Wavy Posted September 13, 2021 (edited) FYI the texture name is BROWNWEL in the TEXTURE2 lump. This texture doesn't seem to appear in Doom 2. Edit: Ack that was already pointed out. 0 Share this post Link to post
dyshoria Posted September 13, 2021 i have never noticed that texture before 0 Share this post Link to post
Apprentice Posted September 13, 2021 It was only used once in the original game, it had more use in custom wads and TC's. Aliens TC was the first who made more use of it IIRC . . . 1 Share this post Link to post
Faceman2000 Posted September 13, 2021 It was in an early version of Downtown (Map13) back when the level was supposed to include a dock section, but that was obviously cut before release. 7 Share this post Link to post
Skootroot Posted September 13, 2021 Never even noticed it, weird it's only used in one map though 0 Share this post Link to post

OldDoomer Posted September 13, 2021 GREYDANG (the red sign with a figure on it) I believe is an even rarer texture than BROWNWEL. It only appears in E2M6, and while it shows up twice - BROWNWEL is used three times - you only see it once in E2M6 as a trigger lifts the other side it is attached to. 4 Share this post Link to post

Yeah it is more rare but it is super easy to find. You even see it if you are jus playing through normally. 0 Share this post Link to post
Scypek2 Posted September 13, 2021 Now I'm just curious what "WEL" in "BROWNWEL" stands for. A well-welded well with a couple of walves? 2 Share this post Link to post

FWIW when the uniqueness of BROWNWEL came up in Things About Doom You Just Found Out I discovered several others that only appear on a single linedef. None were particularly visually distinct like BROWNWEL or GRAYDANG, though; only variations of more widely-used textures, hardly noticable without an automated search. 7 hours ago, Faceman2000 said: It was in an early version of Downtown (Map13) back when the level was supposed to include a dock section, but that was obviously cut before release. Thank you for this (and @Synuś Vader for the video); I had no idea. They should have left the harbour in, it's cool! 2 Share this post Link to post

It's well brown, innit? 4 hours ago, RjY said: They should have left the harbour in, it's cool! I think it made the map too big and prone to visplane errors. And you'll see the BROWNWEL texture show up in various old-school PWADs from back around that time; I remember the very start of the classic UCA.wad had one - 3 Share this post Link to post
