Wolf3D Community Map Pack is a mod created and released by members of the DieHard Wolfers message board. It was initially released on August 26, 2007.
Genesis[]
The idea was suggested by Thomas in January 2006 as a pendant to Map Making Mania Melee being strictly a map set and nothing else, leaving all graphics and sounds untouched. This idea was discussed for some time, but had died down come the spring of 2006. There was some debate whether it should be an actual contest or a community-made map set, but it was eventually decided on being the latter.
In the summer of 2006, Thomas tried to revive the set and had piqued the interest of Tricob; Thomas would shortly withdraw thereafter, slotting his contributions into the then-nascent Quest for the General. With Tricob at the helm, the set managed to get hold of many different mappers. Other than Tricob and Thomas, the other participants were WLHack, Dean, Brian Lowe and Ronwolf1705.
Tricob also did the coding chores, which were initially minor, however, and it remained somewhat true to its original concept. The set was finalized over the summer of 2007, being released on August 26 that year.
Versions[]
The initial 2007 version was dubbed v1.0 by Tricob, as an SDL version was released on June 8, 2009. This would be known as v2.0. Some minor bugs were fixed in the code, as the SDL made for somewhat smoother compatibility. As the sojourn into SDL took hold, another version, v2.1, was released on October 8, 2010.
The final version, dubbed v2.2, was released on March 28, 2011. Tricob kept all the chronological changes to the code neatly detailed in the attached Read Me file. The DOS version was still available, however with slightly updated/tweaked maps that had been edited in early 2011. The original 2007 version has long been replaced with each passing version and is now unavailable.
