We had a DooM event, so now it's time for a Wolf 3D event! Making maps for Wolf 3D is incredibly easy, so all are encouraged to take part! The plan is to put all the levels together to form a new episode or two, complete with a custom title screen!

So, what do you need?

1. A copy of Wolfenstein 3D. The shareware edition is fine, though the full version will give you more to play with.

2. A way to play Wolfenstein. You can use DOSBox if you wish, but there are also sourceports (I use NewWolf): http://top-sourceports.tsx.nl/wolfenstein-3d.html

3. An editor. I use Havoc's Wolf Editor. It's full-featured, easy to use and even includes built-in documentation and tutorials: http://hwolf3d.dugtrio17.com/index.php?section=hwe

4. If those tutorials are a bit too heady, here is a nice one that gives you the basics of Wolf 3D level design. It's for a different editor, but it's pretty much the same stuff: http://www.wolfenstein3d.co.uk/levels.htm

5. Inspiration. Ellaguro wrote some great articles about Wolf 3D's level design, which could give you some good ideas. With some imagination, you can make something special in Wolf 3D, despite how limited it appears to be. http://ellaguro.blogspot.com.au/search/label/wolfenstein

READY...

FIGHT!

And by fight, I mean design levels.

This is a bit of a loose event. A few friends are hoping to have a LIVE JAM, but that might not happen. Really, just add levels here and we'll put it together in an episode when we have enough/too many levels! You can even post levels you've previously made that you're proud of. Unless we reach 60 levels. Then we're screwed.

The final collection will likely use the full version of Wolfenstein, we'll just have to cut out all the official levels to avoid any piracy issues.

OH, one more thing. Please export your maps, so that you don't have to upload Wolfenstein 3D with your work. All the map files will be pulled together at the end of the event.
