Project Management¶
Your WAD can contain multiple maps, and their numbering is determined by the source IWAD you choose to use.
For Doom1, or Freedoom1, you get 4 episodes of 9 maps each: E1M1-9, E2M1-9, E3M1-9 and E4M1-9.
For Doom2, or Freedoom2, you get 32 maps: MAP01 - MAP32.
This manual will focus on the Freedoom1 IWAD.
