WIP: WadViewer

Version: 0.4
Status: Released

WadViewer is TRViewer adapted to open/save .wad files.

It was created for the purpose of importing .3ds files directly into a .wad file so a lot of the TRViewer functionality has been disabled since it is incompatible with .wad files.

WadViewer.exe must be copied into an existing TRViewer folder to work.

WARNING: Use only on a copy of your .wad or have a backup of your .wad. The program has not been tested much.

Building TRViewer – part 7

I found that TRViewer wouldn’t run on Windows XP.

Got a “Not a valid Windows 32 application” error.

The only change I had to make was to set the Linker>System>Minimum Required Version property in the Property Pages to 5.01.
