i didnt make a wad, the wad was included on the cd in data or something
the .wad file is included in any version of doom u have, the rest is what plays the wad file; the ultimate doom95 program plays the DOOMU.wad file and other wad files, as does Doom psp
dunno why the rules are like this, but with Doompsp, you name...
Ultimate doom= DOOMU.WAD
Doom 1= DOOM1.WAD
Doom 2 and all other wad files= DOOM2.WAD

It was like that because John Carmack is a genius.....
It allowed people to edit and distribute what the game looks and feels like without having to worry about the engine.
WAD files are graphics, sprites, textures, sounds and map. (Generally...some include code (in the context of the level being played) and some include videos.

Dont send them anything. Any easy way to get The doom wads is with a softmod and the Xbox Doom collection.

I would not consider that easy :confused:
Easiest of all is buying the collector's edition.

EDIT: That softmod thing gives me an idea. That means we could edit the one on the XBOX if it's a standalone WAD file.
Cool! More DM Maps!

EDIT Again: I run my Doom 3 from the HD.
