WadAuthor v1.11.1
Copyright (c) 1995 Williston Consulting
All rights reserved
What's New?
-----------
Version 1.11.1 is a slipstream upgrade. I do not like to do
this, but I missed a couple of bugs that are too important to
avoid. Thus, the list of items changed from v1.11 follows.
Bug Fixes
---------
Fixed a GPF when saving an empty map.
Fixed a GPF when saving a map without any script code.
Fixed a GPF when exiting the script editing dialog without
compiling the code.
Fixed a bug with the tool customization initial directory
selection dialog that prevented it from working under
Windows95.
Enhancements
------------
Modified the HEXEN.WCF wadgame configuration file with the
correct parameters for the Floor_Waggle special.
Modified the HEXEN.WCF wadgame configuration file to allow
specification of number for all start things.
New Features
------------
Added code to outline things not currently visible based
on the current thing display settings.
Welcome to WadAuthor
--------------------
Thank you for trying WadAuthor! I hope you like using it as
much as I enjoyed creating it. The WadAuthor archive should
contain the following files:
ACC.EXE Action code script compiler
COMMON.ACS Common include file for scripts
DEFAULT.ACS Default script code for new wadfiles
DEFS.ACS Script definitions
DOOM.WCF Wadgame configuration file for DOOM
DOOM2.WCF Wadgame configuration file for DOOM ][
EX_GLASS.WAD Example of breaking glass effect (Hexen)
EX_POLYO.WAD Example of polyobject use (Hexen)
HERETIC.WCF Wadgame configuration file for HERETIC
HEXEN.WCF Wadgame configuration file for HEXEN
HEXSPC09.TXT Hexen official specifications v0.9
README.TXT The file that you are reading
SAMPLE.ACS Sample script code
SPECIALS.ACS Hexen specials declaration file
WARUN.EXE WadAuthor run map utility
WAUTHOR.EXE 32 bit Windows/NT Windows95 executable
WAUTHOR.HLP Windows help file
WAUTHOR.WCL Software license file
WAUTHR16.EXE 16 bit Windows 3.x executable
WVARS.ACS World variable script declarations
If any of the files are missing, you did not get the real thing.
To get started, simply select an executable appropriate to your
operating system and run it. WadAuthor will ask you for any
configuration data it needs.
If you are a newcomer to wadfile editing, I strongly suggest
taking a look at the helpfile "Getting Started" and "Tutorial"
topics before diving in. WadAuthor is simple to use, but it
does require some knowledge of wadfile concepts.
Installing WadAuthor
--------------------
If you are installing WadAuthor for the first time, simply unzip
the archive into the desired directory -- that's all there is to
it. If you are updating a pre-existing WadAuthor installation
with a new version, you need to copy all files except WAUTHOR.WCL.
Copying the license file will lose your registration information.
WadAuthor is shareware
----------------------
WadAuthor is *not* free. You may use it free of charge for a
period of fifteen days. After this period of time I expect you
to register the product or remove it from your system. Consult
the helpfile "Registration" topic for further information.
I encourage you to distribute the original WadAuthor archive
freely as long as the following conditions are met:
1) You distribute the original un-modified archive.
2) You charge nothing.
Interested shareware distributors may contact me at my email
address for alternative agreements.
Happy gaming!
