here is list of features (for BETA version):

• 12 new levels
• New boss: Trans Grosse
• New enemy: Sect Member
• Changed visual look of Officer and weapons

• Added jamming chainguns
• Changes in "Vgagraph" file
• New menu
• Changed strength of opponents
• Changed musics, ceiling colours
• New textures
• Land mines
• New help art / end art
• New demos
• Added new item: weapons crate
• Changed value of treasury

But this is only a BETA!"

Thanks Martin for all that info. Looking forward to checking out the beta!

Operation 88 Pic
Fredrik Stjernholm released the following pic from his upcoming TC 'Operation 88'. You can see more pics at Fredrik's site Blastfire Entertainment.

June 25: Trickstein (v1.0) Released
Another set of levels from Patrick Grey and, as the title suggests, there are a lot of trick effects this time. There are five new levels on episode four, including a very hard to find secret level. Lots of pushwalls and narrow passages. No new graphics or sounds. Needs the registered set to play.

June 23: The Nuremburg Projects Released
An extremely difficult set which Sam Feichter put together in 24 hours. The 60 levels were made using the creator program and there are a number of imported graphics and a new title screen (shown below). There are many bosses on every level though there's a lot of ammo/health too.

The Final Solution (v3.0) Source Code Released
Tris has released the source code for 'The Final Solution (v3.0)'. Please remember to mention it in the credits if you use it.

June 22: Wolf Reborn Updated
Zach has sent me an updated version of Wolf Reborn. This is an alternative set of graphics and sounds for the full version which is ideal for map sets that don't come with new vswap/audio files. Some of the changes in this version are a new status bar, updated graphics (including giving the SS his original cap) and a new, extensive readme (.doc). The map sets are not supplied. I used my own Wolfbel2 maps and they came out well - the original atmosphere is still there.

Spearmpixsod Released
This set of maps made in 1998 are for the full Spear by 'MP Entertainment' (Maarten Pinxten and his brother Roel). There are 21 levels and all are of a high standard. The first looks the same as Maarten's 'MpSodLev' but others are different. Requires the full 'Spear' to play.

Gorenstein 2 Update & Title Screen
Sam Feichter sent me the following news update and title screen for 'Gorenstein 2':

"Hey all! Sam again. I have the new title screen done. I like it a lot. Also, I am redoing a lot of GFX. New Josef Hitler planned. Awesome GFX. Episode 2 upgrade starting.

That is all.

Sam". Thanks Sam for the info.

Project Verdammt Demo Added
James Ingham's one level demo of 'Project Verdammt' from May 2001 has finally been added to our add-ons lists! Although it was on the Easyspace server, the only link to it was from a news item when first released. Thanks to Zach for pointing this out. For those unfamiliar with the demo, it has a number of new features such as increased health/ammo/lives and two chainguns. As the main purpose of the demo is to show the chainguns, the level design is fairly basic (though the opening scene looks pretty neat). 

Hitler's Resurrection (v1.0) Released
Patrick Grey's first set of maps for Wolf3D. There are 5 levels, including the secret one. What's there is done OK but apart from the first level they are pretty small. No new sounds or graphics but will suit those who like the original game, especially with the short download time (filesize is only 4.22Kb). Needs the registered set to play.

ps - this Patrick Grey is not the one who made 'Hitler's Maze Of Death'. (There's a slight difference in the surname anyway but I thought I'd better point this out to avoid any confusion).

June 20: Project: Weltuntergang Patch
Kuki sent me a patch for his 'Project: Weltuntergang' TC. It fixes a bug in e3l3 which had too many objects. The full version available on this site has also been updated. 

The Final Solution (v3.0) Posted
Jack Ryerson has pointed out that Tris's later version (v3.0) of 'TFS' was not available on the Dome. Thanks Jack, this has now been posted. I'll update the add-ons page soon. This version has 20 well designed levels and many are different from those in the earlier version. The new music, extra graphics and effects are pretty good too!

Sam Update
Sam Feichter sent me the following update concerning 'Gorenstein 2':

"Alrighty here's the news: Gorenstein 2 has been started up again. The Klobb is being replaced by the Moonraker Laser Omega. So, the weapon list is: Knife, 9mm rifle, Moonraker Laser Beta, Moonraker Laser Omega. Working on stuff right now. That is all.

Sam"

June 14: Ragnarok Released
This set of maps called 'Ragnarok' has been released by A. Acquinucus and contains 30 new levels (though the first level has a lot of the original one in it). They are quite extensive and of a high standard. There are no new graphics and sounds but those who like the original set will find this pretty good. Ignore the orange sky in the pic - I used a different exe to play it! Needs the registered set to play.

June 12: Wolfenstein 3D Forums
Just to remind everyone that the forums are now at Chad's site. I've just changed the links on the main Dome pages and will try to get to them all changed within a few days. The link is Wolfenstein Forums. The old forums are at Original Wolfenstein Forums, but as these are now obsolete please post on the new ones.

June 11: Sam Feichter Is Back
After a break from the Wolf3D scene, Sam Feichter is back! Here's an email I received from Sam today:

"I HAVE RETURNED!

Gore 2 will have no new source, although I will keep it so you can play it without Wolf. And, when the source is finished, then Gore 2 Special Edition will be released. Also, go to my site to see my new comix and the first official FWWA (Fort Wayne Wrestling Association) site!

Sam"

Thanks Sam for the info. The new comix and FWWA is on Sam Feichter's Site.

June 9: Operation: 911 Removed
This set is no longer available on the 'Dome' after complaints from Luke Strauman that most of it was taken from one of his sets without permission. There was also a complaint about 'Crap3D' (which used Op 911 as a base) though this wasn't available on our servers.

June 8: Gottspear Update
Bobby Bucksnort tells me Harry Sr. is co-authoring the Wolf version of the set as it will feature levels done by him. There'll be music cuts from Metallica for some of the Boss levels! Here's the titlescreen.

On a different note, Bobby's The Mutant Co. website now features 'DoomWeb'. Many editing programs and wads can be downloaded from there.

June 5: New Site
Here's news of another Wolf3D site. It's by Nirvanaron and has the lengthy title of Nirvanaron1985's Super Cool Site of Coolness!!.

June 4: Guild Of Darkness Released
Tetraarchangel has released the first stage of 'Guild Of Darkness'. There are ten levels, some with very large rooms. The level four maze with a seemingly endless number of doors is quite effective. There's a number of new graphics and source code changes. The speed of the actors' has been massively increased and there's a health/ammo maximum of 999. There's a manual (with the storyline etc included) which is well presented.

It's also available from the Guild Of Darkness Website.

Reinstaad Final Version Released
There are eleven levels in this action packed final version of 'Reinstaad' for Spear from Bobby Bucksnort. All are very well designed and there's also many graphics/source code changes. Don't bump into the 'For Wimps Only' sign or you'll get Ubermutants galore! You can download it from Bobby's site at The Mutant Co.. The full version of Spear is required as Bobby has left out the audio files for copyright reasons.

June 2: Haunted House Progress Report
Codetech has sent the following info about progress on 'Haunted House':

Three New Sets Released
Kenny Roels has three new sets on his site. All 3 have well designed levels. There are many new and imported graphics too. (Credit is given where other peoples graphics have been used.) All 3 sets are now 'stand-alone' and don't need the registered set to play. Here's Kenny's description of the sets:

Wolfenken 34 levels, Butt-Kicking features, new pulsating sound effects and graphics.

Dark Dungeon I 45 large butt-kicking levels, Super intelligence features. New never heard pulsating sound effects and graphics. New bosses and new guards. New objects.

Dark Dungeon II the sequel to Dark Dungeon I, 40 large levels with even more changed graphics, sounds, bosses and objects.

All these files can be downloaded at Kenny's Wolfenstein Page too - the download time seems to be OK now. It's worthwhile checking out the site anyways because there's a number of screenshots and other good stuff.

May 25: Guystrik Released

May 5: Operation Murder Hitler Pics
Kyle has sent me a set of 4 pics from his upcoming set 'Operation Murder Hitler'.

You can see the complete set here.

The Fear Of Magic Released
This new 9 level TC is by Fredrik Stjernholm. The levels are well designed and there are some nice graphics. The game has a medieval feel to it - sort of like in 'The Heretic'. Here's Fredrik's description "Instead, of being the usual wolf 3d addons that has to do with WWII, this is a Heretic/Hexen type of a game! You are in the old middle ages, as you fight your way forward, and being attacked by skeletons, wolves, warlocks, and zombies...! Use your weapons; the knife, the fire magic, the light magic, and the wizard wand!"

Fredrik has a website at Blastfire Entertainment.

Wolfenstein3D Archive/New Maps

I found this site on Google and has a lot of info on both Wolf3D and RTCW. There are sections for the PC and Mac. There are 2 single level maps available for the PC which I've not seen elsewhere. 'Maze' is a fairly large level, but has a number of 'guards in a trance' if you enter one area by a pushwall. Apart from that it's a good level if you like mazes. The second map is 'Hell' - it's nicely done but not that large. Read the enclosed text file regarding setting up the maps. The full version of Wolf3D is required for both map sets.

Wolfenstein 3D Archive - comprehensive site for both the PC and Mac versions with info, codes, images, links, downloads, and levels.

Wolfer Of The Decade Award
Today is Wolf3D's tenth birthday and to celebrate, Jack Ryerson has given an award to me for services to the game. Thanks Jack, it's appreciated.

You can read more about the award on Jack's WOLF-3D PAGE.

Projekt Vertilgung Update
Zach Higgins sent me the following update on Projekt Vertilgung:

"The only things left to do in Projekt Vertilgung is ONE level, a few graphics here and there to clean up, some sounds (under control now), some bug corrections, and music. About the music I don't really need new music necessarily but just a new order. I'm pretty sure James can do that but my sound doesn't work for Wolf so I don't know exactly what all the music sounds like. If someone would send me or tell me a site to get all the tracks in Wolf3D (and SOD would be nice) so I can listen to them and decide I would be greatly obliged (not mentioning credit in the uh....credits :-P). I should be releasing PV BETA to the beta testers soon."

Thanks Zach for the above info.

Wolf3D Topsy Turvy
Here's yet another set of graphics from Fred Kenny. This time the actors and gems have been swopped around. There's also some new wall designs. The maps supplied are from Wolfbel3. Requires the full Wolf3D to play.

APR 2002

April 30: Berlin Express Pics
Harry Mass Senior's next TC will be called 'Berlin Express'. Many of the levels have already been completed and there's a lot of very good effects added. Here'sa pic from the opening level.

April 28: Coding Basics Section Updated
Two new items have been added to the Coding Basics page. They were submitted by Kyle and are 'Changing the speed of the Fake Hitler Flame Thrower' and 'How to get no score if you use debug cheats'.

More Pathways Into Darkness Info
Here's some more features added to the upcoming TC 'Pathways Into Darkness'.

• 4 keys
• Land mines
• A NEW THING THAT HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN IN WOLF3D... AN INVISIBILITY ITEM!!! (That's right when you get this the bad guys can't see you.)

Wolfbat Released
Fred Kenny has released another set of graphics for his WolfUSA set of levels (the new levels are on episode three, but all other episodes have some alterations done by Fred, particularly episode one). As the title suggests, there are bats - they seem to be everywhere and come in many sizes. There are also many new vivid wall designs and some other object changes. 

April 27: Sound support on Windows XP
I received this email from John Burnett concerning Wolf3D sound support on Windows XP:

"I've just upgraded from Windows 2000 to Windows XP Professional today (Fresh Installation, not an Upgrade) on same computer which uses Avance AC '97 Audio for Via Audio Controller on the mainboard. I discovered that Wolf3d now supports this, I can hear anything including music under WinXP DOS shell..

I played a TC called The Tower for testing, it started the music throught the speaker. I checked sound in the menu - it showed up - and it WORKS! with Windows XP without any problems. The Windows 2000 seem failed when I played Wolfenstein 3d.

Like I said about BIOS setup - To make sure Sound Blaster is enabled and configure the IRQ to 9 or 10, Address to 220 and DMA to 1 in BIOS setup, During Boot, the IRQ shows 5 instead of 9 on Mutlimedia line.

I hope that you all will find Windows XP could do this. (I've not tested it yet on Windows XP Home Edition yet, but it will work too if so). Any kind of Wolfenstein 3D including Add-on's and Total Conversion's will work with Windows XP. This Windows XP has emulated soundblaster built-in..

John Burnett"

Thanks John, for the above info. And here's a reply to the above from Peter Johansson:

"Really like John's path finding, and such guys need more help.

The best is really, ftp://download.intel.com/design/, leads to Intel's knowhow /design doc site. It's the instructions followed by computer manufacturers / the core of PC development. And not extremely difficult.

Only one remark on "This Windows XP has emulated soundblaster built-in"

The soundblaster Technology is hardware implemented technology, Microsoft as under heavy sanctions by US courts are now not permitted to suppress any other technology.

Ms have essentially never invented or constructed any essential computer tech, just bias'd on the fast development of mass produced hardware / microelectronics in recent years."

GenRTCW Help Wanted
Here's an email concerning 'GenRTCW':

"The project GenRTCW, with it's goal to bring back classic Wolf3D in Return to Castle Wolfenstein has made good progress. We found a way to stay legal without any copyright breakings of the classic game.

But we need more people in our team, we need urgently people who can help on coding on the RTCW Mod source, and we need people who can model 3d things. If you are the one, please contact me at genrtcw@chefmail.de".

Here's a pic from the project. Click on it for a bigger pic.

James Ingham Email Address Change
James Ingham tells me his e-mail address has changed to webmaster@wolf3dgalaxy.zzn.com. It's just temporary for now.

Area 51 News Update
Progress on 'Area 51' is coming along really smooth thus far, including a computer responding door and a new status bar. Here's a pic that author Luke Strauman sent me.

There are more pics here.

April 23: Countdown To Disaster Released
Gary Ragland has released 'Countdown To Disaster'. The storyline is the same as 'Wolf 3D - Episode Six - Confrontation'. There are 13 normal levels, plus a Boss and 2 secret levels. As is usual from Gary, they are of high quality - and they are quite extensive. There are many graphics imported from 'Spear' and also some source code changes such as a different music order and two new keys. A very good set overall.  Needs the full version of 'Wolf 3D' to play.

Help Required
Here's an email requesting help from Kyle:

"Is there an experienced source code editor who knows how to add a Godmode Artefact, and a Transporter? (like in sod 2)".

If anyone can help with the above, please email Kyle at Wolf3dkyle@aol.com.

Raw Meat Pics
Ryan Steinbruner sent me a set of pics from his upcoming add-on 'Raw Meat'.

Haunted House Nearly Done
Codetech tells me that a 'Haunted House' demo will be released shortly (probably next week). There's also news of a new project - the title has not been decided yet - but the story is something like this: You're onboard a huge spacecraft that has an ability to create a gate to another dimension...Your calculations were wrong and you end up somewhere unexpected... that's where everything starts to go wrong...

It will include at least the following features:

• Reloadable weapons (also in Haunted House)
• Weapons heat up (some of them)
• At least 10 weapons (weight limit)
• Weight limit
• Your armor, weapon, bullets, etc... consume your energy (not health), and you can throw stuff away to make it easier to walk
• Inventory (Also in Haunted House)
• + more to come

These features may/may not be done:

• Own buddies to help you fight the alien scum
• Aliens attack the closest one you or your buddies
• Buddies also have a variety of weapons (machinegun, pistol, grenade...)
• "Facehuggers" seen in alien movies! 😀

April 14: Heaven And Hell/New Tutorials Section
Luke Strauman has added a coding/tutorials section to his site. It's at Wolf 3D Heaven And Hell.

Project: Weltuntergang Updated
An updated version of Project: Weltuntergang has been released by Kuki. This fixes some bugs in the maps and an end screen in the earlier version, and has a larger 'read me' file. There is also an alternative Wolf3-D.exe file which plays better on newer comps. For those who already have the TC, there is an update with just the new files. Kuki also sent me an email regarding his upcoming TC 'Silent Assault'. 

Information on 'Silent Assault' - from Kuki

"I'm going to make an addon called Silent Assault. It won't be a go-ahead-and-kill-everybody game, just like most of the addons are. I want it to make the player think. You'll have to sneak between enemy patrols, kill quietly single enemies and hide their bodies to avoid alarm and so on (like in Commandos:BEL - BTW, a great game). I won't probably begin it before June, but I'm already collecting good ideas. Here's some of them:

• new maps, graphics & sounds, of course
• light shading (for walls & objects)
• guards don't see at long ranges, and if it's dark or foggy their seeing range is reduced
• weapons: knife, pistol, pistol with silencer, machine gun, grenades, flamethrower, sniper rifle
• silent knife
• the knife kills with one attack if the guard doesn't know about you
• silenced machinegun (it's heard from some range, but not on the whole floor)
• crawling, so the guards can see you only from a short range
• hiding behind objects (they block some of the bullets and the guards' seeing range is reduced by objects)
• alarm boxes - if a guard is alarmed and gets to an alarm box he starts an alarm on the whole level (or only on certain floors - "alarm floors" full of nazi soldiers ) [like in RTCW]
• if you start an alarm on one level, there're more guards on the next ones
• a torch - you see better in darkness, but the guards also see you better
• no super-hard-to-kill bosses
• new music (new songs, not only new songs order)
• guards get alarmed if they see a dead guard, so you have to take dead guards with you and hide them in safe places
• no treasures [yeah, they're stupid, who will go around bunkers and seek for heavy, shiny things]
• holes and ladders
• many outside levels
• some of the doors don't close automatically
• some of the doors opening like in Ken's Labirynth
• speed reduced if you're carrying heavy weapons or too much ammo
• you can throw away a weapon or ammo to move faster
• running allowed only for short distances
• Panzerfaust soldiers
• nazi snipers
• dogs are more dangerous
• kicking
• exploding barrels
• light switching on and off (when the lamps are on there's really more light in the bunker, so the guards can see better and so does the player)
• pointer appears after you press some key (or you can have it all the time)
• some short movies (???)
• medals for completing mission with good stats
• some useful items can be found in parachute drops
• you can carry exploding barrels (used as bombs)
• you have to reload weapons
• you can find some nazi clothes and dress into them - enemy won't attack you
• rats
• you can get to a stationary Heavy Machine Gun and kill enemies having a lot of ammo (like in RTCW)
• snow, desert and forest environment
• improved aiming system (you won't shoot at the guy who is nearest but at the one you're really aiming at)
• a little improved AI (yeah, there's no AI in Wolf, so it won't be hard to improve it :-))
• guards won't come close to you when you're using a flamethrower (it has limited range of course)
• landmines
• maybe trucks if that guy who made them allows me to use them
• enemies killed with a flamethrower don't die in the standard way, but they burn
• gas mask
• civilians
• you can throw the knife (?)
• friendly guys (???)

If you have some other ideas, please mail me, but I want SA to be rather realistic, so no force-fields, holowalls, teleports, etc. are allowed.

Kuki"

Thanks Kuki for the above info. Brian.

MCS' Coding Tips!
MCS has a new section on the AreyeP/MCS Site called MCS' Coding Tips. It has some lesser known information not generally found on other tutorial sites. As well as tutorials, there's also info on compiling the code.

Email From Ripper
Ripper (of Chaos-Software) sent me the following email:

"I'm the only active member of Chaos-Software right now and after five months of inactivity I've begun to work on our project again. The result is a public test version including the following features:

• Fullscreen mode
• Lightshading (based on FLO's lightshading algorithms)
• Respawning (5th difficult level)
• Floor and ceiling textures
• Star sky with a moon
• Snow and rain

The maps don't really fit to the engine (they are the one's of Operation Zusammenkunft) but this packages' intention is just to show the world a small piece of what is possible 😉

I'd be very happy, if you could mention something about this on your news page and refer to our site: http://www.chaos-software.org.

There the test version is available for download 🙂

Thanks, greets and enjoy this test version ;D

Ripper"

Thanks Ripper for the above info - Brian.

April 13: Monthly Dome Award Announced
This months Dome Award has gone to Jack Ryerson for his outstanding TC 'Chemical Warfare'.

Ryan de Haast News
Here's an email I received from Ryan de Haast.

"Hello everyone - firstly, it will be sometime before my site is updated and fully running.

Secondly, the features for my next up and coming add-on called "Double Trouble" are:

• Spear of Destiny engine
• Collapsable Columns
• New Enemies (Forest Guard; Aero drone clone)
• New bosses
• 21 New levels
• New graphics
• New doors + door frames
• 6 New keys
• New Weapons
• Much more...(Still busy with)

Thirdly, I'm currently busy with the graphics and will be starting with the coding as soon as possible, here's how far I am with the graphics:

Weapons - 100%
Enemies - 10%
Sprites - 12%
Walls - 10%
Menu Graphics - 2%

Fourthly, a friend of mine, that goes by the name of Chris Waugh has started his first add-on called the "German Invasion". Here's the basic storyline in it:

It's the 1940's and Churchill has been captured by the SS. Your mission as Jack Micheals is to destroy and wipe out the underground bunker of the Gestapo and get Churchill out of there before the Germans take over Britain."

Thanks Ryan for the above info. Ryan's site is the Wolfenstein Cabin.

April 7: Chemical Warfare Released
Jack Ryerson has released his TC 'Chemical Warfare'. There are more than 40 very well designed levels which loosely follow the plot of episode four. Some graphics are from other TC's and there are many source code changes, but 'Chemical Warfare' retains the atmosphere of the original game very well. 

Gary Ragland/Upcoming TC
Gary Ragland sent me the following info on his upcoming TC.

"It's going to have 13 levels, plus a boss level (featuring The General), and 2 *really* well-hidden secret levels. Its sort of like what 'Countdown To Disaster' was supposed to be, just a little less grandiose. All I did with the new EXE was allow for continuous level flow, 4 keys, and changed ceiling colors, music order and par times... nothing fancy.

One thing a little different here is that the levels are HUGE (almost all go for the full 64x64) ... helped out by the use of 2 more keys. Most of my previous levels were pretty compact, even on 'Schabbs 2000', so it's a slight change of pace. One of 'em took me over 10:00 to beat... and I was the one who made it! Other than that, it's just a regular 14-level add-on with its own EXE.

I'm finished with everything except one regular level, and the two secret levels; I should definitely be done by the end of April. I sent Chokster the levels for a little testing."

Thanks Gary for the above info, and good luck with the TC!!

Bobby said "People have posted at the club and their messages have not been put on the board. I have posted several myself and they were not put up. I am thinking about a message board or other possible ideas."

April 2: Wolf3D Texture Library
Steve Walley has started a 'Wolfenstein 3D Texture Library'. It has only very limited content at the moment, but it's a small taste of what's to come.

Steve hopes to add a range of tutorials and freely available pre made graphics to it over time so that it becomes a decent resource for those looking to move away from the original Wolf graphics (thereby helping to escape the attention of id software should people aspire to make a 'total conversion').

The Texture Library is located at MCS' and Steve's website http://www.areyep.com.

"Here's an update on 'Projekt Vertilgung': There are only a few levels to go and graphics are basically complete. Just some touching up here and there to do. Sounds are a different matter. Right now all I really need is a glass breaking sound (that I don't have to edit because neither James or I have the ability or software to do it ourselves.)"

If anyone wants to help out, Zach's email is WolfenDude87@aol.com.

Icon Set Released
Peter Johansson has sent me a set of Wolf3D related icons. Here's just a few of them - there are many others included in the set.

Ken Caron tells me 'ign.com' has a preview of Wolf3D for the Gameboy Advance. Just checked it out and they like it a lot!!

March 17: Christmas Of Arielus
Ten new maps by Ariel Castañares and graphics are from Xmas Wolf in this shareware set just released. Again, the levels are pretty good and utilize the graphics well. Don't miss the secret level because it's best of the bunch.

Ryan Steinbruner New Website
Ryan Steinbruner has a new website. There's a long list of links and you can download a number of files, including his 'Pukenstein' add-on. It's called Gamers World Wide.

March 12: Another Arielus
Ariel Castañares has sent me another 'Arielus'. This one is for Wolf 3D and has sixty new levels. Made between 1996 - 1998, there's original graphics this time. The levels are of a high standard and fans who prefer the atmosphere of the original game will particularly like this one. 

If you want to contact Ariel about the game, his email is at spaceraker@hotmail.com.

Yahoo Clubs To Groups Update
Virtually all the Yahoo Clubs listed in our links section have now migrated to Yahoo Groups. The only one still 'migrating' is DHW. All changed links have been updated. Was the change worth it? I'm only lukewarm to it. The new features are nice but the extra ads can get annoying.

March 10: Quake 1 Only Is Back
After seemingly taking forever, 'Quake 1 Only Club' has finally completed its migration to Yahoo Groups and seems to be working normally. 

Wolf 3D Map Gifs
After a number of requests, I've made available map gifs for all sixty levels of Wolfenstein 3D. They can be viewed individually, or downloaded as a complete set. They are available at Wolfenstein3D Maps. There is also a companion page for Spear/Lost Episode Maps.

Missing In Action Released
This six level demo version of Missing in Action is by David Nevin and has plenty of new graphics, sounds and a new title screen. David will be releasing a final version with even more changes later.

Gameboy Advance Conversion
There's news on the Wolfenstein 3D conversion to the "Game Boy Advance" console at ebgames. Thanks to Quinnsey for providing this info.

March 8: More From Sam
Here's another email from Sam Feichter:

" Hey All!

I would like to tell you all that March 17th is my birthday! I will be 15 (Hell yes!). (Happy Birthday to me....). Well, I have been busy, and I will be for a couple more months, maybe until the end of the school year.

So please don't bug me AS much.

Sam".

Yahoo Clubs/Groups Migration
Two of the Wolf3D Yahoo Clubs have now completed their migration to Yahoo Groups and now seem to be working normally. They are:

• SPEAR OF DESTINY FAN CLUB
• James' Coding Club

Two other clubs (Die Hard Wolfers/Quake 1 Only) are still 'migrating' and hopefully they will join Yahoo Groups soon.

March 4: Arielus Released
Ariel Castañares made Spear Of Destiny "Arielus" a couple years ago, and has now released it on the Wolf 3D scene. There's plenty of new cartoon type graphics (mostly not seen elsewhere), but the levels are pretty good too which is unusual for this fun type of set.

Here's some info that Ariel (who made the game) asked to be posted:

"Here I write a few details you asked for:

Creator: Norberto Ariel Castañares
Creator's home: Claypole, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Creation's name: Spear Of Destiny "Arielus"
Date of creation: From 1997 to 1998 (I finished it on the day of my birthday, which is on May 1st)
Tools used: MapEdit V4.? and WolfEdit V?.? (I don't remember the versions, but they're quite old)

Well, I think that's all the game's profile, but I must say something to the people who want to have and play my game: It's okay, it's all yours, I hope you like it, but if you take some of my graphics or even levels, please write down a note in your game just saying who they belong to, just letting other people know that you've taken those graphics or levels from Spear Of Destiny "Arielus".

If you want to contact Ariel about the game, his email is at spaceraker@hotmail.com.

PG's Wolf3D Site Moved
Patrick Gray tells me his PG's Wolf3D Site has moved. Also that Bravenet has closed down, so a few of the features that Patrick had on the old site are gone (i.e. counter, poll, newsletter, add-a-link). Hopefully though, the new site should solve the problems with Geocities bandwidth restrictions.

 

TROS Screenshot
Ryan Steinbruner has sent me the following pic from his upcoming TC 'TROS'...

Click on the image for a larger size pic.

March 2: Project: Weltuntergang Released
Kuki has released the final version of 'Project: Weltuntergang'. It now has six new episodes - each with a different theme - plus many graphics, sounds and source code changes. From what I played already, it looks like a pretty good set!! 

Dome Wallpaper Contest Closed
March has arrived and so has the closing date for entries to the Dome Wallpaper Contest. Many thanks to all those who participated. As stated on the contests page, entries will now be judged by a forum. Results will be published here when I get them.

March 2002 Dome Award
Kuki has won our monthly award for his work on the Project: Weltuntergang TC. Well deserved Kuki!!

James' Wolfenstein 3D Galaxy Back Online
Now on a new server, James' Wolfenstein 3D Galaxy is back online.

More On Sound Problems
Peter Johansson has replied to the following email sent in by John Burnett...

"I read the Wolf3d on WinXP about running the Wolf3d on Windows 9X including ME, let me talk about "Windows 2000/XP Unknown", I've been playing both Wolfenstein 3D and TC's on Windows 2000 without any problem for four months and I'm still playing. But It would not work with sound nor music under windows - if it will work depends specific of sound card what you have. My sound card brand is Avance AC '97 Audio for Via Audio Controller on mainboard and it doesn't support this by Wolf3d. I tried on windows 9(all) includes DOS 6.22, and it doesn't work either. I wish Id Software would update this game to work on all sound cards including new ones. WOLFENSTEIN 3D is number ONE in First Person Shooter Games than all of other games. I been playing Wolfenstein 3D since 1995.

My Other computer has a Sound Blaster Card installed and works with sound and music while playing. Not on new mainboard w/audio controller as above.

John Burnett"

Here is Peter's reply...

"RE wolf3d sound compatibility.

The program is written for the most advanced synthesizer technology out there, the Creative soundblaster.

This or an emulated soundblaster will work.

Don't think anyone is ready to rewrite the code for simpler synthesizer technology, and the remedy is simply... to avoid, as Intel named them "Baby ATX" motherboards, with very few system expansion slots and built in soundcards.

To be careful when buying laptops.

Go for at the least, a medium ATX boards (Mid Towers) with at least six expansion / PCI slots so you can put in, a preferrably, real Soundblaster and some other goodies'n stuff, a raid hdd card is highly recommended as one other instance.

There is no problem to use several different soundcards if so.

The experience of running the Roland GM/GS (included in Creative SB PCI and up) at the Blaster synthesizer is close to irreplacable.

And, don't waste too much money on the "OS", Win32/NT labels.

P.J."

Thanks Peter for the above info. And now a reply from John Burnett...

"Thanks to Peter, I suspected that Sound Blaster is there when I check it in BIOS setup. You called "baby ATX mainboard", I know it means, that one I called "Micro ATX mainboard" To make sure Sound Blaster is enbled and configure the IRQ to 9 or 10, Address to 220 and DMA to 1 in BIOS setup, During Boot, the IRQ shows 5 instead of 9 on Mutlimedia line. I'm Laptop Hater for long time. Because it somehow has limited hardware on those laptop. I work on Computer Place in Kansas. recommand that you to get away any MATX (BATX} with Audio builtin and Grab Real Sound Card like Creative which it has real SB. I knew it was weird on one of those mainboard that had a few expansion slots, But more new ATX mainboards like P4 and Athlon XP now have Audio built-in around everywhere I noticed, This might have 5 or 6 PCI slots, AGP port and Audio controller built-in. It can disable by configure them in BIOS setup and add Sound card to work this wolfenstein 3d depends what kind of brand on sound card has like Peter said.

February 28 2002: Pineapplestein Released

Well, it's finally here!! Pineapples in various sizes. It's made by Daniel Mckone, Kody "Jo" Dagley, and Evan "NEO" Newton. (Evan got his nickname from The Matrix, Dan's all-time favourite movie). Good for those who like fun sets. There are 60 levels made by the Creator program. 

Mac Scenario
Ken Rohrer has sent me a Wolf Scenario for the Mac called Search For Osama. I don't have a Mac computer and so I've not been able to check it out myself.

Feb 2002 Dome Award
Rather belatedly (due to work by both Tris and myself on our upcoming add-on), our award this time goes to Ryan de Haast for his outstanding add-on 'Rising Evil'. Although there were several new sets released recently, this one stood out for its all round quality. Congratulations Ryan!!

Juan J. Alva Message/New Midi
Juan J. Alva sent me the following email

"Hello fellow Wolfenfans,

As you know that even though my site has been wiped out from Homestead because they got greedy and decided to charge me, my compositions are still intact and around. And my friend Brian will keep them alive in his site. I have just made another addition to my already recognized collection of Wolfenstein transcriptions from the game. And let it be known that the copyright of each and every single song belong to Robert Prince, and I only take credit to have transcribed them. Anyhow... I am joining the U.S. Army and pursue a great career in Computers and music, and want you to know that even in the Military I will continue my musical works on Wolfenstein.

My purpose for making these midi's is only for your musical enjoyment alone, and I will continue to provide you with that enjoyment so that you know how Robert Prince knows how to rock through others.

GOD BLESS THE WOLFENMANIACS AND THE RIGHTEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

with great pride in his work and his brother's,

Juan J. (Nightwalker) Alva-Guerra"

Thanks for all the info Juan - and good luck with the new career.

February 26: Wolf3D Heaven And Hell Back Online

New Sam Feichter Website
Sam sent me the following email:

"My new website is finished... sorta.

I only got my new Deathmatch comix up right now, but feel free to take a look at them, and give me feedback on what you think. http://www.fortunecity.com/underworld/mud/100

Sam (Soon to be on my deathmatches are BJ Blazcowicz vs. the Doom Guy!)"

Project:Weltuntergang News Update
Kuki sent me some news on 'Project:Weltuntergang'. Work on the maps was delayed due to school work, but has now restarted. There's 5 maps to do, so the add-on will be completed soon. Here's a screenshot from a motorcycle level.

Wolf3D On Windows XP
Here's an email I received from Dennie Masser regarding playing Wolf 3D on Windows XP. "I was reading your ‘New users’ questions’ when I saw that you did not know how the games would run using, ‘Windows NT/2000/XP: unknown. (anyone?)’ I can only tell you about Windows XP. The games seem to work fine except that there is no music, and you don't hear certain other sounds like, picking up ammo or when you press the space bar. You do hear doors opening and secret passages."

Thanks Dennie - that's similar to what I found on Windows ME. And here's a follow up from Elaine: "I was running Me then upgraded to Xp Professional and if you use the pc speaker sound option then you can hear ammo being picked up and the space bar etc + you get the door sounds etc out of your speaker--but there is no way to get music... One thing I did notice though--on a totally unrelated topic-- I could play rise of the triad on Me but NO GO for Xp."

Continuing with this thread, here's a reply from Peter Johansson,

"These problems are simply due to Microsoft's "automation" of the Windows virtual machine start from dos.

Leaving the user few to none options to start the synthesizer part of the sounds of Wolf3d. I can start XP and ME directly to dos, so it works like 16 bit Windows 3 where you must type win or have win command in autoexec.bat, so it ought to be possible to start the sound card synthesizers. Have personally no interest to waste my time on a "product line" that disables users possibility to interact in processes.

It's only pathetic to see how consumers in practice cut's of their main extremities of interaction while cheated up by Microsoft's attempts to apply super computer technology on simple PC architectures, O.K. if they've done it on IBM ASI machines, but don't think they are ready to spend 300,000,00 $us on each guinea pig out there.

With my Best !! P.J."

And yet another reply, from John Burnett:

"I read the Wolf3d on WinXP about running the Wolf3d on Windows 9X including ME, let me talk about "Windows 2000/XP Unknown", I've been playing both Wolfenstein 3D and TC's on Windows 2000 without any problem for four months and I'm still playing.

Email From Sam Feichter
Sam sent me this email today:

"Hey, all, whats up.

My site is down, thanks to yet another computer crash. I am working on a new one very soon. You can go there to look at stuff, but it will not be updated anymore.

Gorenstein 2 is also erased. I will download a copy from this site (thank God I gave a copy to Brian), and start back on the game again. If anyone wants to help me with episodes 2-6, I will be happy to add them to the credits, and give them a section to work on. Of course, I have to finish this game of Mortal Kombat first....:)

Your good friend Sam"

February 14: Wolftendo Add-on/Pic
Here's a pic I made from a shareware Wolf3D 1.4 add-on by Lars Asplund. There's no new maps, but the graphics are quite effective. The title screen has been updated too.

The Tower Hint Manual Released
Paal Olstad has released a hint manual for his latest TC 'The Tower'. 

Projekt: Vertilgung Hint Manual Released

        Area 51 Pics Released
Luke Strauman has sent me two pics from his upcoming TC 'Area 51'.

 

Sector 27 Demo News
Sector 27 Demo willl be released sometime near the end of the week. The Demo will have nine levels and maybe a secret one. Many new source code changes have been made. Here are some of them:

• Static missile turrents
• More hazards such as steam pipes
• Ventilation shafts
• Security cameras, if they see you they will send out guards
• Increased puzzle feel on the higher levels

The episode takes place in the inner command bunker at the base. You are trying to shut down the communications system so you can have support later. More on the story line will be released in a read me file.

The first four levels are office levels - mostly like the original game with perhaps a puzzle here and there. At levels five through seven is where the source code changes really take effect. In these levels you can not just blast through some areas or you will be completely cut off by the security. Areas where you must be quite are marked by steel walls with signs on either side of the door leading into that area.

When you leave those areas you will know when it's safe to fire your weapon again because you'll pass between two steel walls without signs. Your knife can silently take care of guards in quiet areas without alerting the security. However officers cannot be killed quitely even with a knife. Level seven ends with you shutting down the system. Level eight is you escaping level seven and trying to get back to the ground level. Level nine is level one and you must escape from where you came.

Thanks to Fgkjrujkuejrn for the above info.

February 6: Hitler's Maze Of Death Released
Although it's just one level, Hitler's Maze Of Death is quite extensive. And the only original actor is Adolf himself. The ammo allowance at the start may look quite generous but believe me you'll need it all!! Read the text file before playing as the game can freeze if you let the title screen time out. The author is Patrick Gray.

Galaxy Back Online
James Ingham tells me James' Wolfenstein 3D Galaxy is back online.

Adolf Hitler's Revenge Bug
Having received a missing key query on episode 1 level 5 of 'Adolf Hitler's Revenge', I checked out the whole set and discovered a number of other bugs and some wall designs that didn't fit with the supplied vswap. I've issued a new maps patch.

Peter Johansson has revamped my 'WolfBel3' set with changed graphics and sounds (mostly from the final 'Lost Episodes' set), and some source code changes. It's called The Resurrection Of Pigboy Crabshaw. The different graphics and sounds look quite effective and I particularly like 'the bat'. Please note that for copyright reasons Peter has left out the 'audiohed.wl6' file which has to be supplied from the registered Wolf3D set.

More pics here.

Help Wanted
I received this email today from 'Mynameisnobody14'. Please help if you can...

"Subject: Virgin Wolf TC author in dire peril! Send help and/or women ASAP!

Hi, I'm really stuck with my TC, and I don't have the equipment or the knowhow to get everything finished. I don't have c++ and my laptop won't let me join any helpful groups, so I have no access to forums.

A friend is helping me but he can only do so much, since he's got other things to worry about. Please talk to your associates and see if they are willing to pitch in, or at least post my plight and email address in a forum for me! I'm drownin' here!

I need the sounds for my TC properly converted (I got a problem with my sound programs to clean up before I can download cooledit). I need someone who knows how to replace the title and endgame graphics of SOD without them looking like crap (the colors always invert or something). Also, anyone who can edit text/source code in general would be great.

I'd post this in a forum myself, but again all the good forums are in groups, and I can't join any for some reason. Volunteers will get mentioned in the ending credits. My email is Mynameisnobody14@aol.com.

Thanks!"

January 20: Wolf 3D Chamber Closed Down
The Yahoo Club 'Wolf 3D Chamber' has closed down. I particularly liked this club - it had its own distinctive style - but I guess there were just too many Wolf3D Fan Clubs.

First Dome Award
Paal Olstad has been given our first 'Wolf 3D Dome Award' (Jan 2002) for his excellent Spear add-on 'The Tower'. You can download the set from Poet's Wolfenstein Page.

Help Wanted
Kuki sent me the following email concerning a problem with 'Project Weltuntergang'...

"Project: Weltuntergang has nearly all graphics and source changes finished and there're 14 maps to do. But I've got a problem. My Project is a great memory-eater. Even with all the memory bars (Main, EMS & XMS) full at the start you can't resize the view to full screen, game sometimes exits in High Scores, sometimes you can't do quick-loads, etc. I'm looking for someone who could help solve it. "

Thanks Kuki, if anyone can help with the above problem please email him.

January 16: Rising Evil
Here's some ratios on the completion of 'Rising Evil':

January 15: The Tower Released
Paal Olstad has released his new set for Spear called 'The Tower'. All 21 levels are new, and from what I played thus far, it looks very good indeed. Lots of new features. Here's a shot from the opening level. Watch those light green puddles or you won't last long!!

Although this is a TC, for copyright reasons Paal has left out the 'audiohead' file which you have to supply from the original full Spear. You can download 'The Tower' from Poet's Wolfenstein Page.

Reinstaad Demo Bug Found

January 13: Wolf3D Odyssey Reviewed
'Wolf3D Odyssey' is a shareware v1.0 set that AReyeP made way back in the mid 90's. There are 10 large well designed levels. The various ways in which the guards are used are particularly effective. All files are included in the supplied zip. 

 

Wolf 3D News Change
To avoid unnecessary duplication of 'Wolf3D News' ( I was having to edit 3 different pages - one for 'The Dome' - and 2 for the 'Demon' site), I am now posting all the latest news on this page only. The 'Demon' site has been renamed Wolfenstein 3D News Archive and will be used to store all items more than a few months old.

Himmler's SS Bug Fixed
Luke Strauman tells me 'Himmler's SS' is now working OK. Thanks to MCS for solving the problem. I'll post the set here as soon as I get it.

January 10: Himmler's SS Release Delayed
The release of 'Himmler's SS' has been delayed due to an error code 13 problem, which is shown below. If anyone can help solve it, please email Luke.

Troubleshooting Section Updated
Peter Johansson's series of emails on 'Troubleshooting' has been updated with a new section titled 'Wolf3D Quirks'. 

January 8: Vault Closed
'The Wolfenstein 3D Vault' has closed down. Jack Ryerson, who promoted the site last, is planning a new site on a new url.

January 6: 'New' Spear Map Sets
Peter Johansson has sent me two Spear map sets dating from late 1995, but I haven't seen them before. They are both by Robert S. Bradbury. The first is named Festung, and the other is named Mission One (screenshot shown below).

I found the 'Mission One' set easily the better designed of the two. Both sets have all 21 levels changed, and need the registered set to play.

Spear VSWAP
Peter also sent me an alternative VSWAP for the full 'Spear', put together from various sources. I found the 'Bat' replacement of the 'zombie' the most interesting feature but there's lots of other changes!!

New Wallpapers Added
Three new wallpapers have recently been added. Check out the Contests page.

Project: Weltuntergang
Kuki sent me the following screenshot from 'Project:Weltuntergang'...

It'll be completed early February and probably there will be some new changes in the source, like 1 or 2 new weapons with separate ammo and a motorbike you can ride on.

January 4: PG News
Patrick Gray has added a page to his PG's Wolf 3D site with non-wolfenstein games that are playable with the SNES emulator he posted.

Also from Patrick, his January awards are

• Add-on of the month: 'TFS' by Tris
• Site of the month: 'The Wolf 3D Dome' by Tris and myself.

Wolf3D For Quake3 Engine
A group has joined together to bring back Wolf3D on Quake3 Engine for the RTCW game. This mod will be done in a way that it doesn't break copyrights, but still rocks as the classic game.

They are looking for Mappers, Coders, Modellers and everyone who could be helpful for this mod. If you're interested, please contact: genrtcw@chefmail.de.

January 2: Troubleshooting
Peter Johansson has sent me a series of emails on solutions to problems with running Wolf 3D, particularly TC's, on his machine. These could be useful for other users so I've put them all together.

Fan Art
I received a set of four pics sent in by 'mynameisnobody14'. Here's one of them.

Here's a message from Tris:

The Wolfenstein 3-D Dome Opens!

And you never thought you would see hell freeze over... It's official! Brian Lowe and I announce today that The Wolfenstein 3D Dome, a joint website eventually replacing "Mr. Lowe's Homepage" and "TFS", has opened it's doors at it's domain: http://www.wolfenstein3d.co.uk/. Special attention to you is asked because with this grand opening you can win yourself a prize.

We thought it would be nice to have a little contest. A wallpaper contest, that is. If you have a touch of Monèt in your veins, make (a) wallpaper(s) that uses textures from Wolfenstein. Screenshots of you playing, an edited existing shot, grabs from add-ons, VSWAP/VGAGRAPH images, RTCW images, just think up something. Do whatever you want with your own Wolfenstein 3-D wallpaper to make it stand out, just until you think your wallpaper is thè masterpiece and upload-ready.

No contest without a prize -- if you win, you'll receive a video of Hitler's Third Reich: Blitzkrieg over Poland and the Wolfenstein 3D Hintbook. Plus a secret prize not even noted on the Dome. So it IS worth to enter the contest!

Winning is simple. After we get in at least 30 wallpapers or the contest ends at the 1st of February 2002, it's time for everyone to vote for their favourite wallpaper by mail.

And what's more, there's also a 'Wolf3D Mansion style' EZBoard Forum. You can post stuff there too. Feel free to send comments to brian@brlowe.globalnet.co.uk .

I would personally like to thank all who helped for your dedicated support, criticism, and enthusiasm through the many ups and downs in the development of the Wolfenstein 3-D Dome.

Tris.

There's a new ten level add-on by Patrick not available elsewhere, plus a compilation of Boss levels from the original set. Also available are Doom 2 wads of some Wolf3D episodes and Spear. I made some pics from these. They may take a while to load.

Due to Geocities new bandwidth rules there may be times when the site is not accessible. Patrick has asked me to add the following..

"I apologize for the problem with accessing the site when there is too much traffic in it. I hope to fix this soon. If it doesn't allow you in, please check back soon."

December 20, 2001

Project Verdammt

In other news, my Project Verdammt has been stopped for a while due to a massive bug. The menu's in the game work but when you start to play it simply crashes. I can't really fix this but if anyone wants a go e-mail me at james@verdammt.8m.net. 

My new club

I also have a new club which is actually a group. It's called James' Coding Club.

I finally created a section for the Source Code. Borland 3.1 and the source code files have been posted and there are also links to sites having tutorials. It's at Wolfenstein 3D Source Code.

December 8, 2001

Luke Strauman regrets to inform everyone that Sorcerer's Wrath won't now be completed*, but a demo of his latest upcoming TC Himmler's SS will be ready soon. Almost 75% of the code is already done!!!!!!

If you've any questions, email Luke at boytoy_east@hotmail.com.

*For those who are interested there's a one level demo version of Sorcerer's Wrath here.

Zach Higgins, author of Project Vertilgung has a new e-mail address. It's now at WolfenDude87@aol.com. For info on his TC, see the items listed Nov 29.

If anyone's interested in working on a TC, Ryan de Haast urgently needs someone to create a boss for Rising Evil. The boss has to be a scientist which uses a rocket launcher and a chain gun for protection. E-mail Ryan for more info.

Also, on Ryan's site Rising Evil, he's recently added an extra add-on section for those who'd like to post their add-ons. A number of TC's have already been posted and more will be added every weekend.

Planet Wolfenstein is a new site about Wolf 3D. There are many sections and although it concentrates on the recently released RTCW, there's a lot there too for fans of the original game. The current featured mod is Project Totengraeber 2!!

Fred Kenny's email address has changed. You can now email Fred at babyfweddy@msn.com.

Version 0.3 of the Q3A => RTCW and RTCW => Q3A Map Converter is now out.

The changes are:

• better tips for running after successful conversion
• better error handling

Thanks to [Win]Elchtest for the above information.

December 3, 2001

Michael Larcombe has a new website called Wolf3D Trench. It's well designed and has a number of sections. Not all the download links work yet though. You can find news of Michael's upcoming TC Ubel Eingefleischt (look in Projects).

Michael has a Monthly Wolf3D Award and he's given the first one to me. Thanks Michael, it's appreciated.

November 29, 2001

Zach Higgins has released Project Vertilgung. This version has ten well designed levels (the first episode), and a lot of graphics, sounds and source code changes. A sixty level version is planned.

If you've any questions, comments, or bug reports, please email Zach at WolfenDude87@aol.com.

Spear Resurrection has been released. Here's news about it from Steve Walley...

MCS and I have finally finished Spear Resurrection (it's actually a sequel to the original Spear of Destiny, but we called it Spear Resurrection for copyright reasons). It's available for download from our site at AReyeP's Wolfenstein 3D. It took a lot of time to make this TC, but we think it's been worthwhile.

Also, we're running a competition with it - the highest score achieved by Christmas will receive a collection of original wall and sprite graphics that didn't make it into Spear Resurrection, plus they'll receive a special "editor's" edition of the game. There's a second prize also. Details are at our website.

Steve Walley.

Pablo Dictter has released The SS Gonna Get You. It's a five level set including a secret level. There are no new graphics, but the levels are well designed. It needs the registered set to play.

Pablo has a website called Pablo's Place. Besides Wolf3D, there are many other games supported including Doom and The Heretic.

November 25, 2001

Bobby Bucksnort's next set will be a Spear Episode Reinstaad: The Revenge. There'll be 10 new levels, plus a secret level and the Deathangel level, for a total of 12.

The maps are done, the graphics and sounds are in place. Now all that is left is to staff the levels and put the objects in place, and some final minor tweaks to the source code. Expect it's release by Christmas, but meanwhile you can download info on the storyline.

Wolfenstein 3D Wiecznie Zywy is a site in the Polish language by Kuki. There'll be an English version soon.

There are many sections, and there's a new TC to download called Project: Weltuntergang (see Downloads). It has twenty levels thus far, plus many graphics, sounds and source code changes. From what I played already, it looks like a pretty good set!! Here's a couple of pics I made...

ps - I've since had reports that the above link doesn't always work.

Yellow Jacket's Tavern is back on a new url!! There's add-ons and links, plus an update on a new project called Wolfpak No.1.

November 24, 2001

I posted Scott's Return Of Dr. Schabbs (beta) as it seems it's been unavailable since the Black Hole was taken off. 

Here's an email from Sam Feichter...

THIS IS A CALL OUT!

I need a development team for my new team "Poisoned Snake Software"!

I need editors for my Doom game, Castle of Doom! (ZDoom required) 

I need:

• Script Editors (for ZDoom)
• Level Editors (For ZDoom)
• Midi Composers (maybe)

I also need these for Wolfenstein games!

• Textures
• Sprites
• Levels (maybe)

You MUST send me an example of your work to help me.

Plus, of course you get full credit for whatever is yours. (Midi composers and some script editors will only be put on the full credit list, due to some space problems.)

Any questions or offers, e-mail Samiam5446@msn.com!

Sam

Harry Mass Senior has released Closer. There are five new levels, plus a special secret boss level accessed from the fifth level. As always, there's plenty of action and many graphics, sounds and source code changes. Here are two pics I made...

November 22, 2001

James Ingham has a new competition. You have to give a name to the boss in James' upcoming set Project Verdammt. The best name wins, and you get listed in the game credits!! See James' Wolfenstein 3D Galaxy for more details.

The WEB FERRET program available from my main page has just been updated. It's a useful freeware tool for searching the web, and this latest version covers more search engines than the previous one.

November 19, 2001

Gary Ragland has released ten new levels for Episode 4. This is Gary's first set for some time (due to his college work) but the magic is still there! No new graphics or sounds etc, but with levels of this quality it doesn't matter. Enjoy! Needs the registered set to play.

Two of Nate Smith's sites are back online with new url's. They are

• Wolf3d World
• WolfenCHAT

November 17, 2001

Since Kenny's Wolf3D Mansion closed down, finding downloads for the source code has not been easy. Chad has helped remedy the situation by posting Borland 3.1 and some other files and will soon have tutorials and other info. Meanwhile, some other sites already have tutorials and I hope these will help:

• Wolf3D Realm - Chad
• Compiling The Source Code - Paal Olstad
• Rising Evil - Ryan de Haast
• James' Source Code Page - James Ingham

Zach sent me the following info on Project Vertilgung. It looks pretty good!!

• New title screen
• Tons of new graphics
• Some new wall textures
• First release will be the ten levels (first episode)
• New status bar
• No source code changes yet

Here's a pic...

Ryan (wolf3d_boy) handed his Quake1 Only Club to me after being taken ill with cancer. I sincerely hope he recovers. I don't know a lot about Quake1 but if anyone wants to help me make this club work, please join at Quake1 Only.

November 14, 2001

Here's news I received from Sam Feichter...

Hiya All - It's been a while since I have talked, but with all this stupid homework, I have no time. Well, newly released is my demo of "Heil Hitler!". Please e-mail me what you think of it!

Well, I have made some awesome discoveries!

First, I am making my first ever WORKING Doom II TC! It's called Castle of Doom. It's about the Doom Marine ending up in Hell to save his kids from a giant castle, which has other castles, towers, sewers, labs, and caves within it! It uses stuff from Unreal, Wolfenstein (maybe), Ultimate Doom, Heretic, Hexen, and other stuff. The music is awesome! The opening level sure looks cool, and is hard since you start out with a pistol in front of many Baron's of Hell!!!

Another discovery is one that all you Wolfenstein fans have been waiting for! It converts Wolfenstein levels to Doom! Unfortunately, Doom has only 30-40 levels, and Wolf has 60. You will have to split it up. And it comes with a thing that has the walls from wolfenstein, and puts them in the wad! Now, you can make YOUR add-ons onto Doom levels, and easily edit it using DeHacked!

It's on the Doom GL page on Doomworld under Source Modifications. You need something that can handle RAR and ARJ files, though...

Well, that's all for now.

Sam

Thanks Sam for the above info. Here's a pic I made from the opening level of Heil Hitler. The demo has 5 levels.

November 10, 2001

I posted Barry Christian's 4th set The Six Depths Of Terrorism after noticing that it wasn't available anymore. All files are included. Barry's three early sets are already available...

• WLF3D_60 requires full Wolf 3D
• The Lost Fortress requires full Spear
• Domination requires full Wolf 3D

Pablo Dictter sent me some pics taken from his upcoming set The SS Gonna Get You.

There are several others at Pablo's Place site (in the Projects section).

A new map editing tricks section has been added to the Wolf 3D Disaster Zone. You can also download The 13th Floor (a six level add-on, including a secret level), and there's news on two upcoming add-ons.

November 8, 2001

James Ingham has a new page just for his games and other downloads. It's at Verdammt Software.

I received an email from Gary Ragland today!! Gary will have some time away from college soon and hopes to be able to complete a new 10 level set for episode four. If things go well, he'll also try episodes 5 and 6. Much appreciated, Gary.

Bobby Bucksnort's New Wolf has been released. There are 15 continuous well designed levels. There's also many graphics, sounds and source code changes. More difficult to beat than the original game. Bobby did most of the levels but I did the 13th and final one.

November 6, 2001

Here's news from James Ingham...

I have some bad news on my site(s).

Fortune City think I'm uploading midi files which I'm not allowed to do, so they've prevented people from going to my source site and the frames page on my main page. Please don't mail me about this as I already know **duh**?

The problem should be dealt with shortly.

- james

James has since informed me that the problem has been sorted out. Also, that 14 of his tutorials and many others are now available from James' Source Code Page.

Mutantstein IV (Darkworld) has been released by Bobby Bucksnort. There are 6 new fast moving levels made to a very high standard, plus many graphics and source code changes. Here's a pic I made...

November 4, 2001

Here's two recent items from The Wolfenstein 3D Fan Club.

• W3D mod for Red Faction
• T-Minus 25 days (RTCW debut)

November 1, 2001

October 28, 2001

Fred Kenny has released WolfUSA2. Wall designs and treasures are red, white and blue (hence the title), and most actors are new.

The maps are from Fred's first set Wolffred (ie new maps on episode 3, plus altered levels on other episodes).

CHAOS SOFTWARE has moved!! Also, the Operation: Zusammenkunft Source Code is now available to download.

Neurotic Conversions is a general gaming page by T. Coco. Although he's an active member of the Quake 1 community, there's lots of info on many other games too.

October 26, 2001

Merijn Heijnen's site now has news of his upcoming set Red Alert 2. Also, his add-ons now have 'all files included'. It's at MH's Wolf3d add-ons.

James' Wolfenstein 3D Galaxy has been updated again. Check out the link!!

Ken Rohrer has sent me a scenario for Mac users of Wolf3D. It's called Timbuktu.

AReyeP and MCS have released a number of pics from their upcoming Spear Resurrection TC.

I posted two of Barry Christian's sets - Armageddon, and The Road To Neuschwanstein. They are both TC's and are now available at Easyspace.

October 19, 2001

Pablo Dictter has released a new version of Escape!. This new version has the changed exe taken out, but the maps are the same as before.

As mentioned previously, the ten levels are well designed and in the style of the originals, and there are no new graphics. Requires the registered set to play.

Yet another Wolf3D Yahoo Club has been started. This one is called the Wolfenstein 3D Chamber, and was founded by Red Nebula Productions. You can "Talk about editing Wolf or about other's tc's". Also for those who are interested in Quake 1, there's Quake One Only, which was founded by Ryan.

October 17, 2001

I posted Trial By Fire (by Hatch) as the link I had to it didn't work anymore. This is an early shareware set for version 1.0, and you can now download it from Easyspace Shareware.

It's a good set regarding placement of the guards, and there are many winding passages. The set does look dated at times though with its use of multiple portraits. No new graphics.

October 14, 2001

My main links page is being majorly updated. Several links have already been removed and a few have been changed or added.

Here's news from James Ingham...

"Since coding errors and changes, I'm starting the levels for Project Verdammt again. Some of the reasons are for Coding issues, Older levels had keys in hidden areas and lots of it didn't make sense.

This means Project Verdammt will not be released to BETA testers till at least January and will not be released till Late January.

There is also some other problems (which are being helped with) for Coding, and I may be adding some coding from OP: Zusammenkunft (which Phillip Luy said he would post up or tell me about, but I don't want all of their features).

Also, a Note to BETA testers, please mail me if you want to , but I won't be able to send the game to you until around Jan. But still please ask.

Thats about it for Project Verdammt.

- James"

James can be emailed at jamez_ingham@yahoo.co.uk.

October 12, 2001

AReyeP's site AReyeP's Wolfenstein 3D has moved...

Steve tells me the new site has more webspace than the former Geocities one, and will allow for more development.

Kenny Riley has closed down The Wolfenstein 3D Mansion. This was one of the best designed of all the Wolfenstein 3D sites and will be missed.

On behalf of the SPEAR OF DESTINY FAN CLUB, Bobby Bucksnort has given a Personal Achievement Award to CHAOS Software and their OPERATION: ZUSAMMENKUNFT DEMO. It's for the great piece of coding, and utilizing things not seen in previous WOLF sets (gradient ceilings, and the respawning enemies especially). Also, for the full screen mode.

Lode Vandevenne is working on a new TC called Knochenstein (knochen is German for bones). The story plays in 2042, that is 100 years after the original Wolfenstein, and you are a great-great-grand-child of B.J. Blazkowickz.

There'll be graphic and sound changes and new enemies, but some of the original Wolfenstein features will still be there to keep the atmosphere intact. There'll also be some source code changes. At least 20 levels are planned. A site for Knochenstein will be made later.

Meanwhile, Lode has an unreal site called Lode's Unreal.

October 8, 2001

James Ingham is needing BETA testers for Project Verdammt. If you would like to e-mail him about this then his e-mail address is jamez_ingham@yahoo.co.uk.

Also, to those who have already responded to mail him again.

October 6, 2001

Here is the proof that the town "Wolfenstein" is real. It is a town in Austria situated approximately 30 km from the Czech border. Many thanks to [Win]Elchtest for this info. ps - If you like Quake then check out his page.

Operation: Zusammenkunft Demo v1.0 has been released by Philipp Luy & Andreas Schuler (CHAOS Software).

This is a very impressive set. There are 5 well designed levels and many graphics changes, but also included are a number of very interesting source code changes such as...

• LIGHT-SHADING
• FULLSCREEN MODE
• WOLFENSTEIN JUKEBOX
• FIFTH DIFFICULTY LEVEL (re-spawning)
• CHANGED DEBUG MODE (no longer MLI)
• GRAIL OF DEATH (a little surprise)

There's much more detailed info included in the text file supplied in the zip. All files are included.

Ryan de Haast has a new website dedicated to his new Wolf 3D project Rising Evil. Although it's still under construction, there's info on the project (see story and features), plus links and some source code downloads.

October 4, 2001

Juan Alva-Guerra has released his first Macintosh Wolf3d Midi composition. The tune is from Mac Wolfenstein 3D 3rd encounter (Level 5 episode 2). It sounds pretty good. 

October 2, 2001

Fred Kenny has released a new version of WolfUSA. The wall designs are still all red, white and blue but there's a lot more variation this time. Maps are from Wolffred, ie - new levels on episode three. The actors are now from the original game.

Here's a quote from Fred Kenny...

"In this one the TERRORISTS have disguised themselves as WWII German soldiers.

To mock the good ole USA, they painted the walls with the colors of the American flag. "

As with Fred's earlier sets, the full version of Wolf 3D is needed to play this one.

James Ingham has started a new club called The RTCW and Wolf 3D Fan Club. James' earlier club with a similar name was deleted by somebody, so here's hoping that this one will last.

September 30, 2001

New Wolf is an upcoming 15 level TC by Bobby Bucksnort. Many of the levels are already done, but a lot of work still needs to be done with the source code. It should be ready within a month.

There's a couple more pics here.

Fred Kenny is making a new VSWAP for WolfUSA. This will have a lot more variation in the wall designs than the current version.

September 28, 2001

Bobby Bucksnort has released The Heinmakker Project. There are five new levels and a number of graphics, sounds and source code changes. Bobby worked on this with his late grandfather John, and it's turned out to be a very good set.

Fred Kenny has released yet another new VSWAP to go with the maps from Wolffred. (The new maps were on episode three). This one is called WolfUSA, and is meant as a tribute to those who perished in the recent terrorist tragedies in the USA. It looks quite effective at first, however, as all the walls have the same red, white and blue colours, they can become quite monotonous after a while.

As with Fred's earlier sets, the full version of Wolf 3D is needed to play this one.

September 27, 2001

The Thirteenth Floor is a new add-on for the full version of Wolf 3D. There are 6 new levels, including the secret one. If you like mazes, then you'll like this set as there's quite a few here. No new graphics and sounds but the author plans to update these, and include many other features, in an upcoming set (see the text file for more info).

You can download it at Wolf 3D Disaster Zone. Requires the full version of 'Wolf 3D' to play.

September 23, 2001

Matt Dadi has asked Florian Stöhr (creator of FloEdit) about a program to convert the palettes from Corridor 7, Operation: Body Count, Blake Stone, etc to Wolf 3D. Florian has said he'd check it out when time allows, so maybe we'll have this feature in FloEdit. Thanks Matt for this info.

For Mac users, my Mac/links page has been updated. Four new links have been added, and four taken out.

September 16, 2001

The Wolf3D community suffered a huge loss yesterday with the sad news that John Bucksnort has passed away. John and I exchanged many emails during the last few years and we became very good friends. John loved making add-ons and provided us with so many good ones. We will all miss him very much. My condolences go to John's grandson Bobby Bucksnort and his family in what must be a very difficult time for them. Bobby told me he intends to carry on John's good work, and I feel sure everyone will support him in this.

Pablo Dictter has released one last level for Wolf3D episode 2 called The Last Floor. Though it's only one level, it is a good one.

Pablo will now be concentrating on his DoomCenter site. Good luck, Pablo.

September 15, 2001

Games For Solaris (Solaris seems to be a Russian operating system) is by Vitaly Filatov and has a section dedicated to Wolf 3D/Spear. It's in Russian and English.

Tris has started Neophytes of Wolf and Spear. Hopefully, it'll be 4th time lucky for this new Yahoo Club. As many of you may know, the first three Neophyte clubs were deleted by one of the founders or by somebody knowing the password of one of the founders. Good luck with this one Tris!!

September 12, 2001

John Bucksnort has released the first part of his latest Spear add-on So You Want To Be An Assassin. There are three new well designed levels, plus many graphics, sounds and source code changes. For copyright reasons, John has left out the audiot and audiohead files so the full version of Spear is required. Here's a pic I made, but there are other pics John made earlier.

September 9, 2001

Here's another Yahoo Club Wolf3D BlakeStone Duke!! It's been started by Ryan and deals mainly with the source code.

Ryan now has a website, and it's at Ryan's Wolfenstein 3D Site. There are links, pics, downloads and other info.

Planet Executor is a new site by Viper (now known as Executor). It's not Wolf 3D specific and is still under construction, but there's a lot there already. You can download The Road To Despair add-on from there.

For fans of Blake Stone, Guy Brys has updated his Guystone set and it now has 5 new episodes. You can download it at Guy's Home Page.

September 8, 2001

So that it can be stored on floppies, I posted Cuetips Revenge in two parts, Part1 and Part2. See under Sept 1 for the single zip version and info on the set.

If anyone's interested in the Acorn version of the game, here's what the front cover looks like!!

There's a full size pic of the back cover here. Powerslave released this version in 1994, under licence from id software.

Hellbaron's Doom2 and Wolf3-D Lair is a new site featuring both the games mentioned. There are many sections in each, including downloads, links and lots of other info.

Here's an email from WDOS (now Ion Blade)...

Hello all!

I have got a lot of news.

First, now I'm not WDOS, now I'm Ion Blade.

Second, why I didn't send anything for long time. My e-mail server now can't send mails to Wolfenstein 3D News.

Third, I've done 80% of Operation: Prison Runner (beta 0.10). Previous betas (0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04) weren't public.

Fourth, I need two kinds of help: help with sounds and music, and help with source code: where is code of opening locked doors. My mail: wdos@narod.ru.

Goodbye.

-Ion Blade 

P.S. if wdos@narod.ru won't work, send the mail to ion_blade@mail.ru.

Thanks for the above info, Ion Blade. Good luck with the project.

September 2, 2001

Fred Kenny has released Fredwolf. This is basically Fred's Wolffred set with new wall designs, but the feel of the game has changed entirely. The futuristic atmosphere has been replaced with a fun type one. The maps are as in Wolffred, ie - new levels on episode three with some alterations to the other episodes.

As with the earlier set, the full version of Wolf 3D is needed to play this one.

Tom's Wolf 3D Page is new and has links, plus some downloads and pics. It's still under construction though and more features will be added later. Here's Tom's banner, and also an award he gave me.

Thanks Tom for the award. It's appreciated!!

September 1, 2001

Cuetips Revenge was sent to me by Steven L. Pappas. There's lots of new graphics/sounds, and the bitmaps and wav files of these are included in the zip. There's also a changed exe file. All 60 levels are there but apart from some extra guards in the opening level they are unchanged. Good for those who like fun sets.

I added Wolfenstein 3-D shareware version 1.1 to my 'shareware levels' page. You can find it at ftp.std.com.

Chris Chokan has updated Wolfenstein World Records. For those into high scores and fast times - this is the place to visit.

Andrew Alexandris has released a four level beta version of his upcoming set Operation Kingpin. The first three levels are pretty good, though the fourth one needs more work and may not be included in the final version. There are changed graphics and sounds too. Some are from Escape From SS Prison which I did with Ronny Zeitz.

ps - that new gun is an AUTOMATIC-GERMAN MAGNUM.

August 24, 2001

I've posted Brandon R. Farmer's Wolf3DFix. This is a utility which may help those who have problems running Wolfenstein 3D with Windows. Please read the instructions in the text file before using it. Brandon's site is at Brandon's Wolfenstein 3-D Page.

Operation: Scorpion is a new TC by 'Tornado' and 'Waterdog' (Sniper Studios). There are 60 new levels, though most are not that large. The following info comes from the text file included in the zip:

SHORT README

Operation: Scorpion is meant to be played on the third or fourth difficulty level.

NEW FEATURES:

• New main character: Tommy Eastman
• 60 New maps packed with guards
• New BLACK information bar
• New PC-13 screen
• New title screen
• Various new graphics
• New loading screen
• New credits
• Health in HP instead of %

The first difficulty level is insanely easy.

August 22, 2001

Pablo Dictter is working on a new site at a new url, but meanwhile some of his add-ons are still available at Pablo's Place - Wolfenstein Site. Also, for those who don't have it yet, I've posted Pablo's four level add-on for Spear, which is called Chemical Reaction. The original full version of 'Spear of Destiny' is required.

August 19, 2001

Merijn Heijnen's page is now partially restored at MH's Wolf3d add-ons. Most of Merijn's add-ons can now be accessed from here.

Good news on the add-on front this week. First off is Operation: - Kill BJ by Richard Kelly. All sixty levels are new and are of a high standard. There are no new objects but there are many interesting new wall designs. Needs the full version to play, but follow the instructions in the text file included.

Another new set is 5th by Pablo Dictter. This has five new levels on episode three. There are no new graphics, but for those who prefer the originals - this is another very good effort from Pablo. Needs the full version to play.

Finally, Tris has released phase one of TFS v3.0 TFS 3.0 beta. All files are included.

Tris says more work needs to be done on this set, but already there's lots of new graphics and source code features.

August 16, 2001

Here's a message from Sam Feichter...

Hey all!

I have some good news!

I now have my own website! 

Although I will be posting my add-ons there first, I will be sending them to this site as well, as I get them finished. (come on James, hurry up....)

But, in my news, Heil Hitler! is being edited right now. Episode 1 will be completed soon. Gorenstein 2 is being held back until my source code is finished. (James....)

Here's a message from John Bucksnort...

Effective 8-15-2001, my website url will be http://www.geocities.com/john_bucksnort/index.html. I have been having difficulty with the namezero, folks, because they can't seem to give me email service, so i am doing away with the domain thing for now. Please update your link sections.

Thank you, Tom.

James Ingham would also like links to his page changed. This one should be http://jamesingham.cjb.net.

Even more on page links, some of you may be aware that the link to Merijn Heijnen's page has not been working for some time. I emailed Merijn about this and he said his site should be up again soon. The link will be updated when I get the new url.

Daniel Berry has posted a new Wolfenstein 3D site. No new downloads here, but there's a lot of info and pics.

It's called Mr. Berry's Wolfenstein 3D Site.

August 11, 2001

Fred Kenny has released Wolffred. There are 10 new levels on episode three which I helped Fred complete. All episodes have been included because they've all been changed in some way by Fred, particularly episode one. The graphics are mainly from Astrostein and WolfNuck, though several of the actors come from other sources:

• Guards - Wolfkkk
• White Guards - Eat At Joes
• Mutants - Xmaswolf
• SS Officers - WolfenDoom

The Machine gun is from Wolfnuck, and the chaingun is the WAND from Eat at Joe's. The two lowest treasures are from Astrostein, and the crowns have been changed to the former 1ups.

Credit is given to the authors of the sets mentioned.

The full version of Wolfenstein 3D is needed to play this set.

August 5, 2001

Here's a message from Tris...

Seeing that the previous chat didn't work out the way it should and I kept getting problems logging in - I think I didn't make it in right - I've decided to do a new chat. On Monday the 6th of August 2001 there'll be a new Source Code Chat again at http://www.gebweb.co.uk/chat.htm.

The problems yesterday with the chat server are now resolved, and we have a better looking, easier-to-read chatroom too!

I see that some of you need to get up early, but then... it'll be worth it. Plus you will then have the whole day to get up to your code.

Rules: You are allowed to ask personal questions. We WON'T speak about the deletion of the Neophyte clubs. It's done. We don't have a suspect or whatsoever. It's over. OK? Secondly, you ARE allowed to ask about stuff that's in an unreleased add-on. That's okay. Plus, I'm counting on you ALL to come!

In short:

Tris.

Tris's Neophytes Yahoo Club is back for a third time. It's now called Neophytes Of Wolf3D. Hopefully, this one will stay.

Mrlard2000man has taken over The Wolfenstein 3D Vault.

This is already an excellent site, but if there's anything new you'd like to see included please email Mrlard at webmaster@wolfenvault.s5.com.

Results from James' Wolfenstein 3D Awards 2001 have been announced by James Ingham. There were 7 categories, I won 2 and Tris won 3, including Best add-on (congratulations, Tris!!).

The Best Fan Club award went to the SPEAR OF DESTINY FAN CLUB, while Pablo's Place - Wolfenstein Site took the Best New Wolf3-D Site award. You can see the full results at James Wolfenstein 3-D Site.

Viper has released The Road To Despair beta version 0.6. There are now 19 new levels (12 were in the previous version).

As I said previously, it's a difficult set with good level design and well placed guards. Plays as an add-on to Project Totengraeber.

Here's another set, this one is brand new and is by Bernt Hansen. It's called Fearwolf. There are 20 levels, and although there are new graphics/sounds (some borrowed - see the text files for info), the atmosphere of the original game remains. Apart from the first level, which includes most of the original first level with some extra areas, the levels are all new. All levels are well designed, though e1l3 is strictly for those who like mazes. Needs the registered set to play.

One upcoming set is Wolffred, by Fred Kenny. Most of the graphics come from Astrostein but several of the actors are from other sources. Ten new levels will be on episode three, but Fred has altered most other levels. Should be ready in a few days. Here's a pic I made...

August 3, 2001.

Tris's Neophytes Yahoo Club (see Aug 2) has again been deleted.

James Ingham has started the next version of Project Verdammt. Two levels are already done, and a new one started. The levels aren't like the ones in the old demo, and are a lot bigger. The game has features like in certain levels, certain guards drop obj's like Keys, etc... like on Level 2 the Elite Guard drops the Red Key.

Features:

• Seamless Level Flow
• Read This and Endart files
• Armour Added (* Bug)
• Border colour is light grey

• When you press x, a pointer comes up
• 2 new keys added
• Each key has it's own door to open
• On certain maps, certain guards drop different items
• Tab-G+F10 cheat from Spear
• Edited Floor and Ceiling Colours
• 25 Ammo Box
• New Sprites, and bo_items added to the engine (for people who decide to use my game as a base or change the code)
• Draw Weapon works with 5 Weapons (so when you press 3, it says 3 on the status bar)

James needs help with the following...

* If you press ESC and go back to the game, you can't see the armour status until you get shot.

** How to make the Pac Man's Blockable Obj's.

Also,

Have Explodable/Breakable Obj's.

Make the Pistol a Shotgun, with it's own ammo type.

If anyone can help James with any of the above, please e-mail him at webmaster@extremesoftware.zzn.com.

There are more pics here.

Gmond is building a collection of add-on pics. They are at Aftermath-gaming.net.

July 13, 2001

John Bucksnort's upcoming Spear of Destiny set will feature 5 separate assassination scenarios, source code changes and sounds (some from Hogan's Heroes) like in New Evil. The actual title is So You Wanna be an Assassin?

Pablo Dictter has released a new two level demo from his upcoming set ...And Death Came Along. As with Pablo's other sets there are no new graphics, but the levels are well designed and there's a new exe file. More levels will follow later. You can get it from Pablo's Place - Wolfenstein Site.

The yellow key was missing from level 6 of The New Evil. John Bucksnort has now posted a corrected version on his site, and I have too here. For those who already have the original set, here's a small patch containing just the updated level maps.

Pablo's Place - Wolfenstein Site has moved. 

July 7, 2001

July 3, 2001

Merijn Heijnen has two pics from his upcoming set Red Alert 2...

Hot on the heels of From Schabb's Hand, here's another set by Pablo Dictter. This one is titled Escape! and has ten new levels. As with Pablo's earlier set, this one is well designed and in the style of the originals. There's also a new exe file which looks a little weird with the version of Wolf3D I used, but others have said it works fine with theirs. You can get the set from Pablo's Place - Wolfenstein Site. The original full version of Wolf 3D is required.

July 1, 2001.

John Bucksnort has released his new 21 level set The New Evil. There are many features including some Spear graphics, source code changes, many new sounds and a changed music order. The levels are in one continous episode, and are of very good design and quite challenging. The first 9 levels come from John's Evil in Iron set, the remaining levels are new. Ken O'Brien, Paul Gibson and myself each made a level for this set. Others have contributed to the graphics and a full list of credits is in the text file. You can download it at John Bucksnort's Wolf 3D Page.

This month's SPEAR OF DESTINY FAN CLUB Spear Of Excellence Award goes to Barry Christian for The Wolfenstein 3D Vault. Well deserved, Barry.

June 29, 2001

I just released an Acorn compatible version of Pablo Dictter's From Schabb's Hand. This also works on a PC. As with the earlier version, it needs the full version of Wolf 3D to play on a PC. The new levels are on episode two. Pablo has a website at Pablo's Place - Wolfenstein Site.

Luke Strauman sent me the following screenshots from his upcoming set The Sorcerer's Wrath...

Brent's Wolf3D Headquarters isn't working anymore, but Brent has now teamed up with Kenny Riley to host a new site. It's at liquid2K.com.

Pablo Dictter is making ten new maps for Wolf 3D. From a quick look at the first four levels he sent me, they look pretty good. I'll post some screenshots here soon.

Here's an award James Ingham sent me for my main site. Thanks James, it's much appreciated!!

You can find James site at James' Wolfenstein 3D Page.

June 26, 2001

Alex Gilchrist has returned to the Wolf scene with the release of NewYzSod for the Spear Demo. Both levels are completely new (they are not just YzSod updated levels) and there are some graphics modifications.

You can get this new set from Alex's new site The Wolfenstein 3D YZ Edition. There's also a number of pics from RTCW.

June 23, 2001

I've received some emails recently concerning the availability of the registered set. This can still be bought (by downloading online, and by mail order) from The 3D Realms Online Store. Rise of the Triad and many other sets are available from there too. Most are priced at $10.00 each, though Wolf3D sells for $15.00.

Another new Wolf3D club has been started on Yahoo. This one is called Yet Another Wolf3D Club!!

Operation Endauferstehung is a new set from Esnal Pla. The final version will have the following features..

• 60 new levels
• New enemies and bosses
• A great story
• New title screen
• 2 sequels

There are only 2 new levels in the present version (levels 1 and 9 from the first episode), but the quality of the levels is good. Although there's a number of graphics changes, the atmosphere of the original set is still there. You can get the set from Operation Endauferstehung Home Page.

There's a new Return To Castle Wolfenstein trailer to download. The zip is 14Mb, but if that's OK then you can get it from xxx4life.

June 18, 2001

Viper sent me the following info about his Megastein 3-D series...

Chapter One, The Road to Despair, is coming along nicely. I have 15½ levels done, the ½ being the incomplete Map15 (Prison Admin). Map15 will be more elaborate than many other levels. It has several styles:

Cell area: Desolate and messed-up looking, with gibs on the floor, water spilled everywhere, and wells for P.O.Ws to drink from filled with blood and gore. Walls are SoD Lost Episodes blue stone and jail cell textures. 

Offices, living quarters, etc.

Neat and well-lit hallways with fancy decor. Walls of multicolored brick and the occasional spray-painted graffiti sign that reads "Reid Muß Sterben! (more on that later)" Offices and living quarters themselves may be messy. Higher-ranking officers choose their own decorations in an office, so you may see a cow carcass placed neatly in a corner. Bathrooms have those pretty gray walls that I added. Toilets look like the toilets from your home (this is the future, but not the future future). Probably the best-looking area of the level.

Basement storage

Neglected, abandoned-looking place. Has vines, cobwebs, etc. Walls are the nice dark gray stoner slab texture from Project Totengraeber. Little lighting.

I have decided to release the storyline. Here it is:

It is 2012. 6 years ago, Prof. Wilhelm Uberkopf and his neo-Nazis took over Germany and established a dictatorship. He immediately declared war on every country on the face of the Earth that would not ally with him and World War III began. The Allies have been doing well. Until now. 

You are William Reid, a tank pilot. 3 days ago, you were captured while snooping around the Nazi fortress of Totenhaus (Dead House) trying to collect info on Sebastian Krist's Operation Totenkrieg, It was rumored that POWs were brought from Totenhaus to Krist's labs down a road known as the Road to Despair. At Krist's bunker, they were killed and raised from the dead as three-armed zombies. Soldiers that have died in battle are also zombified. Not only will Uberkopf have a nearly unlimited supply of goons, the zombies attack with no concern for their own lives and fight until dead. If Krist's project is succesful, the Allies are doomed. Worse than the regular zombies are Eisenmanner (Iron Men), huge 4-armed zombies with Gatling weapons in their chests. Capable of taking 70 bullets, one of these could wipe out a whole platoon of regular troops or even a tank!

You must escape from Totenhaus and stop Krist at all costs.

NOTE: 3 labs are in Totenhaus. You must destroy them. They are at Map05, Map13, and Map20. 

The new enemy sprites that will be in future releases wouldn't be there if Benjamin Blaufarb hadn't released them for download.

June 16, 2001

James' Coding Club has moved!!

June 15, 2001

Viper has released The Road To Despair v0.5 beta with 12 levels!! Not only does it have 4 more levels, it also includes more changes to the VGAGRAPH and VSWAP files.

As with the earlier version, it plays as an add-on to Project Totengraeber, is a difficult set with good level design, well placed guards and some new graphics. 

More info from James Ingham on Project Verdammt !! James is working on something in the code which makes you:

• Have the Knife, but when you pic up the chainsaw you can't use the Knife again (unless you die) (Like DooM)
• Have a Pistol, but when you pic up a new one you get Dual Pistols (Same as Other One: Unless you die)
• Ditto that for Other Guns!

Also, James is trying to get the Chainsaw to need Petrol Cans (Separate ammo type) so every now and again you need to pick up a new one (Petrol Can)!!!

June 13, 2001

From Schabb's Hand is a four level set (including the secret level) by Pablo Dictter which plays as episode two of the original Wolfenstein 3D.

The levels are well designed and nicely decorated. The set could easily be called episode two - part two, and would certainly please those who prefer original graphics. You can get it from Pablo's Place - Wolfenstein Site. Requires the original full version of Wolfenstein 3D.

Viper has sent me the following pic from his set The Road To Despair...

There are 8 new levels which play as an add-on to Project Totengraeber. It's a difficult set with good level design, well placed guards and some new graphics. You can get it from The Wolfenstein 3D Vault.

June 9, 2001

James Ingham tells me work on Project Verdammt will be delayed for several weeks due to exams. However, here's more info on what's been done so far:

• 2 More weapons, The 6 are: Knife, Pistol, Shotgun, Uzi, Chaingun, Chainsaw 🙂
• 25 Ammo Box added!
• Main Menu Backdrop Menu (see opposite)
• 250 ammo Max!
• Read Me and Endtext Used!

And finally...

The mutant, is now a drone gun or something (from Sam Feichter) and the great thing is....

it doesn't move but it still shoots and moves around in angels! VERY COOL!!!

Pablo Dictter now has a Wolf 3D site. It's called Pablo's Place - Wolfenstein Site. There are several pics from one of Pablo's Spear sets, downloads and links.

Here's a new banner Jean Morel sent me for his site The Wolf's Stone...

Jean has added a new Wolf 3D Little Known Facts section.

June 8, 2001

Michael Larcombe is currently working on his first TC: Escape From Stutthof. The Storyline involves Pilot R.W. Wright (not B.J. Blazkowicz) who was captured by the Nazi's after crash landing on an escort mission, and taken to their prison complex: Castle Stutthof. There will be 10 levels, just like a normal Wolf 3D episode, except most of the graphics in VSWAP will be modified or replaced.

Other features include:

• 2 New weapons: Dual pistols and a new machine gun
• New GFX for SS and Guard
• Some Source code changes
• New digitized sounds
• New title screen, end art and help screens
• New objects (e.g. toilet, Swastika banner)
• New Status bar and Head for R.W. Wright

For Blake Stone fans, Guy Brys has finished the 4th episode of his Guystone set. Guy is also working on a 5th episode. You can get the updated set from Guy's Home Page.

Luke Strauman sent me this title screen from The Sorcerers Wrath...

News I just received from Sam Feichter...

Hey all!

I am making a new game, which is going to be easily one of the best I have made! I don't know about source code changes yet, but it's cool.

The name is Heil Hitler!!!. It is a three episode game in which you have to chase Hitler through hordes of Gestapo soldiers, rabid dogs, and the new Armored Schabbs!

Also will be Hitler's Bodyguard, which is the "code name" for Hitler's invention of a robot, using those nifty mecha suit things that he and Schabbs (in this game) wear, except that it's silver. Hitler's is still cyan. 

News on Gorenstein:

I am waiting on the source code before I start editing again. I heard from James, the one who is compiling it, that the missle launcher will not work anymore, and that he can do a non-projectile weapon, and he can do the text still. 

News on Hall of the Nazis:

The graphics are coming along.

News on Cowboys:

I cancelled this project.

Well, until the next episode,

Sam

The Road To Despair has been around for some time, but I had difficulties in downloading it until now. It's by Viper, and has 8 new levels which play as an add-on to Project Totengraeber. I just tried out the first level thus far but it looks like a real difficult set with good level design and well placed guards. You can get it from The Wolfenstein 3D Vault.

June 3, 2001

Sam Chiang's Best Website Award for June 2001 goes to James Ingham for James' Wolfenstein 3D Page !!

Here's news of the 2001 Official Wolfenstein 3-D Awards:

On top of the three categories that were on the poll, there are four other awards. The winners have received trophy banners for their sites. 

2001 Wolfenstein Awards - (6/2/01)

BEST ADD-ON: Project Totengraeber - Brian Rowan

BEST CREATOR: Mr. Lowe

BEST PAGE: Mr. Lowe's Page - Brian E. Lowe

Extra Categories

BEST CODER: Tris - TFS

BEST NEW SITE: James' Site - James Ingham

BEST CLASSIC: Schabbs 2000 - Gary Ragland

HONORABLE MENTION: The Wolf3d Mansion

I am particularly pleased about the 'Extra Category' awards. Tris put a lot of effort into his TFS set, and James' site is the best I've seen for some time. And had Kenny's site been remodelled a few months earlier, he could well have had the 'best website' award. Anyways, here's the awards I received...

My main links page has been majorly updated. Hopefully, all the deadlinks have been removed. There's a half dozen new links added.

Due to problems updating his first site, James Ingham now has a new one at James' Wolfenstein 3D Page. I liked the original site very much and the new one has a similar style and content.

May 30, 2001

AReyeP's site AReyeP's Wolfenstein 3D has been revamped, and has a new banner...

• New menu and title graphics
• New sounds

• New detailed storyline
• New levels (of course!) As with the original SOD, there will be 21 in total (including 2 secret levels), with perhaps a "super secret" 22nd level

Luke Strauman's new site Wolf3D Heaven And Hell is up and it's looking good. There's news, projects, add-ons, source, links , and a special Spear section. Not everything is working yet though.

Jean Morel's new site The Wolf's Stone is now up too, and has several sections including links, and news of his projects.

Here's more features from Project Verdammt by James Ingham:

• MLI cheat edited and it doesn't remove your score!
• Tab-G+F10 Cheat from Spear added!
• Guards and officers drop a handgun when you don't have one
• You start with just a fist!

And here's two pic's...

Sam Feichter has released a zip containing more than 30 actor pics he converted from Doom. Instructions are included.

Pablo Dictter has sent me 4 Wolf3D deathmatch maps for Doom II. 

Even though I updated my main links page a couple weeks ago, there are still some deadlinks on there. I hope to completely update it this coming weekend, and add the one's recently listed on this page.

May 27, 2001

Here's a new Wolf 3D site from a veteran Wolf 3D fan!! It's at Veteran Wolf's Site, and has downloads, projects and links.

Jean Morel tells me he's cancelled his two projects The Wolfenstein 3D Shareware:SE and Project: Nein, but is now thinking of creating an add-on called Escape From Kolnitz: A True Story. He will also be hosting a new Wolfenstein Site, called The Wolf's Stone.

I guess I missed this earlier, but to celebrate Wolf 3D's 9th birthday, Planet Romero has a number of pics from the early years. Another site of interest is the Official S&F Prod. Home Page. It's not Wolf 3D specific, but has cheats, mods, add-ons and much more for many Apogee/ID games. There's an old graphics only add-on there for the shareware 1.0 version called Wolfwall (pic shown opposite) which adds a lot more gore, and some new wall designs. I've posted an all files included version. No new maps. Thanks to Frenkel Smeijers for the above info.

Here's more updates from Sam Feichter...

Hey!

Gorenstein 2 is going under some stuff for BETA 2. Still a 5 level demo, it will have a complete episode of the 6 done in about 2 weeks (which is when James Ingham is done with the source code he is doing for me).

I have put in the graphics for a missile launcher, and James is doing the source code changes for it, since whenever I mess with it, I accidentily screw it up, or delete the whole damn folder!

Well, anyway, there is a lot of cool new things in my two current games:

Hall of the Nazis

• Chainsaw! (Sorry, still behaves like a knife)
• Guys converted from Laz's Wolfendoom scenarios (if I'm breaking any rules he has for it, I am sorry, but they look so neat!)
• Mutants with red blood (At least I haven't seen it anywhere!)
• One-armed Mancubus!
• Pewter statue of original guard! (If you've seen the one on id's site, you know what I'm talking about!)

Gorenstein 2

• Instead of fireballs from the flame-throwing guard, it shoots actual flames!
• A new knife (No! Not just changing the colors, I mean a buck knife!) Bet you've never seen a gargoyle in any Wolfenstein game!
• Goldeneye weapons! (If James showed you his, I sent those to him)
• BJ has a new dying frame! (He doesn't have black eyes and looks like an onion anymore - he just spurts blood!)

Check out Sam's Wolfenstein 3-D Page for the latest 5 level Gorenstein 2 download!!  

May 26, 2001

James Ingham has released a one level demo version of his upcoming set Project Verdammt. Here's some info he sent me...

There are 4 Weapons:

• Knife --- Not Rapid Fire --- Go close up to them to kill!
• Handgun --- Not Rapid Fire --- Aim and shoot!
• ChainGun --- Rapid Fire --- Just Shoot and move from side to side!
• Chain Saw --- Rapid Fire --- Go close up to them to kill! (Like a rapid fire Knife which does as much damage as a chaingun!)

I got the graphics for the chain saw from doom! But i edited it so it looked like B.J's Hands. Please note: 'I Don't want any other add-on with my chainsaw images unless they have my permission, or there'll be bad comments about it on my site!!!

There are other features like:

• 200% Health Max
• 250 Ammo Max
• 300 Lives Max
• No Parameter Needed - just press Tab+?
• Green Main Menu Background

In version 1.0 there'll be:

• God Mode Artifact,
• New Status Bar (i.e at the moment it's like this:

________________________________________________

|Floor|Score|<BJFACE>|HEALTH|AMMO|KEYS|WEAPON|

---------------------------------------------------------------- 

But it will be like this:

_____________________________________________

|Ammo|Health|<BJFACE>|Score|Lives|WEAPON|Keys|

------------------------------------------------------------

• Maybe a new (few) Weapons, (Maybe a rocket Launcher)
• Armour (Maybe)
• 60 Continuous Levels
• Read Me Files Used (HelPArt+ENDTEXT)
• My Recorded demo's (Maybe)
• Different Music
• A whole bunch of new graphics
• New Status Bar Graphics (From Doom)
• New Characters
• No PC-13 Sign
• No M-L+I Cheat( Probably different Letters)
• No Cheats at all!!!!!

And a load more!!!!!! (alot ain't it)

Also, I might: This is a big Maybe!!! On the status bar i might have a line saying info, where when a Grey Guard come it would say 'GUARD APPROACHING' or something like that! And when you pick up some ammo it would say 25 Ammo Clip Picked Up! etc...

James

Thanks James for providing the above info. One other point - the demo's main purpose is to show the new features, particularly the chain saw. As such, most of the level design is pretty basic. 

May 24, 2001

For those who prefer the original graphics and sounds, here's a set of four new Spear levels by Pablo Dictter called Chemical Reaction. The levels are well designed and the decoration is about right. The original full version of Spear of Destiny is required.

You can download the set from Pablo's Place. The site also has a number of Doom wads to download.

Sam Feichter has released Gorenstein 2: Attack of Josef Hitler. This is a four level beta (version 1.0). There's a pic shown below...

Here's an update I received from Jay about the Wolf3d Deathmatch project.

The TC is practically finished - everything works except for the modems. Serial games work perfectly though - you can select game limits, ie. time, frags, or none.

You can also talk to the other player, and we're considering releasing a beta with serial gameplay until we resolve the modem problems.

If anybody is interested, mail me at jay01@webmail.co.za

thanx

jay 

Sam Chiang will be giving monthly awards for the best Wolf3D websites. Yesterday, he gave the first award to Daniel's Wolfenstein 3D Site.

Here's some other news from Sam:

My current Wolf3d site will be going down, meaning that I'm not going to update it anymore. So basically it's no more. There are some server problems that's keeping me from editing the site. I will be making a new one soon called "Wolfenstein3d Heaven". (If anyone else has planned to make their site called that than I'll change it.) So be sure to stay tuned.

-Sam Chiang

April 21, 2001

Tribute is a two level demo released by John Bucksnort. The levels are well designed, and there are some new sounds and Spear graphics. The full version of the set should be finished in a few weeks. Some of the levels will be done by Harry Mass Senior.

Jagdpanther is now known as Yellowjacket. His new site is called Yellowjacket's Tavern. As well as Wolf 3D and Spear, there is also a section for Civilization II.

Philipp Luy has released a four level demo of his upcoming set OPERATION: Zusammenkunft. The levels are well designed and nicely decorated, though the 4th level has no actors as yet. There are lots of graphics changes - some have come from other sets, but some are original. Source code changes are not reflected in this set, but will come later.

Some news from Sam Feichter...

4/19/01

A bad thing happened on Saturday. My computer crashed. That means that Gorenstein II is postponed. Anyone who wants to help with levels and GFX and sounds, PLEASE DO!

Well, at least Project Verdammt isn't gone, since it's on Mike Ingham's computer. (Did you know that I was helping?) Gorenstein will NOT be cancelled though. I might be set back a little. (Ok! Maybe a lot!)

For you Doom II owners out there, have you played Goldeneye Doom II? Regardless if you have or have not, download the EDGE version! The difference is more weapons (DK5, AR33, Dostovei, PP7 (unsilenced)). GET IT AT DOOM WAD STATION!!!

Bye all,

Sam 

B. J. Blazcovick's Hideout has been offline for some time. The server it was on 3d.portal.com suffered a serious outage and was down for about a week. It's since been restored, but many of the host sites including the Hideout are yet to come back online. X-human tells me he will be getting it back up.

Here's a message that Philipp Luy (author of OPERATION: Zusammenkunft) posted on Map n level editing.

Hi to everyone in the club, to all visitors too... it´s me Philipp and here I have some news for you :-).

My upcoming SET/TC for WOLFENSTEIN 3D - OPERATION: Zusammenkunft is progressing well. The first 4 floors are finished, and we have a perfect working 5th difficult level including respawning :-). There are some fine new graphics,too. There will be a demo soon.

The second is, that I and my best friend have founded CHAOS Software !!! PROJECT: Zusammenkunft will come out for CHAOS Software and there will be a homepage with more info very soon.

OK, that´s all... cu

Philipp Luy.

April 18, 2001

James Ingham has started again on his Project Verdammt set and he tells me Chris Chokan and Tris are to help out. Here's a pic that James sent me...

There are more pics here. Updated April 20, with four extra pics.

Here's an email from Lord W...

AReyeP (Steve) has sent me a set of pics from the new TC he's working on with MCS. It's called Spear Resurrection and judging by the pics, it looks like it'll be a pretty good set.

There are more pics here. For more info on the set, check out AReyeP's Wolfenstein 3D.

 

April 14, 2001

For those who have Quake II, there's an add-on which shows what the first ten levels (the shareware set) of Wolfenstein 3D look like with a more modern engine. At present only the walls are shown, there are no objects or actors yet, but these may come later.

Here's a set of pics I made from Mutantstein III/Nightmare's End. Many thanks to John Bucksnort and Harry Mass Senior for providing a set of such good quality.

Philipp Luy is working on a new upcoming set called OPERATION: Zusammenkunft. There will be 9 regular levels, plus a secret one. It will have new wall-textures (not many), and many cool features

• Fifth (!!!!!) difficulty level
• respawning enemies (like in DOOM), if you kill a SS-Soldier, he will return.... cruel & blood-thirsty... 🙂 ...as a mutant !!!
• FULL-SCREEN mode and the mysterious Grail of Death

Thanks to Philipp for providing the above info.

For those interested in keyboard music, Chris Chokan's Angelfire site has a large number of files to download. Though not Wolfenstein 3D specific, pcjumper.wav is included, plus an updated version of lurking (click on - /music/zipped for more sets).

Here's another pic from Quinnsey's upcoming TC The Undercover Missions.

 

Quinnsey's site is at The Undercover Missions TC Homepage.

April 9, 2001

Mutantstein 3 has been released. This new six level set by John Bucksnort and Harry Mass Senior is of excellent quality. The levels are very well designed and there are more new graphics, sounds and source code changes. Here are some pics I took while playing level two.

For those interested in the technical side of the game, the Open GL Wolfenstein Site has info, pics and downloads. It's hosted by DarkOne.

April 8, 2001

Here's news I received from John Bucksnort:

Mutantstein 3 is a mere 2 or 3 days away... Info on the next set...Wolfenstein 3d: The Tribute a straight 10 level set with mostly all original graphics. There will be sound replacements, however, and my usual source code changes... (ceilings, music, actor strength).

It is already in the works... Sounds and vgagraph changes are done and 3 levels are done as well.

Here's a pic from a new upcoming set by James Ingham called Project Verdammt. More new graphics are planned, and Sam Feichter tells me he's helping out with these.

James has since restarted this set - please see news item dated April 18.

Paal Olstad (Poet) has released a new one level set called Wolf Hour Epilogue. It has more than one Boss, and is very difficult to beat. Though meant as a separate set, Paal tells me the level is meant to played only after completing his Wolf Hour set. You can get both sets at Poet's Wolfenstein Page.

Nazi's Death Valley, a Spear Demo set by Guillermo Buteler, has been updated (bug removed).

March 31, 2001

Here's a new Spear demo set called The Inner Circle. It's Philipp Luy's first set. The levels are well designed, and the guards are well placed. The style is similar to that in the original set. Philipp plans to make a series of more elaborate sets, and this one makes a good starting point.

March 29, 2001

Mutantstein 3 should be released in about 2 weeks. Meanwhile, here's the title screen John Bucksnort sent me...

Here's the latest news update from Sam Feichter:

• Hey, here's more news! First off, I have a new email address at Sam Feichter E-mail!.
• Gorenstein 2 will have new weapons. One isn't finished, but 2 are. The new blue pistol is from Spear of Destiny Lost Missions. The new machine gun replacement, an Uzi, is basically looks the same as a normal pistol in Wolf 3-D, except it's one handed, and there is a clip that moves at the bottom. Expect this set in 1 to 2 months.
• I'm planning to have my own Gorenstein homepage soon, which will be linked to this one. As well as my Wolfenstein 3D sets, it will also feature some Doom TC's.

That's all,

Sam.

For more info on Sam's sets, see Sam's Wolfenstein 3D Page.

Warzone II has been released by DTrade. It has nine new levels, plus a secret level. There's lots of new graphics, sounds and source code changes. As in the first Warzone set, it's difficult to play, and there are plenty of pushwalls to find. Here's two pics...

Paal Olstad (Poet) sent me the following email:

Hello.

For those who are interested I have posted several source code tutorials lately. More will be added soon.

Some time ago I also posted a special version of my first set Wolf-Extra. This version includes all the big levels and a selection of small ones.

The special version benefited from a few source code changes, but... BY A VERY UNFORTUNATE CIRCUMSTANCE THE WL_GAME.C FILE USED TO COMPILE THIS VERSION WAS WRONG, THE CONSEQUENCE BEING THAT THE SECRET LEVELS WERE WRONGLY PLACED. This is now corrected. I am very sorry for the inconvenience this must have caused those who have played this version of Wolf-Extra. Please download it again!!.

Lastly a set called Wolf Hour Epilogue will be posted shortly.

Best regards Paal Olstad (Poet).

Thanks Paal, for the info. Paal's page is at Poet's Wolfenstein Page.

March 26, 2001

Here are 2 more Spear Of Destiny sets from John Bucksnort. They complete The Greinholdt Covenant trilogy. The second set is subtitled The Formula and has 12 levels.

The third set is subtitled The Dawn Of Death and has 7 levels. Both sets have lots of new graphics, sounds and source code changes. As with John's earlier sets, both are fast moving and difficult to play. Some keys are in hidden rooms. Harry Mass Senior helped out with the second set.

Barry Christian's The Wolfenstein 3D Vault has a new banner...

March 24, 2001

I posted several Wolf3D shareware sets that have become difficult to get hold of recently. They are at Easyspace Shareware, and include Halloween, and Lost Episodes.

Philipp Luy has founded the NEXUS OF WAR Project Group, to work on new maps/episodes etc.

The web site at http://nexusofwar.hypermart.net has just been started but will be updated as more info becomes available.

The weekend chat on Die Hard Wolfers has now become a regular feature and is being held at the following time each week:

Saturday

• CAN-US Eastern ST 5:00pm
• CAN-US Central ST 4:00pm
• CAN-US Pacific ST 2:00pm
• London, England 10:00pm
• Amsterdam 11:00pm

Sunday

• Sydney, Australia 9:00am

I won't be able to make it every weekend, but I should be able to make at least half of them, including the one tonight.

Barry Christian of the The Wolfenstein 3D Vault has awarded my main page Wolfenstein 3-D Vault Featured Page of the Month Award for outstanding page content and development. Thanks Barry - it's appreciated!

March 17, 2001

John Bucknort of the SPEAR OF DESTINY FAN CLUB has awarded a 'personal achievement award' to DTrade for his Warzone I: Sudden Strike set. Well deserved, DTrade!!

Barry Christian's The Wolfenstein 3D Vault has moved again (this time to Angelfire). Barry tells me he was not happy with the previous server, which was often slow loading and sometimes did not work at all. Here's Barry's new banner...

Sam Chiang also has a new banner...

Here's a new set based on Operation Buzzbomb graphics. It's called The End Of A Superpower, and is by YH. There are seven new levels at present, but this will be extended later. The levels are very different to the Buzzbomb ones - most have more open space. There are too many objects in one area at times, particularly on the first level, resulting in occasional loss of graphics, but there's some good design ideas too.

March 16, 2001

DTrade has released Warzone I: Sudden Strike. There are nine new levels, plus a secret level. There are also a number of graphics and other changes. As with DTrade's earlier sets, this one is difficult with a lot of pushwalls to find. The secret level is accessed from the Boss level, so it's essentially a straight ten level set.

Here's two pics from DTrade's next planned set. It's called Warzone II...

DTrade has also released an update (12.3Kb) which fixes a level 2 bug on his Westlake II set.

For those who prefer frames, Daniel's Wolfenstein Site has a new frames version.

Armitage1974 has started a new Yahoo club Map n level editing. It's not Wolf 3D specific - it includes games like Duke Nukem too - but it's for those who are interested in level design, tips & tricks and for useful help and links.

March 12, 2001

Here's two new pics that Quinnsey sent me. They're from his upcoming TC called The Undercover Missions.

Quinnsey also has a new website The Undercover Missions TC Homepage. This is pretty much under construction at present but has some links, pics and info on the set.

March 10, 2001

Daniel has a new banner for his site...

Barry Christian's Barry's Wolfenstein 3-D Page has moved and has been renamed The Wolfenstein 3D Vault. Most of the pages have been updated.

It seems as though Tripod doesn't like Wolf 3D anymore. Barry Christian (see above) had to transfer his page to a new server, and Gary Ragland's old Tripod page has disappeared too! Gary's other page is still there though at Gary's Wolfenstein 3-D Center.

Here are three pics from Return To Castle Wolfenstein, sent to me by Harry Mass Senior. More info about this new upcoming game can be found at Castle Wolfenstein 2000.

March 9, 2001

Harry Mass Senior has released his new TC Half Way. There are some changed source codes (two new keys etc), new wall graphics, and ten new levels. Access to the secret level is from level four. This is a very difficult and fast moving set. Just when I thought I'd reached the level one elevator, there was a whole new area beyond!!

Harry also sent me a set of pics from the set. 

March 2, 2001

Here's another Yahoo Club for Wolf 3D !! This one is called Die Hard Wolfers, and was founded by brothertank.

Chris Chokan has released an updated version of Chokage, with changes made to several levels. Some of Chris' favourite level changes include:

• E3L4 (Black Sunshine)*
• E3L6 (The Self-Inducing Barrier)*
• E3L3 (Cubical Containment... not quite done yet though)*
• E2L1 (Pilot's Warning... some parts of the level are really cool while others need touching up)
• E2L3 (The Tower)

*these levels contain a hidden Skeleton Key that are found in unlikely, bizarre ways

Some other classic levels that Chris has upgraded include:

• E1L1-E1L4 (L2 and L3's secret areas have been majorly extended, L4 has new wall photos in the brown area)
• E2L5 (Ice Age)

Chris is still working on changes, and the next one will be really weird: "you get to a certain spot in the level and when you go back... everything is different. There's an example of what this will look like hidden in a secret passage on E5L2 in the Gold shine area with the backwards guard".

The level will also feature doors that open poles (and other doors). An example of this is on on E3L7 inside the secret room with the dog behind the 5 poles.

Other changes are that the Blue SS Guards will become Nazi Reepers. Officers will become Speedopes (swimmers), and the dogs will become Chainsaw Dogs that float through the air.

More info, and the download is available from Herc's Super Chokage Page.

The Master is looking for an artist to help out with his upcoming Wolfenstein MOD Kurt vs. The Master.

"The artist needs to be willing to do major boss & other enemy (not any of the normal guards that have a bunch of frames like the Brownies, SS, etc.) recreation, possibly from scratch, and maybe some various other wall textures and things. And they have to be GOOD. They need to send some examples.

They can email me at: pepsip@iol-12.net

Thanks.

The Master."

Re: the Fortune City downloads problems, I've now transferred all zip files I had on there to another server. This is because Fortune City no longer allow zip file downloads, and have installed software to cut-off downloads. All files are now available on Easyspace.

February 25, 2001

Daniel's Wolfenstein 3D Page has moved to a new url. The banner has been changed too...

Several other links have been deleted or changed. In particular, Castle Wolfenstein 2000 now works as it should, as does Nate's WolfenCHAT.

Fortune City has been experiencing problems with some downloads lately. Sometimes, the downloads get cut off before the full file is received. Another Wolf 3D site on the server Mike's Wolfenstein 3-D Page, has put up a temporary page until the problem is sorted out. Anyone wanting files I have on Fortune City, please email me. If the problem persists, I'll move the files to another server.

February 20, 2001

Sam Chiang has sent me a new pic from his The Matrix set. It shows a new guard, and a new M16 gun (replaces the machine gun)...

Sector 27 Demo (by Fgkjrujkuejrn) has been updated. New features include:

• changed ceiling colours
• changes to menu text
• 30 ammo at start
• Chain gun SS guard drops a chain gun you can use
• Hans drops a chain gun you can use
• Flame throwers shoot super fast streams of flames
• alarm lights (one level)

Thanks to Fgkjrujkuejrn for providing this info.

Here's two more pics from D Trade's War Zone...

I received an email today from Butch Nordstrom. He made the first ever add-on set for Spear Of Destiny. The set has five levels and is called bnsodnew, though I'm told it was originally released as Sodbutch. Butch has become interested in the game again and is considering making more levels for the set. 

February 16, 2001

D Trade is working on a new set called Warzone. Episode three will be titled Project. Other episodes will be announced later. Here's a pic...

Sam Chiang's Home Page has a new url at http://www.expage.com/scg000. Anyone who is interested in helping out Sam with some levels for his upcoming set The Matrix, please send him an email at selong_chiang@yahoo.com. For info and pics on the set - check out January 20 news items.

Weiland Chiang (Sam's brother) is also working on a new set. This one will be called Return Of Hitler. Here are two pics...

Will Jeffries has sent me a two level demo of his Project Auferstehung set. There are new actors, graphics, title screen etc. More new features will be in the final version. You can get the demo from Fortune City.

Yet another upcoming TC is Hitlerstein by Johnny Groves. John hasn't been into Wolf 3D much lately but has now decided to make another set. There's no storyline as yet, but you play as Hitler. That's all I have on this at present.

An updated version of Eat At Joes (v1.38) has been released by Cedfoo. The Eat At Joes page also has detailed info about this set and news of other upcoming projects.

Jean Morel has sent me another pic from Wolf 3d (Shareware SE)...

Jean also has three further sets planned.

Sam Feichter has returned to the Wolf3D scene. Gorenstein 2 will finally have new levels. Hitler's son takes over in this one, and decides to bring back Dr. Schabbs creations. This set will be available in about 2 weeks. Sam is also planning some other sets...

• W.O.L.F. (Wolfenstein of Lost Frankfurt)
• Chocolate Attacks!
• Martians- A Wolfenstein on Mars!
• Spear of Destiny SE (SOD)

Finally, Sam send me this award. Thanks Sam...

February 10, 2001

John Hedgehog's second W.O.T.H. set has been updated, due to a fault on the sixth episode (level one). For those who already have this set, there's a map files only version available.

Jean Morel has sent me another pic from Wolf 3d (Shareware SE). There's also a list of weapons:

• Knife
• Lüger P38 (Pistol)
• Maschinenpistole MP40 "Schmeisser" (Machine Gun)
• Raketenpanzerbüchse 54 "Panzershreck" (Bazooka)

Here's a Start.exe file, made by Davy Key, for the cheat/debugmode for Wolfenstein 3D, Spear, Blake Stone etc. I've tried it for both the full and shareware versions of Wolf 3D, (also the Spear demo) and it works fine. If you want to ask Davy about it, here's his email davykey@hotmail.com.

Fgkjrujkuejrn, who sent me the Sector 27 Demo recently, could really use some help with both the source code and levels so he can get the full six episode set completed. Please send an email to fgkjrujkuejrn@yahoo.com if you want to help out.

February 9, 2001

Sector 27 Demo is a new seven level set. Graphics changes include a flame thrower, SS Guards with chain guns, and automatic drone guns. Source code changes are mostly 'changed text'. It was sent in by Fgkjrujkuejrn. The set will be extended later to include all six episodes.

February 6, 2001

In an email to AReyeP, Todd Hollenshead (CEO of ID Software) has clarified ID's position on what it considers acceptable use of the Wolf 3D Source Code.

Here are the questions that AReyeP asked Todd...

Q1: Obviously the distribution of the original game files is an infringement of copyright, and is akin to distribution of stolen goods. What I really need to know is id's stance in relation to stand alone total conversions that feature new weapons/sounds/graphics etc? The problem here is that in order to make such an add on, nearly every file (exe, graphics files and sound files) in the original game has to be altered.

• Todd's reply to above: As long as it is truly a TOTAL conversion, then that is all covered by the GPL (the source code license) and it's perfectly acceptable. The problem lies when people make a new .exe and distribute some or all of the old id files - that's basically the same thing as warezing it. - tsh

Q2: It seems that id share a close relationship with the huge number of fans creating mods/total conversions etc for newer games such as Doom, Quake etc. I've played many Doom/Quake/Quake2 mods/total conversions, many freely available off PC Gaming magazines, and made by devoted fans. Most of them feature graphics/music etc from the original games, but all give due credit to the fact that they are indeed utilising the copyright property of id software (or whoever else depending on the game). Some have been "stand alone" games (or total conversions), others have been simple add ons or levels, and some have been just plain weird! I'm hoping there's no problem with people making similar things in relation to Wolfenstein. I'm hoping you can clarify for me what is acceptable, and what is not.

• Todd's reply: We encourage people to play with the Wolf3D engine, which is why John released it. And we don't mind people making "add-ons" or new levels for the full registered version of Wolf3D or Spear. My email to Nate was specific to what he was doing, which was not only a violation of the End User License Agreement, but copyright infringement. As far as everyone else, if they haven't received an email from me and they're not doing exactly what Nate was doing then they're not in any trouble. - tsh

Many thanks to both AReyeP (Steve) and Todd for this info.

D Trade has just released his second set Westlake II. There are seven difficult levels, with a lot of pushwalls to find. There are also many graphics and source code changes too. Here's a pic...

Jay has been working on a Wolfenstein Death Match Multiplayer. Almost all gameplay aspects are finished - walking, turning, running, opening doors & secrets, shooting, frag counting, dying and respawning - all work simultaneously for 2 players (only picking up items & random spawn spots are left to do). The graphics and sprites are also finished, and the levels are almost completed.

The project was delayed a lot because of a few major bugs, so the source code needed an overhaul, but things are smooth again. If you like the screenshot shown above, you'll find more of them here. Thanks to Jay and Tris for providing this info.

February 3, 2001

John Bucksnort has released The Greinholdt Covenant Part One. The set has 8 new fast moving levels, with many source code and graphics changes. There will be further sets in this series later.

The Wolfenstein 3D community suffered a huge blow last night when Nate Smith received an email from ID Software CEO Todd Hollenshead. Todd asked for Nate's three Beyond Wolfenstein sets to be deleted due to copyright reasons. I have taken off the sets from my sites. ID Software has now clarified its position on what it considers acceptable use of the source code - see Feb 6 news item.

I just received the following letter from Todd Hollenshead, CEO of Id Software:

"Nayt,

Your site at: http://wolf3d.gamehosts.com/bw/index2.shtml and the games entitled "Beyond Wolfenstein" and "Beyond Wolfenstein 2" that are distributed from it are real problems from a copyright and trademark standpoint.

You need to cease distribution of all id content from your site immediately unless you have a specific license for redistribution of such material. You also need to inform other sites which "mirror" your files section to remove the files and cease future downloads as soon as possible.

I understand that you're a fan of the games, which is really the only reason you're not getting a real nasty letter from me or our lawyers right now. I think you must be confused as to what is permitted with respect to distribution of our property and specifically the Wolf 3D engine.

Succinctly, we have publicly released the *source code* to Wolfenstein 3D. We have not released any of the art or other game media. Redistribution of such media is copyright infringement. Using the "ID" logo and "Wolfenstein 3D", both of which are registered trademarks, with such redistribution constitutes trademark infringement. The sounds that you are distributing also most likely infringe on the copyrights of Bobby Prince, the creator and owner of such sounds.

These are all very serious issues which can't be over looked just because you aren't charging for the game or didn't intend anyone harm, etc.

Please contact me via return email immediately and confirm that you will immediately cease distribution of "Beyond Wolfenstein", "Beyond Wolfenstein 2", and any other project that contains our intellectual property and that you will instruct any site that mirrors your files to also cease such distribution.

Please note that nothing herein shall constitute a waiver of any potential remedy available to Id Software, Inc., and as such, we reserve all rights and remedies available to us at law or otherwise.

Sincerely,

Todd Hollenshead

Here's two more pics Jean Morel sent me. They're from his Wolfenstein 3D SE (Shareware) set...

Jean is also working on a full version set called Dr. Nein. This will have

• a completely different storyline
• totally different graphics
• different weapons
• new sounds (maybe)

A revised version of John Hedgehog's W.O.T.H. has been released. I've done a lot of work on this set during the past few days and as a result there are changed Read This and End Game messages, plus more alterations made to several levels.

January 28, 2001

Sam Chiang has released a banner to promote his Sam's Wolfenstein Page web site. Here it is...

A hint manual for Paal Olstad's Wolf Hour is now available. Paal is also working on a source code tutorial, which should be ready before spring. Hint Manual for Wolf Hour.

Jean Morel is working on two new sets. There's a new shareware set called Wolfenstein 3D SE (Shareware). Here's some of the features...

• a more realistic feel
• Bazooka instead of a Chaingun

Jean has released two pics from the set, and here they are...

A new version of Tris's The Final Solution has been released. This updates level 8 which now has more guards, effects etc, and gold key access. All files, and a saved game from level 7, are included.

January 26, 2001

Sam Chiang has released four more pics from The Matrix - Sam's upcoming set. Here's one of them...

And you can find the others, plus some earlier pics here.

    

Guy Brys has added a third new level to Guystone - his Blake Stone add-on. Check it out at Guy's Home Page.

Here's news of an upcoming 20 level set called Untergehende Traum (Crumbling Dream). It's being co-ordinated by Tris and there are 9 members thus far involved in this new project. Here's a pic...

HISTORY:

Notes by Tris

After completing TFS, I played around with an idea to make the spirit a little higher in the Wolfenstein Community. I believed it was time for something new, but I couldn't figure out what. Then my dad gave me the idea to start up a group project. As I believe now, I'm now the coordinator of the project. Untergehende Traum, which means Crumbling Dream, will be a 20-level TC with level and graphics design close to the original Wolfenstein, be it more realistic. So far there are 9 members:

~Chad~

Samuel Chiang

Steve Walley (AReyeP)

Eric Vaughn

Kenny Riley

Leo Bourbeau (I believe, I don't know his last name)

Ian Franken

Scott Croneberger

And me, of course. As you see, there still aren't enough members. So everyone who'd like to, mail to Tris@yahoo.com! Provide in detail with what you could help out, and when you can begin. Note: Everyone who mails me, will automatically be a member, don't worry.

THE STORY:

Spring, 1945.

The Nazi war machine, once an all conquering force sweeping through Europe, is on its knees as the Allied forces penetrate the German Fatherland.

The Allied High Command, confident that their current rate of advance through German territory will see Berlin fall in the coming weeks, prepares to put the plans for their final assault into action. The sense of urgency, so prevalent in the days when the Reich had the upper hand, has subsided. Though caution must be exercised, and all available force utilised, the Allies know victory is at hand.

Or is it?

You are William Joseph "B.J." Blazkowicz, terminal action seeker and hero of the Allied cause. Your exploits during the war are the stuff that legends are made of. Capturing the "Spear of Destiny", and thereby denying Hitler a decided psychological advantage when the Reich was at its peak.

Escaping from Castle Wolfenstein and eliminating key members of the Nazi hierarchy in the process, including the maniacal Dr. Schabbs. You'd even assaulted Hitler's own stronghold, and taken on who you had believed was Adolf himself, but the cunning Fuhrer, resourceful as ever, had substituted a double in his place. Still, to say you'd put a dent in the Nazi's schemes was an understatement.

As the end of the war appears imminent, the somewhat "relaxed" attitude adopted by many of the Allied hierarchy has not escaped your attention. Concerned that this matter needs to be addressed, you have arranged to meet with the top Allied boy himself, Commander in Chief of Allied Forces, General Henry Lee Jackson, stationed in a fortified bunker not far from liberated Paris.

As you enter the General's office, you snap to attention and salute. "Ahhh, B.J. Blazkowicz," acknowledges the General. Pointing to a seat, he adds, "Sit down, my boy, sit down..." As you take your seat, the General lights a cigar, and, puffing thoughtfully, asks: "Now B.J., what is it I can do for you?"

"General Jackson," you reply, "I'm concerned that overconfidence could create a problem in these final weeks. I was just wanting to seek your assurance that you'd ensure there is absolutely no let up whatsoever in the aggressiveness of the Allied attacks until this war is over."

 The General smiled. "Thank you for your concern, B.J., but rest assured, all is under control". "General", you replied, "with all due respect, you've only been in command for just under a month now. It's not like you've been running this invasion from day one, you know..."

An impatient look came over the General's face. "B.J.", he said, "You needn't concern yourself with this. I can assure you that, since I took command after General Ridley was poisoned last month, Allied Command is more alert than ever".

"Well, that's good to hear. Still, with my experience behind enemy lines, I was thinking that maybe I should infiltrate Berlin and ascertain what resistance our boys are likely to encounter".

"Do you think we are incompetent?" snapped the General. "We know the enemy movements, what's left of them, better than they probably do themselves. No incursion by you will be of any help at all, B.J., besides, you've already done enough to help the Allied cause. You'd only be interfering. In other words, I'm giving you an order, B.J., stay out of it. I can assure you that victory will be ours!"

Accepting the General's response, you stand back to attention, salute, and bid him farewell.

As you leave the office, General Jackson stubs out his cigar. "Damn you Blazkowicz," he muttered quietly to himself. "I wish eliminating you could be as easy as poisoning Ridley had been". He turned to face the plans on the table opposite. Plans he'd carefully prepared for the last few weeks since he'd taken command.

Ahh, yes, the Fuhrer would be pleased. The Allied armies were walking straight into a beautifully prepared ambush. General Henry Lee Jackson, a loyal Nazi better known to the Fuhrer by his birth name of Heinrich Jäger, had worked hard for the Reich in attaining the position of Commander in Chief of the Allied Forces. Years of pretending to be loyal to the Allied dogs had been difficult. But the rewards were not far away.

"Yes, B.J.," he muttered to himself again, "I didn't lie to you. Victory WILL be ours. Not yours, but OURS! Heil Hitler!"

The General's biggest mistake, though, was allowing you, B.J. Blazkowicz, to leave. Something just didn't seem right. You couldn't quite put a finger on it. But you knew you couldn't sit back and ignore it.

Damn what the General had ordered. You'd made up your mind. Looks like it was time for B.J. to pay Uncle Adolf a visit to make sure the Allied armies weren't going to receive a nasty reception!

2 Days Later:

Berlin - Hitler's bunker:

The message expected from General "Jackson" had finally arrived. As a result, following direct orders from the Fuhrer, German forces positioned themselves strategically around the Reichstag and surrounding areas to greet the unsuspecting Allied armies. The ambush they had prepared would be devastating.

The last thing they needed was B.J. Blazkowicz to come sniffing around...

LEVEL GUIDE:

Level 1 Felsendampf Geheimtunnel

When you arrive at an abandoned house near the Reichstag, you find the entrance to a tunnel leading to the cellars of the Reichstag. You must enter the eerie, damp, dark tunnel in order to get inside the cellars of the Reichstag.

Levels 2-3 Reichstag Cellars

These cellars are lightly guarded by SS and Hitlerjugend. Be careful not to get lost in the many pilestocking-areas. They may seem to be exact the same;

Levels 4-6 Lobby/Main halls

Via the elevator you get inside the Reichstag Lobby. Finally a chance to see what's still left of the once beautiful chapel. Be warned - besides Nazi architecture there are also various SS, HitlerJugend and Gestapo waiting for you!

Levels 7-10: NSDAP Conference Floors

This is the most high-class area of the Reichstag. On these floors Hitler conferenced with his party, the NSDAP. It is now a place where the officers hide. These levels have as common enemies the quick and speedy Gestapo officers, so be warned to stay covered!

Level 11: Felsendampf Geheimtunnel 2

Back in the tunnel. Hitler didn't seem to be in the Reichstag, so it's time to turn in the direction you couldn't access on forehand: the tunnel part leading to the Führungbunker. This part of the tunnel is guarded by various SS and HitlerJugend.

This tunnel seems just like the original tunnel backwards, but when you get to the part where you couldn't enter on first hand, it'll get harder and uneasier to follow. After all, Uncle Adolf doesn't want any unwelcome visitors, does he?

Level 12: The Führerbunker

This is it -- Here you'll face the Fuhrer himself. But before you can get to him, you'll have to navigate through the bunker, which is guarded by many SS and Gestapo. Be prepared -- you're in for the fight of your life.

Architectal Notice: This level is made upon an actual blueprint of the Führerbunker. Believe it or not, it was made from a blueprint from a book about the Second World War. So be sure to visit a place that did existed -- all right all right, it looked different, but the architecture was the same in World War II.

Levels 13-15: Old Reichstag

This part of the Reichstag was the old chansellor's conference area. Here, 20 meters below the fundaments of the Reichstag, the secret conferences between the chansellor and the generals were held back in World War I. Today it's guarded by a few of the Allied Forces' "turncoats": deserters now on the Axis' side.

Level 16: Horst Grosse's Den

Originally the old chansellor's dressing room, this dark and eerie place is now ruled by Horst Grosse, close friend of the Fuhrer and companion of Heinrich Jäger. His domain is that where you'll find out where Heinrich Jäger is hiding.

Levels 17-19: Reichstag Upper Floors

These floors will eventually lead you to the roof, where Heinrich Jäger is waiting for you. Be warned -- These are the most heavy guarded floors of the entire Reichstag.

Level 20: Reichstag Roof

All right now, it's time to salute Mr. Jackson on the military way -- swapping some lead into his head. Beat this guy and your mission is complete.

Here's some shots of the current framework for the game. (don't look at the level numbers, they're just concept maps). The status bar was designed by Steve Walley (AReyeP). BJ's sleeves and the Reichswehr-enemy (replaces the Mutant) are drawn by Tris. The rock texture (of level 5) was designed by Eric Vaughn.

Again, anyone who'd like to help out, please do so. Thanks.

Tris.

January 20, 2001

There are two new Wolfenstein 3D sites this week. The first is Daniel's Wolfenstein 3D Page (there's a banner shown below)...

The other one is Sam's Wolfenstein Page by Sam Chiang. Please note - both these sites are still under construction so there may be some links not working.

Sam Chiang is working on his first add-on called The Matrix. There'll be new graphics, levels and source code changes. Some levels have been done. Sam would like some help with the source code, so if you want to help out email selong_chiang@yahoo.com. Here's the title screen Sam sent me...

And here's two more pics...

D Trade's first set (there's some pics below) Westlake1 has been released. This is a very fast moving difficult set with lots of pushwalls included. There's six new levels, plus many new graphics and source code changes.

A beta version of John Hedgehog's second W.O.T.H. set has been released. (It's full title is Wrath Of The Hedgehog: Milly F. Fox Saves John The Hedgehog). Although the levels come from the first W.O.T.H. set, there've been many changes made. Also, there's a lot of source code changes. 

Paal Olstad has released Wolf Hour. This is a one episode ten level set (uses episode three), and has many interesting source code changes, including a missile launcher. Some graphics have been changed too. For copyright reasons, Paal has left out the audio files, which you have to supply from the registered set. Available at Poet's Wolfenstein Page.

D Trade has sent me two pics from his second new add-on called West Lake II...

January 16, 2001

The first John Bucksnort Personal Achievement Award of 2001 goes to Kenny Riley of The Wolfenstein 3D Mansion for the design and very professional presentation of his website. Well done, Kenny. It's well deserved!!

AReyeP (Steve) has made a new web page. You can download his new Wolfendoom TC, plus there's info and pics on his upcoming add-ons and a links section. It's at AReyeP's Wolfenstein 3D.

D Trade (who comes from China) will be releasing his first add-on soon. It'll be called West Lake 1, and here's a couple of pics he sent me...

January 13, 2001

Luke Strauman has released a beta of his Wolfenstein: Special Edition set. The first level from the first four episodes has been completed. I particularly like the blue colour effect on the fourth episode. All files are included. For more info on this set, please see below.

Here's some bad news. Jagdpanther's Wolf 3D Site has been deleted. I'm not deleting the link to it yet because the site should be back up on another server within a few weeks. The site was on Fortune City. A while back, some TC's I had posted on Fortune City were deleted, and they didn't even inform me. I don't rely on them very much anymore.

Luke Strauman has sent me some pics and other info from his new set called Wolfenstein: Special Edition. It has a lot of new features designed to show how far Wolfenstein 3D has progressed since the source code was released. Here's what Luke has completed thus far...

• 5 weapons
• Weapon change Sound
• Separate Floor colors on each level
• 200% health
• Armor Almost done
• Weapon 5 is a Shot Gun- very strong
• Graphic changes almost complete
• Sound changes almost complete
• some levels done including the secret levels 98 and 99 and super secret level, level 666

Things that Luke still has to do are...

• Graphics
• Sounds
• Maps
• Separate Ammo
• Spear Tracks

Anyways, there's a pic Luke sent me. And there's some more here.

Basilisk II is a utility which allows Mac programs to run on a PC. It's quite a long-winded process though but for anyone who's interested there's more info about it on my utilities page. Please note Power PC based programs cannot be used in conjunction with this.

Juan J. Alva has sent me two more midi files. Both are versions of Putting It To The Enemy, which is the music from Spear level 17. I think the second one is better, so does Juan, but both are OK. There is now a third one too (guitar)!!

AReyeP (Steve) has re-released his WolfenDoom set with source code, menu and other changes. This version replaces the previous one and it looks a lot more professional. Guess I'll have to do something similar with my three WolfBel sets!!

Here are some pics from John Bucksnort's upcoming set The Greinholdt Covenant Part One. The title pic is shown below, the others are here.

January 6, 2001

Harry Mass Sr has released his new set Steel Cage. There are five new levels, plus a secret level. As with all of Harry's sets, there are many new graphics and source code changes and all files are included. For pics - see below.

Here's a new Wolfenstein 3D site with downloads, links and other info. It's called Tim's Wolfenstein 3D Page.

This month's SPEAR OF DESTINY FAN CLUB Spear Of Excellence Award goes to Harry Mass Senior for his Wolfenstein 3D by Harry Sr site. Well deserved, Harry!!

Juan J. Alva sent me a midi file of Victors Song. 

A six level beta of Robocop 4 has been released by Little Snabes (Jake) and John Bucksnort. There's some good level design and a lot of new graphics/source code changes. All files are included. You can get it from John's site at John Bucksnort Wolf 3D Page.

Harry Mass Sr has released three pics from his upcoming project. It's called Steel Cage, and it'll have five new levels, plus a secret level. One pic is shown below...

You can see them all here.

January 1, 2001

Here's the first new set of the new year, and the real millennium!! It's Mutantstein 2 by John Bucksnort and Harry Mass Sr. There's six new levels. Graphics and source code changes are as in the first Mutantstein set. It's quite difficult at times, and keys are often hidden in secret areas. Very well designed.

David Gebler asked me to post the following message regarding Wolf3D Insanity and his project Biokrieg...

To all members of The Wolf3D Community,

Wolf3D Insanity no longer exists. I am in the process of merging my site with The Domain http://nayt.dyndns.org/domain, and the site will be a lot better there! It's not complete yet, but check it out to see what's coming up! The Gebweb.co.uk Network http://www.gebweb.co.uk will be non-wolf3d, but for those of you are interested, will have some great C++ tutorials very soon, if you want to be able to create your own incredible TC! Also, on Friday 5th Janaury, you can view the first issue of PC Voltage! a new monthly computer e-zine on http://www.gebweb.co.uk/pcv/index.html .

Regarding my TC, Biokrieg, expect it to be released in early March. That's all from me for now. If anyone wants to e-mail me, the address is webmaster@gebweb.co.uk.

Mike's Crappy Wolfenstein Page is the first new Wolf3D site for some time. It's still under construction, and here's the description that Mike sent me!!

A bad yet updated site which will soon get better..... it is the home of a wolf3d TC that has just started production...... for more info go here http://hometown.aol.com/madpuppy3/myhomepage/index.html.

December 30, 2000

Lane Lawson has released Wolfenstein: Iron Edition. It has around 20 new levels (most of the first 2 episodes, and a few on the third one). There are also many graphics, sounds and source code changes. There's a lot of pushwalls too! All files are included. Upcoming sets by Lane include Stalin's Reign and Gothenstein.

I recently dug out a 1992 shareware set called Newmaps. There are ten new levels, and there's some good ideas but it's really only for those who want to play/collect every set. It's version 1.0, but all files are included in the zip. I added a cheat file (use CTRL/TAB/ENTER to initialize) as some levels are quite difficult to get out of. Find it here.

Operation Uberfaust is a new scenario for the Mac by Juan J. Alva. The original version had a minor bug (a pushwall that didn't work) but this one has that fixed.

Tris's new site The Final Solution is now online. It's well designed and has many sections, including news, source code info, features and links etc. There's a lot of info on Tris's new set, also called TFS (which is mentioned below). It can also be downloaded from here.

December 28, 2000

The Final Solution by Tris has been released. As mentioned earlier, the set has 20 continuous levels, many new graphics and source code changes etc. This is a very good set, and all files are included.

December 24, 2000

The latest set by John Bucksnort and Harry Mass Sr - Mutantstein II is due for release early in the new year. The title screen is shown opposite...

There are more pics here. John tells me a new Spear trilogy is planned. It's to be called The Grienholdt Covenant, and will consist of three 10 level episodes.

TFS by Tris should be released within a few days. The set has 20 continuous levels, many new graphics and source code changes etc. News of its release will be posted here and on my main page.

Totengraeber II has been released. I've not played any of it yet, but I hear it has 48 brand new consecutive levels, and a host of graphics and source code changes. More details and the download are available at BJ Rowan's Bunker.

A new set of Project Holleregen pics have been released by Eric Vaughn. One is shown below...

You can see the others here.

Paolo Cadeddu emailed me to say he is working on Japanstein again. He hopes to finish the set during the Christmas break.

December 17, 2000

Kenny Riley has released some pics from his forthcoming project Hinrichtung. Here's one of them...

There's more pics and info on the project.

I updated my Spear page. For those who would like to know more about the origins and conditions of the Spear... there's an article by grailknight2001. Look for the link The Seven Conditions That Are Key. It sounds heavy, and it is!! And if you're still interested after that, there's a Yahoo Club at KNIGHTS IN QUEST OF THE GRAIL.

Greg's final version of his Einmacht shareware set will be released soon. There'll be more news posted here as soon as I get it.

December 9, 2000

John Bucksnort has released A Madman's Dream. There are ten new levels, plus many new graphics, sounds and source code changes. A very challenging and well designed set. All files are included.

The upcoming set Project Holleregen by Eric Vaughn is progressing well, and some pics have now been released. The title screen is shown opposite. More pics here.

Tris sent me this email...

Hi Brian, here's an announcement...

Dear members of the Wolfenstein 3D Community, when I started my club, Tris's Coding Alliance, a while ago, people visited often. After a fight between me and another member, it seems many people left the club( they didn't remove their names from the list, but simply don't visit again). That's rather sad, 'cause I hoped to get more members and more understanding of the source code among the people in the Wolfenstein Community (phew, I'm sounding like a 70-year-old filosoph, eh?). So people, please come back to my club. There won't be any more fights, that's a promise.

Tris.

Tris's club is at Tris's Coding Alliance.

I updated my eXTRAS page with a new section on the early 80's Apple II program Castle Wolfenstein. Here's a link to a page with info on one of it's sequels Castle Smurfenstein Home Page.

Ben Blaufarb's site has moved to Planet Quake, and it's now called DLA ONE. There's a page dedicated to Tekkoudan, and there's other sections for Ben's earlier sets.

December 3, 2000

James (Jimboages) released some pics from his Hell Fire project. James sent me to see the whole set.

The following message by kicken_kyle was posted on The Wolfenstein 3D Fan Club...

I'm making an add-on using for the Spear of Destiny registered version. I need people to make maps. Don't worry, your name will be posted in the add-on. I just need maps I can import using floedit. Heres the guidelines:

• It's set in bj's mansion, so no nazi symbols, just plain walls like grey stone walls, or brown marble walls.
• You must have already made an add-on.
• Post here (The Wolfenstein 3D Fan Club) for validation. Post the name of the most popular add-on you have made, specify how many levels you want to make (max is 5), and anything else you find important.
• I will post a reply saying yes or no. If yes, I will assign you to the levels.
• After your maps are made, send 'em to me.

November 24, 2000

This month's SPEAR OF DESTINY FAN CLUB Spear Of Excellence Award goes to Paal Olstadt for his Poet's Wolfenstein Page, and excellent levels tutorial. Well deserved, Paal.

John Bucksnort's next set will be A Madman's Dream. It will be released within 2 weeks. Meanwhile, John has sent me a set of pics. 

Here's a message from David Gebler that he posted on The Wolfenstein 3D Fan Club...

Gebweb.co.uk has been fully re-designed and is now up and running at http://www.gebweb.co.uk - it is only a test version, so not all sections are currently up and running. Expect full functionality in the next month. You can apply for webspace there, too. We will soon be adding chat and message board functions.

-Dave.

OK folks, here's a new Wolf 3D site. It's called Jagdpanther's Wolfenstein Site. There's news, add-ons, projects info and links. There's also a set of good pics from the forthcoming add-on Projekt Wolf. And here's the site banner...

Yet another new site is Wolfenstein 3D by Harry Sr. This one is still under construction but already has a lot there. There's a nicely designed front page and an add-ons section listing all of Harry's sets.

November 19, 2000

My Easyspace webspace is now nearly full so I've gotten another one at http://www.wolfenstein3d.co.uk. At present, there's just a copy of my Home Page, but I intend to replace it with something Wolf 3D related later. Any ideas from anyone ??

November 16, 2000

Guystein 2 has been updated. There are now 30 new levels on episodes 1, 3 and 5, but I haven't checked all these out yet. (Guy Brys tells me there could still be some bugs in the set). More news on this when I've played it all, but if you want to try it out - it's at Guy's Home Page.

Jordan Buck has released a new beta version of his Escape From The Labyrinth set. There are now 18 completed levels, plus some graphics and many source code changes. All files are now included in the zip. Jordan hopes to release a final version in a few months but this could be delayed.

Here's a link for Mac fans that I came across by chance. There's stacks of add-ons and other Wolfenstein 3D related files. It's at Esplanaden Wolfenstein 3D.

This is not Wolfenstein 3D related, but if you liked the original Pacman game then try out this new 12 level set. It's freeware, and there's a lot of other stuff here to download too!! Pac World.

November 13, 2000

John Bucksnort has released his Evil In Iron set with Doom graphics. I just made a set of pics - one of them is shown below. The set is available from John's Page too at John Bucksnort Wolf 3D Page.

November 11, 2000

Wolfendoom is a sixty level set sent in by AReyeP. (Steve tells me it's pronounced as RIP). All levels are new and very well designed. There's also a whole bunch of new graphics and sounds. All files are included in the zip, including some lengthy text files which have a lot of info on the set. Here's a pic from episode two...

November 9, 2000

Here's an email from Tris...

Hi Brian, Here's a small (small?) update on TFS.

Yeah, it's been a while, but here it is...

The game's engine is rather complete, but some extras still need to be added. I'd like to know if anyone could help me out with these. I don't have the knowledge for it.

I still need:

• A heartbeat sound that plays infinite when the player's health is 40% or less
• A second unlocked door with a texture from -74 ( I use MapEdit 8.0, so if you also know how to set it up in there???)
• Occasionally jamming of the chaingun
• When you're out of ammo, you can still select the weapons, but you hear a "click"(digitized sound I guess)

If anyone could help me with this, MAIL ME! Tris@yahoo.com

The game's levels are now 80% complete. That is, all level layouts are complete, but some still need some treasure, ammo, enemies, etc.

See you around,

Tris.

John Bucksnort sent me a title screen for his latest project A Madman's Dream. The set will have ten new levels. Graphics, sounds and source code will be similar to those in Tobruk, but with a few surprises.

Harry Senior tells me there's a bug on the fifth level of his Death Waits set. Harry sends his apologies and this update, which will put things right.

Eat At Joes has been a long time coming but there's now a new ten level download for this set at Eat At Joes. There's lots of graphics, sounds and source code changes. (Many of the actors are cartoon-like). This set requires the original Wolf3D 60 level set as some of the files have been deliberately left out (copyright reasons, I guess).

November 4, 2000

Here's a message from David Gebler...

Biokrieg's engine has been completed for a long time, but the problem is, I don't really have the time to design the remaining 27 levels that need to be done before it can be released. There must be someone out there who can lend a hand towards getting Biokrieg complete - so if anyone at all is interested in helping, please e-mail smooth_nite@hotmail.com - Thanks.

-David Gebler.

Just arrived is this new set for the Spear Demo. It's by Guillermo Buteler and is called Nazi's Death Valley. Both levels are new, and all files are included.

Wolfenstein Collection is a new 30 level set for Wolfenstein 3D. It's by MCS, who comes from Holland, and has many new sounds, graphics, music, and title screen. The cheats have been changed in this set (the ILM command is now MCS). MCS has spent more than 300 hours on this set, and this is shown in the quality of the levels.

From what I've played, this set would particularly suit those who prefer the original game, especially in the first 3 levels. However, there are many surprises and those who like new graphics and source code changes will also find something here.

The earlier version of this game (before 11/04/00) had a bug. There's a small patch which will put this right.

Paal Olstad's page has a new banner. Here it is...

October 31, 2000

Two new sets were released today. The first is by John Bucksnort and Harry Senior and is called Mutantstein. This has six new levels. The other set is called Death Waits and is by Harry Senior. This one has ten new levels. Both sets are difficult to play and have many new graphics, sounds and source code changes. Both also have all files included. For pics see October 29 news items.

October 29, 2000

This month's SPEAR OF DESTINY FAN CLUB Spear Of Excellence Award goes to Brent for his Wolf3-D Headquarters site. Well done, Brent!!

Paal Olstad's next set Wolf Hour will soon be released. It will come with a new exe with several source code changes. There's a missile launcher using its own ammo, missiles, and some other new features not found elsewhere. There's more info on Poet's Wolfenstein Page.

John Bucksnort and Harry Senior have been working on a new set called Mutantstein: The Nightmare Returns. There are lots of changesincluding ceiling colours, music and sounds. It should be released within the coming week but for now John has sent me this set of pics. Meanwhile Robocop4, which John is working on with Jake, is also progressing well though there are still some new levels to complete.

 

Harry Senior has also sent mesome pics. They come from a new set as yet untitled and are included with the Mutantstein ones mentioned above.

I received an award from John Bucksnort for this news page. It's called a Personal Achievement Award. John tells me this will be awarded from time to time, though not necessarily every month. Anyways, thanks John.

October 20, 2000

Here's news from David Gebler...

There are serveral things I have to say in this message, so read carefully everyone. The first thing, is that the more observant of you may have noticed that the new Gebweb.co.uk Network has still not been uploaded, and that Wolfenstein 3D Insanity has not been updated in a while. This is because I am currently involved in the development of an exciting new product for authors. It's called E-Book Writer, and enables authors to write entire books and sell them without any publication costs at all. So if you're a first time author, you can still sell your work in our new file format, which we've called Standard E-Book Format. This isn't an advert, but as a side issue, if you're interested in beta-testing or purchasing a copy of this product, please e-mail beta@gebweb.co.uk and let us know. Note that only a maximum of five people will be required to beta-test.

My Wolfenstein 3D TC, Biokrieg, is nearly finished, but I could really do with a hand from someone who's good at designing levels. Please e-mail smooth_nite@hotmail.com if you're interested.

That's all for now. Until next time, bye everyone!

smooth_nite@hotmail.com

John Bucksnort's main Wolf3D/Spear Page now has a new url. It's at http://www.jbucksnort.com.

Adam's Wolfenstein 3D site has been deleted. It seems there was a disagreement between Adam and Kenny Riley. Anyways, Kenny asked me to post the exchange of emails. You can see it here.

Here's the exchange of emails between Adam and Kenny concerning the deletion of Adam's site...

Brian, I'm sure you've seen the site that says I destroyed his site. Well I have something you can make into a text file and put it on you news page for the explanation why this guy is full of shit. Anyway here's the message:

Okay this guy named Adam had a wolf site and he ripped my whole source code section off so I e-mailed him and this is the e-mail:

"Adam,

I went to your page today and I saw your source code section. You have some tutorials that I wrote and they are a rip off of mine that you altered. All you had to do was e-mail me and ask but you didn't do that. Now since you just took it without asking take my tutorials off of your page and no don't ask if you can use them because the answer is no. Be creative and make your own stuff.

-Kenny"

Okay he replied with:

"The decision was made earlier this morning to delete my internet site. This was a decision partly due to the email you sent me and due to a decision of my friends at school. My site was never meant to be a 'proper' wolfenstein site it was only meant to be an experiment with my skills on frontpage 98. I only put a bit of the source code section on my site and I think you should also tell the other people that steal your tutorials to get them of their site as well. The whole of the web site should be gone by 12:00am. You seemed to be a person who wouldn't mind if I used some of your tutorials, Sorry for any inconvienience and i think you did the right thing by telling me. I provided a link on my site but maybe that wasn't enough"

Okay his site is now offline, on the bottom of his page it said "Kindly ripped from the Wolf3D Mansion" anyways here's the link to his page:

http://members.dencity.com/wolfenstein3d/

He says I destroyed his site. That is a total lie, I told him to take off my tutorials so this guy does not know

What he's talking about.

-Kenny

Thanks for puttin this on your news page, I want to clear this up.

October 14, 2000

John Bucksnort has released his latest set for Wolfenstein 3D. It's called Beyond Tobruk and has 21 new levels, plus lots of graphics and other changes. All files are included.

Here's a new Wolf 3D page. It's by Juan Alva-Guerra and it's called Juan's Vampyra and Wolf/SOD Page. Here's a banner...

WolfXL has been made available again. This is the original 60 level set but it works only as an add-on to Chokage. You can get it from my Fortune City site.

I missed last Friday's chat concerning the Wolf 3D Convention. It seems that many others did too but 'The Master' has posted an update about it on The Wolfenstein 3D Fan Club.

October 6, 2000.

John Bucksnort and Little Snabes are well into their Robocop 4 project. John tells me that all source code and title screen changes have been completed.

Here's a new set called Untitled SOD Demo. This has two new levels for the Spear demo. It's been done by Martin Oxilia and is his first set. All files are included.

For 'Everything about Wolf 3D's Source Code', visit Wolf3D Coding World.This replaces the Wolf 3D Source Code Club. It is still hosted by David Gebler.

Scott Croneberger's Wolf3d Black Hole has moved servers. However, the redirect url is the same www.wolf3dblackhole.com.

September 29, 2000

Leo Bourbeau sent me a couple of pics from his upcoming TC Discostein. Here they are...

Tris has started a new Yahoo Club Tris's Coding Alliance for those (like me) who are finding editing the Wolf 3D source code difficult. It's also a place to share acheivements made with the code. BJ Rowan has joined too so anyone needing help...

Coming soon is a new Spear demo set by Martin Oxilia. This is his first set. It should be posted here within a day or two.

Bob Daum's latest set The Ultimate has 10 new levels, plus lots of new graphics, sounds and source code changes. All files are included in the self-extracting exe. Here's a pic...

September 23, 2000

Discostein is a new add-on being made by Leo Bourbeau and Viktor Sandberg. It will be based on the 70's era. There are plenty of graphics changes, and some new sounds. Screenshots will be released soon.

Guillermo Buteler is working on a new set for the Spear demo. It will probably be ready by next week.

The SPEAR OF DESTINY FAN CLUB Spear of excellence Award for October goes to Kenny Riley of The Wolfenstein 3D Mansion for his cool site.

Kenny's Wolf3D News section has a new Wolf3D Browser to download. It was made by The Master. Here's a pic of it with one of my pages.

September 17, 2000

ZDTV has some info on the new Return To Castle Wolfenstein. There's also a video, introduced by producer Drew Markham.

Here's news from Scott Croneberger...

1) The Wolf3d Black Hole will move servers soon, but I will use www.wolf3dblackhole.com to forward it.

2) Return Of Doctor Schabbs full version is complete, visit my site www.geocities.com/wolf3d_blackhole/ in other projects to download it, and it only has 31 levels instead of 42. A lot better than beta 2.

Thanks, Scott.

And some news from Tris...

First, I'm redoing my site (with frames, animations and such). I'm also going to move to the GEBWEB network.

My website will be completely redone and more info and downloads will be added (it's finished, a screenshot will appear on the main page of the old site this week).

Until then... Tris.

Little Snabes Robocop project got deleted, but he and John Bucksnort are now working on an even better Robocop. Hope the project goes well, guys.

September 12, 2000.

The latest set from Harry Senior is Gates To Hell. It has ten new levels, plus many new sounds, graphics, and title screen. First impressions are that it's a difficult, but very well designed set. All files are included in the self-extracting exe.

Here's news from David Gebler...

• OK, this news doesn't JUST concern Wolf3D fans, but it IS relevant to Wolf3D. The Gebweb.co.uk Network is being TOTALLY re-done. The new site will look a lot better, have a search engine to search the web, and loads of new sites on it, including Wolf3D Insanity. There will also be an online weekly magazine about computers, programming, and games, called PC Voltage. More news about all that soon.
• Now the Wolf3D part: For a start, anyone is welcome (at this time, anyhow) to host their Wolf3D website on Gebweb.co.uk - with UNLIMITED webspace. This will benefit most smaller sites, because with the content on the new Gebweb.co.uk Network, it has been estimated that we could receive (within a few months) up to 5000 (yes, five thousand) visitors a day, meaning smaller Wolf sites will get a LOT more hits every day. Also, Project: Biokrieg is nearly ready. It should be released in less than one month. That's all for now. Contact me at the address below if you want to know more about anything.

-David Gebler

Another new Wolf3D site is Return To Castle Wolfenstein. There's info on the game, weapons and a nice set of pics.

SOD floors dates from 1995 and has 21 new levels. It's been designed to work best with The Lost Episodes: Mission 2 vswap. This is a well designed, but difficult set. There are many pushwalls, and keys are often hard to find. By Jamie E. Edwards. Requires the registered Spear set.

This months SPEAR OF DESTINY FAN CLUB best site award has gone to Jake for his Little Snabes Little Wolfsite. Well done, Jake.

Here's a message from Tris...

"Hey Brian. I received an email from Martin Fernandez (the author of WOLFMUS), in which he answers my question of creating MIDI versions of the Wolfenstein 3D Music Cues. He sent me the following info. If anyone knows how to do this, let him/her contact me. Thanks. Tris."

Martin Fernandez replies...

"Hello, Well, I'm another big fan of Wolf3d. It's great to see that you liked the player! My initial project was to convert all the musics to MIDI. In order to fully understand the structure of the music tracks, I decided to build a music player. So now I know what every byte-sequence in the tracks mean. Unfortunately, MIDI conversion is harder to accomplish.

I started writing a converter and managed a partial translation of a couple of tracks. But I had other real-life matters to attend to and temporarily abandoned it. Basically, you have to map Adlib frequencies to notes. It can be done (and I did, but each track is a separate problem to handle). Then you have to map 'volume' -> MIDI velocity. Again, it can be done, but I stopped working at that point. And don't forget the 'sound textures', matching Adlib voices to MIDI instruments; and drum tracks. Even then, most of the songs have effects like vibrato, slides and such. And on the MIDI world it is again possible to achieve such effects. But you need a very intelligent program to successfully detect and convert stuff like that. And what I have so far is not a real smart piece of code, just basic translation. Anyway, to do it properly, human supervision is required.

What can I say? It is possible to create an automatic converter, and you would have to manually supervise and re-arrange every track in order to get something similar to the original. I have seen four or five Wolf MIDI's out there, some are perfect translations and I keep wondering where did they come from (Apogee itself?). But someone has to write such a program.

If you want to/have some programming knowledge, I can help you with what I already know. Else... Maybe sometime in the future I get motivated again and finish the conversion. Maybe someone else did something similar with other games and can provide the extra effort.

Why not try contacting the guys at HYPERLINK. They converted lots of Adlib songs from LucasArts games and are experts on the subject? Then again, maybe they grew tired of doing so. If they are willing to help and need some info on the track structure, let them contact me. If all of the above fails, you can still learn how to program it (I can help you out a bit) and do it yourself! That's how most utilities get born.

Well? Tell me about it. See you, Martin Fernandez"

My Blake Stone page has been updated. Several non-working links have been removed and others added.

BJ Rowan's three sets Project Totengraeber, The Renovation and Conflict In The Fatherland have been posted on my Fortune City server as the links on his page to these files don't work anymore.

Guy Brys has moved his site to a new URL. It's now at Guy's Home Page. Guy has sections for both Wolfenstein 3D and Blake Stone. There's a new Blake Stone level called Guystone (increased to 2 levels) to download.

September 5, 2000.

Here's a whole bunch of news from Tris...

The Final Solution gets better and better. I've put a contest on my page where you can win the BETA version 1.4c of TFS 3D. You have to translate a Dutch sentence (Dutch people may not involve the contest, though... then it wouldn't be a contest).

I also posted a new tutorial for the cheaters. It tells you how to disable the damn GOOBERS and Shift-Alt-Backspace code. All you have to do is alter 1 small line. Go check it out at my website!

Tris.

Paal Olstad released his new set Enemy Around The Corner. Though just one level - it's a very good one. Lots of pushwalls, ghosts and bosses, plus a generous helping of regular guards. Requires the full version of Wolf3D. You can get it from Poet's Wolfenstein Page.

September 2, 2000.

Here's a new Wolfenstein 3D web site. It's by Jake, and is called Little Snabes Little Wolfsite. There's a new banner too.

Nate Smith's Wolf3d World has finally gotten back online. It's at a new URL, and it looks good. Well worth the wait!!

Harry Senior sent me this pic (below) from his forthcoming add-on Gates To Hell. Harry tells me he's already completed five of the new levels.

August 30, 2000.

Ben D. Harper's tour (of his mind) is back on a new URL.

John Bucksnort has sent me a set of pics for his forthcoming Spear set Journey To Evil. He also sent me this info and pic on his latest project Beyond Tobruk:

Hi Brian - My new Wolf 3d project... Beyond Tobruk is making lots of progress, all graphics work and code changes are done... some graphics are as in the Wasteland series, but I have added NEW CEILING COLORS, SEAMLESS LEVEL FLOW FOR THE 21 LEVELS, AND EACH LEVEL NOW HAS NEW MUSIC. Here's the new title screen... John.

As mentioned earlier, a number of links weren't working in my links list. I've removed 9 links (including, sadly, the one to Ben Harper). More add-ons no longer available from those links have been added to my Fortune City site. They include W3d_cc1 and Temporary Insanity.

Adam Z. has released his first set Escape From SOD. It's for the Spear demo. Both levels are new, plus there's a number of Lost Episodes graphics. All files are included.

August 22, 2000.

There are a number of sites in my links list that aren't working anymore. I will be checking these out at the weekend. I'll update the list and post any sets no longer available. Wolf316 and Pots N' Pans have already been posted on Fortune City.

August 20, 2000.

Here's news on Japanstein by Paul and Peter. Paul has finished all the sprites while Peter has done the first ten levels. Paul tells me the set is still a long way from completion - maybe October.

John Bucksnort has released the second part of his Spear set Wastelands - Part Two. It has 7 new levels. All files are included. Here's a message sent by John earlier today.

Little Snabes has nearly finished the graphic mods for his forthcoming set Robocop.

John Bucksnort's new nine level Spear set Wastelands - Part One is ready. There are some Lost Episodes graphics and other changes.

Another new level has been added to my WolfBel3set. This makes 56 new levels. All levels work OK, both on the PC and Acorn/Archimedes computers.

A message from David Gebler...

Here is an update on the development of Biokrieg.

Biokrieg is currently at a 5-level demo beta being privately tested by my selected beta testers! It has more features than ever, including features found in DOOM, such as armour and separate ammo types for each weapon. The final version will contain 30 levels, so keep watching this space for more details of the release date.

Here's a set of pics from Tris's set TFS. They may take a while to load as there's 15 of them!!

John Bucksnort has also sent me a set of pics for his forthcoming Spear set Wastelands.

 

Here's an award I received from the SPEAR OF DESTINY FAN CLUB. Thanks guys.

August 8, 2000.

Harry Senior's new set The Abbey has five new well designed levels. There's a number of new graphics and special effects. All files are included.

August 7, 2000.

John Bucksnort's next Spear set is to be called Wastelands. John tells me he's already done three levels for the set, which will contain some graphics from Lost Episodes. Here's the title screen.

Here's an update from David Gebler...

First thing, guys, is that Project: Biokrieg will be delayed, because I went and accidently wrote over the entire project's source code with the original game code. This will delay beta testing by about 2 weeks. Sorry.

The second thing is, my site's source code page Wolfenstein 3D Insanity has been majorly updated, and now includes what I believe is the biggest set of tutorials on the web. I'll try and add more tutorials every week, so it will soon be your one-stop source for editing Wolf3D! Check it out!

A Touch Of Nazi is a compilation set which has 10 of John Bucksnort's favourite levels. It includes a level from the original Wolf3D set, but most levels are new. There are some by John, some by Harry Senior, and a secret level which I made. The Boss level is especially difficult. There's a lot of Spear graphics included and a changed title screen. All files are included.

I received this email today concerning a forthcoming add-on The Final Solution...

Dear Mr. Lowe,

I'm Tris, 14 years old, fond of all kinds of shooters (except for Quake. I really HATE Quake...), but especially like Wolfenstein 3-D and Spear of Destiny.

I am programming the Source Code for Wolfenstein 3-D pretty well and found out a lot of cool stuff (which will be told on my website soon).

For a year now, I've been busy with an add-on for Wolfenstein 3-D. It's called The Final Solution, concludes 22 levels (20 regular, 2 secret, seamless level flow) and has a whole load of new graphics and sounds, of which 80+ graphics are made by myself. No, not crappy walls with dumb paintings on them, but serious walls. For example, the hospital graphics are made by me. It took a week to get them right.

I had inspiration from a book concerning a military hospital in Dresden during the 2nd World War. I also re-drew the UberMutant.

In most add-ons, he (or it, what should I say?) looks bad with the Spear palette still on it (I mean that light purple color on the green part of his suit). I thought that it would be nice to make all colors match on his suit. So I made them match. You can't see that the Spear palette was there, I worked those stripes away perfectly.

For some changes to the source code, read on.

• Read This! and End Text altered (had to rewrite WL_TEXT.C completely)
• Seamless level flow (thanks to Brian Rowan)
• Ratio reporting on every level (except for the 4 Boss levels)
• Dogs turned into guards, they shoot instead of biting now.
• Bosses from Spear (like Ubermutant) are as strong as they were in SOD.

The game takes place in Autumn 1942. A scientist called Dr. Jurgen Schabbs has found a way to resurrect dead soldiers. Your mission as B.J. Blazcowickz is to stop Schabbs and his already undead.

The whole story, which exists of 9 Read This! pages, will come along with the full version, which should be completed within 2 months.

Thanks for reading this and I hope you'll reply.

Little Snabes sent me the following award. He tells me he'll donate one every month.

Here's some news I just received from David Gebler about his new project...

Project: Biokrieg

• Pronounced Bee-Oh-Kreeg
• Translates as BioWar

THE STORY

The ever notorious Dr. Schabbs is recovering from a disaster in his mainlab. The castle that his lab was in (Castle Schaffung) is now in ruins - and most of the guards are now hideous mutants. Dr. Schabbs hides at the top of his castle, desperately trying to contact Hitler's generals. When he finally gets through, the generals are unwilling to help, but they do send a small group of guards to help him. These guards carry two chainguns each - but luckily, there aren't many of them. You have been sent in to eliminate the guards, put an end to Dr. Schabbs, and destroy the castle. Can you do it? If you can't, you're doomed!

FEATURES -

• New graphics!
• New maps!
• Maximum Ammo is now 150!
• No cheats - you're gonna have to play these levels properly!
• Hans Grosse is now seen more often as one of the guards sent in to help
• Schabbs, but he is much weaker!
• The big guards ALWAYS drop a chaingun, and a gold key!
• New object - the Booster Box, contains 25 ammo, 25% health and a machine gun!
• Seamless level progression!
• New weapons!
• New Enemies!
• Two New Keys!

Project: Biokrieg - COMING SOON!

• NOTE: Although Biokrieg is not currently at a beta stage, I do need to recruit my beta testers NOW. I need FIVE beta testers, and ONLY five. If you are interested, please e-mail me at smooth_nite@hotmail.com stating: Your name, e-mail address, Windows or DOS version, and your reasons for wanting to test Biokrieg. If you are selected, expect a reply within one week.

-David Gebler, Webmaster, Wolfenstein 3D Insanity

Maxim Zhukov is working on a new add-on called ZombieStein. Here's some info and a pic which he emailed me recently:

• THE STORY SO FAR... in the year 2000, damned Neo-Nazi members found an ancient satanistic magic artefact and resurrected Hitler and his soldiers. Their base is within Castle Wolfenstein, which is a museum and cemetary now. You, with a group of soldiers, were sent there to stop neo-nazists, but all your group was killed. The exit is under control of neo-nazists and zombies. And you should do something to save your ass. Or zombies would eat it (he-he).

My WolfBel3 set has just been updated with 5 more new levels. There's now 55 new levels in all. All levels work OK, both on the PC and Acorn/Archimedes computers.

July 23, 2000.

Bobby Bucksnort sent me a set of pics for his forthcoming set Return to Death Castle.

Assault On Hell has been released. This is a new 46 level set by Little Snabes. There's new graphics and sounds and a changed title screen. Episode 2 has three levels by John Bucksnort, and three levels which I made. All files are included.

Here is the title screen for Bobby Bucksnort's new set called Return To Death Castle. Bobby has three more levels to complete and the set will be released soon.

John Bucknort's  Footsteps To Despair has been released. It's John's sixth and final set in the Tragedy At Istanbul series. There's nine new levels, and lots of graphics and title screen changes.

The Acorn/Archimedes version of Escape From SS Prison has been released. All ten levels now play OK on these computers.

David Gebler of the Wolfenstein 3D Insanity site gave some awards this week to other Wolf3D sites. Kenny got one, and I did too. Thanks David.

July 15, 2000.

Escape From SS Prison has ten new levels (which I made), and new graphics and sounds (done by Ronny Zeitz). Difficulty levels are similar to those in my WolfBel sets. All files are included. My apologies to Acorn/Archimedes users as the current version doesn't work on this computer. An Acorn-compatible version will be issued soon.

Bob Daum released his new TC this week. It has ten new levels and a number of new graphics and sounds. The brown guards have now become Bob's Girls. It's quite a difficult set to play. Bob is the co-author of the SR's Wolf series.

WolfMenu v1.2 is the latest version of a patch swapper program created for the DOS user who wants to launch all Wolf 3D patches and add-ons from one place text file info. It's been done by Andy Nonymous. A special version, including some difficult to find shareware sets as examples, is also available as Wolfmens text file info. This new 1.2 version supports Wolf3D v1.0, and the registered Blake Stone set. There's an upgrade and text file info for those who already have the 1.0 version.

KKK beta v1.0 is a three level set, including a secret level, plus lots of new graphics and sounds not found elsewhere. Source code changes to follow. All files are included. By M. Heijnen. 

Guy Brys emailed me to say his Guystein 2 set has a lot more levels. You can get them on Guy's Home Page.

John Bucksnort sent me some pics for his fifth set in the Tragedy At Istanbul series. It's called The Schabbs Connection. I will be doing the first secret level for this set during the weekend. John also sent me a new banner for his Wolf3d and Spear page, which has been updated recently.

June 23, 2000.

John Bucksnort has released his fourth set in the Tragedy At Istanbul series. It's called The Bunker Files and has 6 well designed levels. All files are included in the self-extracting exe.

Paul and Peter C (who did Tankstein) are working on a new set called Japanstein. Here's an email I received from Peter:

Hi Brian, I and Peter are working for a new add-on: Japanstein! We changed all the sprites with Japanese soldiers, sounds, guns. Paul.

Alexzx Arzola is also working on a new add-on for the registered set. It's Alexstein2 - The Revenge Of BJ. There's a beta version zip available which you can download from his page. The zip has new vgagraph and vswap files. If the vgagraph file doesn't work with your version of Wolfenstein (it didn't with mine) then use just the new vswap.

I came across this webpage by chance. It's called A Wolfenstein Travelogue, and is a story about playing the original game. All six episodes are covered. Text only, but still good.

My apologies to everyone for the slow loading of some of my pages (and the unavailability of the ROTT page) during the past few days. Both Globalnet and Fortune City had server problems. Everything now appears to working OK again.

June 19, 2000.

June 9, 2000.

Peter Compton sent me a new banner for his Ultimate Wolf3D Site. Here it is:

Two shareware 1.4 Wolf 3D sets that were previously bundled with Andy Nonymous's WolfMenu v1.0 patch swapper program are now available as separate zips. They are Run And Gun 3 (10 new levels by Cliff Drumeller), and Death Maps For Wolf 3-D (7 new levels by Chris Gregg). I find Run And Gun 3 the better of the two, but both sets are OK.

Paul Gibson recently found an old shareware 1.4 set, with ten new levels, called Dungeons Of Death. It's fairly difficult to play, with lots of guards and many secret areas. All difficulty levels have the same number of guards. The creator is unknown.

Maxim Zhukov is making a set for the Spear demo. It's called Nuclear Winter, and will have new graphics and a changed title screen. Here's a pic from the first level that Max sent me:

WolfMenu v1.0 is a patch swapper program created for the DOS user who wants to launch all Wolf 3D patches and add-ons from one place text file info. It's been done by Andy Nonymous. A special version, including some difficult to find shareware sets as examples, is also available as Wolfmens text file info.

Guystone is a new level (eleven new floors) for the registered Blake Stone set by Guy Brys. It's available from Guy's Home Page. I've been told this level is very good.

SR's Wolf4 was released this week. It has ten new levels and more source code changes. It's quite a difficult set with well designed levels.

A new copy of Operation: Knightwolf v1.9 has been posted. Paul Gibson (the creator) said that the original copy had a level one fault. Anyone downloading this set before June 6, please replace it with this one.

John Bucksnort sent me a set of pics for his new add-on Evil in Iron. This is John's third set in his Tragedy At Istanbul series. Six sets are planned in total.

 

Paul Gibson will be providing in-depth reviews of Wolfenstein 3D add-ons at Wolfenstein Reviewed. There's only one review at present - John Bucksnort's The Bunker - but more will follow soon.

June 4, 2000.

(Win]Elchtest sent me a 3rd pic from his Wolf3D Project. This one shows a completed new wall design.

June 3, 2000

Johnny Groves has a new web site. It's at the The Ultimate First Person Shooter. There are cheats and add-ons.

Maxim Zhukov has released a VSWAP for shareware Wolf 3d version 1.4. It's called funpack and has a number of new sounds, plus some changed walls and object designs.

The Death Key (Tragedy At Istanbul - Part II) has been released by John Bucksnort. This is a well designed fairly difficult set. As with the earlier set, all files are included in the exe. There's a set of pics available.

Thomas Hubert tells me his RDK Software page has seen some major changes during the last week.

The Complete Wolfenstein 3D Strategy Guide has been released by The Master. This project took many months of hard work to complete. There are complete level walkthroughs for all levels, information for virtually everything in the game, and plenty more.

Scott Croneberger has a new page. It's the Wolf3D Black Hole. It has source code info, plus add-ons and links. Scott's new add-on Return Of Doctor Schabbs is available there to download. This is a very good 22 level set with new graphics and many source code changes. The set will eventually have 42 levels.  

May 27, 2000

John Bucksnort has released Tragedy At Istanbul. This is a 'stand-alone' Spear Of Destiny set. All files are included in the exe. There are 11 new levels (including the 1st secret level which I made), some new graphics and a new title screen. It's a well designed, fairly difficult set. Some of the keys are in secret rooms. A set of pics have already been issued. More levels will be added later.

Will Jeffries emailed me this week with news of an add-on called Wolfenstein:Auferstehung. It's got new graphics and heavily modified levels. There's also a new health bar, and title page etc. It's currently being beta-tested and should be released soon.

Adolf Hitler's Revenge is a new 60 level add-on from Guten Tag Inc. There are some new graphics and sounds, plus a changed title screen. All files are included.

A couple more pages have gone, including Astro Core, and Dead Animals Smell Bad. The add-on previously on Dead Animals called Escape From The Labyrinth is still available from my main page.

Robert J. Daum sent me a ten level set called SR-BOB. Bob has helped Harry Senior with the SR's Wolf series, including making many of the levels. This set is very difficult. Keys are often in hidden rooms, and you get the occasional Boss too. Some of the features used in the SR's Wolf series (the black floor colour, for instance) have been retained in this set.

I checked out level 3 of Hitler's Reign, after Jim Pope asked for help in finding the gold key. The room containing the key was not accessible so I've issued an update for the map files which solves the problem. Thanks Jim for pointing this out.

Operation: Knightwolf has been updated again (now v1.9). This set from Paul Gibson now has 10 new levels. More new graphics and sounds too. Paul welcomes any feedback from his set.

Barry Christian has released his sixty seamless level set The Road To Neuschwanstein. Though there are source code changes, the atmosphere of the original game is followed closely.

May 19, 2000

Three dossier type pages were lost this week. They were Redefining John Romero, and The Joystick Interviews (two pages - one on John Romero, and one on John Carmack). Several other sites have also been unavailable, including Brandon's and Astro Core. I'll check these again next week. Also, Kurt's site has moved and has been renamed KFNetworks. It has many sections, including one for Wolfenstein 3D.

John Bucksnort sent me some new pics for his Tragedy At Istanbul set, which is for the full version of Spear. There are 6 more levels to do, and these will be completed soon. I am doing the 1st secret level and this is nearly done too. Alterations have also been made to some of the Boss actors.

My Favourite Wolf3D TC poll is still getting new votes. Totengraeber leads, but Beyond WolfII SE now shares second place with Western Wall 1.

Max Zhukov is working on a new set called Nazi Alert. This will have ten new levels and some new graphics. Here's a pic that Max sent me:

Anyone who emailed me using the link on this page during the past week, please send the message again. I lost the info on 3 Wolf 3D related messages as they were on my old computer. The link on this page has now been updated. Thanks.

Send me E-mail! - Brian 

May 13, 2000

[Win]Elchtest sent me a 2nd pic of his new flag, for the Wolf3D Project I featured a couple weeks ago.

Assault on Auchfitz is a nine level set (no secret level) for shareware Wolf 3D 1.4, done by Little Snabes . The levels are well designed, and it's a little more difficult to play than the original set, but there's a lot of first aid and ammo lying around. All files are included.

Tragedy At Istanbul is a 15 level set (2 secret levels), being made by John Bucksnort, for the full version of Spear Of Destiny. The first level is completed. Here's a set of pics that John sent me.

The Favourite Wolf3D TC poll on my main page is still getting new votes so I'm keeping it open for a while yet. Totengraeber is still ahead by one vote from Western Wall 1, which is in second place. Beyond Wolf II SE, and Buzzbomb are next.

Tim Vesper emailed me this week regarding his shareware add-on No Place To Hide. It seems the version I had on my page was not his original set. (Somebody had modified some of Tim's graphics). I've now posted Tim's original set and deleted the other one.

The Wolf 3D and Quake Club has a new logo. It's pictured below. The club has gained a lot of new members recently and now has close to 70!

The Spear Of Destiny Fan Club has been started by John Bucksnort. It's 'A place for anyone who loves The Spear.' Good luck with the new club, John!

May 10, 2000

John Bucksnort has released his new set The Bunker for the Spear demo. It's self-extracting with all files included in the exe. From what I've played thus far, it looks like a very well designed set, and difficult to beat.

RDK Software has a new banner, shown below.

I just received this new pic, from [Win]Elchtest. It shows a new flag texture, for the Wolf3D Project I featured a couple weeks ago.

May 8, 2000

Paul and Peter C. have released Tankstein. There are 60 new levels, but many of them are fairly small in size. Each episode has a different theme. These are Tank, Winter, Afrika, Night, Labyrinth and Tankfinal. There are a number of new wall designs, a changed SS guard, and - of course - the tank! There's a set of pics available.

There's a new Wolf3D page out this week. It's called Emperorlord Wolfpage and has downloads, links etc. Be sure to check out the info on the upcoming add-on Falcon's Rebellion.

The Bunker is a new set for the Spear demo. John Bucksnort will be releasing it shortly, but meanwhile there's a set of pics available.

John Bucksnort sent me his second set Gottspear. There are six new well designed levels, plus some new graphics. They are difficult, but not impossible to beat. Some keys are in hidden rooms. There's a screenshot shown opposite, and a whole bunch are available here. John tells me he's working on some Spear sets too. One is for shareware, and one for the full version.

Paul Gibson sent me the following info regarding his Operation: Knightwolf set.

• Brian- Here are some screenshots of new graphics I'm incorporating in Operation KnightWolf. The keys are actual scans of a real skeleton key, then colorized. The new wall texture (logs) is still kinda up in the air, although I think most will like it for a change. I'm working on more levels as we speak. Also, I'm doing more sound changes as well. I'll send the updated add-on when it's done. Thanks: Paul Gibson.

You can view Paul's new pics here.

Viktor Sandberg sent me a new set of levels made by his younger brother. It's called Adam Sandbergstein. There are six new levels, and they're pretty good. I'm told the creator is just nine years old. See what you think! 

The 3rd set by Harry Senior has just been released. It's called SR's Wolf3, and has ten new levels, new graphics and source code changes. 

Paul and Peter have nearly finished their Tankstein add-on. It will have 60 new levels and many new graphics. And yes, it does have a new tank! There's a pic, sent to me by Paul, shown opposite. The set should be ready for downloading in a few days. Watch this space!

Barry Christian has been working on a new TC. It's called The Road To Neuschwanstein, and he sent me the following info about it:

The Road to Neuschwanstein(TRTN) will be a stand alone TC for Wolf3d with many source code changes, including seamless level flow, ratios on every level, new items, new keys, new guards, etc. There will be 60 levels that bring an atmosphere as close to the originals as you can get.

There's more info on Barry's Wolfenstein Levels Page, and a screenshot is shown below.

May 1, 2000

Well, a second update for this week (it's a bank holiday here). Kenny has sent me some info on his latest project Operation: Ausfuhrung. Some of the new features are

The Wolfenstein Domain has moved. It also has a new layout, and a new banner!

Kenny has a new banner too. It's for his Wolfenstein 3D Mansion.

My Favourite Wolf 3D TC poll now has over 90 votes. Western Wall 1 and Totengraeber are still neck and neck for the top place. Just behind are Nate's Beyond Wolf 2 SE, and Buzzbomb. I'll keep the poll open for a couple more weeks.

Luke Strauman has just released his second TC. It's called Project Esiam, and has 10 new levels, some new graphics and source code changes.

Ronny Zeitz sent me his new VSWAP for Rotzi2. There are some new wall and object designs, plus a number of new sounds for the actors. I find the German Shepherd sounds particularly effective. Below is a screenshot showing the new Hans Grosse. I am working on some new levels for this set. The first one is completed, and a secret level is nearly done too.

'The Sliver' has a new bulletin board The Sliver's UBB.

I just started a Rise Of the Triad page. After Wolfenstein 3D, I like this game the most. It didn't achieve the success it deserved because it was overshadowed by Doom. There's not a lot there yet, but I hope to develop it in the near future.

John Bucksnort has just released his first set of levels. They are for the shareware version of Wolfenstein 3D. The set is called Grossed Out. All levels have been changed, and I did the secret one. They're fairly difficult to play. Some keys are in hidden rooms, and Hans Grosse appears on several of the levels (hence the title). John also has a new webpage.

I just received news of a new Wolf3D Project which will be based on the Quake 3 engine. As you'd expect, the quality of the maps is outstanding.

Viktor Sandberg sent me a new banner for Arena Productions.

And there's one for Wolfenstein ARENA!! too.

Viktor also sent me this info regarding the new add-on Fear Of The Dark?

Rod is working on a NEW add-on called Fear Of The DARK?, and he gets pretty much help from ME. There's just the maps left to do. We don't know yet if there's going to be source code changes in it. But it will have 30 levels and as many new graphics as a TC.

We hope it will be out 5th may (the birthday of wolfenstein 3d(full version).

Rod's email address is rod@emaila.nu

I'm currently working on a web-page for AP too.

Patch-O-Matic. This is not new, but I only just downloaded it. For Windows users, this download offers an ideal way to get 6 of the best S/ware sets in one ZIP. You get the original game included too, and it's menu driven. The sets are Halloween, Alien Wolf, Pacman/Demon Clowns, Xmas Wolf, Lost Episodes and Barneystein. Check it out on Mike's Wolfenstein 3-D Page.

Guy Brys has just released his new add-on called Guystein2. This is a sequel to his first set. There are twenty more levels with 144 guards on each one (solving a puzzle gives you the 2nd ten). Find it on Guy's Home Page.

Two new web pages have surfaced since my last update. The first is RDK Software. This has Wolf 3D add-ons, Starcraft maps etc, and is by Thomas Hubert. The other is Wolf3-D Headquarters, and includes the story of Wolf3D, other info and downloads .

I just received an email from Luke Strauman regarding Project Esiam. Here it is:

Hello I have some information on Project Esiam. Lighting effect, level ending item and a fifth weapon were added. I have decided not to put the seamless level progression in the game. Levels 1-10 are done. Things I have left to do: shot gun ammo and 20 more levels.

April 1, 2000

Spacestein now has three new levels. I issued an update to this set after only one extra level as it will be the last for a while. Thomas Hubert will be making some more levels, but I am now concentrating on levels for Future Of Nazi and Rotzi 2. For those who have an earlier version, a (maps only) update is available here. Both updates include a doc file listing most of the new wall definitions.

After 41 votes, my Favourite Wolf 3D TC poll has given Totengraeber a clear lead. Western Wall I is second, with Buzzbomb third. There are eleven TC's listed and each one now has at least one vote.

Operation: Knightwolf (now v1.7) has been updated. This new version has 7 new levels (6 regular, one secret) from Paul Gibson. More new graphics and sounds too. Find it here.

• Paul welcomes any feedback from his set - email him here.

March 24, 2000

Thomas Hubert sent me his latest set Terror Returns. I've only had a quick look thus far, but he's put a lot of effort into the levels this time.

There's a new Favourite Wolf3D TC poll on my main page. I took the old one off because it seems you could vote more than once. Somebody pushed up the vote for Buzzbomb to 27 in one day! Early returns from the new one give the lead to Western Wall I, with Buzzbomb and Totengraeber equal second.

I started the Arena Productions club on Yahoo. (The idea actually came from Viggo Sandberg). The aims of AP were outlined last week, and it will give members a place to talk and post messages.

Luke Strauman, the creator of Operation Buzzbomb, emailed me yesterday. Seems he was unaware until recently of the bad publicity surrounding the set. Just to put the record straight, he said he did have permission to use graphics from the WolfenDOOM sets. He didn't copy them from Nate's BWII - which was the main criticism - it's just that Nate's set came out first.

Anyways, Luke's got a new set coming out soon. It's called Project Esiam and there's a set of pics available. Take a look, I doubt if anyone can accuse him of stealing graphics this time!

I came across a number of shareware Wolf 3D add-ons last week. Some of them are not new but it's the first time I've seen them. One is called Wolfenplum. It uses version 1.4, but all the required files are included in the zip.

Four other sets require s/ware version 1.0, and are listed on the Games From The God website. They are

• The Final Assault
• The Crumbling Reich (Parts 1 and 2)
• Trial By Fire

One more set, which I posted, is Spacestein. It's for the full version, and has new graphics and sounds by Maxim Zhukov. It has 2 levels which I made. Anyone who already downloaded an earlier one level version of this set can get a 2 level update.

March 17, 2000

This page has become pretty large and I will be putting a lot of the earlier news into a separate page. Anyways, for now, on with the news to date.

There's yet another (the 4th!) Yahoo Wolf 3D Club. This time, it's The Limited Wolf 3D Club.

I finally posted Future Of Nazi by Maxim Zhukov. This has the new VSWAP, with a lot of new graphics, and one new level which I made.

Barry Christie has a new banner for his page. Here it is!

Paal Olstad released Wolf-Extra II. The set, which needs the full version of Spear, can be found on Poet's Wolfenstein Page. There's a hint manual available too.

Viggo_Sandberg has published his awards.

Viktor Sandberg has also set up Arena Productions. Well, this is a team who makes wolfenstein 3d add-ons.

In Arena Productions, you can work on your own project BUT if you need help with graphics, maps, beta testers or source code you can

ask a member!

RULES

1. A guy in Arena Productions (AP) ALWAYS help other guys in AP.

2. You don't need to quit your own project, but you need to tell all about it for the other guys in AP if they want.

A member of AP can NOT tell about another guys add-on until it almost has been released (if the creator of the add-on tells you that you can't do it).

The members of AP now is:

Viktor Sandberg (me), Finn (von_finn), kenny, scott croneberger AND stressed

Thomas Hubert has been working on some new levels for Blake Stone. Here's a pic he sent me.

The full version of Ken's Labyrinth is now available free on Ken Silverman's Official Home Page. There's a number of other interesting downloads there too.

Ben Blaufarb now has a home page. He has a number of wall textures and sprites you can download for your own use on Astro Core.

Maxim Zhukov sent me a pic of Future of Nazi. Here it is. I'll be posting the set, with the first level done, in a few days. Maxim has asked if anyone would like to make some levels for this set. The VSWAP has a large number of interesting wall designs. Please contact him on maxzhuk@yahoo.com if you want to help out. There will be a sequel called Spacestein.

There's a new Wolf 3D website at The Ultimate Wolfenstein 3-D Site. It has info, downloads etc. The links section is still under construction. It's by Peter Compton.

March 4, 2000

Maxim Zhukov is continuing with his Future of Nazi project. I've made a start on helping him with the new levels ( just one level, thus far - though Maxim has done some others). Many changes have already been made to the graphics.

Operation: Knightwolf has five new levels (4 regular, one secret). There's some new graphics and sounds too. It was done by Paul Gibson. 

Thomas Hubert has just set up a news page. This is the start of a new Wolf 3D site. It's at Wolf3d News.

Marty Beltran recently sent me updates for his Cool Wolf set. All the 1st episode, and some of the 2nd one, have new levels. There's also a number of modified graphics and sounds.

February 26, 2000

Some late news from Kenny of The Wolfenstein 3D Mansion. I've just won his Best Site award. Here it is.

Thomas Hubert tells me he's nearly finished his current add-on Terror Returns. Maps are 99 per cent done, and the graphics are finished. After a little more testing it'll be handed over to Kurt for some source code changes. Screenshots should be coming in a few days.

I put up the complete set of maps - in GIF form - for the Spear set, including the Lost Episodes. Each map can be viewed individually, and there are 3 ZIP's available, containing all the GIF's for each episode. 

Kenny has posted a new set of Spear maps too! They're on his new Spear of Destiny page.

Re the Future of Nazi add-on, I will be helping Maxim Zhukov with some of his levels. More news about this when I have it.

This site has a new banner. Use it if you want, in your links.

Harry Senior sent me his SR's Wolf2 set. There are ten more levels and the graphics are as used previously. It's another very good set! Two Screenshots are available.

There's been a sharp reduction in the number of messages posted on the Wolfenstein 3D Fan Club recently. There have been periods of very slow loading etc, but it still gets 9 or 10 members visiting every day. So come on guys - post more messages!!

February 19, 2000

I just received this email from Maxim Zhukov

Hello! Here is a news for Your Wolfenstein 3D page : I am making an addon "Future of Nazi". There already is public-alpha. But the project is still not finished and needs some cool level editors. Best regards, MadMax.

Here's a screenshot:

No Place To Hide has ten very large levels, plus a lot of modified graphics (including many from Lost Episodes). Very difficult, but not impossible to beat. Although this set is shareware, all the required files are included in the ZIP. Get it from Shawn Moseley's Wolf 3D Page. 

My WolfBel3 has just been updated and now has 50 new levels. A couple of minor bugs have been removed - such as a blocked passage on episode 1 level 8 when played on a PC. 

The Wolfenstein 3D Hideout Fan Club has been started by Kenny. It has 13 new members already. He has a new web page too. It's at The Wolfenstein 3D Mansion. There are links, add-ons and much more.

The Wolfenstein Domain has moved from Xoom. Hope it all goes well guys!

February 13, 2000

Harry Senior sent me a new set called SR's Wolf. He tells me both Nate and Spiff have helped out here so it's just gotta be good! There are 10 new levels, plus a lot of new graphics! All the required files are included in the ZIP. Here's a screenshot. I posted several others on the Wolf 3D and Quake Club.

Matt also sent me a set with 10 new levels (shareware - this time) called Wolf_2. This is an old set, but I've not seen it before. The style is similar to the original game, but it's more difficult to play. Although it's version 1.1, all the required files are included in the ZIP.

Thomas Hubert has issued some info about his new add-on. It's to be called Terror Returns, and here are some of its features:

• 10 levels set into 4 areas
• new graphics
• source code changes
• wicked story

Kurt became the 50th member of the Wolf 3D and Quake Club. Thanks Kurt for joining! The club has seen several other new members join during the past few weeks, and I welcome these too. The Wolfenstein 3D Fan Club is also doing well following its relaunch. It now has 32 members, with new ones joining most days.

I updated the cheats section on my Extras page, and added Wolfenstein Plus to the Site Search facility. Thanks to Ben for agreeing to this.

We lost a page this week - Jim's Wolf3D/SoD Page - but we gained one too. It's called Guy's Home Page, and is by Guy Brys.

There's a Wolf3D section with an add-on to download called Guystein. There's a screenshot on the right. This set has 60 very large new levels, plus some changed graphics. There are no bosses but most levels have the maximum 149 guards. You only get 30 levels at first though (eps. 3 thru 5), for you have to email Guy for the code to unlock a 2nd zip for the other 30 levels.

I posted an updated version of WolfBel3. There's now 46 new levels. Thomas Hubert did episode 5 level 5. Thanks Thomas - it's a very good level!

January 30, 2000

It's been a while! There's a new Wolf3D site at Greg's Wolfenstein 3d Page. It has info on the game, plus a number of links. News too, of Greg's forthcoming add-on. It's called Project Einmacht.

Spifferaneous released his new add-on Western Wall I . It has 30 new levels and doesn't need the registered set to play. There are a lot of graphics and source code changes too. A very well designed set. There's a screenshot from the first level shown right.

Another new set is Golden Eye. It comes from Robb, of Baltimore. This is a new 4 level set (which requires the full version). This set has very extensive, and well designed levels. Most levels have keys placed in secret areas and some of these are well hidden. If you like this set, please let Robb know as it may encourage him to do some more.

Nate Smith is working on a new add-on called Spetsnaz. This promises to be a very good TC, considering Nate's past output. Thomas Hubert is doing one too. This will have ten new levels, source code and graphics changes. More news on this when I have it.

The Wolfenstein 3D Fan Club was closed down by Yahoo a few days ago. Rumours are still circulating about it, but it seems that somebody posted some naughty pics there. My commiserations to Dave, who worked so hard to get this club to be the success that it was. Nate Smith has set up Wolfenstein 3D Fan Club in it's place. Thanks Nate, hope this goes well.

January 15, 2000

The Wolf 3D and Quake Club has a new logo. Thomas Hubert, the club founder, tells me that the original one was looking a little out of date. Here it is...

By chance, I discovered a set of graphics called Mortal Kombat for the Wolfenstein 3D full version. They date from 1992!!! The blue SS and undead guards have been totally changed (apart from the sounds), and so have most of the bosses. Some walls and objects have been changed too, particularly the wall portraits. As there were no new levels, I added those from my WolfBel2 set. Here's a screenshot.

I put a link to Xenu's Link Sleuth. I find it useful for checking broken links. It checks external links too, and it's free.

Thomas Hubert announced his awards for Best Page for Wolfenstein 3D. Here are the results:

• 1: Mr Lowes Wolf3d page- although it does not look as pretty as some other pages, no other sites have as many add-ons or links.
• 2: BJ's Hide Out- for sure the best looking wolf page on the net, it would have got 1st, but it has barely any info, only 5 add-ons, and old links.
• 3: The Wolf3d Bunker- so much great info on the source code! I don't think you can get that much info any place else.
• Honourable Mention: Spifferaneous Wolf3-D Empire- Spiff went through a lot, his first page was taken down, his doom page was taken down as well, and now he has this. It is good. And here it gets an award.

January 8, 2000

I posted Wolfenstein In Sweden. This is shareware and has 4 different map sets with one modified graphics set. The site this was on has disappeared.

THE sliver now has his own domain, and his page has been transferred to it. He is currently working on a new add-ons section. He also announced his Site of the Month award for January, and this time it was given to the Wolfenstein 3-D Domain. Well deserved!

January 1, 2000

Another new year. Here's hoping it goes well for everyone. During the week, Kurt released his new TC Return To Wolfenstein. There are twenty new levels, plus some graphics and source code changes.
