    If you remember NWT, you may find this fun https://github.com/fragglet/WadGadget
    https://doomwiki.org/wiki/WadGadget

    WadGadget is a console-based, interactive WAD file editor for Doom engine >games (and others that reuse the WAD format).
    The program is a love letter to TiC's New WAD Tool, a '90s WAD editing
    tool that I have continued to find useful even two decades after its last >release. The user interface is inspired both by orthodox file management >tools like Norton Commander but also by the unfinished 1.4 beta release
    of NWT which was going to have a two-pane interface for viewing two WAD
    files simultaneously.

    Works only on *nix for now though.

    Oh, very neat! I love the way the UI looks.

    I'm perfectly alright with the 'nix only compatibility as that's what I
    use on the regular.
    Cheers!

    So do I. I used to use NWT back in the 90s and still have it on this
    machine, albeit in my "DosBox" directory. Good to see it brought to me
    system in a native way. This would have been useful when I was making
    my own Doom 2 level pack a few years ago, but I instead used my own
    wadmerge tool, which is more basic, instead.
