Obituary, 5/95 by TiC, The Innocent Crew, denis@doomsday.shnet.org
For a short PWAD description read the file README.DOC.
THIS IS VERSION 1.1 OF OBITUARY.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Obituary is distributed as freeware. You are not allowed to change
this package. We (TiC) are not liable for any direct or indirect
damage caused as a result of using this software. Use it at your own
risk.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
[ 1] - Thanks to:
id - for their evil brains and great games
Greg Lewis - for Dehacked 2.3
Steffen Voigt - for reporting A LOT of bugs :)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
[ 2] - Obituary contains the following replacements for Doom II:
* 16 new levels & a bonus level.
Two special external Deathmatch-levels. (Section 3 for details)
* 3 new enemies:
+ Harder Imp (shooting green fireballs, moves faster)
+ Bazooka Man, a rocket-shooting guy - be careful, he's also
called 'Splashing Man'... :-)
+ A very fast semi-invisible hightech guy. Be quick or be dead.
* a lot of new graphics; walls, floors, textures, sprites & weapons
* 3 Demos - recorded with version 1.9 and in NORMAL Obituary.
If you play the demos with the special weapon patch, the players
are doing strange things...
* Optional a special weapon patch containing 4 changes:
+ Kick (for punch)
+ Double-Pistol (for Pistol, right - just like ROTT :-) )
+ THE Sonic P300 Booster, an awesome BFG-replacement
+ and another very 'hot' weapon... :) find out yourself!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
[ 3] - The Deathmatch-PWADs
* Obituary contains two external Deathmatch-levels. They are called
OBDEATH1.WAD and OBDEATH2.WAD. They are designed for speed, there
are no monsters of course.
To run a Obituary Deathmatch-level, don't install Obituary!
-> Run them with a clean Doom II.
They are containing ALL weapons. Look at this:
Skill 1/2 to have: Pistol, Fist, Chainsaw
Skill 3 to have: Pistol, Fist, Chainsaw, Shotgun, Super Shotgun,
Chaingun, Rocket Launcher
Skill 4/5 to have: Pistol, Fist, Chainsaw, Shotgun, Super Shotgun,
Chaingun, Rocket Launcher, Plasma Rifle, BFG
---------------------------------------------------------------------
[ 4] - Installing Obituary
* First of all, install a clean version of Doom II
* Copy ALL files in this package to your Doom II directory
You will need at least 6 MB free disk space to play Obituary!
* Start OBTIC.EXE to install and start Obituary
OBITUARY IS NOT WORKING WITH DOOM - USE ONLY DOOM II
Hit F1 or F2 to install Obituary. Anytime your are in this menu,
you can re-install Obituary. If you want to check out the weapons,
just hit F2 - if you don't like them, just hit F1 to install the
normal add-on.
OBTIC.EXE will change your DOOM2.WAD and DOOM2.EXE file. Don't
panic, you can uninstall everytime, restoring your original Doom II.
If you want to play normal Doom II again - you have to uninstall
Obituary first.
-> If the install process of OBTIC.EXE does NOT work, I included
-> 3 batchfiles to install Obituary. They will pause after
-> every job, if you have problems - let me know which job does
-> not work! More about batchfiles at the end of the file.
-> If you have a few Hell Knights in the first level -
-> THE DEHACKED PATCHES DID NOT WORK.
-> Try to install Obituary with the batchfiles!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
[ 5] - Running Obituary
Before running Obituary, be sure to INSTALL it. See section 4.
The OBTIC.EXE menu lets you start Obituary single player only. Just
hit F5 to play.
-> Btw: Don't use cheat-codes, this will decrease game-play and <-
-> fun a lot. If you can't beat it - try a lower difficulty. <-
-> Otherwise - just TRY to cheat :-) <-
To play Obituary with modem or network, just start OBTIC.EXE with
the parameters for the SERSETUP.EXE or IPXSETUP.EXE. OBTIC will pass
all necessary parameters to these programs. Examples:
For a 3-player network game at ultra-violence:
OBTIC -nodes 3 -skill 4
For a 2 player modem game at ultra-violence:
OBTIC -com2 -skill 4 -answer
(Note that OBTIC.EXE will automatically add the necessary PWADs)
Of course you can call the SERSETUP or IPXSETUP direct (with a menu
tool or something like that) - be sure to have Obituary installed
(start OBTIC.EXE, install it and exit) AND do not forget to add two
PWADs: OBTIC1.WAD and OBTIC2.WAD. DO NOT USE OBTIC3.WAD!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
[ 6] - Problems with Obituary
(1) - OBTIC.EXE is hanging during Install.
Try to press ENTER/RETURN and wait a few seconds. If this
is not running, try to install Obituary yourself.
(See batchfiles at the end of this file.)
(3) - Doom II is not running. It hangs before/during the WAD-init.
You forgot to uninstall Obituary. You tried to run Doom 2
with Obituary installed or with any other PWADs than
OBTIC1.WAD and OBTIC2.WAD.
(4) - Doom II is not running. It hangs during the Doom refresh
daemon init.
You forgot the PWADs. Add the files OBTIC1.WAD & OBTIC2.WAD
when starting Doom II. Don't use OBTIC3.WAD.
(5) - Doom II is not running. It hangs at the Playloop init.
This is a kind of special failure and we could not find
out why this happens. The only way to solve this, is to
uninstall Obituary and to check the files DOOM2.EXE and
DOOM2.WAD, they MUST be in exact original state.
If not, reinstall Doom 2.
If this isn't working, use the Batchfiles to install
Obituary and e-mail me which jobs failed!
--[ Batch files to install Obituary ]--------------------------------
You have full control of what will be changed. Press Return after
every job. E-mail me which jobs are not running!
OBNORM.BAT -> installs normal Obituary.
OBWEAP.BAT -> installs Obituary with the special weapon patch.
OBUNINST.BAT -> uninstalls Obituary. Should work only if you
have installed Obituary before.
