- Welcome to WADRunner! This program is designed to manage your
- PWAD files for id Software's game DOOM. You should have the
- WADRUN.EXE program, this WADRUN.DOC file, and a data file called
- WADRUN.DAT. These files should be placed in your DOOM directory,
- and WADRUN should be executed from this directory. While you are
- in the DOOM directory, type WADRUN and hit Enter. WADRunner will
- search for all your .WAD files, and list them on the screen.
- 80 file names will fit on the screen. If you have more than
- 80 PWAD files, you should think seriously about getting some
- professional counseling for your "DOOM obsession problems" <G>.
- WADRunner will NOT touch your DOOM.WAD, or your DOOM1.WAD files.
- What WILL WADRunner do? Good question...
-
- Keystroke Function
-
- A-About Displays an info box with the version number of
- WADRunner, and how to contact the author.
-
- C-Change Allows you to change the Episode and Mission number
- of a PWAD file. Use the arrow keys to change
- the numbers, and hit Enter to keep the changes.
- A warning box asks you to hit Enter again to confirm
- that you really want to write to your PWAD file.
-
- E-Execute Writes a batch file to start DOOM. If no PWAD files
- are marked (See below) then the file where the
- cursor is will be used. If any files are marked
- then WADRunner will use the first nine marked files
- it encounters to construct a batch file. If any
- warping (See below) is active, the batch file will
- include the -DEVPARM and -WARP command parameters.
- The batch file is named W.BAT, so to use it you
- should be at the DOS prompt in your DOOM directory,
- and type "W" followed by the Enter key. Any previous
- W.BAT file will be overwritten, so if you have one
- that you want to keep, rename it to something else.
-
- M-Mark Puts an asterisk by the file name, marking it for
- later use. Hit "M" again to unmark the file name.
- The spacebar will also mark a filename. Use the "U"
- key to mark or unmark ALL the file names.
-
- N-Notes Brings up a 3-line 60-character notepad. Use the
- arrow keys to move around, and type anything you
- want, like the PWAD author, how hard the level is,
- etc. Hit the ESC key to save and quit the notepad.
- (The Enter key also activates the notepad.)
-
- P-Print Prints the PWAD file name, the episode/mission
- of the WAD, and the notes for the WAD. You can
- send the output to the printer or a file, called
- WADINFO.TXT. Or hit ESC to cancel the printout.
-
- R-Random Picks a random PWAD file to load into DOOM. You
- can choose from the shareware DOOM missions, the
- registered version missions, or from your list
- of PWAD files. The skill level is random also.
-
- W-Warp Lets you pick which episode/mission you start
- at when you write a batch file. Use the arrow
- keys to change the numbers. Hit Enter to keep
- the changes, or ESC to abort.
-
-
-
-
-
- Basically, that's all there is to WADRunner. Hit the ESC key
- (or Q, or X) to quit the program. WADRunner does very little
- error checking, so trying to print with no printer attached
- to your computer will lockup the machine, etc. I will accept
- no responsibility for ANYTHING that happens to you, your family,
- or your computer while you are using WADRunner. Likewise, I
- expect no compensation for the use of WADRunner. Give it to
- anybody who wants it, it's released to the public domain.
-
- If you find any bugs (hope not!), or have any questions,
- comments, etc., about WADRunner, send E-Mail to me on
- Compuserve at 72123,1521. I usually visit the GAMERS forum
- (GO GAMERS) every night. (I know, I really should see
- someone about my little "DOOM obsession")
