Adding Wolfenstein 3D - Spear of Destiny (1992) (id Software)

Source Media

  • Installed from Redump-verified CD-ROM: Wolfenstein 3D (USA) (Rerelease)
  • This release includes the add-ons Mission 2: Return to Danger and Mission 3: Ultimate Challenge.

Installation Options

Configuration is contained in the DOSC instead of the DOSZ, so installation options do not matter. The config file is created by changing in-game settings.

Official Patches

No official patch is necessary.

DOSC Contents

  • Auto start
  • Configuration file (maximized view setting)
  • cpu_year: 1990 slows down the game slightly (PCGamingWiki mentions possible bugs above 20,000 cycles)
  • Mission launch options

Installation Variants

The installation variant was already added in the "Verify Wolfenstein 3D" PR.

Digital Store Variants

GOG and Steam do not match because they don't include Mission 2 and 3. I am unable to add them as variants.

Unofficial Patch Variants

No unofficial patches were found.

EDIT: Later update

  • I realized it would be better to let GOG/Steam match the base game, and also misunderstood how the missions even worked. So I split them into their own games by renaming GAMEMAPS, MAPHEAD, and VSWAP appropriately. Several unneeded EXE files were removed, matching with their original releases as well as the way they used to be available on GOG, before the missions were removed: https://www.gogdb.org/manifest/d9589d2bb2e3917736f034ed73318d75. I didn't use parent/child since apparently they were distributed as standalone games.
