I actually think having the Nazi Anthem as the intro is genius because from the moment you hit start it gets cut off by the track "Wondering About My Loved Ones", and both tracks to me kinda plays into the Nazi's basically being victorious at this time - to the point of capturing BJ as a prisoner. But as soon as you enter the game, it's all about getting your revenge on every last nazi scumbag in Castle Wolfenstein. You're given this dystopia (something the later Wolfenstein games would love to use as a theme) that YOU are going to singlehandedly fix. Badass.

[@fen4554]

13:39 The game came with a level editor, a lot of people went poking into the map files and found the drawings. Fun fact; the editing is so easy you basically draw walls on a top down 2d grid and it renders it as sudo 3d.

[@stormykeep9213]

To really appreciate the game, you'd have to play it back when it first came out. Wolf3d was the first DOS game I've played, on our new IBM compatible computer. Before it, I had been relentlessly pestering my parents to get me a SuperNES, but once we fired up Wolf and heard that music and effects on the Soundblaster 16 card, all notions of SuperNES went out the window. I was a computer gamer now. Good times.

[@GarrettChan]

The multiplication 2/3 for SS and bosses is for distance, effectively shortening the distance between you and the enemy. For example, the tiers for normal enemies are 2, 4, higher than 4, and this means SS/bosses have the tiers of 3, 6 and higher than 6. In other word, when SS in 3 distance, it still deal the max damage by only /4. Technically the division is a digit moving which will remove the fractions I believe. So >>2 means /4 and it will remove the remainder of the number. For example, the RNG is 129 (10000001) in binary), moving 2 digits to the right will become 32 (100000) and the 1 on the rightmost digit was thrown away. Therefore I think the damage is rounded down. Note: I'm no pro of C, so it may be wrong as I recently read the code as well.

Great clarification Garrett!

39:55 Every time you fire your gun in Wolf3D, the game checks if you aggro idle enemies by checking whether you share the same "room code" assigned to both your floor tiles. When you open a door, both connecting rooms are treated as the same code until it closes again. Ideally the level designer never uses the same code twice on the same map, but there is a hard limit, so if you make a mistake or run out of codes, you can create a scenario where the player fires his gun at one end of the map and alerts enemies way the hell and gone, and they'll start coming for you, even through locked doors. There are also "deaf" tiles you can place under an enemy, to create an ambush scenario - the deaf guard will only aggro from directly seeing the player. Or you have ambushes where the same room code is deliberately assigned to a series of rooms so that the doors all fly open at once as soon as you kill a bait guard.

[@fen4554]

9:32 one thing you gotta remember. back then no one had shooter skills. most kids played the first 3 or 4 levels of wolf and never got much further. they just kept replaying the first four levels and had a blast doing it. that goes for doom and duke too. so the shareware model really worked.

Carmack didn't do more with less. He did less with less. It required less processing power because floors were blank, ceilings were blank and everything was on the same level and aligned to an axis. Ultima underworld had textured floors, textured ceilings, sloped walls, sloped floors, sloped ceilings, water, level-over-level polygonal geometry such as bridges. The correct lesson is to not overengineer things that don't need it; ultima underworld was an immersive sim; it needed those things to be compelling; shooting nazis needed framerate more than complexity.

The Luger P08 has been later used in future Wolfenstein titles. * The Machine Gun (Slot 3) is clearly based on the MP40.

To shed light on the locked doors mixing up colors/keys: Im the map editor, there are two different locked doors: gold key and silver key. Both doors do use the same door texture, but the direction the map maker places the door, as in North-south or east-west determines if the light door texture is used or if the dark texture is used. Its done this way to show pseudo lighting effects, and all the different walls have two textures, a light and dark varient that behave this way. The outdoor texture behaves the same way, as in facing direction displays the day texture, and the opposite direction displays the night texture

39:50 this is actually a Wolf 3D quirk. The thing is when you kill an enemy on an opened door, unlike Doom which closes and crushes the corpse, Wolf 3D will not have the doors closed. This applies for all doors, including doors that need a key to be opened. And apparently some enemies can open these locked doors if they're alerted from the other side. So I used this trick to sometimes bypass key searches, kill an enemy on the door and have it be open forever. Fun stuff.

When I first played this game circa 1993 on a pentium II, I thought it was awesome. No sound card though so all the sound effects were just *BEEPS!* But fast forward to 1995 when we got our first 'good' computer, with a Sound Blaster 16... OH MAN! I was BLOWN away playing this game because I had NO IDEA it had such bad ass sound effects, speech and music! It gave me a whole new obsession and appreciation for the game.

The song that was the used as the German national anthem in 1938 is still used as the German national anthem, just not the first and second stanzas. After world war 2, the national anthem was changed to a song talking about rising from ashes, and after reunification of East and West Germany in 1990 the country started using the third stanza of the song. So don't get too hung up on playing a song. The 1938 bad people aren't going to rise again because you played a song from a video game.

I was gonna heart your comment until I saw that second part. That's genuinely interesting, and a great thing to correct me on! And yeah, we can agree there, no one is gonna rise up because of a bitcrushed anthem -- I was a bit libbed up when I wrote this script lmao. My point, though, wasn't that it would empower bad people to do bad things on a larger scale, but that it would embolden Internet scum who get their sick kicks out of connecting dots that aren't there to label others as targets. I do agree though, I handled it wrong.

@@ThatTravGuy jerks will be jerks. Be yourself, have fun, and the people who matter will see who you really are. Hell, if that line was fun to write and say, it was the right thing to do and there's nothing wrong with it. I know I was pretty scared when I released my book for sale since a lot of it is really unfiltered, but I wouldn't have been able to release it, never would have gotten any sales, nor positive feedback if I was constantly criticizing myself over what people I can't control might take it and do with it. I thought it was a surprising fact too!

This was the first computer game I ever played. It was my Grandfathers Intel i-386 PC. So much fun. Been a huge fan of ID software for years!

5:04 Apogee didn't have a website until 1996, and according to the Wayback machine, October 28th, 1996. 5:15 Nocturnal MISSIONS. There's no such thing as the "Nocturnal Expansion." :p

If enemy are in your sight they have less chances to hit you, than enemies you don't see. That's what the formula says. 16 times the distance is subtracted from the 256 or 160, which is lowering the chances to get hit more that 8 times the distance.
