Introduction
This is a short text file I put together for the purpose of quick access
to codes, addon levels, and LMP demos. There are some other premium
text files and helpful things to make your DOOMing experience more
exciting which are listed below!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Acknowledgements
DOOM is a trademark of id Software, (thanks guys for allowing us to do
so much with a great game!)
The "Official" DOOM FAQ is written by Hank Leukart
All the DOOMers out there that make these awesome levels, sound files,
graphics files, editors, FAQs, Dehacks, Dmadds, LMP's, utilities, etc.
Keep up the great work and THANKS!

Game Palace bbs
Game Palace started on 04/07/94 as a small bbs for users to obtain the
latest patches and upgrades available for PC Games. I personally got
tired of calling long distance to get the latest patch or upgrade and
figured a bbs would help. I have never ran a bbs prior to this and I
just got my first modem in December of 1993. (Yes, I'm a newbie!) <g>
As a DOOM addict, I figured why not cater to this awesome game. There
were alot files out and more coming! I started by adding one file area
for DOOM on the board, but that wasn't enough. I now have 19 file areas
devoted to DOOM and will probably have to add more in the future.
I gained users from all over the U.S., Canada, Japan, Europe, England, etc.
In 2 months! The demand for DOOM had increased so much, I had to delete
alot of other files to make room on my hard drive.
Unfortunately, I only have one computer so I don't get to play as much
as I would like to.
Right now as of this writing, I have well over 1,000 WADS and 230+ megs of
DOOM files online. Since I get so many new DOOM files daily, I created a
"DOOMlist" which contains all the DOOM files on Game Palace bbs. This
is updated nightly! It is called "DOOMLIST.ZIP"
There is also 9 different conferences devoted to DOOM! Use them for help,
reviewing levels, editing levels, modem connections, coolest frags,
DOOM stories, etc., etc.!
Game Palace BBS is the Official distribution site of the following:
Trinity.wad
Test2kil.wad
Hallspro.wad

Command Lines
There are command lines within DOOM that can be used when intially
running the game. For more information on exactly what all of
these lines mean, pick up "The 'Official' DOOM FAQ" by Hank Leukart.
At the DOOM directory type: "DOOM -devparm <parameter>
These can be several followed by eachother for various effects such
as warping, recording a demo, respawning monsters, or taking .PCX
screenshots.
-config <filename> Reads alternate configuration file
-deathmatch Starts NetDoom in Deathmatch mode
-debugfile <parameter> Dumps debugging into debug<parm>.txt
-devparm Developers mode
-episode <episode> Starts on Episode 1,2, or 3
-file <name.wad> Allows usage of PWAD
-left Sets up a network terminal for the "left view"
-loadgame <game number> Starts from save game # 0-5
-net <players> Starts NetDoom with 1-4 players
-noblit Speeds up game on some systems

-warp <episode> <levle> Warp to any Episode and Level
To take a screen shot (.PCX) from DOOM, type: DOOM -devparm
Every time you hit F1, a .pcx will be placed in your DOOM directory
of the shot you took. It should also say "screen shot" in the upper
left hand corner.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PWADS (Addon external levels)
PWADS are external levels made by people with level editors. These
PWADS ("Patch" WADS) are inserted with the command line "-file" and
allow you to play a new level! For complete information on PWADS,
check out "The 'official' DOOM FAQ" by Hank Leukart or "DOOMWAD"
by Steve Huskisson. "DOOMWAD" is available at Game Palace BBS.
Hank's FAQ is available on bbs's all over and on Internet ftp sites.
(See below)
To run a PWAD file, make sure the new level is in your DOOM directory
and from there type:
"DOOM -file <xxxx.wad>"
Where the xxxx is, substitute with the name of the PWAD, and include
the .WAD extension.
An example would be: "DOOM -file cool.wad"
You can combine PWADS in one line.
There are also sound files on PWADS that are ran the same way.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LMP (Demos)
An .lmp file is a recording of a game of DOOM, either single player or
a deathmatch game. You can even make a recording of your favorite
PWAD file. These are fun to sit back and watch, as your friends dueled
on Deathmatch, or if you need to know where secret rooms are!
To record a demo type at the DOOM directory:
DOOM -devparm -record <demo name w/o .lmp>
Do not include the .lmp.
To record your favorite PWAD type at the DOOM directory:
DOOM -file <pwad.wad> -devparm -record <demo name w/o .lmp>
To play back the demo type at the DOOM directory:
DOOM -devparm -playdemo <demo name w/o .lmp>
or
DOOM -file <pwad.wad> -devparm -playdemo <demo name w/o .lmp>
