Recommended Posts

Does anyone knows any wads with new enemies that works with vanilla doom, no source ports?

Without sourceports you can actually only rehash and recycle original monsters, mix their action_pointers and change projectiles' properties to achieve different behaviour.

That means you can't ADD new monsters to existing ones without interferring with the code more (that's where sourceports come in)

Strictly speaking, the best you can do with vanilla is change the sprites and sounds, so that they'll seem different.

Less strictly speaking, you can use dehacked to change the engine and modify some of the mobjs, but that'll always be a trade-off as you'll have to "remove" as many mobj types as you "add".

I think STRAIN does the most extensive modification of enemies from a purely tactical level of any of the old WADs. Changes the game balance considerably.

A few years ago I made a list of wads that use dehacked to make at least a moderate amount of changes (not just to text or rates of fire, monsters' health and other such minor stuff). Note that not all these are in the form of heavily modified monsters, but in most cases that is so:

aliens tc (various versions/filenames)
allhell
anubis
aotw
arctic (and other wolfendoom wads)
ars_sml (a virtual exhibition)
batman
biotech
bloody (silly, over-the-top, changes)
cyber110
d2flies
dakills
deus (ex machina)
doomball
egypt
hacx
hostage3
house1
hyena
mordeth
newbreed
osiris
real
sci2
smb (very weird indeed)
sr388b1 (variable quality maps; moderate amount of dehacked changes)
strain
thegate
tmall
wotdoom3
zombies

Well, i was looking for new sprites actually. Replacements, to be honest, not exactly new stats and all.
