Lump Tool

Version 1.0.0.7 - 26th March 2002

Lump Tool is a program similar to WinTex - the Doom WAD editor program.  The main difference is that this program puts lumps in and gets them out as they are without any conversion - useful for MP3s, etc.

Features

• Join 2 or more WAD files together
• Insert - from files, other WAD files, textbox or blank
• Find out what lump names go with what events - e.g. Soldier injured - DSPOPAIN
• Replace
• Copy
• Delete
• Rename
• Export
• Text Editor for MAPINFO etc
• Move up and down
• Compile scripts with ACC
• Delete all
• Export all
• Find
• 0 bytes wasted WAD space
• Hex editor type view

It is currently not possible to insert new graphics, but this maybe a feature in the future - if I can work out how to implement it properly.

• Simplified installation process - just download and install the setup program.  If you are running an operating system older than Windows XP you will need to install the Visual Basic 6.0 runtime files.  I assume it will also work on Windows Vista without the runtime files.

• Fixed a bug where if you tried to edit some zero length lumps, Lump Tool would crash

Sunday 24th March 2002

• Added compile command so that you can now just click the compile button (the cartoon dog face button (?)) and the script will be compiled with acc.exe.  The BEHAVIOR lump will either be updated or created if it isn't there.  Use the Options dialog to specify the location of acc.exe.
• A message box will also appear if the compilation was unsuccessful showing you the why the script could not be compiled
• Version 1.0.0.6 uploaded

Sunday 10th March 2002

• Fixed more bugs
• Added a new feature where you can select a lump name from the list and see what it corresponds to e.g. Mancubus attack - DSMANATK.  I have only added sound and music lumps so far - it is easy to update this text file (Lumps.txt), just make sure you change the first line to show how many entries you there are e.g. Lumps=300
• The size of the lump is now shown on the status bar
• Version 1.0.0.5 uploaded

Friday 8th March 2002

• Fixed various bugs - none of which had anything to do with the reading and writing of WAD files - only interface bugs
• Version 1.0.0.4 uploaded

Wednesday 6th March 2002

• 'Insert' now inserts at after the selected lump instead of before it
• Added some memory saving code e.g. clearing the preview pane when it is hidden
• Finished Toolbar
• You can now open .wad files in the Lump Tool command line e.g. LumpTool.exe C:\Files\Test.wad
• Other things
• Version 1.0.0.2 uploaded, but help file is not yet done

I see no reason why this program would corrupt a WAD file, but please backup your WAD files before editing them with this program should anything unexpected happen - the same can be said about any editor really.  You can always delete the backup afterwards :)
