- DeHackEd v. 1.2
- By Greg Lewis (Tree)
- gregory.lewis@umich.edu
- The Doom.exe hack editor!
-
- With this version of DeHackEd, peruse the Thing tables in the Doom.exe
- file, and modify them at will. Make fireballs invisible! Make missiles
- do 2000 points of damage! Make demons float! Also, edit the Ammo
- tables... more power for your struggling Marine! And... save your
- changes in patch files! Create new types of deathmatches, with plasma
- "mines" and super-fast weakling rockets. Wad developers can create new
- types of monsters to distribute with their levels... great new
- possibilities!
-
- Disclaimer: the author is NOT responsible for any damage, corrupting,
- or trashing of the doom.exe file that this program causes.
-
- Hint: Make a backup of the doom.exe before you begin!
-
- Many thanks to Matt Fell (matt.burnett@acebbs.com) for the specs
- that made this possible. Also, to Id for the great game! It is a VERY
- good idea to pick up a copy of the doom.exe hack specs, available
- at infant2.sphs.indiana.edu.
-
- Look for a new version of DeHackEd as soon as 1.4 is released, which
- will be able to work with both popular versions of Doom (1.2 and 1.4).
- It should be available within days after the 1.4 release. The new
- version will likely still be able to read 1.2 patch files, too!
-
- NOTE: If anyone finds new information about any of the unknown or '?'
- information, please inform me about it, so I can include it in the next
- version of the editor. I will also relay the information to Matt Fell.
-
- I'm interested in some feedback on the following question: should I
- include the ability to edit the frame, sound, and/or sprite tables? Let
- me know if anyone considers this to be very useful (and why?!), and I may
- include it in the next version. Until then, a viewer is all you get...
-
- Future versions may or may not include:
-
- Frame/sound table editing
- A better interface
- ??? (your suggestions here)
-
- Or, if anyone is interested in adding code to this program, email me
- and I can give you the stuff I've got now to look at. Or, if someone
- wants to take care of dhaked altogether, let me know. I need to get to
- work on tree4.wad! :)
