WAD Mangle

WAD Mangle, now at its latest version 2.0.0.42801, is a versatile WAD file lump editor designed for Photo & Graphics enthusiasts, particularly within the Viewers & Editors subcategory. Developed by Ian Cowburn, this program is crafted for Windows XP, 7, 8, 10, and 11 and is available to download as WADMangle.exe. What sets this tool apart is its open-source nature, providing users with the ability to freely tweak and customize the software as per their needs.

WAD Mangle facilitates the loading and editing of WAD files using a standard multiple-document interface. Each loaded WAD file appears in a separate window, enabling easy manipulation of lumps within these files. One of the standout features is its drag-and-drop functionality, allowing lumps from other loaded WADs and even files from Windows Explorer to be effortlessly incorporated into an active WAD file.

The program holds additional appeal due to its compatibility with plug-ins written in any language capable of using and generating .NET assemblies. As of version 2.0.0, external executables can also function as plug-ins, broadening the scope for developers and hobbyists alike.

Interestingly, WAD Mangle is released under the Open source license, granting users complete access to its source code. This generosity extends to the ease with which users can integrate WAD manipulation routines into their projects, thanks to the self-contained .NET assembly. More
