They have created programs which compare two files (called patchers) and store those differences in the patch. However, the ROM hacking community has found a way around this. Unless you replace all of the assets in the DOOM64.WAD, it becomes tricky to distribute your mods without also distributing copyrighted content. However if you edit the DOOM64.WAD you can add textures, sprites, sounds, and music without crashing the game, thus allowing many more types of mods and maps to be made. It will often crash when custom assets are used when loading a WAD.

Also ".bat" files can be made (thanks to phredreeke) which can install patch with just a double click for many players! More details on WAD patching, installing patches, and making patches are discussed below.įor a great example of what WAD patching offers for modability, I suggest looking at Scwiba's The UnMaking: ReMade - ĭemonstration Video of Scwiba's The UnMaking - ReMade:Īlthough the Doom 64 Remaster on Steam can load WADs using the "-file" command, it is very particular. Applying patches is pretty common in the ROM hacking community and online tools exist to do this (so people don't need to download a patching program). Then you can generate a patch from your edited Doom 64 IWAD to share your mod without distributing any copyrighted content. However by editing the Doom 64 IWAD you can use custom assets with your maps and mods. When loading PWADs into the Remaster, it can crash and become unstable when custom assets (textures, sounds, and music) are used with maps. However KPF patching is still useful in adding more modability. Update: Doom 64 Remaster was recently updated to fix PWAD loading, making most of the patching techniques below unnecessary.
