Omgifol

Omgifol is a Python library for WAD files. It is open source software written by Fredrik Johansson and released under the terms of the MIT License. The most recent version, 0.2, was released May 12, 2005. Since then a few more updates were added to the repository that are not bundled in the v0.2 package.

In September 2015 the author confirmed that the original library is no longer being maintained, and recommended to use one of the available forks.

Features

 * Basic lump management (copying, moving, renaming, saving to files, etc)
 * Editing the following special lumps: COLORMAP, PLAYPAL, TEXTURE1/PNAMES
 * Saving/loading most common image formats
 * Editing maps
 * Encoding/decoding linedef types (including Boom types)

Code example
, a demo script that mirrors maps in a WAD, which is included in the 0.2 release: from sys import argv from omg import * from omg.mapedit import *

def mirror(map): ed = MapEditor(map) for v in ed.vertexes: v.x = -v.x   for l in ed.linedefs: l.vx_a, l.vx_b = l.vx_b, l.vx_a for t in ed.things: t.x = -t.x       t.angle = (180 - t.angle) % 360 ed.nodes.data = "" return ed.to_lumps

def main(args): if (len(args) < 2): print "   Omgifol script: mirror maps\n" print "   Usage:" print "   mirror.py input.wad output.wad [pattern]\n" print "   Mirror all maps or those whose name match the given pattern" print "   (eg E?M4 or MAP*)." print "   Note: nodes will have to be rebuilt externally.\n" else: print "Loading %s..." % args[0] inwad = WAD outwad = WAD inwad.from_file(args[0]) pattern = "*" if (len(args) == 3): pattern = args[2] for name in inwad.maps.find(pattern): print "Mirroring %s" % name outwad.maps[name] = mirror(inwad.maps[name]) print "Saving %s..." % args[1] outwad.to_file(args[1])

if __name__ == "__main__": main(argv[1:])

Drawing maps
Another included demo script is to save map preview images. This script is one of the tools most suitable for creating on Doom Wiki. After the initial v0.2 release, Fredrik made further improvements to its handling of the specified image dimensions.

In April 2016, Frans P. de Vries added support for a scale parameter that is applied to all requested map images, and for optional verbose logging. The following example command renders all DOOM2.WAD maps at the same scale (with only the largest maps sized down to fit within 1600 pixels) so the viewer gets a good impression of the size differences between them: python drawmaps.py DOOM2.WAD MAP* 1600 4.0

Trivia
"OMGIFOL" stands for "Oh My God! It's Full Of Lumps!"
