bullsquid Posted November 2, 2008 Im looking for the name of an old wad i played when i was like 10 years old. What i can remember about it is that it was some kind of partial conversion with about 5-10 maps, The cacodemon was replaced with some ugly yellow floating ball and i think the chaingunners were replaced in some way too. I also think i remember there was a dual chaingun and the BFG ball was red instead of green and spelled out FUCK when exploded. The levels i think were kinda crappy and had a dark hellish theme with much lava and caverns except the last level wich was called something like stairway to heaven or something similar and was a white room with lots and lots of stairs. I think some sounds were replaced too. I dont remember the wad being good or even decent but i just wanna play it again for nostalgic purpose. If anyone know what this is called please tell me. 0 Share this post Link to post
myk Posted November 2, 2008 WADs of this sort are generally hard to find because they are usually just rips from other people's work, often without permission. Thus they get deleted off archives or appear only on people's home pages for a short period. 0 Share this post Link to post
Grazza Posted November 2, 2008 Sounds like The Blood Chapters for DOOM II. I recorded a demo on it some time back, and when doing so, uploaded a version that takes some of the hassle out of the installation process, and makes it easier to use with ports: http://www.atomicgamer.com/file.php?id=36305 (yeah, I know, the wait to download is a pain) 0 Share this post Link to post
myk Posted November 2, 2008 Interesting... it definitely seems to fit the description. Crappy, yes, but also one of the more wacky WADs out there. It's got some pretty inventive things in it. 0 Share this post Link to post
bullsquid Posted November 2, 2008 thx so much for uploading a proper wad. How did u do that? The regular file wont work at all for me. I cant believe how crappy this was, even worse then i remember. The "new" monsters are just so damn ugly its looks like a childs drawings and the textures are horrible etc. The last map is the only one i remember. Although it was super crappy it was fun to play it again after so many years, very nostalgic. This was one of the first wads i can remember playing way back when i used to play doom2 under DOS with a 486 and 2mb ram. good times :) 0 Share this post Link to post

How did u do that?It's a few years ago now, but I presume it was as follows: * Look at the bat file in Notepad to see what it did, so I could then do the useful bits by hand, namely... ** Rename bloody.dm2 to bloody.exe ** Run bloody.exe * Load the binary deh file using dehacked.exe * Save a text deh file using dehacked.exe 0 Share this post Link to post
myk Posted November 2, 2008 The batch file works fine on a computer that supports true DOS, so one way to get the original package going is to use DOSBox, if a post-DOS OS can't handle it with its DOS emulation (if any). 0 Share this post Link to post
