Dimension of the Boomed mod for Doom II

Back in 1997 Derek "Afterglow" Mac Donald released Q1TEX, a set of Quake textures converted into vanilla Doom format. They have appeared in quite a few custom Doom II mapsets since then, but they have some issues. To fit the Doom format some textures had to be resized with resulting loss of detail, and all of them had to be converted to the default Doom palette, with a major loss of colour depth. It occurred to me that if you were use Boom format instead (a late 90s upgraded version of Doom) and a custom palette, then it would be possible to use the Quake textures at their original sizes and in their original colours. And I got the chance to do that in a Doomworld community project called Mayhem16.

But I knew I could take it further. There's a lot tricks at a mapper's disposal in Boom, and I wanted to see how far I could take it in reproducing effects you would normally find in Quake, such as doors that open sideways, deep water, moving skies, ambient sounds, and even custom monsters that resembled their Quake counterparts. The end result was a set of maps that looked Quake like, populated with Doom's monsters and gameplay. I hope you enjoy playing it.
