- DHMERGE 1.1 by Alden Bates 20/7/94
-
- DhMerge is a simple command line program which merges two dehacked patches into a
- third. You invoke by typing:
-
- DHMERGE <first patch file> <second patch file> <target file>
-
- for example, to merge the morfmons.deh and suprwepn.deh patches supplied with
- DeHackEd 1.3, you would type:
-
- DHMERGE MORFMONS.DEH SUPRWEPN.DEH MORFWEPN.DEH
-
-
- Sometimes a warning message will come up. The merge may still have worked, but
- you may have interesting effects. Look at the merge superweapon/flamethrower
- patch. The flamethrower has thousands of ammo units and never uses them. :-)
-
- To ensure that the program works, normal13.deh and the two patches to be
- merged should be in the current directory.
-
- additions to version 1.1:
- You can now merge patch files from before version 1.3. However I only have
- 1.3. If you restore doom.exe to it's original form, you can use dehacked to
- make a standard patch, then rename it to normal12.deh and put it in the
- same directory as dhmerge.exe. (or the current directory)
-
- More control: The second patch file specified takes priority. Due to
- suggestions by Tree, The changed data in the second patch specified takes
- priority over the first.
- If the resulting patch isn't what you want, try swapping the order of the
- files on the command line.
-
- DHMERGE MORFMONS.DEH SUPRWEPN.DEH MORFWEPN.DEH
- and
- DHMERGE SUPRWEPN.DEH MORFMONS.DEH MORFWEPN.DEH
-
- may give different results if they change the same fields.
-
- Also added: more error detecting routines.
-
- Patch file included:
- LOTS.DEH
- combination of the following patch files:
- SUPRWEPN - by Tree
- FLAMETHR - by Night Child <night@iastate.edu>
- SLOP - by ??? Oer, I don't have a text file for this.
- will the author please email. :-)
- BARREL - by Alden Bates <abates@comp.vuw.ac.nz>
- LIGHTFUN - by Jeff <??? wasn't in the text file>
-
- Disclaimer: any damaged caused by patches created with this program are not my
- responsibility. I just wrote a program to change magnetic pulses on a disk.
-
- ID has nothing to do with this. Don't blame them either.
-
- Whatever: If you are going to distribute this program, please distribute this
- zip file intact.
-
- If you distribute any patches created with this, please give the authors of
- any merged patches due credit.
