THE DOOM PAGE
Here are four new Doom WADS for this month. As always, just copy these
files into your Doom directory.
All of these files can be found off of the \DOOM directory on our CD.
Here are the descriptions for each WAD in the WAD creator's own words.
ETBASE.WAD - You've just entered the base. It's going to be long and hard
to complete your mission. Finish the brains of the organization. You don't
know how long it will take, but you'll sure wreak havoc on your way through.
GOGOMA.WAD - THE STORY: So you got fired last month. The Employment
Commission turned down your claim. Your ex-boss is telling everyone in the
industry that you're an impossible employee. You'll never get hired.
You drink yourself into oblivion and wake up outside your old place
of employment. My God! What did you do while you were drunk this
time? You've got a couple policemen as hostages and the street is filled
with heavily armed officers bent on your destruction. They open fire, you
turn towards the street and return fire with your Glock 19. You grab a
shotgun from a dead cop and look up to see a SWAT team moving towards
you.
Your hostages are shooting at you too! What a lousy day! What a
lousy year! But you'll get your boss yet! Mowing down the police
with your shotgun, you grab one of their MAC 10's and head across
the street where you know some of your ex-coworkers always grab lunch.
The massacre has begun. . .
DM2HR.WAD - Prepare for your worst nightmare, it has been mine for the
last 6 weeks. I have played this wad through repeatedly and I can get
through it so can my beta tester Greg, so save often.
DM2SDR.WAD - This wad was designed for a DeathMatch level. The level had
been tested before an EXIT was added.
A few folks have written and asked "once we copy them into our Doom
directory, how do you load 'em?". Well, this can be pretty arbitrary
depending what each WAD's author created. There's always a TXT file
for you to read, and some even include a batch file for loading
the WAD. If you're left clueless, the standard procedure is to type:
doomx -file wadname.wad
where doomx = your Doom executable command, either DOOM or DOOM2
where -file = would appear just as it is
where wadname.wad = is the name of the WAD file you wish to load
i.e. If the game is Doom 2 and the WAD name
is SPIDER4.WAD, you'd type:
DOOM2 -FILE SPIDERS4.WAD.
This doesn't always work, they're just general guidelines. As with all
WADS, updates, add-ons or patches make sure your original files are
backed up. ^BPC Gamer^b will not accept any responsibility for problems
caused by these files.
