Floor and ceiling textures anyone?
Wolf3D didn't have floor or ceiling textures. This mod is clearly trying to capture the gameplay that was Doom's predecessor.
How do I enable cheats?

Is there a cheat in this mod?

Is there a way to make the 2 player co-op mode use the full width of my screen? In single player it works fine.
Sorry JC, but I can't get it to open properly. I'm new to 3DGE, Freedoom, and your mod. I'm getting an error message "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application"
I installed a fresh download of 3DGE ver 2.1.0 (Test 2).
I extracted all files from Wolf3dge.1.zip to the main 3DGE directory.
I extracted Freedoom1.wad to the main 3DGE directory.
I created a desktop shortcut to 3DGE.exe and modified the command line to 3DGE.exe -FILE WOLF3DGE.WAD
I'm running Windows 7. I tried setting the compatibility mode to WinXP, but it made no difference so I changed it back. What am I missing?
Thanks in advance.

Found that my problem was with Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (x64) - 14.0.23026. Had to remove the (x64) version and install the (x86) version (with the anti-virus off).
So now it loads up to line "Drawing progress 34-1" with an error window saying:
You need to use the -v129 command line arg to use this file
Error occurred near line 5 of DDFTHING
Line contents:#VERSION 1.29
The last lines in the 3DGE2.log file read:
Loading external Things
Loading DDFTHING from: .\cache\DEH_0000.hwa
ERROR: You need to use the -v129 command line arg to use this file
Error occurred near line 5 of DDFTHING
Line contents: #VERSION 1.29
So I open file things.ddf from the doom_ddf directory and I see that line 5 is an empty // comments line, but line 9 says #VERSION 2.10.
Changing 2.10 to 1.29 makes no change to the error message window or the log.
Kinda at a loss for what it needs. EDGE is ver 2.1.0, but is it looking for ver 1.2.9?
Any help would be appreciated. (Hey, I said I was new at this!)

Change the line to "#VERSION 1.36" in all entries beginning with DDF (DDFTHING, DDFWEAP, etc.) plus RSCRIPT, or use the command line "3dge.exe -file wolf3dge.wad -v129".
Thanks JC - it's working! Adding -V129 to the command line did it. Liking the improvements you've made. visuals are bright and crisp. Love the sparks shown from my bullets when I miss. Also like the increased accuracy of the pistol - lots of 1-shot kills on the regular soldiers. Can't get it to jump yet, even though it's enabled. I did reassign the keyboard commands, so maybe I've got a conflict there.
Thanks again for your help and patience.

I had jump disabled, there is no height variation so there's really no need for it.
Do you own Doom or Doom 2? If so use DOOM or DOOM2.WAD. Alternativeley you could try renaming your FREEDOOM1.WAD to DOOM.WAD.
Thanks JC,
Changing freedoom1.wad to doom.wad made no difference.
Using purportedly original doom.wad (12,118k) or doom2.wad (14,263k) files makes it to line "Drawing progress 39-1" but stops with the same error message about using VERSION 1.29 near line 9.
Must be getting close. I'm careful change the filename extension on the WAD files I'm not using, so they don't get in each other's way. Any other suggestions?
