The package has a choice of batch files, DosNew (gives black floors/ceilings), and DosWolf (gives normal floors/ceilings).

‘Ilovefoxes’ has been working on a port for Wolf3D called ‘DWolf’ and has sent in a set of 10 pics. Here are some comments from the author: “What I don’t like in Wolf is the engine and frame rate, so, here is something I have done (with some inspiration from Wolfendoom) to port it to a better engine (Eduke – Duke Nukem port), copying Doom way to work (gibing deaths, etc) and adding Mac family owns. I think I will use Mac Wolf sounds, they seem to have a correct German, but I can be wrong.”

The first 3 episodes have been released before as ‘Trilogy Revisited’ though 2 of the episode 1 levels have since been revised. The episodes 4 thru 6 are completely new (hence Nocturnal Missions) and are nicely made in the original Wolf3D style. The decoration is about right and use of the different types of guards has been done very well. This is a very good set of levels for those who like playing the original Wolf3D game. Needs the original full Wolf3D game to play.

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.

31st August 2007: DOSBox 0.72 Released
A new version of DOSBox has been released. There are a number of improvements listed though when I tried it with some mods with a lot of code changes, there still seemed to be a lot of drag when playing.
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.

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.

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

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 64×64 images to 128×128 images with a different palette, so all the 64×64 images I’ve already made for my mod aren’t going to be used. I’m therefore releasing the 64×64 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.”
