- Introduction
-
- This is a short text file I put together for the purpose of quick access
- to codes, addon levels, and LMP demos. There are some other premium
- text files and helpful things to make your DOOMing experience more
- exciting which are listed below!
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Acknowledgements
-
- DOOM is a trademark of id Software, (thanks guys for allowing us to do
- so much with a great game!)

- Game Palace bbs
-
- Game Palace started on 04/07/94 as a small bbs for users to obtain the
- latest patches and upgrades available for PC Games. I personally got
- tired of calling long distance to get the latest patch or upgrade and
- figured a bbs would help. I have never ran a bbs prior to this and I
- just got my first modem in December of 1993. (Yes, I'm a newbie!) <g>
-
- As a DOOM addict, I figured why not cater to this awesome game. There
- were alot files out and more coming! I started by adding one file area
- for DOOM on the board, but that wasn't enough. I now have 7 file areas
- devoted to DOOM and will probably have to add more in the future.
- I gained users from all over the U.S., Canada, Japan, Europe, etc.
- In 2 months! The demand for DOOM had increased so much, I had to delete
- alot of other files to make room on my hard drive.
- Unfortunately, I only have one computer so I don't get to play as much
- as I would like to.
-
- Right now as of this writing, I have over 500 WADS and 96+ megs of DOOM
- files online. Since I get so many new DOOM files daily, I created a
- "DOOMlist" which contains all the DOOM files on Game Palace bbs. This
- is updated nightly! It is called "DOOMLIST.ZIP"
-
- Game Palace is located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida (USA)
- (305)587-4258
- I am the Sysop there and I can also be reached on Internet at:
- steveh@satelnet.org
-
- Long distance users are given immediate access to the bbs and files!
- There are no upload/download ratios and the bbs is FREE! Users can
- be upgraded by request to allow for more time and downloads per day.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Codes (Invincibility, Ammo, etc.)

- There are certain keys you can use to gain access to some wonderful
- things in DOOM. Type these while playing the game. Here they are:

- ammo)

-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- running the game. For more information on exactly what all of
- these lines mean, pick up "The 'Official' DOOM FAQ" by Hank Leukart.

- PWADS (Addon external levels)
-
- PWADS are external levels made by people with level editors. These
- PWADS ("Patch" WADS) are inserted with the command line "-file" and
- allow you to play a new level! For complete information on PWADS,
- check out "The 'official' DOOM FAQ" by Hank Leukart or "DOOMWAD"
- by Steve Huskisson. "DOOMWAD" is available at Game Palace BBS.
- Hank's FAQ is available on bbs's all over and on Internet ftp sites.
- (See below)
-
- To run a PWAD file, make sure the new level is in your DOOM directory
- and from there type:
-
- "DOOM -file <xxxx.wad>"
-
- Where the xxxx is, substitute with the name of the PWAD, and include
- the .WAD extension.
- An example would be: "DOOM -file cool.wad"
-
- You can combine PWADS in one line.
- There are also sound files on PWADS that are ran the same way.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- LMP (Demos)
-
- An .lmp file is a recording of a game of DOOM, either single player or
- a deathmatch game. You can even make a recording of your favorite
- PWAD file. These are fun to sit back and watch, as your friends dueled
- on Deathmatch, or if you need to know where secret rooms are!
-
- To record a demo type at the DOOM directory:
-
- DOOM -devparm -record <demo name w/o .lmp>
-
- Do not include the .lmp.
-
- To record your favorite PWAD type at the DOOM directory:
-
- DOOM -file <pwad.wad> -devparm -record <demo name w/o .lmp>
-
- To play back the demo type at the DOOM directory:
-
- DOOM -devparm -playdemo <demo name w/o .lmp>
- or
- DOOM -file <pwad.wad> -devparm -playdemo <demo name w/o .lmp>
