By running DOOM-IT to start your single or multiplayer games, one can take full advantage of command-line-only parameters. These parameters allow you to load PWADs, record games, start at any level, turn on development mode, and much more. This version of DOOM-IT provides complete support for DOOM v1.2, DOOM v1.666, and DOOM 2. ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ INSTRUCTIONS ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ INSTALLATION: To install DOOM-IT, simply unzip all files within DOOMIT.ZIP into any directory on your hard disk. This requires PkUnzip version 2.04 or higher. If you don't already have this program you can download it almost anywhere, including Compuserve. To start the program type DOOMIT at the DOS prompt. NOTE: You must use the DOOMIT batch file for DOOM-IT to work correctly. You CANNOT run DMLOAD.EXE. PRE-CONFIGURATION: Before starting Network, Serial, or Modem games you need to set your PORT and COM settings. You can do this from the menu bar located at the top of the screen. To access this menu press the key and select CONFIG. From this menu you can choose to setup any of the three connection types. More info on each of these is given later on in this document. Before starting any type of game make sure the Path settings are correct. They can be changed by selecting PATH on the menu bar. Different file locations can be specified for DOOM, WAD, and DeHackEd files. NOTE: You must select "DOOM 1" or "DOOM 2" from the main menu before accessing the menu bar. This is done so DOOM and DOOM 2 can have separate settings. ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ NETWORK PORTS ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ When playing a network game you must have a port number chosen. To do this, choose "NETWORK" under CONFIG on the menu bar. By selecting different port numbers you can play more than one match over the same network. The default port number is 0. ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ SERIAL SETUP ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Before setting up a serial game you must specify the COM port that the cable is plugged into. To do this, choose "SERIAL" under CONFIG on the menu bar. Your COM port will either be COM 1 or COM 2. You are also given the option to select a Baud rate. This value will override the settings in your MODEM.CFG file. If you don't want to change this then select "Default". The final option determines whether or not to use UART 8250. This might be necessary if you have an older I/O card. ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ MODEM SETUP ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Before setting up a modem game you must specify the COM port your modem is connected to. To do this, choose "MODEM" under CONFIG on the menu bar. External modems can only use COM 1 or COM 2. Most internal modems can be setup to use COM ports 1 through 4. You are also given the option to select a Baud rate. This value will override the settings in your MODEM.CFG file. If you don't want to change this then select "Default". The final option determines whether or not to use UART 8250. This might be necessary if you have an older I/O card. ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ USING PWADS ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ If you choose to add PWADs then you will be presented with a list containing all WAD files in the specified directory. All files except DOOM.WAD are probably PWADs. These files can contain new levels, graphics, sounds, etc.. You can select up to nine PWADS to load at one time. To do this, highlight each file and press the space bar to mark it. You will then see a "*" next to each file name. Once you have your PWADs marked you can press the enter key to continue. NOTE: If you only need one PWAD loaded then just highlight that file and press enter. If you chose to load a PWAD containing a new level, the program will ask you if you want to warp directly to that level. Doing this will skip the process of choosing an episode or level number. If you have marked more than one PWAD level to load, the program will warp you to the earliest one. DOOM-IT allows you to change the episode and level number of a PWAD. To do this, highlight the desired file and press F1. To scan through a large PWAD list faster, press any key A to Z to jump to the first PWAD beginning with that letter. ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ DEHACKED PATCHES ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ To load a patch file created with the DeHackEd utility, press the letter "P" from the final setup menu. This will list all files with a .DEH extension in the specified directory. I recommend making a default patch file that keeps your original DOOM.EXE settings. This way you can restore you orignal settings whenever needed, by loading that file. To make a patch file called "DEFAULT.DEH" type the following at the DOS prompt: DEHACKED -SAVE DEFAULT.DEH ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ USING DEFAULTS ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ DOOM-IT now allows you to customize five sets of defaults. To edit these settings select "DEFAULTS" under MISC on the menu bar. Choose one of the five available slots and press . You now have the option to give your settings a menu title. Once you have chosen a name press again. You are now presented with a screen showing nearly all of the setup options. Customize the settings and and press a final time. Pressing will return you to the menu bar. To use these defaults press "D" from the main menu. When the list appears, highlight the desired settings and press . The only thing left to do is select a game type and decide whether or not to use PWADs. ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ PHONE BOOK ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ To setup the phone book choose "EDIT" under PBook on the menu bar. After you have done this you are able to pick one of ten slots to modify. Highlight a slot and press . Type the persons name and press again. Now type their phone number and press a final time. That's all there is to it. To exit the phone book editor press . ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ RECORDING GAME ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ If you choose to Record your game you must give the program a file name to save the data into. When giving it a file name use no more than eight characters and leave off the file extension. DOOM will use .LMP as the file extension of your recorded game. For example, if you give DOOM-IT the name "DEMO1" for recording, DOOM will save it as "DEMO1.LMP". If you have DOOM v1.6 or DOOM2 you can record mulitplayer games. You can also specify the amount of diskspace you want DOOM to use for recordings by using the -MAXDEMO parameter. When recording a multiplayer game make sure ALL players choose the record option for it to work correctly. Recording of your game begins right when you start DOOM. To end the recording press "Q", or exit the game. Once you have recorded your demo you can it play it back within DOOM-IT by selecting "PLAY DEMO" under MISC on the menu bar. NOTE: If you record a demo from a PWAD, you must load that same PWAD along with DOOM for your demo to play back correctly. Also, DOOM-IT no longer allows you to record a game from a saved game. This feature was removed in DOOM v1.666. ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ MOUSE SUPPORT ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ You asked for it, so here it is! Just point and click. Button one does the same thing as pressing , and button two does the same thing as pressing . The only exception to this is when your choosing PWADs or making menu selections on certain menus. In this case it does the same thing as pressing . ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ ID SETUP ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ If needed, you can run the SETUP.EXE program that comes with DOOM or DOOM 2, within DOOM-IT. To do this, choose "ID SETUP" under MISC on the menu bar. This option is given just in case you need to change your hardware configuration at the last minute. DO NOT start DOOM when running ID's setup program within DOOM-IT. ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ RESPONSE FILE ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ A great feature in DOOM v1.6 and DOOM 2 is the ability to use a response file. A response file is an alternate way to pass parameters to DOOM. Instead of passing DOOM the parameters on the command line, they can be written to a file instead. This is extremely helpful when passing more parameters to DOOM than will fit on the command line. ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ CUSTOM PARAMETERS ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ DOOM-IT allows you to define you own parameters. This might be necessary if you have an alternative SERSETUP or IPXSETUP file that can accept non-standard parameters, or, if you want to use parameters not addressed by DOOM-IT. To define these you need to select "ADD PARAM" under MISC on the menu bar. You can type up to about fifty characters of your own text. These parameters will always be added to the settings you chose when starting a game. ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ OTHER PARAMETERS ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ There are other parameters DOOM accepts that I felt were not necessary to directly address in DOOM-IT. I have listed as many as I can below. If you wish to use any of these, you may add them to the custom parameter list. Ver. Parameter Description ÄÄÄÄ ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ 1.2 -nosound Plays no sound effects or music during DOOM. 1.2 -nosfx Plays no sound effects during DOOM. 1.2 -nomusic Plays no music during DOOM. 1.2 -config Specifies an alternate config file. 1.2 -devparm Is needed to allow certain parameters. With devparm enabled you can press F1 during the game to save the screen as a PCX file. 1.2 -recordfrom <#> This is only availavble in DOOM v1.2. It allows you to record a game from a saved game. (example -recordfrom 1 demoz) 1.6 -maxdemo (size) Tells DOOM the max amount of diskspace to use for demos. For example: "-maxdemo 1024" sets aside 1 Megabyte. Default is 128K. 1.6 -irq Sets the IRQ for a COM port. 1.6 -port Sets the COM I/O port that SERSETUP uses for your modem. (example -port 0x3f8) NOTE: A better description for many of these parameters can be found in the README file that comes with DOOM or DOOM 2. ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ CHEAT KEYS ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Here are some of the most useful cheat keys for DOOM and DOOM 2. Type these key combinations within the game. Keys Description ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ IDKFA Gives player all weapons, ammo, and keys. IDFA Gives player all weapons and ammo. DOOM 2 only. IDCLEV Followed by an episode and level number, this key combination will warp you anywhere in the game. For example, IDCLEV32 will warp you to episode 3 level 2. In DOOM 2 only a level number is needed. IDDQD Turns on God mode. You will be invulnerable. IDDT Press this combination while viewing the map, it will let you see everything. IDSPISPOPD Use this combination in DOOM to turn off clipping mode. You will be able to walk through walls. IDCLIP Turns off clipping mode in DOOM 2. ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ WHY SHAREWARE? ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ DOOM-IT has come a long way since its first release around five months ago. I originally wrote it for my own personal use, but now it's a complete setup program with as many of your recommended features included as possible. I have listened to all of your requests and done my best to satisfy them. This is why I continued to make four more versions of DOOM-IT and release them as Freeware. I have given you 100+ hours of my time. All I ask from you is a very small compensation of five dollars for my efforts. You are given a 21 day trial period to test out DOOM-IT. If you find it useful and continue to use it, you need to register. Thanks. ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ IF YOUR BORED!
