Editors & UtilitiesHere you can find a list of editors and utilities, neatly catagorised.Level editors are exactly what it sounds like, enabling the author to manipulate or create maps for Doom, Doom2, Heretic, Hexen or even Strife. Most level editors come with their own nodesbuilder included, but you can find the most commonly used nodesbuildershere. Programs to hack into the executable, or to meddle with scripting are found inthis section. Manipulating graphics, sounds and music can be done withthese programs. Last but not least, you can find lots of post-editing utillities likereject map builders (which speed up a level by manipulating the way the engine handles monster checks),convertors andother files. Thanks goes out to theWolfenDoom guys for providing me with several 'lost' Macintosh utilities!Level Editors| Name | Homepage | Filesize | Author | Platform | Description | | DCK 3.62 | | 583 KB | Ben Morris | DOS | Solid sector-based DOS editor for (Ultimate) Doom, Doom2, Heretic and Hexen.
