REM Written/Analyzed by Wayne Sikes, K&W Computer Works.
REM
REM This file is part of the DOOMEZ package. It lets you play ANY
REM DOOM episode/mission with special powers and weapons YOU want by
REM performing the following functions. Note that this file runs DOOM in
REM single-player mode and no editing is done on modem players. See the
REM readme.doc file for info on editing modem save files.
REM 1) DOOM is called and setup for running in developmental mode.
REM You must pass into this batch file the episode, mission,
REM and skill level as command line parameters. Episodes are
REM numbered 1-3, missions 1-9, and skill levels 1-5 for DOOM1.2
REM and 1-4 for DOOM1.1. These parms are passed into the first
REM run of DOOM via the developmental -wart E M and -skill S
REM command line switches.
REM This will force DOOM to load your specified episode and
REM mission and will also setup for the passed-in skill level.
REM When DOOM finishes the initial game setup and you are given
REM the play screen, SAVE THE MISSION (via the F2 key) IN THE
REM TOP SAVE SLOT. This will force the mission to be saved in
REM file doomsav0.dsg.
REM 2) Control will be passed to the DOOMFIX routine. DOOMFIX will
REM open the doomsav0.dsg file and will edit it using the
REM DOOMFIX.CFG file commands. See the readme.doc file that
REM came with the DOOMEZ package for more info on customizing
REM the DOOMFIX run. DOOMFIX can edit MANY save file parameters.
REM DOOMFIX will tell you the save file parameters that have
REM been changed. When DOOMFIX is done, your doomsav0.dsg file
REM will have been edited and you are ready to play DOOM. Note
REM that DOOMFIX.EXE and DOOMFIX.CFG MUST be in your \doomdata
REM area if you are playing DOOM version 1.1. If playing DOOM
REM version 1.2, the DOOMFIX files must be in your \doom area.
REM 3) Lastly, DOOM will be called again, and the doomsav0.dsg file
REM will be passed to it via the developmental mode command line
REM switches. Play DOOM normally from here on. Notice that
REM you have lots of extra ammunition, health, etc! The only
REM time you'll need to rerun this batch file is when you want
REM to begin a new episode/mission that is out-of-series with
REM the missions you've just been playing.
REM
REM Because of the MANY save file setups for missions, the user is forced
REM to do this type of save file manipulation in order to play a custom
REM DOOM game while at the same time getting lots of neat extra goodies.
REM Of course, you can warp to any DOOM mission using the development modes,
REM and using the in-game cheat switches (iddqd, idbehold, etc.) you can get
REM special powers and ammo, but you still won't be able to make the
REM special changes required for getting the capability that DOOMFIX gives
REM you!
