- DOOM Modem Front
- version 1.0
-
- by
- Brian Groose
-
-
- This program was created to be used only for modem play,
- as that is the only type of multi-player DOOM I can play. (If
- you want to send me a couple more computers with network cards,
- then I'll make one for network play) It's a pretty simple
- program, written in BASIC.
- The three files that should come with DMF are:
- -DMF.EXE the main executable
- -DMF.DOC this file
- -RDMF.BAT the data file and batch file
- anything else was not put in by me
-
- In order to take up the least amount of memory (write it
- in C or assembly) the program does not actually start DOOM. It
- creates a batch file (which is also the program's data file) that
- will execute DOOM with the options you chose.
-
- DMF supports the following DOOM parameters:
- -devparm (always on) to take a screen shot with F1
- -warp so you can start at any level
- -nomonsters for those serious deathmatch players
- -respawn for people who LOVE to kill monsters
- -altdeath (DeathMatch v2.0 rules) which is available in
- DOOM v1.5+ (read the docs for what it does)
- -fast so those monsters really move
- -turbo (0%-250%) which is also available in DOOM v1.5+
- note: both players do NOT need to use turbo
- -deathmatch (isn't it obvious)
- -cooperative (which is the default so it doesn't use it)
- -skill (1-5) for EVERY skill level (unlike SETUP.EXE)
- -com(1-4)
- -answer to wait for a call
- -dial (number) to call someone
- -file to use external .WAD files
-
- note: if you choose too many parameters you might create a
- command longer that 127 characters, which is DOS's length limit,
- and any characters after 127 will be ignored. This means that
- you should limit the number of PWAD file (some utilities, such as
- DEU can merge several PWAD files into one big one) and not choose
- redundant parameters (like -NoMonsters and -Respawn).
-
-
- Because of screen space, DMF will only display the first
- 28 .WAD files that it finds, and you can only have 6 selected for
- the same reason.
- DMF.EXE, RDMF.BAT (the data/batch file), and any .WAD
- files you wish to use must be located in the same directory as
- DOOM. DMF will give you a list of any .WAD file in the current
- directory.
- If this program does anything bad to your computer
- (which it is not intended to) then it is not my fault.
-
- Thing I hope to add in alter version:
- -load savegames
- -record demos (which you can do in multi-player mode in
- DOOM v1.4+)
