MERGE.EXE by J. Flynn, copyright 1995, -Freeware- MERGE is a DPMI utility for combining Doom or Heretic level maps in different wads into a single level map. DPMI means there is no wad size limitation from DOS memory, only from the finite nature of the blockmap. The program supplies its own DPMI interface if you're not already using one (like Windows, or some QEMM configurations). This utility supersedes the previous Beta release as DMMERG.ZIP. Severe limitations have been removed as well as a spurious requirement to BSP the wads before and after merging. Syntax: MERGE [/9] [/P] wadname1[.wad] wadname2[.wad] The resulting wad, always written to MERGED.WAD is stripped of all resources but the graphic level resources needed by an editor. The first wad determines the resulting level or map number. Up to 999 tags may be used. Use of the /9 switch prevents 99 and 999 tags from being renumbered. 666 tags will never be renumbered. Use of /P will keep any player starts found in the second wad (they are removed by default). Deathmatch starts are never removed. The syntax is available online any time by running merge without parameters. To use the utility to combine a section of one wad, SRC.WAD with another wad DST.WAD do the following. First make a new copy of SRC in SRCCPY.WAD or some name of your choice. Then edit SRCCPY and delete everything but the section you want to move into the DST wad. You may wish to bracket a thing with some temporary vertices to help align it later. Now use the line MERGE DST SRCCPY to create a MERGED.WAD containing both DST and the desired section of SRC. Edit MERGED.WAD and drag the new vertices and things of the SRCCPY section to where you want them, and fix the imperfections due to the deletion of things around it and joining the two maps if and as desired. After you are happy and pass consistency checks, exit, and then copy MERGED.WAD over DST.WAD. You may wish to write a batch file to help automate the process. Thanks to Richard Sharp for input on the alpha and beta versions, and several other suggestions I may yet implement someday . Also credit for the impetus to finish the DPMI version goes to Dr Sleep who kindly encouraged me to do so...
