OBLIGE Level Maker

ABOUT OBLIGE

OBLIGE is a random level maker for a bunch of classic FPS games. Just press a few buttons and kazam! out pops some fun maps to play. Well that's our goal anyway, it may take a while to fully achieve it.

OBLIGE is Free Software, released under the GNU GPL license. Please note that it comes with absolutely NO WARRANTY of any kind. You can read the GNU General Public License for all the legal stuff.

FEATURES / GOALS

OBLIGE will have the following general features which set it apart from existing programs (like the famous SLIGE by David Chess)

• higher quality levels, e.g. outdoor areas!
• easy to use GUI interface (no messing with command lines)
• built-in node builder, the created levels are ready to play
• uses the LUA scripting language for easy customisation

We plan to fully support the following games:

• DOOM and DOOM II
• Heretic
• Hexen
• Quake

Other games, such as Quake 2 and Duke Nukem 3D, might get supported in the future, but for now the focus is mainly on the games listed above.

(See the WISHLIST for even more stuff we'd like to add)

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

• Pentium 500 Mhz CPU or higher.
• 128 MB of RAM or higher.
• Windows 2000, XP, Vista or later. (Linux is supported too)

KNOWN PROBLEMS

• no traps, no cages
• no secrets, no powerups
• very limited scenery
• messed up monster quantities

(The TODO contains a list of bugs and features currently being worked on)

STATUS OF GAMES

DOOM and DOOM II:
Very playable (despite the limitations listed above).

Heretic:
Close to being playable, needs more work on proper themes (such as the Heretic style of locked doors with the statue out front), etc...

Hexen:
Not playable just now, the map/wad building code cannot create the Hexen-specific formats yet.

Quake:
Close to being playable, but still lacking many things: lighting, visibility, doors, sloped floors or ceilings, liquid areas, proper themes, etc... etc...

Quake II:
Quite far from being playable, working levels cannot be built yet, and lacks all the same stuff missing from Quake (listed in the previous entry).
