- The file dehacker.zip contains the article "Hacking the DOOM.EXE file". It
- will form the basis for a new chapter in the forthcoming 1.4 doom specs.
- Also included are 5 simple Qbasic programs to extract text lists of stuff
- talked about in the article. Some neat things can be done by modifying
- the EXE file, including making any thing have the same "inviso" property
- that spectres have, making any monster "float" like cacodemons, making
- cacodemons "shoot" lost souls instead of lightning-balls (sort of...make
- your own pain elemental! Don't wait for Doom II).
-
- There's the potential for a skilled programmer with time and vision to
- make a "Doom customization kit" so that everyone can enjoy the possiblities.
-
- All the info is based on the registered 1.2 version, and will be updated
- when 1.4 comes out. Also, please note that those without experience as
- hackers will probably just be confused by this material.
