- SWLSABER
- ----------
-
- "This is the weapon of a Jedi knight. Not as clumsy or as random as a
- blaster. An elegant weapon for a more civilized age."
- - Obi-Wan Kenobi.
-
- Here it is, fellow DOOMers! You wanted a lightsaber, you got it!
-
- Designed as part of the Star Wars DOOM experience, the lightsaber
- replacement sprites (for the chainsaw) add one more piece to the total
- experience.
-
- For the full effect, I recommend creating a complete Star Wars Doom
- replacement sprite WAD from all the ones floating around out there
- (STROOPER, SWLASER, etc.) Trust me, the final effect will be well worth
- the effort. Also recommended are SWMUSFX3, SWGRFX and STARWAR2.
-
- Kudos to all those who have gone before, and good luck to all those
- who will come after.
-
- You first need to unzip everything into your main DOOM directory.
-
- -> To replace the lightsaber sprites directly into DOOM.WAD,
- run DMPERM. *** CAUTION *** This permanently alters your
- DOOM.WAD.
-
- -> To create a new PWAD called LSABER, run DMPWAD. This option
- is basically to test out the SWLSABER graphics.
-
- -> To replace the lightsaber sprites into your own sprite PWAD,
- run DMINTO <pwadname.wad>. This PWAD _must_ be one already
- DMADDed (ie. it replaces DOOM sprites while playing the game
- with DOOM -file <pwadname.wad>. This option is to replace
- the chainsaw sprites in your Star Wars Doom sprite PWAD.
