World of Doom

Play Doom's first level inside World of Warcraft.

WoDoom runs E1M1 (Hangar) in a window in your game. WoW addons can't run native code or draw pixels, so the whole renderer is written in Lua and draws the 3D view with textures. It uses the real shareware doom1.wad for the level, textures, sprites, sound effects, and music.

What you get

• All of E1M1: doors, switches, lifts, secrets, nukage, and the exit.
• Zombiemen, shotgun guys, and imps with Doom's behaviour, plus the fist, pistol, shotgun, and chaingun.
• The title screen, menus, status bar with the face, and the end-of-level tally.
• Doom's sound effects and music, played through WoW's own volume sliders.
• Five skill levels, from "I'm too young to die" to Nightmare.

Getting started: Install, `/reload` and type `/wodoom.` Use `/wodoom dos` for the closest match to DOS Doom (320 columns, distance-based lighting) or `/wodoom fast` if frames are low. Move with W/A/S/D, fire with Space or click, use with F.

Good to know

• Only E1M1 is included.
• Saved games and the automap aren't implemented.
• Doom is a trademark of id Software.

I based it on the README and left out the technical detail on purpose. Say so if you want a shorter version for the summary field, which is limited to about 250 characters.
