I grew up with Half-Life and its mods and I will never stop loving GoldSource Engine. Whenever I finished a game I looked for ways of modifying it, and as a teenager I had a lot more fun when making mods/maps than when I was just playing games. My first map pack was "Kill all Greenpeace". Pretty much bunch of very poorly designed killboxes I made when i was 13. My second project was much better "Blbej Den" (moddb.com/mods/blbej-den)- It still has tons of issues, but in the end I'm pretty proud of it. After Blbej Den, I was working on a very ambitious mod called "From Beneath" (moddb.com/mods/from-beneath1), but than I went to college, life happened and It was never finished (and it never will be). I also made a Wolf3D total conversion called Brutal Death Dealer of Annihilation 3D (moddb.com/mods/brutal-death-dealer-of-annihilation-3d-bdda3d). I do Lets Plays of HL mods (mostly Czech ones since I knew the comminity and can translate them) - youtube.com/channel/UCh_t0V_zmrfAkrp_7gZPsOA

I have no clue. The mod has been out for over a year, thousands of downloads and nobody reported this before... So this issue must be rare. Wolf4SDL uses OPL2 emulator for AdLib sounds/music, possibly there is some strange interaction between that and drivers on your computer.
I have tested it on multiple Widows 10 machines and on multiple Linux distributions (x86 and ARM). I do not know how to reproduce this and without access to your machine there is no way for me to troubleshoot this.

For reference - here is a full playthrough, this is how the game should look/sound: Youtu.be

It is both. Wolfenstein 3D was a silly game where you fought German Nazis in castle Wolfenstein. This is a silly game where you fight Russian fascists in castle Kremlin.

You do not need Wolfenstein 3D to play this. This mod is using a source port of the Wolfenstein 3D engine (Wolf4SDL), but it is completely standalone - to play it you only need to download and unpack the archive and run the executable.

No way to do that as some setting - you would need to get into the source code/data editing. Fog/snow/sky is hardcoded for given level. Some amount of fog is baked into the background picture itself. The palette is completely different - no way to change that without editing both the assets and the source code... Source code and all the assets are available here at moddb, so if you are looking to get into wolf3d modding than go ahead and mod it to your liking.
I definitely prefer the look of v2, much more detail preserved on the sprites, still colorful but not oversaturated. Perhaps you can just try to increase saturation on your monitor?

It is possible, but it would take some work and testing. There is a port of Wolf3D for the Switch which uses Wolf4SDL as a base ( Github.com ). Kremlin3D also uses Wolf4SDL.
So you would basically need to merge the code of Kremlin3D (available for download here at Moddb) with this wolf3D port for the Switch.
I have no plans of doing this, I also do not have a Switch. If anyone has the skill to do it and the ability to test it than go for it...

Anyone can download the source code and build it for Mac, it should not be difficult (wolf4SDL - source port used by Kremlin 3D is cross-plattotm). I have no Mac device to build and test it on.
The Windows binary will also work in WINE.

I do not follow. Why should the fact that Lenin's mummy is displayed nearby be a reason to play as Lenin?...

Nothing really - shoot evil things, get to the end. This is pretty much just a result of me messing arround with the wolf3D engine on and off for years for fun.

I updated the archive on April 19, 2022. I edited the readme and "updated" the linux x86_64 binary - I built it against older libc (glibc-2.27) so it would work out of the box on more systems.
No other changes were made.

Navalny i can sort of get as he is a major opposition figure in Russia (tho I am confident Zelensky is a much better fit given the current events...), but why the hell Lenin Lol?
Fun fact, the sprite of a statue of a figure with a coat is made from a picture of a statue of Lenin.

I never had such an issue, but it is 100% caused by your setup/dosbox settings. The mod doesn't touch anything related to sound.

No, that would take a rewrite from scratch.
There is no reason to do so since the game runs out of the box on Windows and Linux, you only need to download it and run the executable.

Found a gamebreaking bug...
In map they22, on the ladder when you return from map they23, there is a trigger that is supposed to spawn new monsters in map they22, instead it acts like trigger_endsection (drops you to main menu every time, you can't proceed...). The same thing happens in map they43 about a minute after the level starts, so this is easily reproducible if you load map they43 and just wait for a bit.
The same thing happens on Linux and Windows, so the bug is platform independent... This does not happen with the original WON PC gamer magazine release of the trilogy.

The changes to the original sources are really small (just a few lines of code), and as i wrote in the summary - its all just implemented code from tutorials listed on Areyep.com (thats why i thought it would be pointless to release the modified sources, I don't even have them anymore). These features shouldn't be hard to implement anywhere, just need someone willing to spent some time on it - that isn't me atm.

Yes, I am suffering from a very early mid-life crysis and I feel an overwhelming nostalgia about my teenage years modding half-life. I even started doing lets plays of hl mods lol...
Anyway, I'm glad you like the mod, cheers.

Thanks.
I don't remember, it has been 9 years. But i do know it is not one song/sample - it is put together from 2 or 3 different ones. I probably searched for something like "fairytale". Since it has been so long it is quite possible you might never find it.

Zeptat se můžeš, ale nic moc rozumnýho ti asi nepovim. Chce to hlavně tunu času a nepolevující nadšení. Já jsem začínal někdy v jedenácti letech, takže mi nechyběl ani čas a ani to nadšení. Nedovedu si představit, že bych začínal teď.
Jinak číst tutoriály, pořád dokola zkoušet a nepouštet se do nějakých větších projektů - raději udělej třeba jen jednu mapu, jeden model, změnu jen jednoho konkrétního herního mechanismu (čili pravej opak toho jak jsem to dělal já, že jsem produkoval tuny sraček a pořád jsem začínal od začátku - ale já jsem byl hloupý děcko, ty buď rozumější :D

Ani ne, jen mam občas tak 1-2x do roka záchvat něco stvořit, ale nevydrží mi to dýl jak 2 tejdny... No někdy se z těch kousků něco poskládá a vzešla z toho třeba totální konverze pro wolf3D (BDDA3D). Nevylučuju, že ještě někdy něco stvořím, ale asi to nebude nic velkýho - jak říkam, většinou mi to nadšení moc dlouho nevydrží.
Tak do týdne bych měl mýt hotovej web karyk.cz, kde se pokusim archivovat skoro všechno, co jsem kdy dělal (včetně třeba CS map)

DOS version works well and DOSBox is available for pretty much every platform imaginable. I'm not gonna make any other version. I'm not opposed to the idea of someone else doing it, though i highly doubt someone who would be willing to do it exists.
To port the game would take quite some time and morale I don't have - I would have to rewrite the code from scratch and also probably edit all the maps. Yes, not having to use DOSBox would make the game accessible to a wider audience, but using DOSBox is not really difficult and as i said - im just not willing to put it the time and effort into this.

I tried to keep the difficulty constant throughout the game, its just the level of carnage that increases... So if the difficulty is to high for you in the first level it will be too high the whole game. There are 4 difficulty settings just like in original wolf3D - its too hard? => lower the difficulty, imo a five year old could finish the game at the lowest difficulty.
As for the uberzombie being a bullet sponge, that was a design choice - its very slow and can be easily avoided, you don't need to kill a single one of them the entire game unless you are going for 100% completion. There is written info about all the enemies in the "read this" option in the main menu - how they behave and how to kill them most efficiently, although if you give the game a chance I'm sure you would find out what works best... And the *****? xD dunno, sometimes i just do random ****.

Thanks for feedback, glad you like it :)... I actually started making this mod 5 years ago, I always worked on it for a week or two and than didnt touch it for a year xD (and after i got back to it i usually changed half of the stuff i did before...).
Anyway, i will check some of your creations when i have some time...
