Hi guys,

It seems I lost my password/connection settings to the doomworld.com/xwe page, so I'll just post a note here.

I promised here http://www.doomworld.com/vb/xwe/341...ode/#post570481 that I'd release the XWE source code once I decide to stop maintaining it. It's available for download at the usual place here: http://ca.geocities.com/xwe@rogers.com/. This wasn't really a "decision", more like a realization - I don't have time for it anymore. Nevertheless, someone may find something useful in there. I'd be happy to see new and/or bugfixed versions of it.

It's written in Delphi 5 (I know, ancient). One quick note: if PNGImage/CodeMax/Zip handlers give you trouble, you're probably better off commenting out anything that deals with those parts. I don't think those are essential to WAD editing, and could be replaced with other libraries.

Finally, big thanks to Martin Howe, the only person who ever sent me a donation. It was appreciated :-)

Yeah, I can forsee great things with this in the near future. Glad to see the source is finally out!

~~Does it have any license? So far I see nothing about such thing in the ZIP, so I guess no.~~
Oh, it's GNU. Sorry.

Geocities went down back in october. So your site link doesn't work.

P.S. It took me 10 minutes to write this because my Vista froze up and crashed as I was writing. :(

Can't find it on ReoCities or OoCities either, fortunately Kaiser's backup link still works - which is suprising considering it's on SpeedyShare. If there are no objections I'll submit XWE and it's source to the archive for safekeeping.

If you mean the archive on SpeedyShare - use 7-Zip

Related to this, can anyone provide a link to the missing dependencies in the current source ?

Unless the one I got from Kaiser's backup link is an older/incomplete version, it seems to be missing certain required source files: apart from the CodeMax_TLB dependency (nearly impossible to find), there are other referenced (but not included) "Stringz", "MRUSupport", "Evaluation" etc. units that are required to get it working. I don't know if these were standard in Delphi 5, but they sure are not included in Delphi 7 (and their definitions in XWE.dpr point to user-defined folders).

It's also too much guesswork to see which unit contained which functions/procedures.

Pretty OT: has anyone actually got it to compile as-is? Am I missing something?
