Some map-screens and E2END from Heretic for up to 32:9 based on Nash Muhandes Widepix:

Beware, E2END uses the E2PAL in Heretic.wad when converting to DOOM graphics.

These interpics remind me, we one day need @DevilMyEyes to come up with some official-looking intermissions for Episode 4 5 and *maybe* a simple one for the hidden E6

To be honest, something between so called 21:9 and 32:9 would be fine, and there is 32:10, but those monitors are getting rare and were primary thought for business use.

But in my case, the wider my monitors got time after time, i never would go back. Not only for gaming.

 

Another thing is, i have fun in doing that assets and its a good practise in using GIMP.

 

And i write "up to 32:9", because those assets can be used with every today used aspect ratio.

So everyone with a 16:10 or 16:9 monitor can use these assets too and so they are not only for niche 32:9 useage.

 

When using this assets even 21:9 benefits a bit, because they are wider then the mostly used 560 pixel width which is a bit too short for so called 21:9 marketed monitors, because their real aspect ratios are 64:27, 43:18 and 24:10(12:5) which needs 576 pixels width to cover all of them completely.

@Meerschweinmann and any other artists around; could you guys please both widen AND shorten the new Master Levels titlepic from the new port? Its 16:9 only, which doesnt play nice with Eternity and older stuff like Doomsday, and also doesnt cover larger monitors

 

Similarly, the new statusbars from Legacy of Rust and the attached files with both cells AND fuel, also are 16:9 only, so it breaks things like NightFright's split hud mod, so they need a 4:3 standard version

The master levels TITLEPIC of the new release seems to be a scan of the master levels box.

It has more detail then the INTERPIC of DOOM2.

If someone has a good scan of the master levels poster included back in the days that would be helpful.

I sympathize with this but truth be told, the fact that ports like Eternity still have iffy support for widescreen assets in 2024 kinda bugs me.

All 32:9 pictures i had posted here work with the latest Eternity Engine.

 

I do get the latest builds from here:

Since the re-release of Doom is out there with community-made addon support, I decided to get a crack at making widescreen-assets.

 

Here is two for EARTH.WAD (by Roger Ritenour) in 426x200.

LGGHV0w.png

OeVyCnH.png

 

The first one was obviously easy because of the black background, but the second one while photographed I couldn't find a good photo to manually work with so I ended up uncropping it using AI with a tiny bit of touchups. Not really perfect but serviceable for now.

That will go nicely in my existing patch for Earth, thanks!

No problem. ^^

 

I am curious, what does your patch change compared to the original WAD mind if I ask?

Nice! I've also have put together a presentable version of EARTH for the re-release of Doom myself. Will check out Roger's other works someday.

Been making simple assets for Bethesda port versions that supports ultra-widescreen, figured I'd post them here.

Sorry that I'm not contributing here, but do Sigil 2 widescreen assets exist yet? I would take a hand in trying to do it myself but i have no idea where to start doing something like that. Also i swear they existed but i can't find them now!

Oh neat, Scythe X was in need of the treatment too, I can drop these in my existing patch. Curious how you guys are approaching the Dystopia 3 level name issue, and if the bonus level is being included in the package, but thats a different thread topic.

They exist in this thread. There is a post that only shows the titlescreen, but the file attached has all relevant graphics widescreened.

EDIT: Damn it Ninja Steve!

Just needs some bad nearest neighbor scaling on the widescreen extensions for full authenticity...

I normally don't override the author's wishes... and in the case of Equinox, I left names blank because it felt intentional. But for Dystopia 3, I picked quirky names that celebrated the original author's post Doom work.
 

You can steal the UMAPINFO and stuff if you want.
