- └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
- Copy the RunDOOM files into your DOOM2 directory.
- The files you should copy are:
- RDM2.EXE and
- RDM2.DOC
-
- Change to the directory that contains DOOM 2 and the RunDOOM
- files.
-
- Startup RunDOOM by typing RDM2 and pressing ENTER at the
- DOS command prompt.
-
- CD\DOOM2 <ENTER>
- RDM2 <ENTER>
-
- RunDOOM has one optional command line parameter; -sername.
- Use this parameter to tell RunDOOM the name of your modem/network
- setup for DOOM 2.
-
- RDM2 -SERSETUP.EXE <ENTER>
- RDM2 -IPXSETUP.EXE <ENTER>
-
- If you are using a program other than SERSETUP.EXE for two
- player games, you will need to use this parameter to specify
- the name of the program that you will be using. This
- parameter defaults to SERSETUP.EXE if not specified. (*see
- Files, Network Support)
-
- On startup, RunDOOM will check for the existence of:
- DOOM2.EXE
- DOOM2.WAD
- SERSETUP.EXE (or the program specified with the [-sername]
- switch)
-
- (if one or more of these checks fail, RunDOOM will exit to DOS)
-
-
- RunDOOM will also check for these file:
- *.WAD (misc. PWAD files)
- DOOMSAV?.DSG (saved games)
-
-
- Once the RunDOOM screen appears, you can begin setting up
- your DOOM 2 session. Use the key that corresponds to the
- highlighted letter to select an option. (if you have a mouse
- you may also use the mouse to select options)
-
- Special Notes:
- Deathmatch 2.0 is simular to normal Deathmatch, only items
- respawn after a few seconds. Plus, a suicide will count
- one FRAG against you.
-
- The FAST selection is only available with monsters or
- respawning monsters. This makes the monsters up to 3
- times faster, shooting and walking.
-
- Random Mode 1 can be used for single or multi-player
- games. This option warps you to a random level.
-
- Random Mode 2 is simular to Random Mode 1 except, when
- in two player mode, the timer is also given a random
- value.
-
- The TIMER option is only available in any of the two
- player deathmatch modes. This option will exit the
- current level after xx minutes. Valid options are:
- 0 = disable, 1-99.
-
- The TURBO option makes your character move faster.
- Valid options are:
- 0 = disable, 1-250. 100 is normal speed.

- │ 3. Network Support │
- └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
- There is NO built-in network support for DOOM 2; however,
- you can 'fool' the program into running a network game
- using this method:
-
- 1. Edit the RDM2.PRM file and insert parameters that you
- wished passed to IPXSETUP.
-
- 2. Pass -IPXSETUP.EXE to RDM2 on the command line:
-
- RDM2 -ipxsetup.exe
-
- This will tell RunDOOM to use IPXSETUP.EXE (instead of
- SERSETUP.EXE) when runing a two player game.
-
- 3. Set the Modem command in RunDOOM to "ALREADY CONNECTED".
-
- 4. Run a two player game as you normally would.
