So what is "The Return"? It's several things, but it's mostly a set of resources from the folks who brought you Eternal DOOM and the BOOM engine. In addition there will be levels from a variety of people, and you can be one of those yourself. Read on. Note: No levels are included in this ZIP file. We have received many requests over the years to use material from the mega-release Eternal DOOM. You know what we mean - the cool railings, breakable glass, and awesome textures - everything from Medieval to High Tech. So here is our gift to you: We are releasing the entire Eternal DOOM Resource WAD as a publicly available resource. That's right! Now you can use the entire Eternal DOOM resource (plus all the new resources released for "The Return") to decorate your levels. Now for the REALLY cool part: We will be setting up a special directory on ftp.cdrom.com for levels made with The Return resources. Ours will be there, and if you make some too, just go to our web page to submit them. The details are there, and we'll put them in that special Return directory too. There will be an index to your levels on our web page, and you can use the handy standard text template file we provide. Just to to http://www.teamtnt.com for details (click on the link for The Return). We hope everyone will use the new Eternal DOOM resources to contribute a level of their own - whether it's SP, DM or COOP, BOOM, ZDOOM, or more. :) Go get it now at: http://www.teamtnt.com ========= FEATURES: ========= - Separate resource WAD now publicly available for use - New status-bar (the one from Eternal Doom). - Many other new and totally new graphics - A few select new sounds (those from Eternal Doom). - Made lovingly by an assortment of crazies dedicated to driving wad players mad (and pretty fair at it too ).

ZIP File contents: RETRES.WAD - The Return resource wad, contains the textures, flats, sprites, graphics and sounds. This is the part that you can use things from.
