DoomEd (formerly known as Wadder and Doom Editor - The Real Thing) is a shareware sector based easy access level editor for Windows 3.1, supporting Doom, Ultimate Doom, Doom II and to a degree Heretic, by Geoff Allan. It also features a built-in basic WAD editor and a node-builder.
DoomEd was one of the first Windows editors released and also had then one of the most automated UIs, making it the ideal choice for people new to Doom mapping. The last version was released in January of 1995 and the source was later released in mid 1997.
Features[edit]
- Wire-frame 3D preview
- Error checking
- Previewing graphics, sprites, flats, textures, etc.
- Replacing specific things, textures and flats with another thing, texture or flat in a map (e.g. replacing all cyberdemons with shotgun guys)
- Map statistic counter
- Searching for specific things, textures and flats
- Naming tags, making it possible to track behavior via the name, not just the tag number
- This is stored in the TAGDESC lump following the rest of the map's lumps (after BLOCKMAP), previously stored as PLATFORM
