Doom Picture Viewer
v.005 - 1/14/94
Programmed by DJ SKI
(I finally found something interesting to do besides make Strip
Poker cheats!)
Run this in the same directory as your DOOM v1.1 registered
DOOM.WAD file.
Q - moves back one picture
A - moves forward one picture
P - moves forward one palette
A - moves back one palette
T - toggles 1/15 panels
ESC - exits!
Well, as you can see, I'm currently on .005 of this, so don't
expect much. There are a bunch of 64x64 pictures at the end of
the DOOM.WAD. This views them. Unfortunately, I have no idea
how to set up the palette the way they are displayed in DOOM.
This will be a problem throughout this program. There are 14
256 color palettes set up in the front of DOOM.WAD Thats what P
and A cycle through. Obviously, this doesn't do anything very
useful.
Take a look at the way DOOM displays floors and walls. It
changes the color of EACH INDIVIDUAL pixel as it goes along. In
other words, even though a floor panel might consist of just one
color, DOOM displays it as a number of different colors at the
same time. It's almost as though it's not just a question of
changing a palette. It's like DOOM looks at each floor/wall/etc
panel pixel and assigns it a new color. Or something. I can't
explain it. Just walk slowly through DOOM and watch how the
floors and walls and other things change colors.
Also, the 'move back and forth between pictures' doesn't check
to see if you have gone before or beyond the first and last
picture. So eventually, you will be looking at garbage. This
shouldn't pose any threat to your system, 99.9% sure of that.
But no guarantees! If you see more than 4 screens of complete
garbage, go back the other way!
This is extremely BETA software - just for the amusement of the
users of the Eschaton. If you're not one of them, well, then, I
guess someone thought this program was cool enough to upload
somewhere else. What people will do for points these days!
A new version should pop up every day or two as I work on it.
