Welcome to JCM's 9 new levels for DOOM (registered)!
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Requirements: 1. DOOM (registered)
2. A PC that will run DOOM.
(Tested on a 486DLC-40 /8Mb RAM/ MIDI+Sound Blaster)
What it is: JCM1.WAD is an EXTERNAL WAD file known as a "Patch WAD".
This will in no way alter your original DOOM game!
JCM.BAT starts DOOM with the command line parameter
"-file JCM1.WAD". DOOM will use data in the add-on WAD
instead of (in addition to) the original data in the
factory-supplied DOOM.WAD
Usage: This add-on episode is easy to use - just move JCM1.WAD
and JCM.BAT into your DOOM directory and type: JCM
<RETURN> to start doom. When started with JCM.BAT, the
nine original levels of "Knee Deep in the Dead" will
be replaced with 9 new ones!
Step by Step: Move JCM1.WAD and JCM.BAT into your DOOM directory.
Type JCM and press RETURN.
DOOM will display a notice that the game has been modified.
Press ENTER to continue loading.
At the DOOM main menu, select NEW GAME.
At the episode menu select Knee Deep in the Dead.
Select any difficulty level you like (ULTRA VIOLENCE!)
...enjoy nine new levels of DOOM!
Demos: This add-on WAD comes complete with 3 demos, just like
the original. Just load the add-on as described above.
When you reach the DOOM intro screen, don't press
any keys - DOOM will automatically run thru the 3
replacement demo sequences. These 3 demos also show
you the solutions to these levels 1,4 and 3, in that
order).
More Demos: Complete add-on demos for the remaining 6 levels
(2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) are also available: Look for
DOOM-J1D.ZIP where you found this file.

Game Notes
This Patch Wad supplies DOOM with 9 new replacement levels for
episode 1, built completely from scratch using DEU 5.1 (see
credits below) Time to complete this patch: 80+ hours. There are
some bugs that just couldn't be gotten-rid of.. these are
described below...
The DOOM engine has some quirks to it - I had some problems with
pieces of walls flashing in and out, particularly in level 9,
where doorways go into walls that are really tall. It also
happens in a couple of places in level 2, when you are at the
bottom of the red pit. You are BOUND to find bugs that I have not
uncovered... but I have played each level thru a number of times
and have corrected all the bugs I could find.
The previous release of JCM1.WAD was missing the deathmatch
and player 2,3, and 4 start things... Sorry about that! .. This
new release will allow 4 players and deathmatch in ALL levels
so you can play the entire episode over the modem or net without
reloading. I've tested this on the modem - no problems. The net
support should also be fine.
As of this DOC, a few of the levels in JCM1.WAD have difficulty
settings less than "ULTRA VIOLENCE" - Be sure and set "ULTRA
VIOLENCE" at the main menu to make sure you get all the monsters.
Nobody plays the easy settings anyways, do they?
For you beginner doomies - sorry, no time to add easy settings
- I wanted to get this WAD out THIS year! If you really need
help, use IDDQD (god mode) or IDKFA (very happy ammo) to get
things to go your way. (P.S. these cheats DON'T work in
multiplayer modes!)
If you're the hero type, start each level using IDCLEV and
don't use the cheats. Once you're in the game, try starting a
level by typing:
IDCLEV 1 M (where M = the mission number 1 thru 9)
(don't include the spaces)
Every level in JCM1.WAD can be completed WITHOUT CHEATING, even
if you start with just the pistol!
Some hidden walls can be a real mudpig to find... keep umphing
the walls in logical places and you'll uncover them.
Get yourself a copy of the DOOM FAQ from a BBS near you to read
about all the cool things you can do with DOOM.

Level descriptions:
-=1=-
Just your basic level - nothing fancy. Watch your automap
for clues to the hidden places. You should be able to
find most of the weapons in this one, and a decent supply
of ammo to take to level 2. Demo sequence 1, which runs
automatically at startup if you don't press any keys,
shows you how to get thru this level.
-=2=-
A little larger level - this one has some unique features
that make it a little more difficult to uncover the
secret areas.. HINT: It's a leap of faith! Check for
walls that you can walk thru too! The arrow points the
way out.
-=3=-
Battle the bosses! I've supplied you with plenty of
firepower in this one - and you're gonna need it! Stock
up on energy cells to do battle with ol' Rocket- fist.
You can hide out in the supply room, and stock up on
goodies there too. There's lotsa Barons and sargeants,
plus a spider boss to blast. This level also has two ways
out - select the right way to play the secret level (9) -
The Roach Motel! Demo sequence 3 shows you thru this one.
-=4=-
This is a fun one... find the switches to lower the covers
around the 4 columns in the center room. 3 of these raise
the floor in the southeast room, where the switch to the
quad teleporter room is. The 4th switch unleashes a few
demons and spectors for you to blast. (I won't tell you
which is which!) Plenty of fluff-balls and a couple of
barons are waiting down in the slime-pit. You'll know it
when you find it. Check your automap for the way out if
you are having trouble finding it... Remember-(non-secret)
doors appear as yellow. Demo sequence 2 is your guided tour.
-=5=-
Happy Face! This level features lots of one-way
teleporters. Make sure you clean out a room before heading
to the next - the only way to go back is to go all the way
around again! Each of the letters has a hidden passage
leading to it - some are more obvious than others... keep
at it and you'll find tham all. When you're all done with
this one, the map will show you a smiling happy monsterface
(well, as happy as monsters get, anyway).
-=6=-
The chair! You don't sit in it. Try to think of another use.
Hop the wall and find an interesting 4 level lift. Lots to
shoot at down there. Look for hidden rooms. They'll have
stuff you need. Beware of the triangle room! One shot is
all it takes, and you're trapped. See if you can walk the
ledge and get a nice surprise.
-=7=-
Dualing spiders. Just get these guys pissed at each other,
and they'll do your work for you! Get 'em in a cross fire.
Not much special about this one. The big rooms are a great
places to run circles around the enemy. - barons and
fluffballs love to fight each other.
-=8=-
The final JCM level (for now...) You know what to do.. KILL!
-=9=-
The Roach Motel. This is one place you don't want to check into
until you've sprayed the outside (with lead and plasma!). If
you chose the right way out of level 3, you'll end up here.
There's some bugs in this one that I just COULN'T get rid of.
Mostly, the DOOM engine has some trouble with walls that are
very tall. You'll notice some textures appear and flash when
you walk into a passageway thru a tall wall. Try to ignore it.
Also, if you wake up a lot of monsters and don't kill 'em off,
DOOM will slow down quite a bit, since it has to supply
animation to every monster that's not either inactive or dead!
