Goals of this remastering edition is to make the best of this mod - without breaking existing maps.
This means, among the rest, fixing some mentioned grumps in various playthroughs (big MP40 muzzle flash - the reason this remastering even started, biting dogs not being killable, wrong swastika directions, rifleman reaction time, rocket guys and Bosses AI too fast turret overheating etc etc).
Later on additional goals were added (again, with limitations not to break existing maps):
1. To take the farther from [you know what mod] origins and closer to Eisenfaust/Wolf3D universe. To make it feel a bit like its own mod, and not [that mod] reskin.
Less interrogations and torture - and more creepy lab scenery/experiments. Don't get me wrong though - enough torture is left, not to break existing maps.
This also includes replacing some of generic Wolf3D scenery into a more unique-looking ones. Replacements of Femstein-borrowed scenery.
2. To add more visual immersion (lighting, weather effects...) and interactivity (interactive and destructible scenery) to the mod.
Coding changes, fixes and enhancements:
1. New lighting effects for light sources
2. New sniper scope effect/look
3. Weather and outdoor daylight effects - including (but not limited to) fog, much more realistic and immersive snow and rain effect, fix for snow and rain resolution.
4. Some non-animated scenery is now animated.
5. Many of non-bullet-interactive scenery is now breakable/interactive, including glass windows.
6. Glowing lab chambers/domes
7. Tall floors support
8. Bugfixes
Art fixes, improvements and replacements:
Almost all art got changed in some way. From minor edits to total replacements.
Some changes you might not notice at all, some - you'll say "damn, this somehow looks better, but I can't pinpoint why", and some you'll definitely notice.
Too long to list all of the changes, will list some.
1. Improved title screen and better HUD colors
2. Improvements, changes, replacements (new art, including animated and breakable) to lab-related scenery, lab chamber/blood transfusion themes, replacement of lockers theme with a theme to bridge between the prison/mutants and lab experiments.
3. New sniper scope art
4. New, more realistic rifle guy shooting frames
5. Newly-animated scenery, improvement of digging animation, new ceiling drops animation, improved turret dude animations.
6. Alot of interactive/breakable scenery. If you think bullet would damage it - it probably does.
7. Improvement to almost all enemies and Bosses in terms of animation, shooting, pain frames etc. They are now more animated, better animated. Recoloring fixes, swastika direction fixes.... Muzzle shooting flash also interacts with them light-wise. Fix of "bearded Boss" death frame. More unique pain frames for enemies.
8. Addition of scientists/doctors - for lab-related themes.
9. Some improved textures and floors and a few new floors (like melted snow floor for campfire)
10. All health pickups are now unique-looking.
11. Improved "mutant getting hit" animation to match Sonder one. Improved other animations (including digging animation)
12. Fixes of scenery for better perspective, to look less flat and to relate to view height.
13. Improving contrast, colors of some scenery, better and more consistent looking skulls in scenery, less bright skeletons....
15. New, more realistic seamless grass scenery
16. Glass windows
17. Corrected bread and broom colors to more realistic ones.
18. Improved intermission animation
19. Improved ending picture.
20. Improved HUD colors and design.

Would you consider releasing the music for us sometime?
This is up to RonWolf, new tunes are his work.
That's gonna be a lifesaver during my 2 weeks quarantine. I was hoping for the BoA for that period, but still this is awsome too.
Glad to help, might release another interesting mod update in upcoming weeks.
BoA is coming, trust me. Not much left.
IS there a way to run this via EC Wolf or at least explain how to use more traditional horizontal mouse aiming when running Eisenfaust Origins? It is quite a good mod, but I feel like most of my deaths thus far have been a result of not being used to the Wolf3D controls and its movement being relatively stiff, or never being fully comfortable with using the strafe key.
For some reason that worked very well for me in Doom but with Wolf 3D's highly lethal combat it's a step too far for me for some reason where I just keep getting bodied.
Guys, how do you run this? It doesn't start on windows 10 x64 (up to date), i also tried DOSBOX and it doesnt work? Can i get some help?
I have not noticed this issue before. Could you try enabling compatibility mode when running this particular program to see if it helps at all? Thanks.
