│ Documentation for TUTORIAL.WAD v2.15 │
│ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ │
│ │
│ This tutorial is divided into four parts: │
│ │
│ Part I Seeing is believing! │
│ │
│ This covers a walk through of the tutorial wad. Please take │
│ a tour through the level. It makes the second part of the │
│ tutorial clearer. │
│ │
│ Part II Show and tell. │
│ │
│ The second half is designed to show you how to make simple │
│ objects, like a teleporter and lift. It uses the tutorial │
│ wad for reference. │
│ │
│ Part III Some more examples │
│ │
│ The third part is an overview of the level DEEPEXAM.WAD. │
│ It is an example of a level drawn using the predefined │
│ Tools in DeeP. │
│ │
│ Part IV HEXEN information │
│ │
│ The fourth part is an introduction to the level SCRIPTS.WAD. │
│ It is an example of simple scripting using the ACCS compiler.│

We Need your Input!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don't always remember what I wanted to learn about as a beginner.
If there are parts that seem illogical or there are sections you would like
to see, by all means let me know, it will be appreciated.
See the "About" screen under Help for my email address. Please put
"DeeP tutorial" as the subject of your message.
Thanks and enjoy!

Which WAD to use
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Use the following PWADs depending on the game:
1. DOOM I : use DOOM1TUT.WAD.
2. DOOM II : use DOOM2TUT.WAD.
3. HERETIC : use HERTUT.WAD. (not included with this tutorial!)
4. HEXEN : use HEXENTUT.WAD. (!! This is a rough draft !!)
The DOOM I and DOOM II tutorials are covered here (HEXEN is similar, but
all the descriptions have not been changed).
You can make a HERETIC version using DeeP to convert the DOOM2 version.
** Note ***
The HEXEN version is similar to DOOM, but in some areas HEXEN has
mistakes. Some LineDefs do not behave properly. Anyway, the
upper left hand corner of the level, with the 3 floors do NOT operate
consistently. On top of that, they go the WRONG direction part of the
time *and* HEXEN may crash your system if the floor goes into "infinite
lower". Go figure...
The names of the Door keys are different, but the directions are OK.
The HEXEN version also has some simple scripts added for sounds and
a swinging door. The script is in HEXENTUT.ACS. The nodes were built using
a node depth value of 4, (8 works too) to give a better balanced tree.
Hey, this is a tiny level!
NOTE: Print out this documentation before going through this level.
That way, you don't have to recall why certain structures are
important from memory.
Print out this map for reference before you begin editing with DeeP.
If you have MS Word, you can import the HGL file as described in
the online Help.
DOOM VERSION NOTE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This WAD file has only been tested on DOOM 1.9 and DOOM II 1.9.
Using any version lower than 1.9 may not give the correct results
when using a switch.
Not all triggers (both switch and walking) are in DOOM 1.4 and lower.
If you have a DOOM version lower than 1.666, this WAD will not work.
This wad will work on any version of DOOM 2, although I recommend
downloading the 1.9 patch anyway to avoid problems.

│ PART ONE: WALKTHROUGH │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
To see the tutorial levels in the game, type one of the following:
DOOM -FILE {DeeP directory here}\DOOM1TUT.WAD <---- DOOM I
DOOM2 -FILE {DeeP directory here}\DOOM2TUT.WAD <---- DOOM II
HEXEN -FILE {DeeP directory here}\HEXENTUT.WAD <---- HEXEN
{DeeP directory here} refers to your DeeP directory and this PWAD location.
For example, if DeeP is stored in C:\DEEP, you would type:
DOOM -FILE C:\DEEP\DOOM1TUT.WAD
Start a normal game of DOOM and you will be in the tutorial.
The First Room
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Four Switches
-----------------
The first room of this WAD contains four switches, which are in front
of you. In order to observe what the switch does, position yourself to
face the southwest corner. This way you'll see what is going on.
Switch One
----------
Use the far left switch (switch 1), it lowers the floor to the
neighboring floor (you are presently standing on the neighboring floor).
Switch Two
----------
The switch second from the left affects the pillar in the northwest
corner, so try to look at it when you use the switch.
Using this switch lowers the pillar in the northwest corner until it
is 8 units above the neighboring floor (again, the floor you are standing
on).
Switch Three
------------
The switch second from the right will raise the ceiling to eight units
below the neighboring ceiling.
Switch Four
-----------
Finally, the switch on the far right will raise the ceiling of the two
southern blocks to eight units below the neighboring ceiling.
Two New Teleports!
------------------
By using the two middle switches you will reveal two teleports, one in
the northwest corner and one in the northeast corner. Walk onto either
one of these teleport pads. You are transported to the other teleport!
Oh, it's possible to leave one pillar "down" and teleport inside of
it. Of course you are stuck. Use the following clip code to get out:
casper - HEXEN
idspispopd - DOOM
idclip - DOOM II
Just type the word shown for the applicable game. Watch the top of the
screen! To reverse the action, type the same word again. This is the
normal way to play and test levels. This "cheat" code does not work in
death match (for obvious reasons<g>).
When you have finished observing the results of using these switches,
it's time to move onto the next room.
The three (see next) doors in this room will all take you to the same place.
Go through all three to see how doors work. Note that the door on the far
left requires that you press the switch.
A special kind of Door
----------------------
The fourth door is in DOOM2TUT.WAD and HEXENTUT.WAD only. This door is quite
interesting. It has a metal grate! Look at the way it is made, very unusual
construction, but that's what it takes to make a door like this wor
