First, some icons (not the greatest but a variety):
Notes on programs: Read the docs.
They are pretty long but explain a lot too.
These were written back in 1998
and are done using QBASIC entirely.
I released these only because maybe
someone can have fun with them. I don't plan on updating
or rereleasing these programs.
These are released AS IS.
DM is for Doom/Doom II.
HR is for Heretic.
HX is for Hexen.
Now for a quick one for those who know about things. (The WadFile programs)
1) Run the program (double-click
on the .exe)
2) The first thing that pops up
is for a name to call the .txt file created.
3) Enter a name to call the .txt
file (like filename.txt)
4) Press enter.
5) The next part that pops up asks
if you want to use a dir file. (chances are yes).
6) How to make this .dir file:
6explain) the directory file is
done by doing the following DOS commands.
NOTE: DOS commands must be done
from DOS and not while running this
program!
A) if
you have a group of Doom or Doom 2 .WAD files in a directory
then change
to the directory.
B) if
you know that a file in the directory doesn't have a .WAD
extension
and is a .WAD file, then use REN or RENAME to give the file
a .WAD
extension.
C) type
DIR /S /W > filename
D) try
to put the file into the same directory as the WADFILDM.EXE
file.
It makes it easier to remember where it is.
E) syntax
of the statement is:
a) DIR - DOS directory list command
b) /S - Include all subdirectories.
c) /W - inserts periods into the filename listing (known as the
/W switch for wide directories.)
d) > - means to send the stuff to a place specified
NOTE: place specified can be:
1) LPT1: - printer on port 1
2) COM2: - printer or device hooked up to COM2:
3) *filename.ext - a text file. *
4) etc. (LPT2:, COM1:, COM3:, etc.)
e) filename means filename
NOTE: although the directory is not necessary it is recommended
that you should try to point to the directory of your WADFILDM.EXE
file to make it easier to use.
examples:
DIR /S /W > WADFILES.DIR
makes filename called WADFILES.DIR in your WAD directory
DIR /S /W > C:\WADSTUF\WADFILES.DIR
makes filename called WADFILES.DIR in your WADSTUF
directory that contains the WADFILDM.EXE file.
The other stuff is pretty straight
forward.
