(Peace Not Prisons, End The Drug War) Filename : LEGALIZ1.WAD Author : Neil Johnson Email Address : njj@calyx.com Misc. Author Info : Uncompromising drug war opponent. Description : A horrific simulation of a future world gone mad. The drug war having raged out of control with relocation (death) camps being filled with peaceful cannabis users. You the player being a peaceful non-voilent cannabis user finding yourself the first addition to a whole new death camp complex. Sure to be a cult classic. You run around collecting "bong hits" for health & armor while killing off (in self defense) all the classic drug war baddies. Cool sounds sampled from NWA, Cypress Hill, Ice-T & others. Lots of cool anti-drug war slogans. Lets prevent this story from becoming true. Peace Not, Prisons, End the Drug War. Learn to be an expert anti-drug war debater from the bonus file schaffer.exe (zip file in executable format). Additional Credits to : Well of course "The War On Drugs" with out which this game could not have been possible. ================================================================ * Play Information * Episode and Level # : DOOM all levels (no new maps) Single Player : Yes Cooperative 2-4 Player : Yes Deathmatch 2-4 Player : Yes Difficulty Settings : Yes New Sounds : Yes New Graphics : Yes New Music : No Demos Replaced : None * Construction * Base : New level from scratch. Editor(s) used : DMGRAPH, DMAUD Known Bugs : will not work with -file option due to sprites Use legaliz1.bat program to update doom.wad * Copyright / Permissions * Authors MAY use this level as a base to build additional levels, as long as you are against the drug war. Send me email njj@calyx.com if you have questions. * Where to get this WAD * FTP sites: ftp://calyx.com/pub/software/doom/legaliz1.exe (self extracting zip) ftp://calyx.com/pub/software/doom/legaliz1.zip (zip archive format) HTTP sites: http://calyx.com/~njj/doom/legaliz1.exe (self extracting zip) http://calyx.com/~njj/doom/legaliz1.zip (zip archive format) BBS numbers: None, yet. How to Install: The Legalize It doom wad is distributed in two forms. LEGALIZ1.EXE is a self extracting zip file. Of course you can alway unzip this file with the command PKUNZIP LEGALIZ1.EXE. Legalize It is also distrubuted as a zip file LEGALIZ1.ZIP If you have the LEGALIZE.EXE file. Copy LEGALIZ1.EXE (a self extracting zip file) to you doom directory. Then extract by typing LEGALIZ1.EXE [Enter] on the command line. If you have the LEGALIZE.ZIP file. Copy LEGALIZ1.ZIP to you doom directory. Then extract by typing PKUNZIP LEGALIZ1.EXE [Enter] on the command line. Note PKUNZIP if availible on most BBS & shareware distribution sites. Now backup you your DOOM.WAD by coping it to a file with a name like BACKUP.WAD. Well actually you don't really need to backup, you could let Legalize It! become your new game. Only the graphics & sounds have changed. The rest of the game remains the same. Next type LEGALIZ1.BAT [Enter] on the command line. This will load the new graphics & sounds. Note: this will go faster if you enable disk cache. Next just type DOOM [Enter] at the command line. When you've had enough fun, become an expert at why the drug war should be ended & how to become an expert debater. No more getting ignored or loosing debates. Move SCHAFFER.EXE (included) to a new directory. Type SCHAFFER.EXE [Enter] (self extracting zip) (or type PKUNZIP SCHAFFER.EXE) to uncompress a bunch of text files which can convert you into an expert drug war debater.

The shareware version works just fine for this task. However, I suggest you go out and buy the full version because the Legalize It Doom version is even better when you have all 32 levels of "Legalize It" play. The best place to get doom is: http://doomgate.cs.buffalo.edu/ftptree/pub/idgames/idstuff/doom19s.zip To ftp the shareware version try: ftp://pub/doom/idstuff/dm19rpat.zip ftp://ftp.sls.wau.nl/pub/msdos/doom/idstuff/dm19rpat.zip Currently, after a long and turbulent voyage, the main archive site for all of id's games (Doom, Doom2 and Heretic) is the /pub/idgames at ftp.cdrom.com. Among the numerous mirroring sites are: Texas: ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/tosmore/ 192.246.40.6 Utah: ftp://ftp.pht.com/pub/games/doom/ 198.60.59.5 Wisconsin: ftp://ftp.uwp.edu/pub/games/id/home-brew/doom/ 131.210.1.4 New York: ftp://doomgate.cs.buffalo.edu/pub/idgames/ 128.205.37.3 South Africa: ftp://ftp.sun.ac.za/pub/msdos/doom/ 146.232.212.21 Taiwan: ftp://nctuccca.edu.tw/PC/games/DOOM/ 140.111.1.10 Austria: ftp://flinux.tu-graz.ac.at/pub/idsoftware/ 129.27.2.237 France: ftp://anasgard.calvacom.fr/pub/pc/doom/ 194.2.168.3 Netherlands: ftp://ftp.sls.wau.nl/pub/msdos/doom/ 137.224.127.2 England: ftp://ftp.dungeon.com/pub/msdos/games/IDgames/ 193.130.144.3 Sweden: ftp://ftp.luth.se/pub/games/doom/ 130.240.16.39 How To FTP Shareware Doom v1.9 ------------------------------ Last Change: 3rd March 1995 Notes: ^^^^^^ Please read ALL of this file before attempting to get the game, to make sure you understand what to do. A list of Doom ftp sites will be sent to you immediately following this message. Use this list to decide where to obtain files by ftp. If you require more details about how to use ftp then email me asking for the 'introduction to ftp' help file. Note: it's possible that you may have received this message second and the ftp list first; if that happened, apologies for any confusion caused. Finally, once you get onto an ftp site and have found the main Doom directory, you will find all the files discussed here in the 'idstuff' sub-directory. Introduction. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ One easy way to get Shareware Doom is from an ftp site. Many sites have the shareware version, which is the whole of episode 1 from the registered version (the full game has a further two episodes but you will NOT be able to find this on ftp sites for obvious reasons! :D). However, there are only a few sites that are _guaranteed_ to have the appropriate files. These sites are the main Doom ftp site (see ftp site list) and the various 'mirrors' of this site which exist around the world. Sites will usually also have the various patch files with which one can upgrade older versions of Shareware Doom (and also Registered Doom patches, if you happen to have Registered Doom). There are quite a few older versions of Shareware Doom floating about (many people never bother upgrading), but the only one which is available from the main Doom ftp site and its mirrors is the _latest_ version of Shareware Doom, namely v1.9. Note that if you are looking for Shareware Doom that is NOT to be run on a PC, then look in the appropriate sub directory within 'idstuff' (eg. SGI, SUN, NEXT, etc.) and note that non-pc Shareware Doom will tend to be from v1.6 to v1.8. Always download the accompanying text files for non-pc versions as the installation instructions will be very different from the pc version. If you intend to upgrade an older version of Shareware Doom, then please see Appendix A which has more information on this subject. Downloading Shareware Doom. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Here are instructions for downloading Shareware Doom, version 1.9... Step 1: Ftp to an appropriate site. As an example, I did this (I'm using Unix, incidentally. PC users might use an ftp program from Windows, etc.): ftp ftp.luth.se This site is in Sweden, Europe, by the way. At the prompt for your name, enter 'ftp' (minus the quotes). If 'ftp' gives an error, enter 'anonymous' instead. As a password, enter your full email address; i.e. you'd enter: name@address e.g. I entered: mapleson@cee.hw.ac.uk Actually, I could have abbreviated this to just: mapleson@ since most ftp sites 'fill in' the rest automatically. Type the password carefully as it won't be echoed to the screen. Step 2: Goto the appropriate directory. On this particular site, enter: cd pub/doom/idstuff followed by: dir (on some sites you might have to enter 'ls -l' though this is not common. I'd include the -l to see how big the files are) Amongst the various files, you'll see these two: -r--r--r-- 1 31 20 488 Feb 15 23:44 doom_19s.txt -r--r--r-- 1 31 20 2450688 Feb 15 23:46 doom_19s.zip The file doom_19s.zip is the shareware game in zip (compressed) form. The file doom_19s.txt is a brief contents description of the zip file. The README contained within the zip file has a more detailed decription. The other files which will be visible are patch files for various version of Shareware and Registered Doom I, plus patch files for various version of Registered Doom II (there is NO Shareware version of Doom II). See Appendix A for more details on patch files. Step 3: Use binary mode. Before you can get the file(s), you have to switch to binary mode, otherwise any files you get will be useless. So enter this: bin Or, if that gives an error (very unlikely), enter this: image You'll get a message saying 'Switched to type: binary', or something similar ('Switched to type I, binary.', is a common message). 4. Next, enter this: hash This will make '#' symbols appear during the ftp process, enabling you to see how the transfer is getting on. Each '#' represents a certian number of bytes transfered. It varies from 1024 to 8000 upwards. Incidentally, if you can use the ncftp program, that program actually tells you what percentage of the transfer has been completed so far, which is more informative than # symbols. I, however, can only use ordinary ftp. Users of Mosaic or Netscape (or any other World Wide Web browser) will find such programs also give a good indication of how the ftp transfer is going. It isn't necessary to enter hash for the ftp to work, but I always do because I find the feedback useful. It's reassuring to see those hash signs appearing. :) Enter this to get the big Doom file: get doom_19s.zip followed (after a possibly hefty wait!) by: quit to exit the ftp program (or click on 'Disconnect', whatever is appropriate). Actually, a safer way to exit ftp is to enter 'close' before entering 'quit', but (so far) leaving out the 'close' has caused me no problems. Of course, you might find you can't get onto a site because too many other people are on it. If this happens, use a different site or try later on. Also, you can keep an eye on how the ftp is going by repeatedly listing the file that's getting created as you wait (assuming you can do more than one thing at once, using some kind of windowing system. I use XWindows on an SGI Indy, so this is easy). Comparing this to how big the file will eventually be gives you some idea of how long it's going to take. If it's gonna take *hours*, kill the process off (if you can! Easy on Unix) and try a different site. Try to use a site that's closest to you and don't forget that the early hours of the morning (say, 3am to 8am, local time of the site) will be the best time to transfer files. How long the file(s) takes to transfer will vary greatly from site to site, from 30 to 40 seconds to as much as an hour. The example site I used here is usually pretty fast (peaks at 100K/sec where I am in Edinburgh); however, in this case, I downloaded the file in mid evening so it took just under 14 minutes (the fastest I've had from this site for this file is 30 seconds). Unfortunately, modem users are going to get MUCH slower rates. If you're in the UK, download at cheap rate times! :D But most of all, always try and use a site that's closest to you; ie. if a mirror of the main Doom ftp site is closer to you than the main site itself, then use the closer one. Actually, this is a general rule as it depends partly upon what kind of machine is actually running the ftp site which you're trying to access. For instance, ftp.luth.se (in Sweden) is run by a much more powerful machine than the one which manages a Doom mirror site in the UK, so even though the Swedish site is much further awaym it's actually up to six times faster than the UK site from where I am! :D You can also do a little test to see how fast the site is. Download a small file (any one will do) that's around 30K. From this you can work out how long the Shareware game would take to download and hence the overall speed of one site compared to another. You'll probably find speeds vary greatly throughout the day. Build up a list of 'best times' to access various sites. Doing this could gratly reduce your phone charges, so it's well worth it. Anyway, on with the ftp... The file you get is a 'zip' file which means it has been compressed. You need an unzipping program to extract the original file(s). UNIX users should have a system command called 'unzip', so enter: unzip doom_19s.zip PC users need something like PKUNZIP v2.04g, in which case you'd enter: pkunzip doom_19s.zip A few words on unzipping files: make sure, if you're using PKUNZIP, that you have version 2.04g just to be on the safe side. If you do not have this, I can send it to you if you have a uudecoding program, or you can ftp PKUNZIP. Where to get pkunzip by ftp: pkunzip: Version 2.04g is available from oak.oakland.edu in the directory /pub/msdos/zip and the file name is pkz204g.exe (this is a self- extracting archive. Run the program and the various pk utilities will be extracted for you automatically). I got the following from unzipping the file: Inflating: install.bat Inflating: deice.exe Inflating: dooms_19.dat Extracting: dooms_19.1 Inflating: dooms_19.2 Thus, entering 'ls -l' (I'm using Unix; pc users use dir of course) gave: -rw-r--r-- 1 mapleson 17303 Feb 2 01:23 deice.exe -rw-r--r-- 1 mapleson 2450688 Mar 3 12:14 doom_19s.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 mapleson 1439232 Feb 2 01:24 dooms_19.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 mapleson 994588 Feb 2 01:24 dooms_19.2 -rw-r--r-- 1 mapleson 226 Feb 2 01:23 dooms_19.dat -rw-r--r-- 1 mapleson 184 Feb 3 18:13 install.bat You can now delete the doom_19s.zip file if you want to. If you don't already have the files on your pc, you will need to transfer them to floppies and get them there. You'll need two high density floppy disks. Say they're called Disk 1 and Disk 2. Place the file 'doom_19.2' on Disk 2 (Disk TWO). Place all the remaining files on Disk 1. On your pc, insert Disk 1, select drive A, and enter: install The game will then install itself. The two disks take about two and a half minutes to load from the two floppy disks. After this is finished, you will be asked to re-insert Disk 1 and press RETURN (by the way, if you can afford the hard drive space, you can install the game direct from having the files on your hard drive, in a directory call INSTALL or something, which is MUCH faster! Just copy them over and enter install from there). Having pressed RETURN, it will ask you what drive you want to decompress the game to. Just press the letter that corresponds to the drive you want. Then, you are asked for the directory to install into (usually in the form :\DOOMSW or something similar). Again, just press RETURN (unless you want to alter the directory specification to \games\doom or something). After pressing RETURN, the game will 'DE-ICE' - that is, it will decompress itself onto the drive. This process only takes 20 seconds on a 486/66, but it'll probably take somewhat longer (maybe a minute or two) on something like a 386/40. Depends on your processor and drive type. What I _can_ say is that about 4 lines of dots appear (you'll know what I mean by that when you see it). The speed at which the dots are displayed should then give you some idea as to how long it's going to take to DEICE. Shouldn't take long... When it's finished, the game will automatically run the Doom setup program: Select your sound card settings (if wanted/possible), re-configure the controls if necessary/desired, etc. Then select the 'Save settings and run Doom' option. And that's it! Note: make sure that if you reconfigure the mouse or keyboard controls, you must press F10 to accept the new setup, and _not_ RETURN! This setup program can be run any time from DOS by entering 'setup' from your Doom directory, by the way. Doom runs best on a 'clean' system, i.e. make sure you have nothing unnecessary running in memory, sych as EMM. If you have DOS 6.2 or higher, hold down Shift during boot-up. Alternatively, create special autoexec.bat and config.sys files that have the barest minimum of essentials for playing Doom (sound card commands, etc). The biggest improvment you can get in speed in Doom (after selecting low res mode and/or reducing screen size) is to upgrade from 4 meg to 8 meg of RAM. If the game is slow, try reducing screen size and use low res mode. After memory, a big improvement can be obtained by using a VESA Local Bus and good video card. Doom is a bus-instensive game. I hear a good video card is the Tseng series. If don't have much memory, a faster hard drive helps. Obviously, a faster processor will always give a general speed-up, but RAM and bus speed are probably the key factors as regards smoothness of game play. NOTE! Read the README file in the Doom directory! It has LOTS of useful info and trouble-shooting answers. Have fun! :) Ian. PS. Some of you may try Nightmare mode first. Remember: only the iddt and idclev cheats work in Nightmare mode, so don't complain when you find you can't get god mode, max ammo, etc. In case you have NO idea what I'm talking about, here is a small cheat summary (for full details, ask me for the cheats file - if I haven't already sent it to you. The cheats work by just typing them at anytime during normal play): iddqd - Gode mode. idkfa - Gets you max ammo, health, colour keys, etc. idfa - As idkfa, but no keys. idspispopd - No clipping (walk through walls). The equivalent code in Doom II is 'idclip'. idbehold - Power up (followed by one of S, V, I, R, A or L). idclev - Warp to episode/level (press two digit keys after typing). idmypos - Display co-ordinates in hexadecimal notation. idchoppers - Gives you the chainsaw. iddt - Toggle map detail (can only be used whilst in Map Mode). - End of main help info. )*------------------------------------------------------------------------- Appendix A. Using patch files. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ If you have an earlier version of Shareware Doom, you can either download the latest version complete or upgrade step by step via the patch files. Which option you choose depends on how large the patch files are, ie. how many upgrade steps you'd have to go through to get your Shareware Doom up to the latest version. If you'd have to use more than two patches, then save yourself the hassle and just download the latest version complete. If you look in the idstuff directory on the Doom ftp sites, you will see a umber of files, most of which are patch files; here is a decription of the various patch files available (this info only applies for pc versions of Doom and Doom II): File Size File name Upgrade Description ^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 118016 doom2p16.zip Doom II from v1.666 to v1.7a. 64444 doom2p17.zip Doom II from v1.7 to v1.7a. 434005 d2_19pat.zip Doom II from v1.7a to v1.9. 152177 d2_18_19.zip Doom II from v1.8 to v1.9. 388592 dm1_2spt.zip Shareware Doom I from v1.1 to v1.2. (****) 650746 dm1666sp.zip Shareware Doom I from v1.2 to v1.666. 531594 dm19spat.zip Shareware Doom I from v1.666 to v1.9. 91165 dms18_19.zip Shareware Doom I from v1.8 to v1.9. 450819 dm1_2rpt.zip Registered Doom I from v1.1 to v1.2. (****) 770394 dm1666rp.zip Registered Doom I from v1.2 to v1.666. 511766 dm19rpat.zip Registered Doom I from v1.666 to v1.9. 90978 dmr18_19.zip Registered Doom I from v1.8 to v1.9. (****) I have a help file regarding these particular patches. If you intend to use either of them, please email me for the help file. There is also a patch file to upgrade from v1.0 to v1.1, but this is no longer readily available (it should still be locatable by archie or gopher though). Note that Australian players wishing to upgrade from v1.1 to v1.2 should email me _first_ for special info. Patch files work by 'patching' the .WAD, .EXE and other files with new data, creating a new version of each. The patching process expects a _clean_ and unmodified version of the game to upgrade. When using a patch, it is best to unzip the patch zip file _outside_ your Doom directory; this is because the new FILE_ID.DIZ can overwrite the old one, which stops the patch from working since it expects to find the old one! This problem is particularly acute with the v1.1 --> v1.2 patch, thus the existence of a special help file I have regarding upgrading from v1.1 to v1.2. Anyway, after unzipping the patch files, move the 'patch*.*' files into your Doom directory and run them (enter 'PATCH'). Each file will be updated in turn. The process can take some time on systems with slow hard drives, so it's best to just leave it running and go make some coffee or something. :) - End of Appendix A.
