You're right up my path, Piskus.I've done a few things for the unofficial level editor.
Maybe you should see the following site: http://216.47.133.65/1540723/main.html
where all others like minded file decrypters are.
In answer to your query, no, the wad is not encrypted. It's a binary (struct-ured data) with repetitions; that type of file is usually named a "chuncky file". To read it, you have to "walk" it and pick up each separate instance of each struct.
Am I making sense?
The first part of the file is the texture coordinates to map the texture to the texture strip. Which is why, if you keep the wad but change the texture, you doors will probably look like water (or worse).
I program in VB6, ANSI C and Borland C Builder (ver. 5) and my strong points are databases and binary files.
Soon...
