Fraggle - sounds good... what exactly would we need?
Probably not much, actually. If you look at the list of things we need for a shareware wad, we have:
Textures - we probably have all the textures we need already, the number missing if any will be small
Graphics (menus etc) - Mostly the menu graphics and the between-level stuff. Most of the other graphics have already been done.
Music - We already have an overabundance of music. No problem there.
Levels - We only need 10 levels, I'm sure there are plenty of E1-style levels already out there that we could use.
Misc lumps - playpal, colormap etc. Done.
Sprites - Main priority here is the monsters. Episode 1 didnt have that many different monsters - we only need replacements for the Demon and Baron[s] of Hell (all others are already done). Some of the other miscellaneous items need to be done as well, of course (powerup items).
Sound Effects - We need people to do sound effects pretty desperately. The shareware wad, by my count only has 55 sound effects (doom2.wad has 108), but these are "core" sound effects. Some have been done already (20-30). In the worst case we could always fill in the remaining sound effects with blank sounds, although that would suck.
I think this would be really useful. As well as bringing back interest in Freedoom it would fill in some of the big holes we have.
