Romero Goes Ham, Reveals New-Old Artwork

It would be awesome if we had this compiled with assets from the Alpha and so on, so there would be a comprehensive WAD of unused art.

This isn't a bad idea. There've been alpha resource packs in the past, but we may as well get a full archive of it all, I say.

I guess the big question though would be whether or not to make TEXTUREx definitions for such a project; there are a few raw patches (DONTUSE, for example) that aren't going to be usable out-of-the-box without modification, so it'd take some effort there. Might be worth it so folks can actually -use- the stuff in-map, though.

Looks sweet. Someone should make a dtwid mapset with these resources.

Oh man, it's amazing to see even more Alpha resources around!

Might be the right time to do another "Alpha Doom" themed mod / mapset. Romero is king!

I like the pile of meat.

I'm definitely using some of these textures in my maps, and also seconding a more dedicated Alpha-themed project.

Romero says he is going to keep an eye out for the lost rotations of the Doomguy / Trooper so that's nice.

Romero is awesome! 'Nuff said.

John Romero is my hero.

Hey all,

I've wad-ified the rotations and started up a new thread for 1993res.wad, for simplicity's sake. Snag 'em here:

Sweet! Some of these things I've already seen inside the alphas, but the new stuff is really cool. The pile of meat and sky texture are especially awesome.
Also happy to see the missing sprite angles finally show up!
