Author Info : I've built many WADs, which have been some of the best on the Internet. I REALLY want to get my hands on Quake editing tools as soon as they come out. Other WADs by Author : I'm too lazy to list all of them... Water Flood & Gorilla Gore II Get Your Gun! 107 sounds from my mic Deathmatch by Mike Another Heretic Cathedral (Shareware) DF Rifle Patch. Heretic Textures for DOOM II. Houses 1.4. Silhouettes of Phobos. ...Again, I wrote a lot more, but a few were compilations and updates of other ones (i.e. Houses 1.3). Upcoming by Author : You might find levels for Quake by me later on (I'll be patient with the BSP builder). * WAD Description * Brief Description : If you can't find anyone to DM with, then this is for you. Now you don't need a modem or network to play DeathMatch! Outline Description : + Uses monsters changed into players as your opponents. There may be even more than four players at a time. + DeathMatch levels rigged up specifically for this. Some were made by me. + A status bar made by myself using a crappy paint program. + All you have to do is unzip this and type COMPDM. + A lot of fun! WAD Info in More Detail : About two weeks ago, I downloaded a Computer DeathMatch patch. It was sort of buggy (Players got stuck in slop frames and stuff). So I decided to fix it up and then give it some better levels. So, here it is. What's Changed From : + Many player characteristics changed, Original COMP-DM? such as frame fixes. They can now fall off of ledges and you cannot sneak up behind them, like you would a monster. These changes make it more fun and realistic. + New levels. Some I made (My brother made one, too). Some others. The point is that they're good. + Contains a DEH instead of an EXE (Having an EXE is not a good idea). So if you end up getting this instead of Immortal's Computer DeathMatch, that is why. + An Easy Mode for those who aren't DOOM Champions, or just have a slow computer which doesn't allow them to be really good. How It Works : DOOM is tricked into 1-player deathmatch with monsters in nightmare skill level, so their aim is better and they keep coming back. Levels Used : Level 1: IDMAP01.WAD Level 2: MOUNTKNG.WAD (Level 5) Level 3: MIKEBOKN.WAD Level 4: DETHPOND.WAD Level 5: DANZIG2.WAD (Level 19) Level 6: DOOM2.WAD (Level 7) Level 7: DWELLER2.WAD Level 8: J_ROOM4.WAD Level 9: DANZIG1.WAD Might Not Run With : DOOM versions other than 1.9 (It might.) Big Thanks to : The Immortal for the original COMP-DM. Jason Hoffoss for DMapEdit 4.0.11. Oliver Montanuy for DeuTex 3.6. Greg Lewis for DeHackEd. Mark Klem for the tile texture. Id Software. Additional Credits to : Everyone who made the levels in this hack. I credit anything else to the authors of the software, WAD, etc., that I happened to have used. *--------------------------------------------------------------* * Play Information * Game : DOOM II Level(s) Replaced : MAP01 - MAP09 Single Player : You don't really need to explore these levels first, so don't do it. Cooperative 2-4 Player : If you can tell your friends apart from your computer opponents in split-second timing. Deathmatch 2-4 Player : Yes. Not just 2-4 players, but 1-4 players. Difficulty Settings : No, it's automatically set to nightmare to give your opponents better aim. New Sounds : Only to fix BFG guy so you can hear him firing, unlike Immortal's COMP-DM. New Graphics : A couple wall textures and a status bar. New Music : No, but I changed them around in the DEH. Demos Replaced : No. I wish I could, but it won't work. Other Data Replaced : The EXE file. (It won't change yours. This comes with a DEH and all the software it needs.) * Construction * Base : Immortal's Computer DeathMatch 1.6 Main Editor(s) used : DMapEdit 4.0.11, Deutex 3.6, DeHackEd 3.0 Other Editor(s) used : NeoPaint 2.2 Build Time : A couple days. Known Bugs : None, but look below. Other Problems : Frag counter doesn't work. Plus, don't reset in the middle of a game. If you do, go to your DOOM II directory and type: REN DOOM2.EXE DOOMHACK.EXE REN DOOM2.EX_ DOOM2.EXE _AND_, if you ran Easy Mode, add these lines too: REN GTT.DEH EASYMODE.DEH GTT.DE_ GTT.DEH Just in case, make a backup of the DOOM II EXE. Future Improvements : Fix the frag counter, if possible. * Installation * Unzip this to your DOOM II directory and you're ready to go. Type GTT to start. Or type EASYMODE to run Easy Mode. Required to Have in Dir : DOOM II and the files in the list at the top of this text file. * Troubleshooting * Problem: DOOM II crashes when I run this. Solution: This may have conflicts with computers which already have a network. Try removing the lines NE2000 0x61 and LAN from GTT.BAT, restart your computer and try again. * Copyright / Permissions * Authors MAY use this WAD as a base to build additional WADs. You may do whatever you want with this file, as long as you give credit that the author can easily find in the text file. Make sure you align the textures, unlike everybody else (Heh, heh). * Where to get this WAD * FTP sites: ftp.cdrom.com BBS numbers: None. Other: None.
