Proto:Wolfenstein 3D (DOS)/Wall Texture Differences

This is a sub-page of Proto:Wolfenstein 3D (DOS).

Proto Red Brick Wall	Final Red Brick Wall

Both of the red brick wall textures (for shaded and unshaded) have an odd black line on the top and bottom in the Proto. Also, the unshaded wall has some slightly different shading in the Proto which its shaded version does not share. This was fixed in the final.

Proto Steel Walls	Final Steel Walls

The steel walls are very unfinished. Only rough details have been drawn, since these graphics had yet to be converted from EGA to VGA.

Proto Steel Walls w/"Sign"	Final Steel Walls w/Sign

Similar to the regular steel walls above, only in the Proto, there's a sexy pinup calendar that was, unsurprisingly, removed in the final and replaced with such German as "Achtung!" and "Verboten!"

Proto Blue Cell	Final Blue Cell

Very nitpicky, but the white spot in the lower-left corner has been darkened in the final.

Proto Blue Cell 2	Final Blue Cell 2

The shading is incomplete in the Proto, since it's still in EGA mode. The final makes it look a lot more nice.

Proto Blue Walls	Final Blue Walls

The shading of the darker parts is a lot darker and also seems somewhat unfinished. Note that this style is still used in the title screen in the final version.

Proto Blue Cell w/Skeleton	Final Blue Cell w/Skeleton

Another case of the unfinished shading here.

Proto Wood Eagle Artwork	Final Wood Eagle Artwork

Here's a significant difference, the eagle artwork in the Proto looks like a metallic piece of art on the wall! The final gives it some much-needed color. The background of the painting also got some shading.

Proto Wood Hitler Portrait	Final Wood Hitler Portrait

The Hitler portrait was given some much-needed detail in the final. However, given that the portrait does not also darken when viewed from an east-west direction, it seems to be that it's still a work in progress.

Proto Grey Brick Hitler Portrait	Final Grey Brick Hitler Portrait

Same as the portrait on the wooden wall, just on a gray brick texture instead, complete with non-darkening portrait.

Proto Grey Flag	Final Grey Flag

Another extremely nitpicky change: The center-right brick to the right of the flag has three extra light gray pixels in a triangle formation added to it in the final.

Proto Eagle Arch	Final Eagle Arch

The Proto versions contains heavier outlining around the bricks of the archway, as well as some different shading compared to the final. The shading difference can mostly be seen on the right side of the eagle in both the lighter and darker versions.

Proto Shaded Gray Brick 1	Final Shaded Gray Brick 1

The overall shading of the bricks is a lot darker in the Proto version.

Proto Shaded Gray Brick 2	Final Shaded Gray Brick 2

A few of the bricks beside the long, center slab have some shading changes between the Proto and the final, interestingly enough.

Proto Switches	Final Switches

The second elevator sprite had a little error where both the up and down arrows are lit up. This was rectified in the final version.

Proto Sky	Final Sky

The sky is still a work in progress as it is very bare in details. The hills were replaced with grass.
