wow, I have been struggling for 4 days on this, and just found the answer here :)
Thanks for the help. Basically, I hacking Doom1.WAD for sound information that is in raw format.
The PC format is fun too, but I choose to ignore that, the newer (DOOM2.WAD +++) do not use
PC speakers because sound ...

as to the Doom issue, I love ZDoom as it supports most all iwads (game maps). Just do a search to download ZDoom and install. Next you will need to locate all the IWADs you wish to play. That can be hard. ZDoom (zdoom-2.3.1.zip) supports:

I used the wrong refrence variable for determining the length of the text after the reserve marker :shock:
That took several shots of rum before making scence :lol ...

Fixed all issues

I fixed the obvious items .... (basic tag stuff)

I am confused by this one ...

Body settings:
- Background-image-link is not applied / set into the name-stringfield


Can you give me an exerp? An example of what it "did" and what it is supposed to do ?

I coded this little thang :)
Source code here.
