=========================================================================== Advanced engine needed : Any limit-removing engine that doesn't require IWAD sprite merging is recommended. Primary purpose : Sprite replacement. I guess that makes it Single+Coop play. =========================================================================== Title : The Plasticine Cacodemon Filename : PLASCACO.WAD Release date : 13/3/2009 Author : Maes Email Address : WayOfMaes@gmail.com Other Files By Author : MANLY.WAD, GDESTINY.WAD, (withheld) Misc. Author Info : Just a fella minding his own business. Description : A replacement set of sprites for the Cacodemon. The novelty is that the sprites were produced starting from photos of a self-made static plasticine model of a cacodemon, just like id did. The model was based on the id original, but is different in its own way. Try to see ;-) Additional Credits to : TimeOfDeath for saving me the time of making the included test map (heh). To the Doomworld community for having provided positive input since the beginning of the project. =========================================================================== * What is included * New levels : MAP01, E1M1 (only for testing). Sounds : No Music : No Graphics : Better believe it, soldier. Dehacked/BEX Patch : No Demos : No Other : No Other files required : No * Play Information * Game : DOOM / DOOM2 Map # : 2 (test maps for Doom and Doom 2) Single Player : Sure. Cooperative 2-4 Player : Aha. Deathmatch 2-4 Player : Doh. Other game styles : Don't push it. Difficulty Settings : Not implemented * Construction * Base : New from scratch Build Time : A couple of weeks on and off. Maybe 6-8 hours of actual work. Editor(s) used : Cheap noname plasticine, a LIDL digital camera, Paint Shop Pro, XWE, Doom Builder. Known Bugs : None. May Not Run With : Won't work with vanilla or Chocolate Doom unless you merge sprites with the IWAD using DEUSF/DEUTEX. I'm too lazy to include all the stuff to do this automatically right now. Tested With : Anything under the sun. This is more of a "proof of concept" release, to prove that this is a viable sprite creation technique. More info can be found on: http://www.doomworld.com/vb/wads-mods/48080-plasticine-sprites-wip-now-with-demo-wad/ These sprites are based on downscaling and color reduction of high-res originals (at 4x times the vanilla resolution). Upon request, the hi-res originals are available for editing and/or enhancing. Needless to say, using this in your own WADs is allowed and encouraged. * Copyright / Permissions * Authors MAY use the contents of this file as a base for modification or reuse.
