Editors & Utilities
Ever
wanted to create your own game? Modify the game to suit your liking? Well, here
are the tools that you can use to create maps, change graphics, and sounds. Some
editors do more than others. Sometimes is takes more than one of these editors to achieve
your objective. Enjoy them, and we hope they help make your project a complete
success!
Mapedit
This program has come in many versions, but is still one of the most often used
programs for creating new levels, editing original levels,
or just looking around to see how
things were done and where things are.
Mapedit 8.4
- This
is the latest version of this program is 8.4, and while it does support the most
features, it does limit you to editing the full versions only.
This editor also
edits: Blake Stone (both versions), Operation: Bodycount, Corridor
7, as well as Wolfenstein
3d and Spear of Destiny.
Mapedit 7.2
- The last
version of Mapedit that edited the shareware versions of the game. This editor
does not work with any other games except Wolfenstein 3d and
Spear of Destiny.
Note:
If you are running a P6 processor (Pentium I) running at more
than 200mhz, then you will need
to apply the following patch for Mapedit to run on your machine.

Wolfedit
Wolfedit 2.1 - The original
graphics editting/insertion-extraction utility.
Yes it's old and not as fancy as some of the newer editors,
but it works just fine. Great
for those times when you just need to fix something quick.
Wolf
Sound
Wlfaud11
- This sound
program works for the Shareware versions of Wolfenstein 3d.
Wolfsnd - This program
works with the Full version of Wolfenstein 3d.
Floedit
This is one amazing editor! It was the first
to allow you to change graphics in the VGAGRAPH file (Things
like title picture and more).
It is an all in one editor that allows you to edit graphics,
sounds, and maps. Works
with all versions of Wolfenstein and Spear of Destiny.
To
Download the latest version of this editor, you must visit
the authors homepage: Click
Here - Please note the lastest version has been reported
to not work correctly on all systems.
If you find you are having problems with it, you may download
an earlier version of it (version
1.1 - with less features) by clicking here.
Note:
When importing graphics with this program, you may find they
don't look right in the view.
This is due to it using the Wolfenstein 3d colour palette only.
ie: if you are
working with Spear graphics, certain colours are changed in
the Spear palette. While
it looks wrong on the screen, it will be fine once played in
your game.
WDC
This is a new program/editor being created for the
community by Adam Biser. WDC stands for Wolf3D Data Compiler
and is a full-featured editor
for Wolfenstein 3-D and Spear of Destiny. WDC also works
with Blake Stone 1 and 2, Operation
BodyCount, Corridor 7, Catacomb 3D, the Catacomb trilogy, and
Commander Keen 4-6. However,
some of these additional games have only partial functionality.
The help file contains a chart
detailing available functionality for each game.
This
program is a work in progress and is available from Adam's
site: Click

new editor being created by the people at Chaos Software.

available for public download. When it is, you can get

Other Helpful Utilities
Creator
This
program will generate random maps for Wolfenstein 3d Registered
- All 60 Levels.
While it does a fairly decent job, the levels generated will
still require personalization.
So you may want to use this as a starting point to generate
random layouts.
Gamegen
This program will generate random maps for Spear
of Destiny - Registered - 21 Levels. As with the creator
above, the maps are varied and
rather simple. It's recommended that you edit the levels
after using the creator to give
them more flair!
Sod2 Designers
Kit
This is one of the best starter kits out there.
It uses a highly advanced and updated source by MCS, with graphics
by Areyep. If you
need something to get you started, and you want more than the
original game features, then
this is the download for you! Click
here
to Download - This is the engine that MCS and Areyep used
to create SOD2 or Spear Resurrection,
one of the hotest games to be made in the last few years using the Wolf3d source as a
starting point.
