DoomShell was born out of sheer lazyness of entering screens full of command lines to set-up our nice deathmatch doom arena.

We'd all sit down behind our super-duper cyber megastation, amps pumped up beyond the 0dB mark, all fired up to whack eachother's brains out, only to find that we had to spend the next three hours shouting at eachother in pure frustration to get the whole thing going.

DoomShell started out just as a program to launch our netdoom sessions, but a lot has changed since then. Check out the list of features below and enjoy!

It's three programs in one! Supports Doom (v1.666-1.9 and probably up), Doom II, Thy Flesh Consumend, Heretic and Hexen (prerelease)!

Automatic (starting) level detection of WAD files, no more IDCLEV level-seeking-frustration while inside doom
Gee this super new WAD file I just leeched looks exactly like the one I know...
