Thank you for your suggestions, if we'll happen to work on an update - we'll consider.

Thank you so much!

Sorry, didn't understand your phrasing about the mod proposal. Can you phrase it clearer?

Have fun! :)

Shouldn't work with those, as far as I understand.
This is GZDoom mod, for latest version.

Thank you for the anticipation and support!

Thanks pal :)
While this uses alot of my previously made art (and development help), I have to credit most of the work for this particular mod to ddadd.

Probably nothing...

Thank you :)

Thank you :)

Thank you :)

We plan to release public beta soon

Thank you for the compliments :)

Thank you for the support, you're obviously right.

Just read it, wonderful, big thank you. Great selections of screenshots too.
Yes, not a perfect mod but still alot of fun and we've put alot of love and inspiration into it.

Check out our others mods (including later, even more impressive mods (Batman:No Man's Land, Green Arrow, SplitWolf - coop and dm editions), - in particular you might love Operation Eisenfaist Origins - Remastered edition.

Legacy itself had also Halloween and New Years Eve special editions with new maps and art.

Waiting for more reviews :)

Wow, now this is a fanwork! A very nice and inspiring interpretation of NML!
Very flattering to feel inspiring for others.

Posted it on our dev discord and forum, we seem to be fine with you taking over the non-SDL branch of the mod of Batmod 3, based on our plot, art etc.

(NML was updated recently with better art and bugfixes, be sure do download the latest version)

For Batmod 3 our main branch will be SDL is any case (and there you can't help at this point or at all), but Doom/ECWolf/LZWolf branch/interpretation for our batmod trilogy sounds interesting, at least to me.
LZWolf works from pk3/decorate/Slade, so it should be similar enough to you. The engine is more Wolf3D tailored, and also has precoded objects, enemies/ Bosses and even weapons for Batmod 3, even menus.
Wolf3d.net

But mapping there is with WDC tool Adambiser.itch.io

We need to discuss those matters more privately, please join our discord (we have dedicated batmod3 channels there)
Discord.gg
Or even dev forum
Raycast.teamforum.ru

We will need to decide if you are willing and capable to take over non-SDL branches, and which one - do it on Doom as you did, or take over our prepared ECWolf/LZWolf branch with most things already inserted, coded, defined.
LZWolf, though decorate/pk3 etc - is more limited than Doom engine and needs Wolf3D editor to map.
At the very least - it has same decorate/folder/pk3 structure as GZDoom mods, and can be useful start for you and speed your development by much.

When using NML art - make sure you use latest version.

First thank you for your interest in our Batmod trilogy.

We have posted some pics of Batmod 3 before (http://dhw.wolfenstein3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=8515), but we don't reveal art from in-work mods unless they are finally scrapped or abandoned, which is not the case.

Our main issue with Batmod 3 is lack of active coders with free time.
Because of that - I tried with help of Astrocreep to make ECWolf version of the mod. ECWolf as Decorate-based branch of Doom engine for Wolf3D mods.
We made the base (menus, art, coded in sounds, actors, scenery, many Bosses etc - even map definitions) but it got stalled as it was too hard for me and noone was there to take on mapping (and adding extra decorate codes).
Plot is outlined there too pretty well.
Files/that project branch is still waiting for seriously intended and capable person to take over.
If you are good with Doom modding/decorate, learning ECWolf
is fast and easy, with easy tutorials, who said a mod can't have 2 versions on 2 engines?

At some point we moved Batmod 3 development to SDL, as basing it on enhanced NML engine is faster and of lesser need for new code. We moved the files from "Green Arrow-based engine" to NML one.

So currently official and alive Batmod 3 branch is on SDL (where you can't help). We have some exciting concept/features planned, and plot if detailed, even level list, and all we had before - enemies, Bosses, pickups etc.
Currently project is stalled as our coder is too busy in life/work - in hope he'll have free time soon enough to advance it further, all is ready for that.

If you want to learn LZWolf/ECwolf to take over the LZWolf branch of the mod - and are capable and serious - can discuss this with our coder and add you access.

You have such option via batch file.

Example:
Eisenfaust --res 640 400

Can be higher standard resolutions.

Hello from Israel :) I'm USSR-born as well :)
Come to visit me, have a good retro gaming room, with retro consoles and even self-made arcade machine. And gum inserts collection :)

Thank you for your kind feedback.

There is a mine detector you can buy at headquarters. In exchange gold you collect. Did you visit the armory?

Also ducking helps to see the mines. I'm not a great player, far from it, and even I do fine against mines. Even without the dedicated mine detector.

Snipers can be annoying, but make you be more careful in your gameplay and feel close to how real war feels. You can use zoom to snipe those better.

Other mods don't have 3D models, portals etc.
There are alot of options in BoA (some pre-configured "bulk setups") to adjust BoA (maybe without some effects or with shorter rendering distance) to wide range of computers.

Thanks for uploading my patch :)

Admire your modding, keep it up!

Thank you so much, very proud of the result myself, all done with alot of love and care for details and atmosphere.

Thank you so much!
Yes, this mod was hugely tested, balanced, rebalanced (based on tons and tons of feedbacks and our own play), to get as much perfect gameplay balance as we can. And there are skill levels to adjust to personal preferences.

...German law has changed since to allow swastikas etc.
And yes, we tried not to get trouble with German law.

Thank you, enjoy! :)

Virg listed the changes in some of the comments before.

From my memory - it included removal/replacement of sensitive real-camp footage, terms linked to Holocaust/jews (to be consistent with the original intent for those to be generic prisoners (in a fictional camp) as mod description goes - that the player is free to interpret race/identity-wise as he/she desires for that camp), "concentration camps" was changed to more generic "prison camps", antisemitic posters removed/replaced (not to go into grey areas of German law).
Change to one NPC name.
Some unused art removed from resources.
One female Boss replaced with better variant, and that better variant doesn't have previously existing nipple slip in one fast death frame barely noticeable before anyway. That to say - nudity was kept in the mod where appropriate, so the change was not for nudity by itself.

This is consistent with the original intent of the mod, and is not a direction change due to pressure, but making the mod more consistent with our original intent, and also to avoid grey areas of German laws - no free fan creation is worth making a threat to your actual personal life.

Noone is allowed to share my cancelled mod, privately (though can't stop it) or publicly.
Such comments will be immediately deleted.

Thank you much :)

BoA chapters 1 and 2 were released 3-4 years ago, and been popular long before Chapter 3 with its camp map.
So "ruined the game" by minor (!) changes to one map of latest chapter - isn't it overreaction?
There are some sensitive topics that there is no need or obligation to touch, sure in fictional Wolf3D universe. This mod has a vision, and controversy-seeking was never a part of it. So beyond spending 6 years to make free huge epic-scaled mod for you, we now need also to willingly be a center controversy (with some possible legal implications)? Isn't it too much to ask for a free hobby (and a free game) - to allow possibility of real-life implications for the developers?
This is just a fun hobby. That's it. It's free. Take it for what it is. We are not "history justice" heroes.
It's a fictional game in a fictional universe.

Thank you for support.
