The WAD format for the Press Beta is not in the orthodox WAD format. To my knowledge there exists no mainstream editor that is capable of decompressing/recompressing the resources in the Press Beta WAD. I think this should be mentioned in the article, too.

Revision as of 09:01, 27 September 2009
It seems that you can't gib zombies in the beta, should it be added? oTHErONE (Contribs) 23:24, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
- Screw it, I'll be bold. oTHErONE (Contribs) 10:27, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- I would say yes, anyway. It's a difference. -- TheDarkArchon 11:59, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
Textures and sprites
I noted that althought it is very similar to the final release, the graphics and textures cannot be edited or even be looked at by using WAD editing tools like NWT or XWE. Is tere any way to edit them or just uncompress them? hfc2X 22:38, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

- DEUTEX can. Didn't notice the contradiction earlier, but yes, it absolutely can. I successfully used it to do just that. You have to use the -ipf pr parameter on the command line. For the Doom alphas, you use -ipf alpha. There's also -tf, -itf and -otf which can be set to normalstrife11 to manipulate textures in Strife's format. If people read the readmes (okay, the "manpage.txt") they would know this kind of stuff. --Gez 14:01, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
