DOOM II stuff

These pages are basically here just to keep my friends informed of the wads, utilities and such that I happen to stumble across. This document is no longer updated.

Utilities

I'm not really into these (though I've tried quite a few). So, the version numbers may not be the most recent ones, just those that I've had my hands on. Some of these may also be shareware, so if you use them, please register.

dl102.zip

A very neat little utility for wad maintenance. Some of the features include:

description, ranking and grouping of wads
handling compressed wads (zip)
separate save games (6) for each wad
shareware

nwt103.zip

A very neat utility for wad resource maintenance. Everything happens real fast, including deleting of resources; back up your DOOM2.WAD

import/export of any resource into/out of PWADs
playing of sounds & music through SoundBlaster
shareware

Single player wads

The wads mentioned here are ment to be played as single player wads. If they also make good cooperative or deathmatch wads, I'll try to mention it. Kill 'em all.

bitchin.zip

A collection of 6 levels with a lot happening.

doesn't support skill levels
baddies seem to come in numbers (and then nothing)
some nice sound samples as well

kronin.zip

A huge brick fort for single or co-op play.

use your favourite shotgun w/ plenty of ammo
no monsters, really (well, maybe one)

proxima.zip

Nice action level with a lot happening in the beginning. After you've killed most of the baddies, things settle down to a very quiet pace.

excellent choice of music
a bit large, might work as 3-4 player DM

raven.zip

11 levels with realistic block layouts. Nice to move around, but not too hard on easier difficulty settings.

may be suitable for 3-4 player DM

rigel1.zip

Large complex with a lot to do. Not that much health, so stay out of trouble. Nice for practicing those urban combat situations.

propably too large for DM (haven't tried as co-op)
similar to stoker2

slugfest.zip

A collection of 10 beautifully designed levels of mayhem.

some may work well as DM levels
the enemies seem to come in packs, but at least there's some
all weapons except BFG

stoker2.zip

Large complex with a lot to do. Nice for practicing those urban combat situations.

though it is placed in DM I'd rather not try
similar to rigel1

wtrfront.zip

Beautiful layout with suitable action. Check out the shooting range!

nice tricks
cool music; talk about atmosphere
when played may crash the game (haven't experienced this myself yet)

Deathmatch

Obviously these are ment for serious killing of smart opponents only. My main interest is in 2-3 player deathmatch as that happens to be our more regular group/setup. Some may be suitable for single play as well.

arena-ii.zip

A small pit like arena surrounded by high walls with inner hallways. Most of the fighting takes place on the hallways (where all the goodies are).

compact for 2-3 players
plenty of stuff for DM 2.0
tough for single play

brikyard.zip

Square area with 5 small "towers" packed with goodies. The towers can be used as sniping points, but they can be easily taken over.

compact for 2-3 players
plenty of stuff for DM 2.0 (contains all the goodies)
single play works well as a demo

medideth.zip

Large square filled with boxes of various sizes. Most weapons present with plenty of health and armor.

for 2-3 players

Other places of interest

I've tried to find some of the more useful www-pages and collect them here. As it is, there are tons of DOOM related pages (one of which is now mine). Needless to say, they serve different purposes as well as different tastes. So, these made me smile:
