I have been making custom monsters for Doom for over 10 years and made over 350 spritesheets. When I was lucky, the spritesheet only took an hour to make. When I was not lucky, it took weeks ( just ask my Baron-at-arms who took more than 2 months ). I was looking for a way how to make the process shorter but I could not find any editor. So I made one by myself, so to speak. It may be unorthodox, but it works.



To create a monster:

First, play the wadfile.
Second, use graphic resolution 1280x800 or higher.
Third, make sure your Gamma Correction Level ( aka F11 ) is set to 1
Fourth, type "Hud_Scale False" in the console.
Lastly, check your weapons and use Fire/Altfire to edit your monster. Once you are satisfied, take a screenshot and paste into an image editor of your choice.

The latest version for Two-handed weapons - https://www.dropbox.com/s/vle6kfylwt55q ... .wad?raw=1

Im going to be adding more custom bodyparts and weapons. If you have any ideas for what I could add, or even if you wish to add something yourself,
feel free to post it here - Im all ears.

PS: No ACS included

A new version finished - Now it is possible to add shields as well.

A new version is out - some new shields, plus the shield no longer obscures the hand on the front attack sprite.

Also, here are some examples of monsters that can be made with this wadfile:

Hello Madcat.

I love this wad has human enemies.
Can the next update feature anything else besides humans, including demons?
If so, I can finally find a new way to create new hybrids.
That would be awesome.

I will definitely try to make some "inhuman" versions but not yet. The next step on my list is already chosen - Two-handed weapons ( maul , war axe...)

I have finished the "two-handed weapons" version - https://www.dropbox.com/s/vle6kfylwt55q ... .wad?raw=1

Im working on a new base for this. This time it is an Orc ( one-headed Ettin recolored green ).

I made two videos about the progress so far -
