Okay, so I have this silly desire to extract lots of Doom/Doom2 (the originals, not these fancy modern polygon-based things) wall and floor and ceiling textures, to use in The Sims 2 (I think it'd be funny to have a happy little family living in a house with Doom graphics on the surfaces; maybe I could give them flaming red skintones also). I managed to find a copy of NWT that will just barely work under Windows XP (deutex kept crashing even after I found the XP dpmi provider), and that lets me extract patches to GIFs, which is _almost_ what I want. But what I really want are the textures, which are (in some/many cases) made by pasting together a number of different patches into an overall thing. I could do this by hand for a few, but I'm greedy and I want them all. (I have all the real licensed WAD files and all of course.) Is there some DOOM utility that will extract the patches and texture data from a WAD, reconstruct the textures, and save them to files in some modern format (GIF, JPG, BMP), that works under modern versions of Windows? Tx very, DC P.S. Oh yeah, the floor and ceiling flats are all just single square images, aren't they? You only need to paste patches together to construct the wall textures. So read the above as having said that. *8) P.P.S. To establish whatever credibility it may buy me, I'm the author of SLIGE (http://www.doomworld.com/slige/), the market leader (last time I looked) in automatic level generation for DOOM and DOOM 2. Not that I've touched that code in the last several years...
