- *** About this program
-
- This program should be fairly simple to use. Just run DMSND and specify
- if you have the registered version of DOOM or not, where the sound files are
- (or are to be put), where your DOOM program is installed and whether you want
- your DOOM.WAD file to be backed up (only applicable for installing new
- sounds).
-
- Note that the sound files are expected to be in the format 01.WAV through
- 61.WAV (49.WAV for shareware DOOM), or 01.SND through 61.SND (or 49.SND).
-
- Note also that this program expects to find the DMAUD program in your PATH.
- The DMAUD program was written by Bill Nesius. I hope he doesn't mind me
- including version 1.1 with this distribution.
-
- *** Some Examples:
-
- 1. Extracting your current DOOM sounds
-
- Run DMSND
- Specify whether you have the registered or shareware version of DOOM
- installed.
- Specify the directory where DOOM is installed
- Specify the directory to extract the sound files to (the directory need not
- exist, and should preferably be an empty directory)
- Choose "Install/Extract Sounds"
- Choose "Extract Current Sounds"
- If all goes well, you should have a bunch of sound files (in .WAV format) in
- your chosen sound directory.
-
- 2. Installing new DOOM sounds
-
- This program has been designed to install sound files with the format 01.WAV
- (or 01.SND) through 61.{WAV,SND} (49.{WAV,SND} for the shareware version).
- If you have a DOOM sound pack that doesn't follow this format, use the
- install routine that came with the sounds (if any) to install the sounds into
- DOOM, then follow the steps in procedure 1 above ("Extracting your current
- DOOM sounds") to get the sound files into the DMSND format.
-
- Run DMSND
- Specify whether you have the registered or shareware version of DOOM
- installed.
- Specify the directory where DOOM is installed
- Specify the directory where the new sound files are, see the note above for
- the proper filename format for the sounds.
- Choose whether you want the DOOM.WAD file backed up (to DOOMWAD.BAK)
- Choose "Install/Extract Sounds"
- Choose "Install new sounds"
- If all goes well, your new sounds should now be installed into DOOM. Start
- DOOM and try it out!
