The strafe buttons together with disabled y axis of the mouse controls make the game play like a modern shooter (you just need to set forw/back to W and S and maybe adjust mouse sensitivity.), thanks to the minimap the frustration level is significantly lowered.
The strafe left/right buttons are hardcoded to A/D, you can't change them, but they are listed in the controls menu. So this will save you the trouble of having to make the changes yourself. These are really small changes, and I'm sure that some mods do the same and even better, but I haven't found any such changes to the original wolf3D game available for download. I found it a lot of fun, but the controls and maze-like structure of the maps was a bit frustrating to me, so I looked for a way to make the game more accesible for me (and possibly other ppl like me). Recently I got around to playing this ancient classic in dosbox.
Simple mod for the original DOS version of Wolf3D that does only 4 things:ġ) Adds strafe left and right buttons (mapped to A and D, cant change it).Ģ) Disables y axis of the mouse so you don't move with the mouse, only turn.ģ) Adds a simple minimap to the HUD (replaces the current weapon picture - optional, you can also download a version without minimap)Ĥ) Adds a minimal crosshair (also optional.)
