Number of maps??

Recommended Posts

Ive tried to find an answer to this question myself, but have come up short:

 

Is there a 'master' place (spreadsheet, wiki, or whatever) that lists mods based on the number of levels. Such as 'Giant List of 2-level WADs' or 'Giant List of 3-level WADs'?? .....anything like that??

Not to my knowledge. It'd be a huge amount of effort to make something of the sort anyway, especially if that were to be done with every wad out there, seeing how many of them there are.

You can try PortaDOOM by Kroc:

 

Spoiler

# PortaDOOM #

 

A self-contained, portable [DOOM] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doom_(1993_video_game launcher and [WAD]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doom_WAD  collection presented as an early '90s MS-DOS [diskzine] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_magazine. 

It's intended as a single download that people can unzip and play on any computer, targeted at people who have either never played DOOM or anything beyond the official iD canon and the thought of downloading, configuring and launching several different engines with all kinds of weird WAD files is putting them off trying stuff out.

PortaDOOM is about having a single executable where you press a few keys and hey-presto! you're playing DOOM WADs in the correct engine with the correct settings.

The viewer is written in [QB64] http://www.qb64.net/; a modern remake of Microsoft's classic [QuickBASIC] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QuickBASIC for that DOS look and feel, but you do not need to be able to code to contribute: all the diskzine pages are just text-files that anybody can create and edit.

You can contribute the following ways:
*   Write pages yourself using [this handy guide]
*   File GitHub Issues for suggestions and fixes
*   E-mail me: <kroc@camendesign.com>

Have fun and DOOM on!

Here is a sneak preview of what you get (its a compiled version of the 5 files, without the wads and pk3)

I'm sure you could write a program which iterates through the archive, downloads, unzips, and counts maps. If I was super ambitious I might be able to do it with Python.
