A utility for making simple build scripts for compiling together projects made of several files into a single WADs, or merging WADs of different kinds together. Very flexible.
wadmerge build.txt
You can make snazzy build scripts that look like this!
create outwad datemarker outwad __VER__ # Merge in maps. mergewad outwad maps/map01.wad mergewad outwad maps/map02.wad mergewad outwad maps/map03.wad # Merge in textures. marker outwad pp_start mergedir outwad textures/patches marker outwad pp_end marker outwad ff_start mergedir outwad textures/flats marker outwad ff_end mergedeutexfile outwad textures/texture1.txt # Export to file. finish outwad build/mymod.wad end
Go crazy!
WadMerge v1.11.0 by Matt Tropiano (using DoomStruct v2.17.0)
Usage: wadmerge [--help | -h | --version]
[switches] [scriptfile] [arguments]
--help Prints help and exits.
-h
--version Prints version, and exits.
--changelog Prints the changelog, and exits.
--gui Starts the GUI version of this program.
[switches]:
--verbose Prints verbose output.
-v
[scriptfile]:
<filename> The input script file.
-- Script input is from Standard In, not a file.
If a file is not specified, ./wadmerge.txt is the default file.
The parent directory of the provided script becomes the working directory.
[arguments]:
The arguments to pass to the script. Script arguments are injected into
commands by just adding "$" plus the argument index. (e.g. $0) A
doubled-up $ ($$) is interpreted as one "$".
The argument index references can be in any part of the parsed tokens, not
just by themselves as a singular token. They are parsed at the token level,
not the line level.
Arguments: ["apple", "banana", "doom stuff"]
mergedir $1 ./$0/$1phone $2
Expands to:
mergedir "banana" "./apple/bananaphone" "doom stuff"
Script Commands
...............
END
Ends script read.
ECHO [...]
Prints tokens to output.
[...]: The tokens to print.
CREATE [symbol] [opt:iwad]
Creates a new in-memory buffer, errors out if the symbol exists.
Buffers are best used for speed, but large merges will consume
lots of memory during merge.
[symbol]: The symbol for the new buffer.
[iwad]: (Optional) If "iwad", the created WAD buffer is an IWAD.
................................
Returns: OK if a symbol was created.
BAD_SYMBOL if the destination symbol already exists.
CREATEBUFFER [symbol] [capacity] [opt:increment] [opt:iwad]
Creates a new in-memory buffer, errors out if the symbol exists.
Buffers are best used for speed, but large merges will consume
lots of memory during merge. This differs from CREATE such that
you can control the initial capacity or incremental capacity of
the new buffer.
[symbol]: The symbol for the new buffer.
[capacity]: The buffer capacity in bytes.
[increment]: (Optional) The buffer increment (if more bytes are needed)
in bytes. 0 or less doubles the buffer size.
[iwad]: (Optional) If "iwad", the created WAD buffer is an IWAD.
................................
Returns: OK if a symbol was created.
BAD_SYMBOL if the destination symbol already exists.
BAD_SIZE if the capacity or increment is an illegal value.
CREATEFILE [symbol] [path] [opt:iwad]
Creates a new WAD file (on disk - not in memory), errors out if
the symbol exists or the new file could not be created.
WARNING: If the file already exists, it is OVERWRITTEN!
Files are best used for memory efficiency, but large merges will
incur lots of overhead as the output file grows.
See: CREATE for the in-memory version.
[symbol]: The symbol for the new buffer.
[path]: The file to create.
[iwad]: (Optional) If "iwad", the created WAD file is an IWAD.
................................
Returns: OK if creation successful and a symbol was created.

[symbol]: The symbol for the existing buffer to clear.
................................
Returns: OK if successful.
BAD_SYMBOL if the symbol is invalid.
DISCARD [symbol]
Discards an existing buffer, errors out if the symbol does not exist.
If the symbol is a file, it is closed.
[symbol]: The symbol for the existing buffer to discard.
................................
Returns: OK if successful.
BAD_SYMBOL if the symbol is invalid.
SAVE [symbol] [file]
Exports the content of a symbol to a WAD file. Directories are created for
the file, if they don't exist. If the symbol is a WAD file (not buffer)
and the destination is the same file, nothing happens.

[symbol]: The symbol to export.
[file]: The file to create and export to.
................................

................................
Returns: OK if successful.
BAD_FILE if the file does not exist or is a directory.

BAD_SYMBOL if the destination symbol is invalid.
FINISH [symbol] [file]
Exports the content of a symbol to a WAD file. Directories are created for
the file, if they don't exist. If the symbol is a WAD file (not buffer) and
the destination is the same file, nothing happens. The symbol is discarded.
