- DOOM Utilities Version 0.1 Copyright (c) 1994 Bill Kirby
-
- This is a very preliminary version of DOOM Utilities. It will
- currently only allow you to view the maps. It should work with
- all version of DOOM. DOOM Utilities is FREEWARE. Distribute it
- to everyone everywhere. All I ask is that you not modify it in
- any way or charge money for it.
-
- INSTALLATION
- ============
-
- To install it, make a new subdirectory and copy the contents of
- the DMUTIL01.ZIP file into it. DOOM Utilities does not need to be
- installed into the same directory where DOOM is installed. The
- file DOOMUTIL.INI is the configuration file what is used by DOOM
- Utilities to locate the DOOM files. There are four items in this
- file that can be modified:
-
- doompath - points to the directory where DOOM is installed
- (must have a trailing backslash)
- wadfilename - name of .WAD file to use. This will change depending
- on whether you have the shareware or commercial game
- episode - default episode to view when DOOM Utilities starts up
- level - default level to view when DOOM Utilities starts up
-
-
- USING DOOM UTILITIES
- ====================
-
- The screen is divided into two parts. The left is the map view, the
- right is a control panel. There are several buttons on the control
- panel:
-
- QUIT - quit to DOS
- ZIN - Zoom in
- ZOUT - Zoom out
- UP - Pan up
- DOWN - Pan down
- LEFT - Pan left
- RIGHT - Pan right
- EP++ - switch to next episode
- EP-- - switch to previous episode
- LV++ - switch to next map
- LV-- - switch to previous map
-
- The map view is similar to the automap in the game. The green arrows
- indicate objects. As far as the different colors go, the only thing
- that really means anything right now is purple=secret.
-
- ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
- ===============
-
- I would like to thank ID for making an outstanding game. And for
- their cool attitude towards these type of add-on utilities. I
- encourage everyone to buy the registered version of DOOM, it's
- well worth the money and everyone at ID deserves to get filthy
- rich from their creation.
-
- If you have comments or suggestions, you can send them to me via
- e-mail at bkirby@netcom.com. After the large amount of e-mail
- I recieved in response to my Wolf3D editors, I am not going to
- promise a personal response to everyone who writes. As common
- questions start to appear, I'll create a FAQ to answer them.
-
- Enjoy!
