I think both tools are great.

Normally I use TRWEST to add objects to my WADs, but WADMerger for example is useful to add objects directly from level files, fix animation dispatches, edit collision of moveables, for animations, sounds, . . .

Neither, they both have their uses.

I can see no reason to debate such a subject since it undoubtably ends in flaming.

You would be better to ask who uses which tool the most, so I will leave the thread open for such debating, however it will be closed if anything but kind words are used.

If you build your own objects with STRPix, TRwest is better.

If you combine Strpix and TRwest with TRviewer, you don't need anything else even for new kind of animated objects... all what you need, you can build it by yourself with a CAD program.

They each have their own purposes.

TRwest- easy to use, simple interface, doesn't drain resources.

WadMerger- much more features, fix AnimDispatch, add textures, much more complex than TRwest.

I prefer to use TRwest, though sometimes i need WadMerger to do something TRwest cannot.

i personally have never used wadmerger but im sure its a cool program..

i just wanted to know maybe if wadmerger were better than trwest because of the problems with losing sounds when you import an object from another wad...
