Wolfenstein3D Platinum for the iPhone and iPod Touch allows users to download custom made maps directly to their device.

Instructions for downloading and installing:

1. Make sure that Wolfenstein 3D Platinum is installed.
2. Using Safari on the device, browse to any website that is hosting wolf3d ".map" files
3. Click on the provided link to the hosted map file
4. Wolfenstein 3D Platinum will automatically start on your device.
5. The app will automatically begin downloading the map file from the provided URL.
6. Once Wolfenstein 3D Platinum has finished downloading and installing the map, the new custom level will begin.
7. Now your new map is available.  Play and enjoy.

Instructions for uploading custom maps to a website:

1. Hosting a Wolfenstein 3D Platinum map is similar to hosting any other media on your website.
2. Upload the map file to your website.
3. Provide a link to the map file.
4. The link must have the prefix "wolf3dp" instead of the usual "http"
5. In example, if the url to your website is "http://www.website.com/" and you place a custom map called "userExample.map" into the root directory of your website, then the link for installing would be "wolf3dp://www.website.com/userExample.map"
6. Here is an example of the html code for such a link:

<a href="wolf3dp://www.website.map/userExample.map">This is a link to a Wolfenstein 3D Platinum map.</a>

Creating user maps:

1. Creating user maps for Wolfenstein 3D Platinum is the same process as creating custom maps for Wolfenstein 3-D Redux.  You are welcome to make your own maps with whichever method you feel most comfortable.  Detailed below is one way of creating maps, on a windows xp machine.
2. Download a wolfenstein3d map editor.  There is one that is available for download at 3drealms.com in a file titled "wolf3dsu.zip"
3. In that zip file, the map editor is located in a folder called "MAPEDIT" and the name of the program is "MAPEDIT.EXE"
4. You will also need copies of the files "GAMEMAPS.WL6" and "MAPHEAD.WL6" in this same folder.  These files contain the original Wolfenstein3D maps and can be found with original copies of the game.
5. You may need a copy of DOSBox.  DOSBox can be found at dosbox.com.
6. After installing DOSBox, you can now run MAPEDIT.EXE.  One way of doing this is copying "dosbox.exe" (for version 0.73), "SDL.dll" and "SDL_net.dll" from its installation folder and placing it in the folder that contains "MAPEDIT.EXE" and then creating a .bat file that contains the following commands:

.\dosbox .\MAPEDIT.exe

exit

1. Running the .bat file will run MAPEDIT.EXE in dosbox. This will allow you to edit the maps in "GAMEMAPS.WL6" and "MAPHEAD.WL6"
2. Your edited maps will be stored in the "GAMEMAPS.WL6" and "MAPHEAD.WL6" files.
3. You will now need to extract the .map files from "GAMEMAPS.WL6" and "MAPHEAD.WL6."  This is possible using the wolfextractor from the Wolfenstein3-D Redux project.
4. After acquiring a working copy of the wolfextractor.  Create a folder called "base" in the same folder that contains the wolfextractor.  Now copy all your .WL6 files, including your edited "GAMEMAPS.WL6" and "MAPHEAD.WL6" files, into the folder titled "base"
5. Running the wolfextractor will extract all the data and place it into another file called "wolf.pak" in the "base" folder.
6. Change the name of the file "wolf.pak" to "wolf.zip"
7. Unzip "wolf.zip"
8. There will now be a folder called "maps".  In that folder is where your edited .map files are located.
9. Change the name of your edited .map files from w##.map to some other name ending in extension ".map".  
10. Congratulations!  You have now created your own custom maps for Wolfenstein 3D Platinum!  To share your maps with the rest of the world, follow the instructions above to post them to your website.
