yr+ -

    ZOOM in or out (change the picture size) for
    BPicture and BView.

    Increase/Decrease size in Rotate/Scale B< and >.

yxB[uild] B<wadfile>

p   yRegistered only

    Build a new main WAD file (all umpteen megabytes)
y   replacing levels with any PWAD you have bRead.

yxDir B[drive:][path][filename]

p   yRegistered only

    List any DOS directory

    The default drive:\path\filename is the directory
    set by the bpatch option + b*.WAD.

    If you do not have a bpatch entry, your current
    directory is listed.

    You can temporarily override the bpatch path
    path and view the files in any directory by
    entering the complete path:

    Example:

    bDIR C:\MYDIR\somewad.wad  (.wad optional)
    bDIR C:\MYDIR\ (for now the ending \ is req'd)

    The search syntax is similar to the DOS DIR
    command with defaults especially suited for WAD
    file names. The file name portion can contain
    wildcard match characters (? and *). If no suffix
    is entered, *.WAD is automatically appended to
    the name.

yxDirA B[dirname] [outfile]

    List all Master and Patch WAD directories.

yxDirM B[dirname] [outfile]

    List Master directory wadfile only

yxDirW B[dirname] [outfile wadnumber]

    List wadfile directory.

yxDumpM B<dirname> [outfile]

    Dump Master directory entry in hex

yxDumpW B<dirname> [outfile wadnumber]

    Dump a Wad directory entry in hex

yxE[dit] B[episode/mission level]

    Edit a game level saving results to a patch wad
    file. You may enter the level ahead of time and
    bypass the selection screen.
G   Example: bE 1.

p   The yShareware version always displays the
    about screen, but it will accept a level that is
    entered ahead of time.

p   The yLITE version displays an introduction
    screen one-time only and accepts keying ahead.


yxG[roup] B<WadFile>

p   yRegistered only

    Group all patch wads together in one file. When
    you BRead in more than one PWAD file, you can
    combine them into one big PWAD. This way you can
    combine all your favorite levels into 1 file that
    contains all of them.

    Example : You have created 3 levels called
    SLIDE11.WAD, STORM12.WAD and GLORY13.WAD some
    time in the past (ok, you spent the last 4 week-
    ends making them).

    1. BR SLIDE11.WAD
    2. BR STORM12.WAD
    3. BR GLORY13.WAD
    4. BG MIXEDBAG.WAD  <- group them  (you're done)

    To replace levels in a Bgrouped PWAD with
    different (new) levels:

    1. Read the grouped PWAD (the levels it contains
       are shown).
    2. Read in another PWAD with the level you want
       to replace. (If the PWAD does not have the
       correct level number yet, read it in first
       and then SaveAs choosing the level you want.)
    3. Group the PWAD again choosing a different name
       than what you started with (otherwise you
       would destroy the very file you are copying
       from).

    To edit levels in a Bgrouped PWAD :

    1. Edit the level you want to change.
    2. Save using the same name as before and copy
       ALL the data when prompted.

    You can also edit and save each one changed as
    individual files (the way you created them to
    start with). The same original name can be used.
    This also lets you reassign the level identi-
    fication, for example, from MAP03 to MAP11.

    Example : Assume you read MIXEDBAG.WAD and
    change SLIDE11.MAP  (level = MAP11).

    1. BE 11 make the changes desired.
    2. Save the level as SLIDE11.WAD (any name you
       like of course).
    3. BG MIXEDBAG.WAD and now you're done!

    Group reads the information in the files, not
    what's in memory. That's why you have to save
    them again (not a bad idea if you changed the
    levels to keep from getting confused, we do).

    All levels that do not belong to the Master WAD
    file are written to the bwadfile selected.

y   For the best backup bSave modified level(s)
    with their own names before you group all the
    levels!.


yxH[elp] Help for setting DeeP options

yxI[nsert] B<RawFile> <DirName>

    Insert a raw file in a patch wad file (advanced).

    Copies the data in RawFile and makes it into
    a PWAD file named bDirEntry.WAD containing
    the directory entry name and RawFile data.

    bRawFile is any existing file with data in a
    format usable by DOOM/HERETIC.

    The resulting name cannot be the same name as any
    PWAD you have read already.

    bDirName represents a directory entry name. If
    you intend to replace a directory entry with this
    file, choose an existing directory name.

    This is useful only if RawFile is in the correct
    format for use by DOOM. You can then read this
    file in as a replacement for DirEntry.

yxN[ew] B[episode/mission level]

    Create and edit a New (empty) level. Same as New
    under File in Edit mode.

yxP[icture] B[Picname]

    Display any Picture in the DOOM file.
    (See +/- above).

yxQ[uit]

yxR[ead] B<wadfile>

    Read a new wad patch file. The default directory
    is set by the "patch" option. If not set, the
    default follows DOS rules (usually where you
    started DeeP).

    The level edited is automatically set to the
    first one found.

p   yRegistered only

    The level may contain only sound, sprite or
    texture modications. These can be saved with any
    level with the bGroup command.

    Up to 32 PWADs may contain levels and 10 more
    for additional sound/texture/sprite modifica-
    tions. If you do not use the 32 levels for Maps,
    then the rest can be used for more sound/
    textures/etc.

y   The characters b.WAD are automatically
y   appended if no b. is found.

yxS[ave] B<DirName> <WadFile> [newDirName]

    Save one object to a separate file (advanced).

    Copies the data in the object DirName and makes
    it into a PWAD file named bWadFile.WAD con-
    taining the object's name and data.

    WadFile now contains the object in the format for
    use by DOOM or DeeP. You can then read this
    file in as a replacement for DirEntry.

    bDirName represents a directory entry name.
    This name has to represent an existing directory
    entry in any of the WAD files you have read.

    bWadFile is any valid file name and will be
    overwritten if it exists.

    You cannot use the same name as any PWAD you
    have read already.

    bnewDirName is an optional new name to give
    the directory entry. This is a quick way to
    export data from one WAD to another. So you
    can "borrow" textures between different versions
    by renaming the texture patchname from a name
    that doesn't exist in one to a name that does
    exist in the other.

    You use this as follows:

    a. In the File Menu Reset all the Levels.
    b. Read in some PWAD you want to use replacement
       textures in.
    c. You read in all the textures you borrowed
       using the PWAD file names you gave them (as
       described above).

    If you have lots of textures, you will exceed
    the file limit of 42. The solution is to read
    in 42 textures at a time and then group them.
    Then you use only 1 file for all 42. You can
    repeat this process again and now have 84
    textures in a file, etc.

    You can add exactly as many entries as there
    are entries to start with. In other words, you
    can double the size.

    You can do as many replacements as there are
    entries (of course).

    Heretic has a different color palette, so the
    colors will not display correctly, although
    you can swap textures as described.


yxV[iew] B[SpriteName]

    Display all the sprites (see +/- above).

yxW[ads]

y   Display open wads( shows the bwadnumber )

yxX[tract] B<DirEntry> <RawFile>

    Save (extract) one object to a raw file. This
    is similar to bSave but no extra PWAD or
    directory data is added.

    The ending Name cannot be b.WAD!. DeeP defaults
    to b.RAW and automatically changes .WAD to
    .RAW.


b   y
B   y            Note/Definitions
b   y


yrdirname

 The names in the WAD file are in a "directory". Each
 level is assigned a name, for example, E1M1 is the
 first level in DOOM and MAP01 is the first level
 in DOOM II. Pictures, sound, and level entries are
 more examples of directory entry names.

 The dirname when listing directories can have b* and
 b? characters similar to the DOS DIR command.

 Examples:
 gDIRA MAP1*, lists all entries starting with MAP1
 and the rest doesn't matter.

 gDIRA E1?3, lists all entries starting with E1,
 the 3rd position doesn't matter and the fourth
 location must be a 3.


yrOutfile

 Directs output to the devices of your choice. The
 default (or *) is the screen. For example, PRN,
 represents output to the printer attached to the
 parallel port. Similarly, if you enter MYFILE.DAT,
 the file MYFILE.DAT is created.

yrwadnumber

 The number (not name) of the PWAD file. The first
 one read is 1, the 2nd 2, ...you get the idea. It
 is possible that the numbers will change if you
 replace the same level with different PWADS.

 Use the Wad command to see the numbers assigned.

 Enter b* for outfile to keep output on the screen
 and then enter the bwadnumber.

 Example: gDIRW * * 2 lists all entries in the
 2nd PWAD file.

 For repetitive commands to the same wadnumber,
 you do not have to enter the wadnumber again.

 Example: gDIRW MAP* , lists all entries in the
 second PWAD file, if the prior example was first.


p    y
p    y           WAD file description
p    y


 DOOM store its information about each of the levels
yin rWAD files. DeeP edits these files.

 There are two types of WAD files.

y                 rIWAD File

 The main file, DOOMx.WAD, contains all the infor-
 mation about the graphics, sound, level maps, etc.
 for the game. This file is an bIWAD file. There
 is one IWAD file called DOOM.WAD or DOOM2.WAD. For
 HERETIC the name is HERETICx.WAD.

 It is in the current directory when DOOM is run.

y                 rPWAD File

 DOOM supports additional files that bpatch the
 IWAD file, hence PWAD. It contains updates for the
 IWAD file.

 PWAD files created by DeeP contain an updated map
 of a game level. PWAD files can be called anything,
 but it's nice to call them bsomelvl.WAD where
 somelvl is any name you like.

 DOOM must be told to load a PWAD file. The -FILE
 parameter does this. It is added after you type
yDOOM. Example : bDOOM -file myown.wad.


p   y        What makes up a Level


 The best way to learn the details that follow is to
 play a level, see what happens and then examine the
 level with DeeP. Start with the first level and
 work your way up.

 There's a lot of information, but each step is
 pretty simple. Learn from other levels the "tricks"
 used to get those spectacular scenes.

 Print the file TUTOR.DOC and load file TUTOR.WAD to
 learn the basics of WAD files and how to make them
 using DeeP.

pyIf you want to make a quick level just to see what
py this is all about, select Help from the top menu
py          bar and select Quick Start.

 It helps to use the Grid when designing a level. The
 Grid makes it easy to align everything and maintains
 the sizes that work best for wall and ceiling
 textures (explained later). A grid size of 8 is
 recommended for most work. Use a larger grid when
 making beginning large areas.

 A level is created from smaller components, much
 like a house is built from 2x4's, nails and siding.
 Here's the names of the parts you will be using.

 The five components are Vertices, LineDefs,
 SideDefs, Sectors and Things.

y                 rVertices

 Vertices are x,y coordinates on a map. DOOM maps are
 2 dimensional. The height comes from Sectors, as you
 will see soon.

 Vertices are used as the starting and ending points
 of LineDefs (next). These are the bdots on the map
 in Vertex mode. Vertexes are usually NOT created by
 themselves (as in DEU), but rather are created
 automatically when you draw lines.

 To design/shape areas after they are made you drag
 the vertex points (using the right mouse button)
 to any location. This is the most flexible. Other
 methods can drag/shape LineDefs and Sectors (read
 on for those).

                  bDoom Units

 A bDoom Unit is the name we give the coordinates
 numbers and the distance between two vertices. Just
 a made up name, but everyone asks "what do those
 numbers mean?"


y                 rLineDefs

 LineDefs "glue" two vertexes together.

 LineDefs are the lines in the map. These lines
 define the borders of a Sector or the location of a
 trigger that you walk across.

 Bear with me a bit on Sectors. For now think of a
 Sector as the room or area where you are fighting
 for your life. A more precise definition about
 Sectors is later, so keep on going and come back
 and review this area again. I think it will be
 clearer the 2nd time (if you didn't get stuffed
 by the monsters).

 Each LineDef has a starting vertex and ending
 vertex. This is similar to putting two dots on a
 piece of paper and connecting them to draw a line.

 These lines end up being walls you see in the game.
 The walls have at least one side and to be seen,
 require a texture graphic.

 Transparent LineDefs do not need any texture, since
 they are invisible. A common use is for a btrigger
 activated when you walk across the LineDef. When you
 walk across the LineDef, it behaves like a tripwire.
 A transparent LineDefs has a texture of b-, which
 is none.

 A btrigger causes the Sector assigned to it to move
 up or down according to the type of LineDef. These
 cause the special effects as you blunder into
 things. (See Sector and LineDef tags below.)

 It may help to stop here and edit a level, mess
 around with the different modes and see all the
 possibilities. The first level is suggested, since
 it doesn't have as many things going on and is easy
 to test since it's the first level.

 If the wall can be viewed from both sides we need to
 describe the second side also (for example, a room
 within another room that you can walk around and
 enter through a door).

 These sides are called rSideDefs. The first side
 is called SideDef1 and the second SideDef2 (isn't
 this amazing).

 The SideDef1 side of the LineDef is the side with
 the line sticking out of it in LineDef edit mode.


b       y All LineDefs go the same Direction
b       y       (Most of the time)

 The line sticking out from the side, should be the
 same for all 1-sided LineDefs. Normally the arrows
 point in the clockwise direction for rooms and the
 opposite for an object in a room (see stair help).

 LineDefs with two sides may go in either direction
 and be mixed in direction. If you have textures
 that like to "follow" you, try flipping the LineDef
 (do not flip the SideDefs!).


y                 rSideDefs

 SideDefs "glue" LineDefs to Sectors.

 A LineDef must have at least one SideDef. The
 SideDefs define the wall textures (the way the wall
 looks) and the floor/ceiling textures and heights
 via a Sector reference number.

 When ALL the SideDefs (of LineDefs) form an enclosed
 area and share the same Sector reference number, we
 see a Sector. If other areas use the same Sector
 number reference (which is perfectly fine), they all
 light up in Sector Edit mode too.

 SideDefs also "glue" to all the textures.

 There are three possible texture locations for a
 SideDef: bupper, normal and lower, representing
 what you see above, straight ahead and below your
 field of view. The upper and lower textures are
 used when the floor and ceiling vary in height
 between different Sectors/rooms.

ayUpper Texture : Texture you can see above the
 ceiling of a Sector.

ayNormal Texture: Texture you see between the ceiling
 and floor of a Sector.

ayLower Texture : Texture you can see below the floor
 of a Sector.

 If everything was the same height, you would only
 need normal (a boring level, yes?)


y                 rSectors

 Sectors "glue" Ceiling and Floor Textures together and
 define a bottom (floor) and top (ceiling).

 A Sector appears visually on the map when 3 or more
 LineDefs connect together to form an enclosed area.

 A Sector appears similar to a room or an area within
 a room but is by itself not the area.

 Sectors determine the ceiling and floor height and
 the ceiling and floor textures (the last part to get
 the 3D look of a level).

 A Sector adds the depth to the LineDef/SideDef
 connections. A Sector can be shared by many LineDefs
 that form independent areas, lending the same
 floor/ceiling heights and textures to those areas.

 So don't think of a Sector as being the actual room
 (sorry about their choice of words) since it can
 describe many rooms and areas. When you see more
 than one area "light" up in Sector edit mode, it
 signifies the same sector is used to describe the
 highlighted LineDefs.

 Sharing Sectors is a good way to speed up the game
 by limiting the work required by DOOM to calculate
 where you are (going).

 Special Sector information (damage/secret?) is also
 available.

 Sectors are the only structure that move UP/DOWN in
 DOOM. Lifts, Staircases, Doors, are all specially
 defined Sectors. If you recall, the SideDefs connect
 all the LineDefs together to the same sector. So the
 area described by the LineDefs/SideDefs is the area
 that will move.

 The LineDef+SideDefs look at the Sector types you
 used and acquire the property you assigned. So if
 it's Damage, all the LineDefs with that Sector
 assigned have health damage. If it says to move up,
 they all move up, even areas that are not where you
 are!! (If they have the same Sector.)

 In HERETIC there are even more things you can do.
 The floor can scroll, you can have a nice breeze
 blowing (throws off the aim of shots) and to top

y                 rThings

 Things are the objects that lend the final touch to
 a level.

 Weapons, enemies, ammo, keys and decorations are
 visible Things. The places where players start the
 game and Teleport landings are also called things.

 You can display a picture of the ALL the things on
 the Map by pressing T again after you are in Thing
 edit mode (you get there by pressing T or selecting
 from a menu).

 The display can be interrupted at any time by pres-
 sing any key. This is slow for now, but will be
 improved with the DPMI version.


p   y            HOM errors


 Hall of Mirror errors are what you get when some-
 thing is messed up in your level. It looks like
 you're replicated a zillion times and the world
 won't stop turning.

 We didn't invent this cute name. Matt Fell, the
 author of the unofficial DOOM specs mentions it.
 (Review his document for technical information.)

 Here are some common causes for HOM:

 1.  You forgot a texture (easy to fix)
 2.  Transparent Wall, 2-sided wall using a texture
     with more than 1 patch. Also called 'Medusa
     Effect' - Looks like snakes and turns you to
     stone.
 3.  'Tutti Frutti', an attempt to display part of
     a Texture not covered by a texture Patch. Weird
     sparkles (typically pinks and greens, thus
     'Tutti Frutti'). Caused by new textures.
 4.  A LineDef is shared by 2 sectors, but the
     2-sided flag is not set (F10 menu will fix).
 5.  A LineDef/Sector is sticking its nose across
     another LineDef/Sector (move it back).
 6.  Too many 2-sided LineDefs are visible from any
     point (fixed in 1.666 and DOOM II 1.7).
 7.  The Sector heights are messed up.
 8.  A node building error (rearrange the area).
 9.  You didn't (re)build the Nodes?.
 10. DOOM has an error (especially DOOM, see stairs).


p   y       Sector and LineDef tags

 A bTag number is a number that is used to connect
 LineDefs and Sectors. For example, if you have a
 switch that you want to use to operate a door, how
 will Doom know what door to operate? Answer, you
 give the LineDef with the switch a number and give
 the door Sector the SAME number.

 These numbers are called bTags. Tag numbers have
 nothing to do with anything else.

 The tag in a LineDef is called a Sector Tag (it
 refers to a Sector with the same tag) and the tag in
 a Sector is called a LineDef tag.

 The number must not be in use yet. So the first
 available number (on a new level) is 1, the next 2,
 3, and so on. You can skip around if you like. The
 menus automatically show you a free number with the
 ( ). In other words, that number is not used any-
 where.

 Once you give the LineDef this tag number (Sector
 Tag), go to the Sector with the Door (or anything
 that works with "tags", and give it the same Tag
 number (LineDef Tag). This connects the LineDef to
 the Sector.

 Use the Search for LineDef/Sector tag to locate a
 tag number if you forgot where you used it.

 In LineDef mode, a LineDef with a tag shows the tag
 number and the Sector number it is connected to in-
 between the (). The Sector also lights up in Red.

 In Sector mode, a Sector with a tag shows the tag
 number and the LineDef number it is connected to
 inbetween the (). The LineDef also lights up in Red.



p   y            Object Colors

 When an object is selected (by Left clicking) it
 will change color and the object select count
 (upper right top line) is increased by one. Refer
 to this to keep track of your work.

 Things with the same color are all the same type.

 LineDefs of different colors signify tags or
 possible texture problems. Look at the information
 displayed on the bottom texture boxes to tell.

 Press F1 help in the Mouse/Line Color option menu
 for detailed color information.

 All the same Sectors will turn Yellow, so you can
 readily spot where they are used. Red indicates an
 Tagged Sector/LineDef relation or an error in the
 SideDef where it appears.

a            w   Map Scroll Limits

  The maximum scroll in any direction is slightly
  less than the "edge" of the map in that direction.
  This "brick" wall prevents the map from flying off
  your screen.

  If you are making a very large area, reduce the
  zoom or extend the area after you make it as large
  as you can. The new area automatically extends the
  scroll limits, so you can make it bigger again.

  The maximum bDoom Unit X / Y size is about
  8000 x 8000. This is pretty large! It might be
  somewhat larger, but 16k x 16k does not work.

  If you scroll to the edge and magnify with Auto
  Center turned off, you may loose sight of the map!

      were not saved. Cancel if you want to save your
      changes.

   2. Exit any submenu. If any item was selected, it
      is saved. You can also click the right mouse
      button to exit.

   3. Cancel any current active drag or copy object.

      The objects are returned to the starting
      locations. Copied objects still exist, and are
      behind the current objects shown. Be sure to
      either move or delete them.

      All the objects selected are still active. You
      can restart dragging by clicking the Right
      mouse button again. Press bC to clear the
      object selection. Be careful you don't lose

   4. Cancel any current active Scale/Rotate object.

      The objects are returned to the starting
      locations.

a  In yIns Vertex mode, the last LineDef is NOT
   drawn to close the polygon (if it is missing).

   Ins Vertex is reset to the next area to draw.
   Press Esc again to exit Vertex insert mode.

yrIns

a  yThing mode : Insert a new Thing at the current
   cursor position. Copies the last selected object
   or insert a default object (see Edit F1 help).

a  yVertex mode: Starts Insert mode for creating
   Vertices, LineDefs and Sectors (Sectors optional,
   set in Options).

   A quick Double Mouse Click also enters Vertex
   Insert mode.

   This is the workhorse mode for drawing areas!

   Press the Left mouse button to start creating
   Vertexes and LineDefs. You can start on top of an
   existing Vertex. That's the way you connect
   Sectors. (Also see Mouse buttons.) You can also
   trace on top of other Vertexes/LineDefs to make
   them 2-sided.

   If you are making Door sides, Press bIns to stop
   (see below).

   When you place a Vertex on top of an existing
   LineDef, the LineDef is split at the location of
   the new Vertex. This is how you can quickly make
   Door sides (see Misc Help).

   To place only 1 Vertex, press the Left mouse
   button and then press the Right Mouse button.

   If you select 2 vertexes (before you press Ins)
   and then press Ins, a LineDef is created connect-
   ing the 2 vertices. No Sector is made.


p         ySplit Sector / 2-sided LineDef

   After you create a single LineDef (from only 2
   vertexes) a prompt automatically comes up asking
   if you want to split the sector or make the Line-
   Def 2-sided. Choose exit to do nothing, but be
   sure to come back and fix it!.


p                  yFinish/End

   There are 3 ways to finish a Line/Side/Def/Sector:

   1. Press the Right button to close the last
      LineDef (if you haven't made a complete loop).
      A new SideDef1 is created for each line drawn
      and they all share a new Sector .

      You connect two sectors by sharing a LineDef
      (you trace over an existing LineDef), the
      shared LineDef is automatically made 2-sided.

   2. Press the bIns key to do everything you did
      in 1 above. The difference is, any LineDef you
      traced over is NOT made 2-sided. You do this if
      the LineDef is being traced over because you
      are making a Door.

      Door sides are normally 1-sided, so you don't
      want the process to make it 2-sided. If you
      forget, you have to eliminate the SideDef2
      created by setting the SideDef2 reference
      number to -1 (that's deleting it).

   3. Press the bEsc key to do everything you did
      in 1 except the LineDef is not automatically
      closed.


a  wLineDef mode: All the LineDefs you selected that
   are 1-sided, will be made 2-sided with a new
   sector assigned. Do not select any LineDefs that
   are already 2-sided.

   If you want to define an existing area that has
   mostly 1-sided LineDefs, but one of them is
   2-sided, remove the 2nd SideDef from the offender
   (set the reference to -1), then select all (now)
   1-sided LineDefs, press bIns and a new area is
   created with its own new Sector.

a  wSector mode: Creates a new sector. Look at F10
   number of sectors (minus 1) to get the new sector
   number. Use this to create a new sector for an
   area.

   It is safer (since you can't accidently delete) to
   change the sector reference in SideDefs to this
   new Sector. The old sector is purged when you do
   the final Check on the Level (always do the
   complete Check). You won't need to do this very
   often.

 1. Mark/unmark the current object (select/unselect)
    Quickly press the Left button to mark or unmark
    object(s).

    Marked objects (speaker clicks and the object
    changes color) are all changed as a group when
    you make changes.

    The right side of the top menu bar shows the
    total number of objects currently selected.

 2. Create selection box (same as Shift+Left mouse
    button).

    If the Left button pressed and held down for over
    2/10* of a second, Select box mode is entered.

    *Change the delay in Zoom/Mouse/Map options under
    Edit.

    Move the mouse to change the size of the outline
    you see to encompass all the objects you want
    selected/marked.

    All the currently selected objects are cleared
    when you enter Select mode and the new objects
    in the Selection box are now active.

    All these objects can now be edited at once or
    moved/copied.

    If you do NOT have additive select active (see
    shift+F5 options), then pressing the Left mouse
    button for a long duration and then releasing
    it, is a quick way to clear current selections!

 3. Add an object (same as Ins key).

    For Vertex and Things only, Quickly press the
    left mouse button twice in a row.

    You will Add an object of the current type.

a     y  What does Selecting an Object do

   Each time you click an object it is added
   to a list of selected objects. When you edit
   any of the objects in the list, all the objects
   selected receive the edit changes. Similarly, if
   you drag or copy when the cursor is over one of
   the objects in the list, all the objects are
   dragged or copied.

   You do bnot have to click to edit only one
   object. Move the cursor over the object to edit.
   When you see that it is selected, press Enter
   (or press the Right button quickly), select the
   options in the sub-menu and press Escape (or
   click the Right button) when you are done to exit.

   Similarly for copying or dragging only one object,
   make sure the object is automatically selected and
   press bO for copying it or press the Right
   button and hold down to drag.

   To unselect an object, click on it again or press
   bC to clear all.

   If you have turned Auto Select off by using the bA
   command, no objects are automatically selected as
   you roam the map. Turn it back on if you want to
   edit as described above.

yrLeft button Direct Picture Editing

   Left clicking the Sector, LineDef or Thing picture
   displayed on the bottom, pops up the corresponding
   object images/texture selection menu.

   This is a fast method of adjusting the final look
   of a level!

   Only the object displayed is changed. Additional
   objects you may have selected are ignored.

   You may wish to temporarily turn Auto Select of to
   keep the same object displayed on the bottom.

yrLeft button Insert Vertices

   If you quickly* click the Left mouse button twice,
   bIns mode as described next is automatically
   entered. You may prefer this to pressing the Ins
   key.

   Press the Left button after you press bIns in
   Vertex mode to create Vertices for LineDefs.

yrRight button

 1. Edit the current/selected object(s).

    Quickly press the Right button to edit the
    current object(s).

 2. Drag the current/selected object(s).

    If the Right button is pressed and held for over
    2/10* of a second, drag mode is entered.

    *Change the delay in Zoom/Mouse/Map options under
    Edit.

    All the selected object(s) are dragged.

    Drag the object(s) selected by pressing the Right
    mouse button (and holding it down) and at the
    same time moving the mouse to the desired loca-
    tion. Release the Right mouse button to place it.

    If you have a group of objects selected (either
    by individually selecting them with the Left
    mouse button or by using the bShift+left button
    box select) they are all dragged at the same time.

    If you press and hold the Right mouse button when
    you are over a rNew object (it "lights" up) and
    it is not in the current select list), the new
    object is dragged and all the prior ones are
    dropped.

 3. Change Edit mode.

    Quickly* clicking the Right mouse button brings up
    a sub-menu that allows you to change Edit modes.
    Select a new mode or Right click to exit.

    *Change the delay in Zoom/Mouse/Map options under

yb1. Use the arrow keys to select the option and press
    Enter.

yb2. ba. For menus without numbers in front, press the
    highlighted character (and nothing else).

y   bb. For menus with numbers in front, press the
       number (and nothing else).

yb3. Use the mouse to select the item. Move the mouse
    cursur to the line and click the left button.

 To cancel the selection, press Esc or click the
 right mouse button.

 If you have automatic object selection turned on
 (bA), objects automatically get selected when you
 get close to them. Some Sectors may be difficult to
 select if they have irregular shapes. Switch to
 LineDef mode, select a LineDef and switch back to
 Sector mode. You can also Jump to a Sector (or any
 object) with the bJ command.

 If you have extra Sectors in one location, you will
 also have trouble, but in that case you have to
 delete the extra Sector.  Run F10 Check to get rid
 of the extras automatically.

xyDeeP  [-n]

yThe b- commands are used for overrides when you
ystart bDeeP. The name surrounded by the parenthesis
yb(..) followed by b= is the long form of the name.

 If no () are shown, it's the same name.

yThe overrides are bPERMANENT and do not need to be
 entered again each time.

 All of these options can be set with altF5, this is
 for those that like to do it this way also.

yExample :
ybMain = c:\Doom2\DOOM2.wad defines the main IWAD.

yb-n (noload)

    Temporarily suppresses automatic DeeP restart.
    This clears all prior PWAD file names and all
    file additions. Used to start over again!

    Use this in the Shareware and LITE versions to
    CLEAR all the current levels you have read so you
    can start over again if you've exceeded the file
    limit of 3 or 6!

    The bReset Level option under File in Edit mode
    also resets all file additions to none.

    (See automatic restart options under Edit.)


yb-m   (main)  C:\DOOM2\DOOM2.WAD

    Name/location of the main IWAD file. This file
    determines DOOM or DOOM II support. For HeeP it
    set Heretic support.

    This path also determines the location of
    DOOM.EXE, DOOM2.EXE or HERETIC.EXE when testing
    a level (registered only).

    If you have both DOOM and DOOM II, create a
    batch file for each version using the -Main
    option to point to a different DOOM main
    wad file. This reduces disk space requirements.

    If you use only one copy of DeeP to edit both
    DOOM and DOOM II, the last files you were
    editing might be for the wrong version. If you
    did not want that to happen, use the -n option
    to clear the status of all saved files. (This
    will not occur if you run DeeP from different
    directories.)

    Modify and make a copy of the batch file used
    to execute DEEP (DEEP.BAT).

    In one batch file you might enter:

y   bDeeP32 -m c:\DOOM\DOOM.WAD   %1...
    (for DOOM)

    and in the second batch file enter:

y   bDeeP32 -m C:\DOOM2\DOOM2.WAD %1...
    (for DOOM II)

    Each time you change the name of the IWAD file,
    it is saved in DeeP.CFG. Thus if you start DeeP
    and do not override with a -m doom.wad command,
    the last name you used is automatically read.

    If you run DeeP directly by entering DEEP32, (or
    HEEP32) you bypass the batch files and you
    also CANNOT test or build nodes!

yb-f  (file) file1.wad file2.wad ...

    Add patch wad files to load. If no path is
    specified, a path is added (see PATCH).

    The b.wad extension is automatically added
    if no b. is used. (This also erases all prior
    saved PWAD information.)

yb-v # (video)

    Set the default video mode number (resolution).
    Experiment with this to see if your monitor is
    readable at higher resolutions ( 800x600 looks
    nice on many 15" monitors ).

    Values for #:

    1=640x480, 2=800x600, 3=1024x768, 4=1280x1024

    If the video driver detects an error, the
    resolution is reset to 640x480.

    The video board must support the VESA standard.

p                y DeeP / DPMI


 You may have to adjust your system to work
 with DeeP's Borland DPMI manager. Do not use
 QEMM's QDPMI (in CONFIG.SYS). You probably
 don't need it. Also you have to have
 HIMEM.SYS in CONFIG.SYS and at least FILES=20.

 Be sure to test before saving from DeeP!
 Please read README.DOC and README.1ST.

 If DeePbsp fails for any reason, you will get
 the message on returning that the file you
 saved is not a WAD file. The file is probably
 -0- in length. Copy the ~DeeP.wad or ~HeeP.wad
 back to the name you wanted so you now again
 have a copy of the last level you changed.

 Do NOT edit the temporary names above!!!!!

 DeePbsp will fail if you have overlapping
 vertices/LineDefs, so be sure to run the check
 for this in DeeP.

 The following information is to see if you may
 have an incorrect option in your system that
 is slowing down DeePbsp.

 Most of your PWADs should build in less than
 30 seconds. For reference, MAP14 (DOOM2) or
 E1M5 (HERETIC) should take no longer than 26
 seconds on a DX486/33. For faster processor,
 the time taken is proportional to the increase
 in speed. A DX2/66 is about 13 seconds and a
 DX4/100 is about 8 seconds.

 A SX486/33 (no coprocessor) is about 2
 minutes (?not sure).

 If your system is not within 5 seconds of this
 number, you probably did not shadow and cache
 your system BIOS. This is a big hit on all
 your work!

 One system took over 2 minutes, due to just
 this one error!!


y     b File Name Length

 The largest path name for any file is 42
 characters! This includes the drive speci-
 fication "C:\". For example: C:\DOOM2\DeeP is
 13 characters long.

 The default path is always added to any file
 you read or write, so don't forget to count it.

ybNew Level

 Erases all information so you can create a
 level from scratch.

 It is suggested to increase the screen refresh
 delay to at least 50 (see [] commands) to keep
 the map from flying all over the place. You
 may also want to set this for small levels or
 if you are running a very fast system.

ybRead PWAD

 Read a new wad patch file. The default
 directory is set by the "patch" option. If
 not set, the default follows DOS rules
 (usually where you started DeeP).

 The level edited is automatically set to
 the first one found.

y The characters b.WAD are automatically
y appended if no b. is found.

ybSave

 Save the level as a PWAD file. Enter the name
 of the file, including the complete path. If
 no path is given, the file is stored in your
 current directory. Press Esc or Cancel to not
 do anything.

 If a file has been Read in with the same save
 name it is renamed with the .BAK extension.

 If you save to an existing name, but that file
 has never been read, the file is overwritten.

 DeePbsp should be run if you have changed any
 of the map's geometry. You can ignore this if
 you do not intend to play right now, but want
 to go to bed (it is late).

pyThe Shareware version saves up to 3 files.
 with different names. The .BAK name counts as
 a name. If you read in 2 levels and save using
 a different name, the maximum is exceeded.

pyThe LITE version saves up to 6 files with
 different names.

pyThe Shareware and LITE versions do not save
 grouped PWADs.

pyThe Registered version saves up to 32 files
 and directly saves a grouped PWAD.

pyClear the REJECTS

 If you do not clear them, the existing REJECT
 information is copied. This is OK for slight
 tinkering with existing DOOM levels, but not
 recommended for big changes.

 The REJECTS are not always cleared to give you
 freedom to experiment easier. (DeePbsp only
 only copies REJECT data to make this easy.)

 If you have a level that crashes, yet you
 can't find anything wrong, try using the
 forced BUILD nodes command and clear the
 REJECT to bFF. If your level no longer
 crashes, you need to run a REJECT program or
 reduce the number of enemies.

pyDeePbsp will work on any PWAD file, just
 remember that it bdoes not clear the REJECT.
 DeePbsp will fix many levels built by other
 node builders that have bHOM errors.

 It is almost 100 percent reliable.

 Some errors we've had in the past, turned out
 to be DOOM coding errors (such as exceeding
 the number of visible SideDefs). Even DOOM II
 will get the message "exceeded number of
 visible planes" (or something like that) for
 some monster levels we've built.

 Reduce the number of LineDefs and simplify the
 area if you run into bHOM errors.

 Use the Grid feature when possible to minimize
 problems.

ybSave As ExMx

 Save the level with a different level number.
 Select the level and the rest is the same as
 above.

ybEdit Level

 Select a different existing level to edit.

ybReset Level

 Erases all PWAD information and resets all
 levels to the main IWAD.

ybBuildNode

 Save the level and always rebuild nodes.

 If you changed the Reject, the SaveRejectMask
 prompt will also appear.

ybBuildNodeAs

 Save the level with a different level number
 and always rebuild nodes.

 If you changed the Reject, the SaveRejectMask
 prompt will also appear.

ybSaveRejectMask

 You are given the following options:

awReject Mask

awSkip every  How many to fill with Pattern.
awPattern     Pattern to fill the rest with.
                 255 selects all (0xFF).

 Clear to 255 (bFF) or any pattern you like
 for TESTING or to have random fun.

 Once you change either value from the default
 value of 0, this prompt appears each time
 you build nodes. To get rid of the prompt
 change it back to 0/0.

 A skip value of 0, writes all the pattern.

 A skip value of 1, writes one "00" then your
 pattern, "00", pattern, etc. This is 50%
 pattern coverage.

 A skip value of 2, writes two "00" then your
 pattern, etc, this is 33% coverage.

 The Pattern also controls which sectors get
 activated. For example 15 (b0F) with a skip
 of 0 is also 50% coverage in a different way.

 This is useful to debug your level. With FF,
 you can wander around the level with all the
 monsters and yet you do not have to fight them
 off all the time (most of the time).

 In addition, this is a check to see if the
 enemies are causing problems in your level.


ybTest Level

pyRegistered only

 Load DOOM(II) or HERETIC and play a level you
 have saved.

a
aw DOOM and HERETIC can thrash your memory,
aw either due to DOOM errors or mistakes in
aw your Level or Hardware problems!
aw
aw If you are using 0 Dram wait states, you
aw may have problems!
aw
aw We therefore recommend to cold-boot (push
aw the reset switch every once in a while to
aw minimize unexpected failures in DOOM,
aw HERETIC, DeeP or HeeP!
aw

 The parameters -devparm -file yourfile.wad
 -warp xx are automatically created. You may
 enter up to 80 additional characters.

 For HERETIC -DEBUG is temporarily also a
 default, since this helps on 32-bit granular
 overflow errors. The normal startup screen
 does not appear when this is used.

 Enter or change the testing options to what
 you normally use. These are saved for the
 next time.

 If you experience testing problems, make sure
 you have a least 1 wait state in your Dram.

 HERETIC is touchier than DOOM on one of our
 machines. It works fine on one, yet constantly
 crashes on the other, with the same PWAD file.
 So, it's probably the machine, right?

 The skill level displayed by HERETIC is one
 less than the actual number you entered.

 Type any external PWADs you want added first,
 followed by your normal test options. The
 additional PWADS add extra graphics and sounds
 to your level (do not enter your test level).

 For example: (all on one line, can't do here)

aw CHOOKV23.WAD CHKSTUFF.WAD
aw -skill 3 -nomonsters

 If you have DOOM and it's 1.666 or later,
 turn on the Response File option. This
 allows you to bypass the limitation of how
 much information you can pass to DOOM from
 DeeP (DOOM II and HERETIC are automatic).

 We do not have any systems with only 4MB but
 it should work ok, since only about 7kb is
 taken.

 Upon exit, you return to DeeP and everything
 is restarted if you set the option to reload.

ybPrint

pyRegistered only

 Print the level to printer or a file (see
 below).

 A file is saved in the current DeeP/HeeP
 directory. You can type in any legitimate
 path name, for example, C:\mymaps\map01.hgl

ybeXit

  Exit the editor. Prompts to Save the file if
  changes have been made.



y            b Printing Maps

 The map printed is exactly the same as
 currently displayed on the screen for
 640x480 resolution only. (To be resolved
 later.) So set the video to this resolution!

 At the this resolution you can zoom and
 get the zoomed MAP print. Similarly,
 scroll right and you get the section
 shown.

 All maps print the level as shown on the
 screen with three variations. Each type
 is automatically selected by the edit mode
 (Things, LineDefs, Sectors).

ybThing mode  : Things are shown with an X on
               the map.
ybLineDef mode: Two-sided LineDefs are printed
               darker.
ybSector  mode: Just the map.

 If the grid is turned on, it is superimposed
 as dotted lines over the map at the grid size
 active.


ybPrint Operation

 If you have an HP printer that supports the
 HPGL language, you can print directly to the
 printer. If the printer prints characters and
 numbers(e.g.,PD12,55), the printer does not
 support HPGL.

 If your printer doesn't work directly, chose
 a file for output. Then import it into Word
 for Windows as an HPGL (.HGL) graphics file.
 Set the page to landscape and maximize the
 margins. Use insert picture to put the map
 in a word document, importing as HPGL of
 course.

 You can then print the file from Word,using
 Windows' print drivers for your printer.

 You need Word's graphic import filter for
 .HGL installed (one of the options on Word
 setup 6.0a graphic filters). Download an
 upgrade for FREE from Microsoft if you
 have 6.0. (See the About Screen for the
 version).

 This has been tested with Word 6.0a. Corel
 PhotoPaint can also import it, but it's pretty
 lousy. If you know of others, let us know and
 we'll include it here.

 On some computers, you may get an error after
 printing for a while. The message is out of
 our control, just reply Y to retry. If you
 are out of paper, put some more paper in!

 We can't control this right now, it's a dumb
 compiler problem, it won't tell us there is
 problem with printer!

ybCopy Object(s)  O

 Used to copy (groups of) Things, Vertices,
 LineDefs and SideDefs, or Sectors.

 After pressing bO move the copy to the
 location desired by pressing the Right
 mouse button and moving the cursor. When
 the Right button is released, the objects
 are moved.

 The same objects can be move again. Press
 bC to clear the selection. You can also
 clear them by holding down the Left mouse
 button (that creates the select box) for
 over 1/2 a second and then release it.

 While dragging, you can also press Esc to
 clear them all. This also cancels the drag.
 The copied objects still exist. You can't
 see them because they are on top of one
 another!

ybAdd Object (Same as bIns key)

 Be careful to not insert multiple Sectors at
 the same location! The check will catch this
 as Sector not closed messages, but it will
 not be obvious to you. See Ins in Sector mode
 below.

 New Sectors use the default values you set
 in Texture defaults.

 Also refer to the documentation of the
 bIns key for some more information.


y         rIns Vertex mode

 This creates the LineDefs/SideDefs/Sectors
 for a level. You can also start Insert Mode
 by quickly pressing the left mouse button.

 Insert Mode continues until you stop it with
 the Right Mouse button (the normal method),
 press the bEsc or bInskey. If have made
 some lines already, press either of these
 again to exit.

 SideDefs and Sectors are automatically created
 if Auto Insert Sector is turned on in Options.

 There are two variations in Vertex mode:

 b1. If 1 or no vertex is selected, press the
    Left mouse button to create Vertices/Line-
    Defs.

    if 1 vertex is selected, the next vertex
    is automatically connected to the one
    selected. Use this method to connect
    multiple areas. Draw over an existing
    LineDef of the old area to automatically
    make the old LineDef 2-sided and make the
    new sector share the same characteristics
    as the one you are connecting to.

    Each time the Left button is pressed a
    Vertex and a LineDef is created (if you
    have 2 or more vertices).

a           y Joining Areas

    If you are joining areas, move the cursor
    over an existing vertex in the area to
    join. Make it select (bottom box shows it,
    and the vertex lights up/sound) and then
    press the left button. The existing vertex
    is now selected and joined to the prior
    vertex.

    Go over the existing LineDef to make it
    2-sided somewhere in your creation path.

    If you miss, manually move the vertex by
    dragging it on top of the other one (stop
    insert mode first by pressing Mouse button
    2).

    The current grid is used to align vertices
    (Snap-to-Grid active).

    A grid of 8 is recommended. Move an
    existing vertex to make it line up if you
    can't match because the grids misalign it.

a           y Splitting Lines

    If you place a vertex directly on top of
    an existing line, the line is auto-
    matically split.

 b2. If exactly 2 vertexes are selected, a
    new LineDef connecting the two is created.
    Insert mode automatically ends.

    This is mostly used for odd situations
    where you are connecting two separate
    areas or you are fixing a mistake.


 Press the Right button to stop inserting.
 The last two open vertices are connected.
 creating the last LineDef to close. The
 SideDefs and Sector is automatically created
 (unless you turned Auto Insert Sector OFF).

 If you do not want the LineDefs closed,
 press the bEsc key.

 A check is made to see if any obvious overlaps
 exist. The check can be turned off in Edit
 Options for faster operation.

 If you press bC, the command is immediately
 stopped and no SideDefs and Sector are
 created.

 When creating an area, you should end up with
 all the LineDefs forming a complete loop. All
 the arrows should point the same way.

y         r Rooms and Objects

 Draw Rooms clockwise. An inner New sector is
 created.

 Draw Objects inside a room counter-clockwise.
 The room Sector is assigned to the LineDefs
 made. If you do this outside a room, a brand
 new Sector is assigned. This is initially not
 correct, but DeeP assumes you know what you
 are doing!

 You will fix this of course. This results in a
 Sector not closed message if you forget.

 Flip the LineDef (F8 Misc menu) to correct any
 errors.

 LineDefs that do not loop result in Sector not
 closed messages. Also LineDefs that butt
 heads (they do not all go the same direction)
 also cause Sector not closed errors (if not
 2-sided).

 If the ends do not touch, use method 2 above
 to connect the opening or select one of the
 vertices and drag it on top of the other one.
 Reply yes to merge them together (works only
 if you haven't turned the check off).

 If you didn't use Auto Insert Sector, complete
 the unfinished area by selecting all the Line-
 Defs (or outline a complete bclosed area).
 Then switch to LineDef mode (press bL) and
 press bIns again to create SideDefs and a
 Sector for the area just made.


y         rIns LineDef mode

 In LineDef mode when a group of LineDefs are
 selected and you press bIns a new Sector is
 created and one SideDef in each LineDef is
 bound to this Sector. The edit mode will
 switch to editing Sectors.

 Normally, SideDef1 already exists, so it adds
 SideDef2 to all the sides and makes the Line-
 Defs 2-sided with no textures.

 If SideDef1 did not exist, it adds SideDef1
 and nothing else.


y         rIns Sector mode

 Use this to create a new Sector that you are
 going to manually reference with a SideDef
 or to replace a Sector that was manually
 deleted in the SideDefs and now you want it to
 have a different sector.

 This is normally done, when you can't change
 the existing Sector, since it is shared by
 other enclosed areas (you would change all of
 them), so a new one is created.

 The LineDef/ SideDefs involved are manually
 changed to point to the new Sector.

 Select and modify LineDefs by using the Del
 key to get rid of Sectors/SideDefs you don't
 want and add new ones back in by pressing
 Ins.  You may also want to change the
 references to SideDefs or Sectors to -1, the
 same as deleting them, with the advantage
 that you can tailor each individually without
 any danger of loosing it all!


y         rIns Thing mode

 A new Thing matching the current object
 selected is created.


ybDelete Object

 Same as bDel key. Press the Del key again to
 confirm the deletion.

ybClear Selection

 Same as pressing C to clear or hold the left
 mouse button down for about a second.

ybThing Filter Mask  K

 Clear/Mark the boxes to display or not display
 the items shown.

 For example to display everything for skill
 level 1, unmark levels 3 and 4-5 and leave
 everything else marked.

 To display all the network only items, unmark
 all the skill/deaf boxes and then mark NET
 and the item(s) you are interested in. For
 example, click on only NET and ENEMIES to see
 only the enemies in a network game.

ybZoom/Mouse/Map Opt F6

 Set your preferences for :

ayObject Select Range

 Determines the sensitivity to selecting
 objects near the cursor.

ayOverlap Tolerance

 Determines the number of Doom unit variance to
 allow before two points are considered to have
 the same coordinates. Default = 3.

 Decrease if you are creating very tight areas.

 It is normally impractical to make it 0, since
 you have to be EXACTLY on top of a vertex to
 make it overlap. This allows some leeway to
 make it easier to merge vertices.

ayRuler Radius

 Set the radius for the ruler. Three rectangles
 are drawn. Starting with the value given, each
 inner rectangle is 1/2 the prior size. A size
 of 0 is no rectangle.

ayThing Fill Pattern

 You can change the pattern display of the
 Things to one of the following values:

 │  0 │ Thing Color Transparent
 │  1 │ Solid fill
 │  2 │ ---
 │  3 │ ///
 │  4 │ ///, thick lines

 │  6 │ \\\
 │  7 │ Light hatch
 │  8 │ Heavy crosshatch
 │  9 │ Interleaving lines
 │ 10 │ Widely spaced dots
 │ 11 │ Closely spaced dots

ayMap Scroll Speed

 Determines the amount the map moves when the
 cursor touches the edges.

ayMouse Sensitivity

 Set how fast the cursor moves. First time is
 the original value.

ayMouse Click Speed

 Sets the double click speed in Milliseconds
 (ms). This also determines how long a button
 has to be held to enter drag or select mode.
 Increasing this, makes "selection" slower.

 Experiment to fit your click style.

ayLower Zoom

 The lower zoom limit when Z is pressed. The
 lower limit is less than the normal - limit.

ayUpper Zoom

 The upper zoom limit when Z is pressed.

ayPalette Number

 Adjust for you monitor. Loads a different
 palette from the IWAD. 1 through 8 are
 redder. 0 and 9 are similar. 13 is green.

 More stuff in the future. Adjust to your
 viewing pleasure.

ayBotm Texture Magnify

 0 displays textures in 1/2 size, so more of
 it shows. 1 is normal size, perhaps easier
 to view, but less shows.

ayBeep Browse Freq

 Speaker beep frequency as you move the cursor
 across the map and different items select
 (color changes to Yellow).

ayBeep Select Freq

 Speaker beep frequency when you select an
 item with the left mouse button (color changes
 to Green).

ayBeep Error Freq

 Speaker beep frequency when an error message
 appears.

aySound Selection

 Sound when object is selected.

aySound Errors

 Sound when an error occurs.

ayLineDef Split

 Perform a check to see if any vertices are
 on top of a linedef every time vertices
 move. Disabling this speeds up editing large
 levels at the risk of missing mistakes you
 make.

 An overlap check for vertices is always done.

aySelect Object0

 Select object 0 the first time.

ayAdditive Select

 Add currently selected objects to all in the
 current select box.

ayAuto Start

 Automatically restart DeeP in Edit mode,

 Use -n when loading to temporarily suppress.

ayAuto Load

 Automatically reloads the last PWADs you were
 editing.

 Use -n when loading to temporarily suppress.

ayGrid Dashed

 Set grid lines to be dashed or solid lines.

aySelect Dashed

 Set select box lines to be solid or dashed.

ayInfo Objects

 Display text information about objects.

 bI toggles, this is for the mouse only user.

ayInfo Picture

 Display textures and things in picture form.

 bI toggles, this is for the mouse only user.

ayAuto Insert Sector

 Automatically insert SideDefs and Sectors when
 you create LineDefs in Vertex Mode. If you do
 not have this active, create the SideDefs/
 Sectors in LineDef mode by selecting the
 LineDefs and pressing the bIns key.

ayThick Lines

 Increase the line thickness to 3. Useful when
 you use large monitors at high resolutions or
 use a white background.

ayResponse File

 When testing, create a response file. This is
 always done for DOOM II and HERETIC.
 DOOM 1.666 and later also supports this.

 (See Testing help under File help).

ayVertex Arrows

 Places direction arrows in Vertex Mode.

aySnap Cursor

 Cursor automatically follows menus.

ayExpert Mode

 Turn this on to not have confirmations for
 deleting anything nor a warning when you
 flip SideDefs. It's up to you to catch loose
 fingers.

ayMap Border

 Display a line on the left/right side of the
 screen. It's up to you!

ayThing Picture

 Display a picture of all Things in any edit
 mode. The type of Thing (circle or picture)
 is set by the last setting in bT display.
 It's up to you! The default is a cross.

ayMenu Nesting

 Keeps menus displayed until you quit by
 pressing Esc or clicking the Right mouse
 button.

 If you turn this off, all of the menus,
 except for Things, exit after you select
 one item. This behavior is similar to
 DEU.

B             y VideoMode

ay 1 640x480
ay 2 800x600
ay 3 1024x768
ay 4 1280x1024

 Sets the video resolution desired.

 End the Edit mode and restart (or start the
 screen saver) to active).

 If your video board does not support the
 resolution and the video driver is able to
 detect this, the resolution is reset to 1.

 All video support is currently VESA only.

B           y File Locations

ay 5 MainWAD File

 Enter the location and name of the IWAD file.

 For example: bC:\DOOM2\DOOM2.WAD for DOOM2.

 You can use the cursor, Home, Delete and End
 keys to edit the name.

 The maximum length is 43 characters!

ay 6 File Path

 The default Drive and Directory path choosen
 when you read or save files. You can manually
 type over the drive:\directory when you read
 or save, this is the default if no entry is
 made.

 The maximum File path length is 26 characters!

 Be sure to test with a save of a level before
 you continue. This will be verified in a
 later release (DPMI was different and the old
 code could not be used).

ay 7 Help File

y2. bFind First Free Tag

    Locates the first tag number that has not
    yet been used in this map. This always
    automatically shows when you enter a new
    tag as the number between ().

  The rest of the options vary by mode as
  follows:

b             yThings Mode

y1. b  Rotate and Scale Thing(s)

    Move marked Things by the degree of rota-
    tion and a percentage scale.

    This is the same as b< > which is a
    quicker way to Enter Scale/Rotate mode.


b             yVertices Mode

y1. b  Rotate and Scale Vertices

    Move marked Vertices by the degree of rota-
    tion and a percentage scale.

    This is the same as b< > which is a
    quicker way to Enter Scale/Rotate mode.

y3. b  Delete Vertex and join LineDef(s)

    Deletes the marked vertex and joins Line-
    def(s) that were previously connected to
    the vertex.

y4. b  Merge several Vertices into one

    Same as #3 above, with multiple Vertices.

y5. b  Add LineDef & Split Sector

    You must mark exactly TWO Vertices from
    the SAME Sector before calling this
    command. This adds a LineDef and a new
    Sector.

    See Vertex Ins mode for a second way to do
    this.

b        yLineDefs/S SideDefs Mode

    This can also be done by drawing a LineDef
    from one side to the other. When you end by
    pressing the Right mouse button, DeeP asks
    if you want to split the Sector or make the
    LineDef 2-sided.

b        yLineDefs & SideDefs Mode

y1. b  Rotate and Scale LineDefs

    Move marked LineDefs by the degree of rota-
    tion and a percentage scale.

    This is the same as b< > which is a
    quicker way to Enter Scale/Rotate mode.

y3. b  Split LineDef (add new Vertex)

    Splits the selected LineDef(s).

y4. b  Split LineDefs and Sector

    Splits the selected LineDefs by adding
    a vertex at the midpoint, connecting the
    new Vertices with a LineDef which divides
    the original Sector.

    See Vertex Ins mode for a second way to do
    this.

y5. b  Delete LineDefs and join Sectors

    Removes the selected two-sided LineDef(s)
    that divide Sectors and makes them into
    a single Sector.

y6. b  Flip LineDef and Swap SideDefs

    Flips the LineDef(s) start and endpoints.

    Also swap the SideDefs. This reverses the
    1st and 2nd SideDefs. This alters the
    Sector references, what was on one side is
    now on the other side. Normally, you
    wouldn't do both, unless you have big plans
    in mind. DEU does both at the same time,
    so that's why it's here.

y7. b  Swap LineDef SideDefs

    Swaps SideDef(s) 1 and 2. This swaps the
    Sectors assigned to each side, so check
    that the Sectors match correctly!

y8. b  Flip LineDef Vertex Only

    Flips the LineDef(s) start and endpoints.

y9. b  Align Textures (Y offset)

    Align the textures on the Y offset. The
    first LineDef selected is used as the
    reference point.

    This is for Up/Down (Y) alignment.

y10.b  Align Textures (X Offset)

    This is for horizontal (left->right) X
    alignment.

    Select a group of LineDefs that follow each
    other. Select the LineDefs in sequence, one
    following the next. Select in the direction
    the arrows point.

    The 2nd SideDef is aligned in reverse, but
    still selected the same way. The sequence
    is automatically reversed. The last LineDef
    selected is the first one aligned. They all
    flow in reverse of the 1st SideDef sequence.

    Textures can be checked for Identical Names
    or the names of the textures are ignored
    and are not compared.

    If you ignore checking textures for the
    same name, each time the texture name
    changes, the alignment offset is reset to
    0 if you answer yes to the prompt that
    appears or the offset calculations continue.

    If no Normal textures is found the Upper
    texture is used.

    If no Upper texture is found the Lower
    texture is used.

    LineDefs with no textures are ignored and
    the offset is reset 0.


y11.b  Make Door from 4 LineDefs

    You can also use the Object menu to make
    a predefined Door, if you prefer.

    Select 4 LineDefs that will be come the
    4 Door sides and then activate this function.
    The LineDefs, Ceiling height, textures,
    etc... will be modified accordingly.

    The 4 LineDefs are required to be 4 types
    as shown below. The * represents the arrow
    or the direction of the LineDefs.

    The LineDefs butt heads at the *.

                    │
    *───────────────L1────────────────
    │                                │
    L4──                           ──L2
    │                                │
    ────────────────L3───────────────*
                    │

    L1 and L3 are counter clockwise.
    L2 and L4 are clockwise.

p    y Working with 4 Existing LineDefs

    If you have 4 existing LineDefs, but one
    of the Door sides is oriented in the wrong,
    direction, use Misc Flip LineDef to fix.

    Don't mess with the sides. They should be
    going in opposite directions already, like
    in a hall. If you flip them, you may have
    to fix what they connect to also!

    It doesn't matter if all the SideDefs exist
    already or not.

    1. Go into LineDef mode and select the 4
       LineDefs L1, L2, L3, L4
       (Left mouse click them one at a time.)

    2. Select Misc, Create Door from 4 LineDefs.

    3. You are done!


p    y Working with No Existing LineDefs

    We're going to assume you have a hallway
    already and want to put a door in it.

    This is what you have so far, it doesn't
    matter where they start or end.

  ...───────L1──────────────────────────...>

      some hallway

  <...──────L2──────────────────────────....

    Snap-to-grid normally helps place the
    vertex on top of a LineDef. However, if the
    LineDef runs at a slant, it may be easier
    to turn snap-to-grid off (/) so you can
    place it wherever you want it.

    Go into Vertex mode and Press Ins:

    1. Place your first vertex right on top of
       L1 where you want the door by pressing
       the Left mouse button. Move over to the
       right (width of door) and Left click
       again to place the second Vertex.
       Press bIns key to finish (to prevent a
       2-sided LineDef from being created).

    2. Place your third vertex right on top of
       L2 where you want the door by pressing
       the Left mouse button. Move over to the
       right (width of door) and Left click
       again to place the fourth Vertex.
       Press bIns key to finish.

       This is what is should look like now:
                      1   2
  ...───────L1────────>─┬─>──────────────...>

      some hallway

  <...──────L2────────<─┴─<──────────────....
                      4   3

    3. Place your cursor right on top of the
       vertex 3 and press the Left mouse button.
       a. Move on top of vertex 2, Left Click.
       b. Move on top of vertex 1, Left Click.
       c. Move on top of vertex 4, Left Click.
       d. Move on top of vertex 3, Left Click.

       Press the bIns key to finish.

    4. Press the Right Mouse button (or Ins)
       again to exit Vertex create mode.

       Here's where you should be:
                      1   2
  ...───────L1────────>─┬─>──────────────...>
                      │ a │

                      │ b │
  <...──────L2────────<─┴─<──────────────....
                      4   3

    5. Go into LineDef mode and select the 4
       LineDefs a,b,c,d:
       (Left mouse click them one at a time.)

    6. Select Misc, Create Door from 4 LineDefs.

    7. You are done!


    There are other ways to get here, but this
    is the easiest. If you do not draw the
    LineDefs as shown, let's say you did only
    c, you'll have to fix the sector reference
    for SideDef1, since it created a new one.

    The method shown, automatically picks up
    the correct reference sector from a or b,
    the ones we drew on top of, so the bottom
    of the Door Sector is correct.

y12.bMake Stair from 2 LineDefs

    Select 2 LineDefs that will be come the
    Stair sides and then activate this function.
    The LineDefs, Ceiling height, textures,
    etc... will be modified accordingly.

    The word bBOTTOM indicates the bottom of
    the stair default. Reply Y to the next
    prompt to make the bottom the TOP!

    Enter a negative value to make the stairs
    go down. This is similar to reversing the
    stair direction, but the steps are created
    for going Down instead of Up.

    Check that the stair did not overlay some
    existing area. Sometimes you need to fix
    the final sector, if the steps end up over-
    laying an existing LineDef.

    The TOP of the stair changes the floor
    height of the old Sector! So anything that
    that connects to the old sector should be
    raised to match the new floor. Make the
    stairs first to avoid extra work.


b               ySector Mode

y1.b  Rotate and Scale Sectors

    Move marked Sectors by the degree of rota-
    tion and a percentage scale.

    This is the same as b< > which is a
    quicker way to Enter Scale/Rotate mode.

    This will NOT move the "Things" in the sec-
    tor. After rearranging the Sector, you may
    have to go into Things mode and select them
    and do the same rotation/adjustment on them.

y3.b  Make lift from Sector

    Select the Sector that is to become the
    lift and then activate this function. The
    LineDefs,textures, etc... will be modified
    accordingly.

y4.b  Distribute Floor heights

    This function takes the difference in floor
    heights between the first and last Sector
    selected, divide it by the number of sec-
    tors in between and then distribute the
    result across the floor heights of the in-
    between Sectors in the order selected.

    This is useful for setting floor heights on
    stairways.

    You should start with the sector that has
    the lowest floor desired and end with the
    sector with the highest floor.

    Do NOT accidently move the cursor when you
    select this option or you may select a
    Sector and get out of the sequence chosen!

y5.b  Distribute Ceiling heights

    This function takes the difference in
    ceiling heights between the first and last
    Sector selected, divide it by the number of
    Sectors in between and then distribute the
    result across the ceiling heights of the
    in-between Sectors in the order selected.

    This is useful for setting ceiling heights
    on stairways.

    You should start with the sector that has
    the lowest floor desired and end with the
    sector with the highest floor.

    Do NOT accidently move the cursor when you
    select this option or you may select a
    Sector and get out of the sequence chosen!

y6.b  Distribute Sector Lighting

    This function takes the difference in
    lighting between the first and last Sector
    selected, divide it by the number of
    Sectors in between and then distribute the
    result across the lighting of the
    in-between Sectors in the order selected.

    This is useful for setting gradual changes
    in lighting in moving from area to area.

    You should start with the sector that has
    the lowest lighting desired and end with
    the sector with the most lighting.

    Do NOT accidently move the cursor when you
    select this option or you may select a
    Sector and get out of the sequence chosen!

b          y

 A  rRoom   is outside a Sector.
 An rObject is inside a Sector.

 No part of the created object may cross any
 existing lines. After the object is made you
 can Drag the object (hold the right mouse
 button) to the correct location and release
 the button to place it.

 Failure to move the object results in Sector
 not closed messages.

 If you have a crescent shaped Sector and you
 want to make a room, but keep getting the
 "you need to be outside a sector" message,
 move away from the crescent, make the room and
 then drag it back. This is easy to do.

 MAP01 is a good example of this slight problem.
 We compromised between speed and accuracy.
 It takes a LOT longer to be exact.


b        yROOM - Outside A Sector

ybInsert a Rectangle

 Enter the width and height (length) of the
 rectangle and DeeP automatically inserts the
 Vertices, LineDefs+SideDefs, and Sector at the
 current pointer location.

 This is adding a rectangular room.

 NOTE: If you press "Ins" after inserting the
 rectangle, a new Sector is created outside the
 rectangle and changes the walls to transparent.

 This makes it 2-sided. You are responsible
 for making the Sector references match up.
 That is, you have to match the Sector number
 of SideDef2 to the "other" room you have to
 create around it.


ybInsert a Polygon (N-sided)

 Enter the number of sides and a radius and
 DeeP automatically inserts the Vertices,
 LineDefs+SideDefs, and Sector at the current
 pointer location.

 You can create anything from a triangle to a
 32 sided polygon.

 This is adding an N-sided room.

 NOTE: If you press "Ins" after inserting the
 rectangle, a new Sector is created outside the
 rectangle and changes the walls to transparent.

 This makes it 2-sided. You are responsible
 for making the Sector references match up.
 That is, you have to match the Sector number
 of SideDef2 to the "other" room you have to
 create around it.

b        yOBJECT -Inside A Sector

 The following additional options are available
 for both Rectangle and Polygon (Pool value).
 Options 1, 2, and 3 make a 2-sided object for
 you.

 0 = Normal vanilla shape, (a column)
 1 = Sunken Pool, (a recessed floor area)
 2 = Raised pedestal, (a podium)
 3 = Lights, (a pedestal hanging from the
     ceiling and a pedestal on the floor)

 The Depth/Height, sets how deep a pool is and
 how high a pedestal is. The maximum amount you
 can walk over is 24.  The same value is used
 to set the light box size and pedestal combo.

 Ignore the Depth/Height for a type 0, Normal.

 You can tinker with the Ceiling Light sector,
 make it extend down and now you have a wall
 with a see-through gap!

 We suggest you make each of these objects in
 a sector, see what they look like and then
 modify the sector heights to see what you can
 do.

 One nice effect is to make a Pool (fairly
 large, 512,512 and then insert a Pedestal
 inside of it. You can also insert Pedestal on
 top of Pedestal and you get a nice spire!


ybInsert a Rectangle

 Same as outside a Sector, but the first
 SideDefs will be set to the Sector they
 are contained in. Think of this as
 inserting a rectangular pillar.

 NOTE: If you made a vanilla shape (0),
 pressing "Ins" after inserting the
 rectangle creates a new Sector inside the
 rectangle and changes the walls to
 transparent. This makes it 2-sided.

 Use this to define a new area inside a
 Sector.

 If you don't you'll get sector not closed!


ybInsert a Polygon (N-sided)

 Also the same as outside a Sector, but the
 first SideDefs is set to the Sector they are
 contained in. Think of this as inserting an
 N-sided pillar.

 NOTE: If you made a vanilla shape (0),
 pressing "Ins" after inserting the
 polygon creates a new Sector inside the
 polygon and changes the walls to transparent.
 This makes it 2-sided. You are responsible
 for making the Sector references match up.


p         y
p         y Teleporter Pad
p         y

 There are two easy ways to make a teleporter
 pad:

 1. Make an Object.

    a. Press Ins to make it 2-sided.
    b. Assign it the Teleport LineDef.
    c. Give "destination" bSector Tag.
    d. Go to the destination Sector and give it
       a bLineDef Tag that is the same Tag
       number you said the Sector Tag would be.
    e. Place a teleport Thing in the sector
       where you will materialize.

    Adjust the Sector heights and texture to
    suit your design.

 2. Use the Pedestal feature.

    Make a pedestal, don't raise it more than
    24 above the floor, otherwise you can't
    step on it!

    Change the floor texture to the Teleport
    look (or anything you like).

    Finish using the same stuff as in 1. above.


r          yStairs are Special

 This discusses stairs created as a separate
 object. Making a stair from 2 LineDefs is
 different from what follows.

 Stairs are always created inside a Sector.
yThe rbottom step connects to this Sector
 for reference. You need to complete the
yrtop step by connecting it the Sector
 desired.

 Switch to Vertex mode and place the last 2
 vertexes on the rLineDef desired and
 reply yes to the split LineDef message.

 You can also do this by dragging the stair on
 top of the LineDef you want it to connect to.

 Finish by changing the LineDef just created
 by the split to point to the Sector of the
 last step ( Sector reference ).

ybFor DOOM don't make more than 16 steps!
ybYou will get HOM errors (fixed in DOOM II)

ybInsert a Door

 Enter the width and height (length) of the
 Door and DeeP automatically inserts the
 Vertices, LineDefs+SideDefs, and Sector at the
 current pointer location. Everything is made
 for a Door.

 Drag the Door over where you want it. Rotate
 it as required or drag the vertices.  The
 easiest way to connect it to a hallway is to
 select the door ends and drag them on top of
 the hallway LineDef one at a time.

 If everything is aligned on the grid then snap
 to grid helps you. If not, turn snap off.

 Fix any missing textures as apppropriate. This
 displays on the bottom panels as "missing".

 object.

 If you are converting from DOOM II to DOOM, or
 from HERETIC, be sure to replace any
 incompatible LineDefs!

 Use Search to find and decide what will work
 almost the same.

 Be sure to run the complete check before you
 test the level!


y1. bNumber of Objects

 Gives a count of all the objects in a level.
 The last five are built by the DeePbsp node
 builder.

 The amount of bytes needed to store the
 information in a PWAD file is rounded to
 the nearest Kbyte).

 The next screens display Things information
 to help you evaluate the playability of the
 level for the different skills.

y2. bCheck if all Sectors are closed

 Test all Sectors and make sure they are
 closed. If they are not closed it reports
 the number of the unclosed Sector. There are
 some circumstances when a Sector is tech-
 nically not closed, but if you can never reach
 it, no problem occurs. Some DOOM levels,
 for example, MAP14, have some of these.

 The Sector not closed message can also mean
 you have two (or more) LineDefs/Sectors in the
 same location. Go into Vertex mode and see if
 when you drag a vertex another one shows up!

 Try deleting one and see if you still have a
 Sector showing?

 Remember, the final test is playing the level!
 If the area not closed causes trouble, you
 must fix it.

p      y
p      y Sector Not Closed Errors
p      y   Most Likely Causes
p      y


 1. You have 1-Sided LineDefs and they do not
    all go the same direction. This is easy to
    see and understand.

 2. The Sector reference used in the SideDef
    does not match an opposite LineDef/SideDef
    that uses the same Sector.

    For example, a room has an "opposite" wall
    that has the same Sector. In fact, all the
    walls have the same sector reference.
    If you changed 1 of the SideDefs to be a
    different Sector, you will get the infamous
    "not closed" message.

    Try this for yourself!

    You fix this by change the Reference Sector
    for the SideDef in LineDef edit mode.

    This is usually visible as a "gap" in
    sector display.

    If you see a "red" Sector you have no
    sector defined at all at that spot (if it's
    not a tag)!

    For an object in a room, the "outside" wall
    of the object should be the same Sector
    number as the Sector (or room) that it is
    contained in.

    Look at the SideDefs and compare the Sector
    reference(s) used. As you follow the Line-
    Defs,look at the bottom display and view
    the Sectors used.

    The enclosed area (room) described by the
    SideDefs must all use the same Sector
    number.

    For an object, (the LineDefs point out),
    Sector numbers must match the Sector of the
    immediate area (room) the object is in.


y3. bCheck cross references

 Verify the integrity of the level and help
 locate possible problem areas.  This helps
 locate orphaned SideDefs, etc. It will also
 remove extraneous LineDefs if there are two
 LineDefs between the same Vertices.

y4. bCheck SideDef Textures

 Report any SideDefs that may need to have a
 Normal/Upper/or Lower texture defined.

 If the texture can never be seen, a missing
 texture causes no problems.

 If also checks to see that normal textures
 for 2-sided LineDefs have only 1 patch.

 2-Sided LineDefs with textures containing more
 than 1 patch slows the game to a crawl and
 causes the 'Medusa Effect' - Looks like snakes
 and turns you to stone.

y5. bCheck Texture Names

 Report any texture names which are not found
 in the current DOOM/HERETIC IWAD file.  The
 names are different for DOOM, DOOM II and
 HERETIC.

y6. bCheck Thing Names

 Report any Thing names which are not found
 in the current DOOM IWAD file.  The names are
 different for DOOM and DOOM II.

y7. bCheck LineDef Types/Tags

 Report any LineDef types that are not known to
 DeeP.

 Make sure Sector tags are present when
 required! A missing Sector tag (tag is 0 and
 it shouldn't be) crashes DOOM.

 Report LineDefs with tags that do not require
 them. If you reset to 0, the sectors they
 referenced will complain about a missing tag,
 but that's ok since they should be set to
 0 also. Recheck to make sure some other Line-
 Def isn't using that tag!

 Id could have used this!

pyRegistered DeeP distinquishes between
 DOOM and DOOM II LineDefs. A LineDef that does
 not exist in DOOM comes up as missing. The
 DOOM II description is in the information box.

y8. bCheck Sector Types

 Report any Sector types that are not known to
 DeeP.

 List any Sectors with tags that do not have a
 matching LineDef with the same Tag number.
 This is OK, if you removed them as noted above
 in the LineDef Tag check. Otherwise, it
 indicates left-over useless tags.

 Use this when converting between DOOM types or
 HERETIC to find the differences.

y9. bCheck (5,6,7,8)Texture,Things,LineDefs,
    Sectors.

 Self explanatory!

y10. bCheck (2,3,4 )SectorsClose, Cross-Ref,
     Missing.

 Self explanatory!

y11. bCheck (2 ... 8)all of the above

 Self explanatory!  Always run this to be sure.

y12. bAutomatic fix missing Textures

 Check for differences in heights, this there
 should be a texture. Use the current default
 textures. If it doesn't show, it can be left
 alone, but it doesn't hurt to put it in.

y13. bAutomatic fix Texture names

 A quick way to convert DOOM to DOOM II. Uses
 the current default textures.

 Will also convert to HERETIC.

 Describes basic rules about the LineDef.
 Controls what happens or can happen.

ayImpassable

 Line is impassable for players and monsters.

ayMonster Block

 Line is impassable for monsters only.

ayTwo-Sided

 Line has 2-sides. The line is assumed "trans-
 parent" and Doom will show the area past the
 line. If this flag is not set and if there is
 no Normal texture, you will get HOM.

ayUpper Unpegged

 For 2-sided LineDefs draw the Upper texture
 from the top down. Normally they are drawn
 from the bottom up.

ayLower Unpegged

 For 2-sided LineDefs draw the Lower texture
 from the bottom up.

 Unpegged textures for 1-sided LineDefs draw
 the Normal texture from the bottom up.

 A bPegged texture moves with a Sector that
 moves. Pegged textures follow the lower
 ceiling.

 An bUnpegged texture does not move with a
 Sector that moves, it is stationary.

 Unpegging textures is useful for making the
 textures blook good. For example, if a
 stair is visible from the side, unpegging the
 the lower texture aligns the textures to the
 bottom floor.

aySecret

 A bSecret (red on the Automap) hides what's
 behind it (does not show up on the Automap.
 It is not related to the secret areas. Those
 are set by the Sector. Makes it difficult to
 identify areas. (So players can't figure out
 your trap!)

ayBlocks Sound

 Monsters can't hear you shoot! Surround the
 entire area with this flag set so they can't
 hear you. Should speed up a game with many
 monsters if done correctly.

ayInvisible

 This line is never put on the Map.

ayAutoMapped

 This line is always shown on the Map.


ybEdit the 1st SideDef

 Set the textures and connects it to a Sector
 (for floor/ceiling information). Use this to
 fix bad sector references that cause "Sector
 not closed messages".

 Normally you may have a requirement to switch
 the sectors assigned from one side to the
 other, for example, when you flip a LineDef.

 You also use this to assign the correct sector
 number of an object inside a room. That is,
 change the Sector number of the SideDef to
 match the Sector of the room.

x           yInterActive Browser

 Press F1 when in the texture selection box to
 bring up a display of all the textures. You
 can interactively select the texture by
 left mouse clicking or using the cursor keys
 to move around.

 The following keys control the browser:

 1. PageUp/PageDown keys move back and forth.
 2. Home = Start with first texture.
 3. End  = Start with last set of textures
 4. Any character, starts the list with the
    any name that is closest to the character
    entered. For example, if you key in a bG,
    textures whose names start with G come
    first. If no match is found, the closest
    one starts the list.
 5. Escape or Right Mouse click exits the list
    and no changes are made.
 6. Enter selects the current outlined entry.

 If you press a key while the textures are
 still displaying, the display stops. If you
 did this by accident, press the first char-
 acter of the texture to start redrawing.

ayAdd a 1st SideDef

 This appears (instead of Edit) if no SideDef1
 exists for the LineDef. A SideDef1 must exist!

ybEdit the 2nd SideDef

 Set the textures and connects it to a Sector
 (for floor/ceiling information).

ayAdd a 2nd SideDef

 This appears (instead of Edit) if no SideDef2
 exists for the LineDef. A SideDef2 is
 optional.

aySector Tag

 A Sector Tag is a number that connects a
 LineDef to a Sector with the same Tag number.

 For example, a door with a switch has a Line-
 Def (type = Switch Door) and a Sector with the
 same Tag number. This causes the assigned
 Sector to move (and not some other Sector).

 More than one Sector can have the same Tag
 number, they will all move at the same time!

ay1st SideDef ref
ay2nd SideDef ref

 You use this to delete a SideDef or change
 the reference (be careful). You always need a
 SideDef1!

 If you end up with a 1-sided LineDef, edit the
 LineDef and change the type to 1-sided.

 If you delete all the -same- side SideDef
 reference for a surrounded area, you can
 select them all and then press Ins to
 recreate them all with a new Sector.

ayTexture Browser

 Display as many textures on the screen as will
 fit as determined by your video resolution.

 Press Esc or Right mouse click to stop.

 Press the first character of the texture to
 start the display with textures starting with

y           bFirst Time Initialization

         Please Enter the file names for:

              1. The Main IWAD name
              2. The File path
              3. The Help File name

           On the next screen, press
                  5,6 and 7
           (or click with the mouse)

 This screen is entered when one of the the following
 files is either not present or is an old version:

 NOTE: The maximum path name is 43 characters!

yx1. The main IWAD file

    On the next screen press the number 5 (or click
    the box with the 5 in it) and enter the name of
    your DOOM, DOOM II or HERETIC file.

    Enter the complete path including the drive and
    directory.

    DeeP example:

            C:\DOOM2\DOOM2.WAD     for DOOM2

    HeeP example:

            C:\HERETIC\HERETIC.WAD for HERETIC

    These are the default values, so you do not need
    to change them if they match your system. Do not
    put the name of the HERETIC IWAD in DeeP or visa
    versa.

    Use DeeP for DOOM/DOOM2 and HeeP for HERETIC.

    If you have installed DOOM/HERETIC on a different
    Drive or directory, change them as required.

    Use the cursor keys to edit. The Home key moves
    the cursor to the front of the entry.

yx2. Set the PATCH patch

 NOTE: The maximum patch path length is 26 characters.

    On the next screen press the number 6 (or click
    the box with the 6 in it).

    This is not a file, but represents the default
    directory to use for reading or saving PWAD files
    and also the default for the DIR command for the
    registered version.

    If no name is entered, the default directory is
    the current directory.

    Please TEST your path with a file save before you
    continue! (The path will be automatically checked
    in a later version, sorry, but the DPMI has
    different requirements, so the old code wouldn't
    work.)

yx3. The Help File name

    On the next screen press the number 7 (or click
    the box with the 7 in it) and enter the name of
    the DEEP and HEEP help file. You normally should
    not have to do this!

    If you place DEEP and HEEP in different direct-
    ories and want to save on disk space you can
    share the same help file. This entry points to
    the shared copy. Enter the complete path as
    above.

yx4. The DEEP.CFG or HEEP.CFG file

    If old CFG file from a prior version of DEEP was
    found. Don't worry, a new one will be created.

    The DEEP.CFG or HEEP.CFG files can be deleted at
    any time and the defaults are recreated.

p    y description of all the entries.
