- DOOM is a trademark of id Software
-
- - What is DOOM Control Center?
-
- DOOM Control Center is a utility program that greatly simplifies
- running serial/modem/network games. DCC replaces and enhances all of
- the functionality of DOOM's SETUP.EXE with the exception of the hardware
- configuration portion.
-
- - Features:
-
- - Uses all of the command line features that are built into DOOM but
- are not accessible through SETUP.EXE.
-
- - Start on any level of any episode.
- - Select NO MONSTERS for serious DEATHMATCH games.
- - Specify external WAD files so that you can play modified levels of DOOM.
-
- - Easy to use Windows-like mouse driven user interface; just point and
- click! (keyboard also supported, mouse not required)
-
- - Chat macro editor
-
- - Saved game file editor
-
-
- - Notes:
-
- - DCC.EXE must placed in your DOOM directory.
-
- - DOOM Control Center was designed for use with DOOM version 1.2; as
- such it expects to find DOOM.EXE, IPXSETUP.EXE, SERSETUP.EXE,
- DEFAULT.CFG, and your save game files in the same directory from
- which DCC was launched (i.e. your DOOM directory).
-
- - If you use third-party replacements for the network and/or serial
- drivers make sure they are named IPXSETUP.EXE and SERSETUP.EXE;
- otherwise DCC will not be able locate and run these programs.
-
- - The Load Game dialog boxes have a control group named Monster Options;
- this item does not affect the level on which the game was saved,
- however, it does affect the following levels. For example, if you
- select Normal Monsters when you load a saved game that was started
- with No Monsters then there won't be any monsters on the saved level,
- however, there WILL be monsters when you exit that level and proceed to
- the following levels.
-
- - When loading multi-player saved games be sure to select the Game Type
- (Cooperative or DEATHMATCH) that corresponds to the type of game that
- you were playing when the game was saved. DOOM does not store this
- information in the save game file, therefore, if you do not select
- DEATHMATCH when loading a game that was saved while playing DEATHMATCH
- mode you will find yourself playing in Cooperative mode.
-
- - The WAD Files menu item brings up a dialog box that lists all of the
- .WAD files that are in your DOOM directory (with the exception of
- DOOM.WAD). Double-click with the mouse or use the cursor keys and
- spacebar to select .WAD files from the Available WADs list. As you
- select files, they will appear in the Selected WADs list. When there
- are one or more files shown in the Selected WADs list (i.e. the Selected
- WADs list is not empty) a check mark (√) will appear next to the WAD Files
- item on the main menu to alert you that external level files will be
- specified when you run DOOM. To clear the Selected WADs list simply
- press the Clear button.
-
- - Be careful when loading saved games and specifying external .WAD files
- that you do not select a .WAD file that replaces the episode and level
- of the saved game. Doing so may cause DOOM to crash.
