The Ultimate LinuxDOOM
Version 1.1, 31 July 1995 (final release)
Steffen Winterfeldt (wfeldt@tph100.physik.uni-leipzig.de)
Some weeks ago id Software released a fourth episode to DOOM I, "Thy flesh
consumed". Unfortunately only as a DOS version. If you upgraded your registered
DOOM to The Ultimate DOOM v1.9 there is a way to play the new WAD with
Linux-DOOM v1.8 as well.
All you have to do is to use my Ultimate LinuxDOOM patch.
What you need
=============
To apply this patch you need the version of Linux-DOOM (version 1.8) which is
currently available at id Software's ftp server. I think there exists no other
version anyway.
And, of course, The Ultimate LinuxDOOM patch, currently available at
http://www.physik.uni-leipzig.de/~wfeldt/udoom/udoom-1.1.tar.gz .
What you get
============
After succesfully applying this patch, X-DOOM and SVGA-DOOM will behave very
similar to The Ultimate DOOM. In fact there are no visible differences left.
Except, that
* unlike its DOS counterpart, The Ultimate LinuxDOOM will not crash while
trying to view demo4 when used with doom2.wad
* it can play all LMPs that have a version number >1.3
* you get the par-times at the end of each level, as usual
Installation
============
Put all the files found in "udoom-1.1.tar.gz" and Linux-DOOM (X-DOOM and/or
SVGA-DOOM, named "xdoom" and "sdoom" respectively) in one directory. Look
through the script "patchit" and uncomment the "exit 1" command in line 6. Then
run it. If there were no error messages you have now the patched versions of
LinuxDOOM.
Bugs
====
None (still).
