The furthest I got was a tool that could rip the sprites and format them to Doom’s picture format, with the correct palettes applied too.

This project is on indefinite hiatus, however. I don’t plan on shipping this project as a whole, but will instead come with a program that can rip assets from a legally acquire rom. Due to limitations of my own lack of knowledge, I’m unable to progress in a wag I’m happy with.

The big hurdle is going to be converting the music in Crystal into a format GZDoom can play, and I have zero clue how to read that from the rom, and even less clue how to turn it into an audio file. RIP my sanity.

Given how much of a pitbull Nintendo is about their IP is it wise to do this? You may end up expending a lot of effort only to be told no by a court

While that is true, I’m half expecting it, and won’t be upset if it does happen.

Maybe it’s hubris, but I do believe there’s no legal precedent that I’m not allowed to make programs that modify programs. I have no intention of distributing files I legally can’t.

Do you mean as in providing the tools to grab the assets for the mod, not actually supplying it all set up to start with?

kevansevans.bsky.social•70 days ago

That is my intention. The tools are publicly available here: https://github.com/kevansevans/CovalentCrystal

You’ll need to provide a Crystal rom for USA/Europe that matches the MD5 in the main to make it work.

Where does one even begin developing with gzdoom?

I’m not sure if I’m able to give an adequate answer that can fit in a bluesky post.

Modding Doom is largely this general mish mash of combined knowledge, and then GZDoom builds on top of that. I can recommend is learning how to dissect wads yourself, and finding communities to ask questions in.
