DOOM games should have proper names
Currently their name is just their filename without .wad
. The wad files are named this way:
-
doom.wad
: DOOM (Or Ultimate Doom if it's 4-episode version) -
doom2.wad
: DOOM II: Hell on Earth -
heretic.wad
: Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders (can also be just Heretic, which only includes 3 episodes) -
hexen.wad
: Hexen: Beyond Heretic -
hexdd.wad
: Hexen: Deathkings of the Dark Citadel
There are also The Plutonia Experiment and TNT: Evilution, and a few other games like Strife.
(Nevermind DUKE
, that's a separate bug)
This looks bad (they aren't even capitalized, or may be in all caps, given how DOS was case-insensitive) and also doesn't allow to get good covers. On the screenshot above, only one cover is correct:
- DOOM 2 uses DOOM cover;
- Heretic uses cover of the 1-episode shareware release, although it's 5-episode version;
- Hexen uses Hexen 2 cover;
- hexdd uses something completely unrelated.
