- ───── WadSort v0.99 beta
- ─────────
- ───── Pwad Files Co-ordinating System for DOOM
- ──────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- * Notice *
-
- This program is in beta stage and is not guarantee to work on
- every system, if it doesn't work on yours, please let me know.
- Wadsort has been tested on my system for some time and is still
- working fine. There are no obvious problems with Modem/Serial Play but
- I have never tested it on a network. If anyone can kindly test it on a
- network for me or report bug(s), I will be much appreciated :-)
-
-
- * Installation *
-
- Unpack the archive into any directory where you want Wsort to
- locate. Then edit the configuration file to suit your personal needs
- followed by the creation of a batch file to execute wsort recursively
- - A sample is included in the archive.
-
-
- * Execution *
-
- At the command prompt, execute the batch file created earlier,
- a window will pop out replacing whatever was on the screen originally.
- This is the main window of WadSort and almost everything is gonna to
- happen here. Select Pwad files by moving the selection bar along, in
- order to inform Wadsort which pwad file to add , press space bar to
- tag the entry. Wadsort supports up to 27 tag entries which means that
- you can overlap the entire game of doom provided no Pwad overlaps each
- other. Searching with scroll bars will exhaust you really quickly when
- the number of Pwads is considerably large therefore, I have equipped
- Wadsort with a searching routine and once you start fooling around with
- your keys, you will soon recognize how it works. If you think you need
- to check the pwad up, press enter and a window will pop-up showing what
- you practically need to know . Once you are finished with your selec-
- tion, proceed to the next window by pressing the key 'F10' where you
- will find numerous switches for you to toggle. Suit yourself and press
- F10 again.
- It will be DOOM which is communicating to you if you prefer a
- normal single-player game, otherwise it will be another pop-up window
- about serial/network stuffs. To drop back to the previous window,
- press ESC.
-
-
- * Key Summary *
-
- ESC - Go back to previous window or exit to DOS.
- DEL - Delete all tagged Pwad entries, take care.
- END - Place option bar at the last Pwad entry.
- HOME - Place option bar at the first Pwad entry.
- PGUP - Self-Explanatory.
- PGDN - Self-Explanatory.
- SPACE - Tag Pwad entries.
- ENTER - Display Information on Pwads or Tag options.
- ALT-U - Untag all tagged entries.
- ALT-X - Exit to DOS.
- ALT-Q - Exit to DOS.
- ASCII (33 - 126) -
- These keys are used by the searching routine mentioned earlier.
-
-
- * Limitations *
-
- 1, A Maximum of 1024 Pwad files.
- 2, A Maximum of 27 ( 9 * 3 ) tag entries.
- 3, A Maximum of 5 Default Pwad files.
- 4, Support only Comport 1 - 4 and non-standard IRQ (set in config).
- 5, Only the first 15 characters of DOOM Savegame's description are
- displayed for selection.
-
-
- * Tips and Hints *
-
- 1, Turn off options like Respawn, NoMonsters ... will free up some
- spaces in the command line buffer (Max. 127).
- 2, Make sure that option SERPARM and IPXPARM should end with an ENTER
- (strictly speaking, a CR and a LF character) .
- 3, With DOOM version 1.5+ , the problem of insufficient space in the
- command line buffer is insignificant.
- 4, It is ambiguous to tag DOOM's original Iwad, don't tag it.
