I'm happy to announce that the following programs have just been

released:

* Mk_Wad2 - This is an updated version of the first program and it

allows you to extract all textures from either the Shareware Version

or the Full Version (auto-detecting). It will also extract the BSP

files first if you have not already done so. This is availible from

ftp.cdrom.com.

* DoomTex - This program allows you to extract all textures from

either Shareware DOOM, Ultimate DOOM or DOOM II and put

them in the Wad2 format for Quake. This allows more accurate

conversions of DOOM levels and another resource of textures

for new levels. (Note that these textures remain property of id

Software and can't be distributed..distribute DoomTex instead).

This program is availible from ftp.cdrom.com or my WWW pages.

* QuakeDM!! - This program (to be released *soon*) allows you

to convert DOOM/DOOM2 levels to Quake MAP files. DOOM

level geometery and textures are converted into Quake format,

and texture alignment is compensated for (as much as possible).

Objects are also substituted, such as monsters and shotguns.

To run this program you need a DoomTex.wad, and a version of

QBSP (the Quake Map Builder) that is able to handle more than

16 faces, such as PowerQBSP. When released this program

will be availible from ftp.cdrom.com and my WWW page, which

will also contain information about releases.

Enjoy!.. :)

Mike.
