It is mentioned in this 2001 post by @Linguica. Unfortunately that version was almost immediately replaced with the the well known av-extracted.zip release. It seems impossible to find anywhere. i found this file, hope it's what your looking for av.zip 4 Share this post Link to post
Wadmodder Shalton Posted May 24, 2022 (edited) The original PWADs of the "new original" maps of Albert Dewey's Heroes and Heroes 2 MegaWADs. These are as follows: START1.WAD - E2M4 from Heroes START2.WAD - E3M4 from Heroes DMATCH1.WAD - E4M6 from Heroes DMATCH2.WAD - E4M9 from Heroes EVILDOG2.WAD - MAP01 from Heroes 2 YFILE.WAD - MAP20 from Heroes 2 I could had also put E2M9 from Heroes as well which could be either PRODOOM.WAD or PVBDETH.WAD, but both can technically be found on Wad-Archive so that's not very hard to find. Also got to mention HUH.WAD which is E1M3 from WADPAK1/WADPAK1A.WAD in which its original standalone release is lost, as a release can't be traced back prior to August 1994.

Doomlover77 Posted May 24, 2022 (edited) @Wadmodder Shalton I’ve had a look for huh.wad for Doom and Yfile for Doom2, but I can’t find them anywhere. Is Albert Dewey sure it’s Yfile & not Xfile which is by Mike Shinnick ? Are there any other old wad files for Doom you want me to have a look for? @Doomlover77 Edited May 24, 2022 by Doomlover77 1 Share this post Link to post

Wadmodder Shalton Posted June 5, 2022 Another note regarding the Harris levels: Spoiler Speaking of the Harris levels, there's a couple of PWADs that were mentioned his writings, and from what I've read in IDDQD.RU's article that I don't think any of the Doom Community sites mention anywhere. To avoid trouble from moderators, I can't provide links to these writing for obvious reasons. These PWADs are as follows: ACHTUNG.WAD CHAMPY.WAD DCHRONIX.WAD DOOM333.WAD TRUCHAMP.WAD WHISKY.WAD GRAVITY.WAD ORBITY.WAD The writings also mention Fava Beans, Obituary, HACX and probably The Lost Episodes of Doom commercial addon by Sybex (maybe?) which aren't lost. The writings also shows what appears to be Quake II's main resource directory, which probably meant that Harris probably abandoned a Doom PWAD based on his school and probably moved on to Duke 3d, Quake 1 & 2 and maybe even Unreal modding at one point to make a level of his school, but likely never bothered to start work on it or never completed it, but this is just my theory here. 6 Share this post Link to post
Wadmodder Shalton Posted June 6, 2022 Doom 4 The Final Chapter (not to be confused with Doom 2016) - a sequel to the infamous Doom 3 Mr Smiley Head Safari partial conversion teased when you beat episode 3, which was abandoned and never finished. Eternity TC - not to be confused with the 1994 PWAD Eternity, which was to be a total conversation to showcase the Eternity Engine's features that were available at the time. It was planned to have new weapons, a spellcasting system and new enemies. It was abandoned by 2003 as work on the engine continued instead. At least one enemy, the Arachnophyte made its first appearance in the Monsters Resource Wad and later appeared in many ZDoom and GZDoom mods ever since. 3 Share this post Link to post
Wadmodder Shalton Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) The original planned "real" DWANGO9, a planned 9th installment of the DWANGO deathmatch compilation PWAD series for Doom II. As pointed out by @Voyager7 Around mid-1996 both the Dallas and Houston DWANGO servers were working on both DWANGO9 and DWANGO10, though for some reason DWANGO9 was never officially completed even after DWANGO10 was released as there was little point to even release such a compilation PWAD. Instead DWANGO! (that's DWANGO with an exclamation mark) and BLUDBATH were the closest equivalents we got to DWANGO9, and at least the map that was planned to be part of the planned 9th DWANGO PWAD, that being "Beta4ev.wad" was being modified as late as the 2000s, which was to be the first map of the planned installment. This shouldn't be confused with the fan-made "Faked" DWANGO9 PWAD compiled by ZDaemon player @Da_maniaC back in 2004 which was just nine maps from the previous eight DWANGO compilations with different MIDI music.

Wadmodder Shalton Posted June 23, 2022 (edited) Here's a couple of PWADs mentioned on the DoomWiki's page for Christain Hansen from his reviews from his now defunct website that appear to not been archived anywhere. The following PWADs are as follows: Doom Arena Demo 1 by Jason Sloan Metal Gear Solid by Damien Mychajlowskyj - a remake of the first MGS game in the Doom engine with 11 levels House of the Damned by Chris Laverdure DoomArenas by Jason Sloan - Not to be confused with the Quake Machinima fan film project called Quake III - Arenas (which also goes by the titles Arenas: The Episodes and Quake: Arenas) Kill (Official Demo) - by The Kill Team Ruin DM by Kristian Aro Death32 by TcT A#1 by Benjamin Burton Dead by Benjamin Burton Battlefield by Mike Wynne Outpost by RTC_Marine Doom Special Ed. (Ongar) by Billy Hall Most of these do have screenshots available from his defunct website so there is visual proof of these WADs once existing. There's also one PWAD mentioned on the "Great Doom Releases" section from the DoomWiki's page for Christain Hansen that hasn't been archived anywhere, and that PWAD is KSTDM1 by Kurt Kesler. Just wanted to mention these WADs here if anyone hasn't already. Edited August 3, 2022 by Wadmodder Shalton 4 Share this post Link to post

Dead Perfect A couple of things I noticed while playing Ultimate Simplicity are how the subtitle for map11 says it used to be a Strife map, and there are names and subtitles for maps 21 to 28, despite the default Doom 2 levels still being in those slots. The first four can be found in Some Maps From Some Episode of Some Megawad, but I haven't been able to find the others. usimp_hudMisc.acs also refers to the secret ROTT level as map31 rather than map32, with that one instead being called "Triad Part Deux". So that's six Agent Spork levels unaccounted for, but the only one I can be sure they even started on is the Strife level. 4 Share this post Link to post

Endless Posted July 28, 2022 Another lost WAD that I think we never saw any levels released but does exist: Deimos: Anomaly Unleashed, by @Lutz. I'm not sure but perhaps it was a project from the Chaos Crew. Pictures of it exist, and the last updated was in 2004, with Lutz expressing some concern regarding the slow progression of it. Well, I'd love to see even if it's only the finished levels someday! What happened, Lutz? 9 Share this post Link to post
