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 texture files, you will
    exceed the file limit of 42. The solution is to
    read in 42 textures at a time and then group them
    into a new file.

    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            Note/Definitions

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 or HERETIC 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
ybDOOM.

 Example : bDOOM -file myown.wad -warp level#
          (level# represents a number)


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.


                  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.)

 Another common use of transparent LineDefs is to
 highlight an area or simulate lighting. You can draw
 letters in the "sand" or anything else you dream of.
 There are no walls, so all you can see if the floor
 and ceiling. If the floor and ceiling are different
 from the surroundings, they "stand out".

 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
 it off, you can make it slippery too!


pyPlease See Sector Not Closed in Check for more
py              information.



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. After the first display all the
 images are cached for improved performance.


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 (can also 'Tutti Frutti').

 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'). Typically 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. If you see a "flash" you may have too many
     different upper textures visible in the line of
     sight. For example, creating stairs with over
     16 steps with different ceiling heights may
     produce this symptom.

     Areas with large numbers of directly visible
     walls are the most prone to this error. This
     also give visi-plane overflows!

 11. 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. The connection is required so
 that the LineDef knows what Sector you're talking
 about.

 Question: 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 tag number in a Sector. The tag number
 in the LineDef and the Sector are the same.

 The tag in Sector is called a LineDef tag. It refers
 to the tag number in a LineDef. The tag number in
 the Sector and the LineDef are the same.

 Each Tag number is unique, that is, it is not used
 by any existing LineDef/Sector. (You can have one
 LineDef tag point to multiple Sectors, but for now,
 we are assuming you are starting from scratch.)

 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
 anywhere.

 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            MAP 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.

 See Color Options (press F1 in that menu ) for a
 definition of all the colors on the map.


p          y
p          y  Design and Shaping of Areas
p          y

 Note: This area is an overview of design and shaping.
 Review each command for specific instructions.

 You should have a bPLAN before you start drawing.
 This will minimize the amount of work you have to
 do. Even for first time users, decide what area you
 are going to modify and what your goal is.

 We suggest modest goals and don't try to immediately
 make doors and teleports. Instead, make a room
 larger and extend the walls some. Learn about the
 difference between walls with only 1 side and those
 with 2 side. For example, on 1-sided walls you can
 use any of the textures, but on 2-sided walls use
 only the textures that say "TRANSPARENT".

 You can change your mind, but it's like building
 a house. If after you build a house and you decide
 the bathroom doesn't belong there, you have the tear
 it all down along with some adjoining structures, so
 you can see the mess you might get into!

 Any Intricate design is made in Vertex mode. Press
 Ins (or quick double Left mouse click) and start
 drawing! Draw clockwise for rooms and counter-clock
 wise to make objects in rooms. Most of the details,
 such as Sectors and SideDefs will be made for you
 as you progress.

 In the next stage you start tuning your level by
 changing the heights of floors and ceilings. At this
 step, you have to add textures for the walls that
 are exposed from differences in heights. DeeP can
 automatically supply missing textures, but this is
 only for beginners. It has no idea what the scene
 should look like, so use the check instead and make
 it as you intended.

 You can also create predefined shapes such as
 rectangles, polygons, stairs and teleports using
 the F9 (Object) menu. This is called bTOOL mode.
 There are also Pools, Pedestals/Boxes, Windows and
 Teleport pads available.

 bTOOL mode is productive for both the beginner and
 the expert. It gets rid of the work and gets you to
 the creative part of your design quicker!


 In bTOOL mode, the objects can be drawn to size
 and placed anywhere by using a combination of mouse
 buttons and keys.

 Press F1 help when using the Tool for more details.

 Objects made using the Object menu are meant to be
 SEEN and have most of the required textures when
 created. You may have to supply additional textures
 depending on the final heights of everything. The
 check menu can do this automatically.

 Rectangles and polygons made from the Mode menu (or
 from quick double Right clicking mouse menu), are
 meant to supply floor and ceiling textures for
 Room effects. They are created as 2-sided with no
 textures when made inside an exisiting Sector.

 These can be made into objects if you change the
 floor and ceiling heights and add the required
 textures.

 Design and shape areas after they are made by drag-
 ging the vertex points (using the right mouse
 button) to any location. This is the most flexible.
 In LineDef and Sector mode (read on), lines and
 areas are dragged/shaped.

  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.

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.
   (What are you going to do with 1 vertex?)

   If you select 2 vertexes and then press Ins, a
   LineDef is created connecting the 2 vertices.
   No Sidedefs or Sector is made. You are then
   asked if you want to Split the Sector or make
   a 2-sided LineDef.


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!

   bSplitting a Sector takes the area on one side of
   the line just created and assigns all LineDefs
   a new Sector number (this is automatically
   created and is a copy of the original one).

   In this manner you can quickly change an area and
   make the new (or old) sector have a new behavior
   without changing the rest of the area.

   The "split" LineDef has to be drawn following the
   conventions for Sectors. So follow the flow of the
   existing area. A message will come up if it fails
   for any reason.

   b2-sided Linedefs are commonly used for "triggers"
   to activate a Sector somewhere else when you walk
   across them.

   Do NOT split a sector if you don't know what that
   means right now. It will get very confusing!


p                  yFinish/End

   There are 4 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.

      Tracing over an existing LineDef is automatic
      if you think ahead a bit and end up where the
      last LineDef made automatically will "cross"
      over the existing LineDef.

   2. Press Shift+Right button to close the last
      LineDef (if you haven't made a complete loop)
      and EXTEND an area if Sector Join is OFF.

      A new SideDef1 is created for each line drawn
      and they all share the SAME Sector as the one
      used by the LineDef shared.

      The opposite is true, if Sector Join is ON.

      (Draw over only 1 LineDef).

   3. 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 (the thin part) 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. You delete SideDef2 by
      changing the reference number to -1 (that's
      deleting it).

   4. 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 ahead of time.

   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 (rarely as you get better).

   Holding the Left mouse button for over 2/10* of
   a second and then releasing it also clears.

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

   All the objects selected are cleared.

   This also cancels Vertex insert mode. NO SideDefs
   or sectors are created!

yrF    Repeat last Find or Change

yrG    Change the grid scale

   A grid is a series of squares on the screen. They
   are visible if the grid is not hidden. Use H to
   view/hide.

   A grid size that result in a screen size of less
   than 4 pixels is never shown. When the 4 pixel
   limit is reached, the visible grid fluctuates in
   size and changes to dark-gray.

   If Snap-to-Grid is active (see /) and the grid size
   is not 0, each vertex coordinate is rounded to a
   multiple of the grid. For example, if a vertex has
   coordinates of x=121, y=22 and the grid size is 8,
   the final coordinates are : x=128 , y=24. That
   example was for Vertex mode.

   Tool mode also snaps to the grid. So you will see
   the objects "jumping" on the screen as you move.

   In the Line and Sector editing modes, coordinates
   are only shifted in increments of the grid. To
   force them into alignment would cause a lot of
   grief (Vertices could be overlaid)!

   Grid is use recommended when linedrawing. It auto-
   matically aligns objects the grid (if Snap-to-Grid
   is active). When using the Tools you may wish to
   turn it off ( / key command) to make the object
   more controllable. Also when performing some detail
   work, such as placing vertices on top of an
   existing line, it is easier if Snap-to-Grid is OFF.

   If the original LineDef or Sector was not aligned,
   switch to Vertex mode to align each Vertex.

   TIP: If you have a Sector object and you want to
   force it into the grid coordinates (meaning the
   vertices will "snap" to points) do the following:

   1. Select the Sector by left clicking (in Sector
      Editing mode of course).

   2. Switch to LineDef mode (L), now all the LineDefs
      are selected.

   3. Switch to Vertex mode (V), now all the Vertexes
      are selected ready for your commands!

   (Note: you have to bmove past 1/2 the grid size
   to make it snap, so move "too far" and move back.)

   A grid size of 8 is recommended for most work. Use
   a larger grid when making beginning large areas or
   when making Teleports (for floor texture alignment).

a       w Left Button has multiple uses

yrLeft button

 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.

    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.

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

yrshift+Left button  (see bctl+C)

   Copies the current selected object(s) to the
   current cursor location.

   bshift+Left Mouse button, bO and bctl+C are all
   the same.

yrctl+Left button    (see bctl+M)

   Mirrors the current selected object(s) to the
   current cursor location.

   A mirrored object is created as if a mirror
   was placed at the current cursor location.

   bctl+Left Mouse button and bctl+M are the
   same.


a       w Right Button has multiple uses

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 using the Left Mouse drag
    selection box), 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. Drag tool object.

    When creating a Rectangle, Polygon or Stair from
    the Tool menu (not from Objects), pressing the
    Right mouse button drags the object over the map.

    In rotate mode, the Right mouse button drags the
    whole map .

 4. 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
    Edit.


yrRight button Insert Vertices/LineDefs

   Press the Right button to stop inserting vertices
   and drawing LineDefs in Vertex mode (see above).
   The LineDefs are automatically closed. Press bEnd
   if you do not want to close the LineDefs.

   In this mode only, rShift+Right button connects
   the area drawn to the Sector whose LineDef you have
   shared. Use this to extend areas using the same
   Sector. (The opposite is true if Sector Join is
   ON.)

   (Draw over only 1 LineDef).


yrShift+Right button   (see bDel)

   Delete the selected object(s).

   For Vertex mode only, the Vertex and all connected
   LineDefs are Joined OR if the VertexDel Join option
   is turned OFF, the Vertex and all connected
   LineDefs are deleted (see VertexDel).



y            b
y            b Mouse buttons in Menus
y            b


yrLeft button

   Select the current name or number when
   the mouse is in the objects window.

yrRight button

   Cancels the currently selected menu when
   clicked outside the area.


y                b
y                b Menu Selections
y                b

 Items from a menu can be selected three different
 ways:

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.


y              b
y              b Automatic Selection
y              b   Difficulties
y              b

 The first thing to do is increase the Magnification
 using the +/- keys, Z or the numbers. This makes it
 easier to see, the mouse movement is easier to
 control and DeeP automatically narrows the "search"
 for something.

 If you have automatic object selection turned on
 (bshift+A), 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]
      [-m <MainWadFile> ]
      [-f <PwadFiles>...]
      [-v <mode>]
      [-d new   ]

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.

yAll the overrides are bPERMANENT and do not need to
 be entered again each time (except for -n).

 All of these options can be set with altF5, this is
 for those that like to do it this way also and also
 to support different environments via custom batch
 files.

yExample :
yb-MAIN 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).
    This is also set in the alt+F5 menu.

    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.


yb-d new (driver)

    Change the video driver. Use this if the VESA
    driver does not work. Select the driver that
    describes your video card. If the video card is
    not listed, try to determine the chipset of the
    video card.

    Also use UNIVBE to try to emulate VESA! Find the
    latest version (5.1) if 5.0 does not work.

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 processors, 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 value,
 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 specification "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 appended
y 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 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. It works with all
 the original levels. Be sure you run the complete
 check on a level before you build nodes!

 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 or if
 we create too many steps in a spiral staircase.

 If you get visi-plane overflows, build a "floor to
 ceiling wall" to restrict your line of sight in the
 area that caused the problem.

 If you run into bHOM errors, reduce the number of
 LineDefs and simplify the area. Play the level and
 see where you can reduce the number of visible level
 differences without making a big impact.

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

 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).

 Upon exit, you return to DeeP and everything is
 restarted if you set the option to reload (see Edit
 help).

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. Prompt you 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 Word's About Screen
 for the version number).

 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 printing!

y                b

  There are two buffers available:

  1. The bClipBoard buffer contains a copy of
     the last object Copied, Mirrored or Deleted.

  2. The bUndo buffer contains a copy of the
     level prior to performing any command that
     changes the level.

 Note: The following ctl+ commands are the same
 as used in MS Word and other programs. This
 makes it easy to remember for those familiar
 with those programs, however, if you have never
 used them, it may appear "strange". The keys are
 grouped next to the Ctrl key and are easy to
 combine for most of us <g>.

yrctl+B  View ClipBoard

  Displays an image of the current object(s) in the
  clipboard (including Things). This is the data
  copied with the Paste (ctl+V) command.

yrctl+C  Copy objects  (same as O)

  Copy the selected objects to the bClipBoard.

  You should always try to get complete objects, that
  is, they should form a closed loop (see Paste
  below).

  Teleport Things are always copied when in Sector
  mode. If you move (by dragging) a Teleport landing
  Sector (destination), be sure that the Teleport
  thing stays with the Sector.

  If you are not in Sector mode or if the drag Things
  option is not enabled, Teleport things are NOT
  moved. The F10 check will catch this as a missing
  Teleport thing.

  bshift+Left Mouse button, bO and bctl+C
  are all the same.

  In Sector mode, Things are also copied if the
  Move Things option (alt+F5) is turned on.

yrctl+M  Mirror the object(s) selected

  Mirrors the current selected object(s) to the
  current cursor location (also see Paste).

  A mirrored object is created as if a mirror
  was placed at the current cursor location.

  There are 8 possible mirror forms of an object.
  An imaginary box is drawn around the object(s)
  to mirror. The boundaries of the box decide what
  form the mirrored object is to take.

  Suggestion: Before you mirror an object, check
  the level otherwise you will copy the object,
  defects and all.

  In Sector mode, all the LineDefs with the same
  sector are mirrored.

  In LineDef mode, only the LineDefs marked are
  mirrored. Sectors are created as required. It
  is possible that the area is "not closed" since
  you can select incomplete areas.

  bctl+Left Mouse button and bctl+M are all
  the same.


yrctl+V  Paste objects

  Copy the objects in the bClipBoard buffer to the
  current cursor location.

  Use bctl+B to view the contents of the ClipBoard
  buffer.

  Place the mouse where you want the pasted object(s)
  to appear, then press ctl+V.

  The objects can be pasted inside an existing sector
  or placed in a new area. The resulting object Line-
  Defs are adjusted according to the destination
  sector.

  1. Placing objects in an existing sector.

     Be careful that the COMPLETE object(s) is
     enclosed by the destination sector (actually the
     LineDefs surrounding the object(s). If some
     parts stick out, the resulting object may have
     incorrect LineDefs!

     The exterior LineDefs of the object(s) are
     adjusted to point to the destination sector.
     Sidedefs are added as required to complete the
     object.

  2. Placing objects in a new area (no sector is
     there).

     The exterior LineDefs of the object(s) have the
     SideDefs deleted as required, since no exterior
     sector is present anymore. This one can present
     the most amount of "fixing" required if the
     source object is in pieces.

  NOTE : If you somehow fool DeeP into thinking that
  you are in a Sector and you are not, move to an area
  to outside the boundaries of the Map. Paste or
  Mirror there and then drag the objects back. This
  can happen if you have partial construction else-
  where in the level. (Can also work in reverse, it
  detects no Sector and you think there is!)

  If you Paste/Mirror where DeeP thinks there is a
  Sector, but you meant for it to be a new area, the
  Exterior LineDefs are not correct. Same thing for
  the opposite case.

  If you surround them by a new area, then you are OK.
  All you have to do is change the outside LineDefs
  (sidedef) sector references to your new sector. But
  if that's true, you should have made the target area
  first and then Pasted into the area!


yrctl+X  Cut objects (same as Del).

  Deletes all the selected objects. The type of
  objects deleted vary by Edit mode.

  A copy of the object is placed in the bClipBoard.

  Vertex mode: Depending on the VertexJoin Del option,
  either deletes the vertex and joins the connected
  LineDefs or deletes the vertex and all LineDefs
  using the vertex (set in alt+F5 option).

  LineDef mode: Delete the linedef and all vertexes if
  the vertexes are not in use by any other Linedef;

  Sector mode : Delete a Sector, all the linedefs and
  vertices (as above) that reference the sector(s).

  Things are also deleted if the Move Things option
  (alt+F5) is turned on.

  Teleport Things are always deleted when in Sector
  mode.

  All the deleted items are put in the bClipBoard
  buffer. If you immediately change your mind, use
  ctl+Z to undo the delete. If you have done other
  changes, but have not reused the paste buffer, you
  can use ctl+V to paste the object back, although you
  may have to "connect" some part manually.

yrctl+Z  Undo, restore level to prior state.

  There is only one level of Undo. If you repeat
  the command, it flips between the new and prior
  states.

  Most commands that change the map geometry make
  a copy of the level before the change is made.

a              y
a              y  Paste / Mirror Notes
a              y

  For some situations manual correction is necessary.
  The most common one occurs if 2-LineDefs point to
  each other, for example:

              │ sd2a   sd2b │
             ─┤             ├─
              │ (sector 3 ) │

  Assume the sd2a is some sidedef2 that points to
  sector  3 and sd2b is another sidedef2 also
  pointing to sector 3. If you copy the LineDefs that
  contain those those sidedefs, DeeP may think that
  sd2a and sd2b are OK since the both point to the
  same sector.

  This is not always correct on outside boundaries.
  If they came from a section that looked like this:

      ┌─────────────────┬──────────────────┐
      │     Some Sector /LineDef area      │
      │                                    │
      │          ┌──────┴──────┐           │                                    │
      ├─         │    sd2c     │          ─┤
      │          │             │           │
      │         ─┤sd2a     sd2b├─          │
      │          │             │           │
      └────┴─────┘ (sector 3 ) └─────┴─────┘

  In the above example, sd2a, sd2b, sd2c were
  originally a separate area all sharing the same
  sector 3.  DeeP will fix sd2c, since if no sector
  3 is found looking "South", but sd2a and sd2b look
  OK (as mentioned earlier).

  If the source object (in the Clipboard or from the
  selected objects for Mirror) is not complete, that
  is, some parts (LineDefs) are missing, DeeP attempts
  to determine what to do.

  If the object(s) selected have an open area between
  their own LineDefs (such as a spiral stair), they
  will appear as a "good" sector to DeeP, as noted
  above, but that sector was originally the sector
  that the object(s) came from.

  So adjust as required, by deleting those areas that
  DeeP could not determine as valid or ADD the
  missing sector by completing the pasted object(s)
  and correcting the LineDefs and Sector references.


ybAdd Object (Same as bIns key)

 If you insert multiple Sectors at the same location
 they are deleted when you run the Xref check (if
 you never use them.

 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/LineDefs.

    if 1 vertex is selected, the next vertex is auto-
    matically 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 character-
    istics 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
    priorvertex.

    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 the Right Mouse button).

    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 grid misaligns it.

a           y Splitting Lines

    If you place a vertex directly on top of an
    existing line, the line is automatically 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 LineDefs (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 LineDefs
 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.

 For Vertex mode only, the Vertex and all connected
 LineDefs are Joined OR if the VertexDel Join option
 is turned OFF, the Vertex and all connected
 LineDefs are deleted (see VertexDel).


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. It also controls the Things selected
 by a selection box drawn around the Things.

 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.

a   wAll the options below are saved in the file
a   wDeeP.Cfg. This file is automatically created
a   wthe first time you start DeeP. If this file
a   w gets damaged, delete it and restart DeeP!

ybTexture Defaults    F5

 Changes the default values for wall, floor, ceiling
 textures for the different type of objects and floor
 and ceiling heights (press F1 when selected for more
 information).

ybLoad Options/Etc altF5

 Changes the default values for the video resolution,
 files, and various startup options. Press F1 in this
 selection to see more help.

ybZoom/Mouse/Map Opt F6

 Set your preferences for the following :

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
 │  5 │ \\\, 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.


ybMouse/LineColors altF6

 This sets the colors for many items, including the
 mouse and map line colors.

 Press F1 in the Color Option menu for more
 information.

yb Palette Colors altF7

 Select and set the color value for the primary color
 selections. This changes the values available in
 Mouse/Line Colors above.

 Press F1 help in Palette menu.

 Changes the default values for wall, floor, ceiling
 textures for the different type of objects and floor
 and ceiling heights.

 Edit these to suit your taste. When you follow a
 theme, you may want to make the defaults follow your
 main idea. For example choose stone defaults for a
 castle theme.

 The textures values for DOOM are for DOOM II. Adjust
 the values for DOOM.

 Any textures can be used for walls with only 1-side.
 For walls with 2-sides, you have to be careful if
 you use textures on BOTH sides.

 Textures come in 2 flavors, single patch and multi-
 patch.  All textures start out (of course) as a
 graphic. If a texture is made from only 1 graphic,
 it is suitable for use anywhere.

 A texture made from a composite of other textures is
 called multi-patch. That means that a combination of
 graphics combine to make the texture you see. If you
 use the Picture command (end DeeP graphic mode and
 enter the character mode prompt) you see ALL the
 raw graphic elements of DOOM/HERETIC.

 Some of the textures look just like the walls
 textures, but the name is not the same. If the
 graphic is exactly the same, then that graphic is
 a single-patch for that texture.

 If you examine the others, you'll see that by
 combining them, you have the other textures. These
 composites are multi-patch textures.

 The texture selection box displays the number of
 patches for a textures to help you decide if the
 texture is suitable.

 The default textures are all 1-sided to keep
 beginners out of trouble with textures. Bad textures
 cause weird colors and a "freezing" of action. If
 you run the Check option, it will tell you where you
 have problems automatically.

 You can choose textures made up from a combination
 of other textures (patches), but you have to be
 careful not to use them where you have textures on
 both sides of a wall.


a                     y Ceiling

 The ceilings for objects are only used if you are
 making a Room. This is an object that is not inside
 an existing area. If an object is made inside an
 existing area, the current ceiling is used.


a                     y F_SKY1

 F_SKY1 is a special texture name results in the SKY
 textures used for upper Textures and Ceilings.

 Teleports objects look for this name. If F_SKY1 is
 used, the Teleport ceiling is also set to F_SKY1,
 not the default value.


a                  y Texture Sizes

 The floor and ceiling textures align on a 64x64
 grid. Most of the time you don't care. When you make
 small areas, the way the texture appears is decided
 by how it aligns on the grid.

 So for teleports, they look best if they align
 perfectly on a 64x64 grid.

 Walls have similar guidelines. Use the X-axis
 texture alignment to minimize the number of "lines"
 in a wall. For short walls it can make a big
 difference how good the walls look. Stairs are a
 good example.

 This is a judgement call and takes some experience
 to decide. This is normally done when you are
 finishing a level. One of the detailing steps!

 Top to bottom alignment is trickier. The simplest is
 to try and Unpeg the upper or lower texture (see
 the Unpegged discussion in LineDefs).

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

 For 2-sided LineDefs,unpegging the lower texture
 draws the Lower texture from the bottom up.

 The video support is changed by loading Deep -D new.

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

  If you have DeeP and HeeP in two different
  directories or have a customized help file,
  share the file with this entry.

  Normally do not change this entry.

aySector Join

  This is for Vertex LineDef drawing mode only.

  If this option is set, when you draw over an
  existing LineDef the Sector used by that LineDef
  is extended to the new area drawn.

  Press shift+Right Mouse button to override the
  setting.

  When this option is off, the opposite is true.
  Even if you draw over an existing LineDef, new
  Sectors are always created.

  To override this setting, press shift+Right Mouse
  button to join to the existing Sector.

  (Draw over only 1 LineDef).

ayVertexDel Join

  This is for Vertex mode only.

  If this option is set, the Del key deletes a vertex
  and joins the two LineDefs (on each side of the
  vertex) into one.

  If no LineDef is connected to the vertex, the
  vertex is always deleted.

  If this option is not set, the Del key deletes all
  LineDefs connect to the vertex.

  Press shift+Del to perform the opposite of this
  setting. For example, if this is Join is set, press
  shift+Del to delete the Vertex and the LineDefs,
  rather than joining them.

ayEnable Undo

  Normally you would not change this. This sets
  support for the ctl+Z Undo command.

  If you have a HUGE level, only 4MB of RAM and who
  knows what else, you may have to turn the Undo off
  so you have enough memory for other stuff.

ayMove Things

  Turn this on if you want Sector copies and deletes
  to also copy and delete the Things in the Sector(s).
  This takes a bit longer, depending on the machine
  and level size.

ayDrag Things

  Turn this on if you want Sector Dragging to also
  move the Things in the Sector(s). This takes a
  bit longer, depending on the  machine and level
  size.

  Dragging, drags only those Things in the same
  sector(s) you are dragging. If you have sectors
  within sectors, select them ALL to drag all
  Things!!

y               b   Tools

  All the tools create the type of object inter-
  actively on the screen.

  Rectangles or Polygons drawn directly from the
  mouse sub-menu draw different LineDefs compared to
  those drawn from the Object menu selected from the
  top menu bar.

  1. Shapes drawn from the mouse submenu:

     Tool shapes drawn inside existing areas make
     2-sided LineDefs with no textures.

     Tool shapes drawn outside existing areas make
     1-sided LineDefs with normal textures.


  2. Shapes drawn from the top Object menu:

     Regular Tool shapes drawn inside existing areas
     make 1-sided LineDefs with normal textures.

     Tool shapes drawn outside existing areas make
     1-sided LineDefs with normal textures.


  Move the Mouse to change the angle or size. Press
  F1 when using the Tool to see the appropriate
  commands to size the object.

  The Left mouse button is used to accept the object
  as drawn. bEnter also accepts the object.

  The Right mouse button drags the object on the map
  after it is shown. If no object is drawn yet, the
  right button cancels the Tool command.

  bEsc or bC also cancel the command.

  BE CAREFUL when making MANY SIDES! Sometimes you
  will get a visi-plane error. This is inconsistent
  and varies on when/how/where you play in the map.

  So sometimes it will play fine and sometimes it
  doesn't. Just depends on the sequence of events
  (a coding error in DOOM and HERETIC?)

  You should probably limit yourself to around 32
  stair steps and test those beyond that. We have
  built 200 steps, but the rest of the area was
  fairly empty. So try it and see what happens. The
  effort will be worth it.


y      b   LineDef & SideDef   L

 The following 2 character abbreviations are
 used in the LineDef type descriptions:

 The first letter :

 bD Door       - a door, duh..
 bS Switch     - a switch, same..
 bW Walk       - walk across to activate
 bG Gun        - shoot to activate

 The second letter :

 bR Repeatable - works every time
 b1 One time   - works only once


 The following abbreviations are used in the
 shortened type name :

 bO  Door stays open
 bC6 Door closes after 6 seconds
 bF  Door opens fast
 bS  Stays open when shot
 bCe Floor rises until it reaches the ceiling
 bNe Floor rises/lowers until it reaches floor
    height of adjacent Sector.
 bT  Same as Ne, but the texture and type of
    Sector are also changed.
 b<> Modifiers for Ne, Ce and T to indicate
    where the it stops, < means below a
    floor and > means above a ceiling.

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 rotation 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 rotation
    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 Linedef(s)
    that were previously connected to the vertex.

    If the VertexJoin option is enabled, the Del key
    does the same thing.

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 rotation
    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 (ctl+S)

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

    This is the same as bctl+S.

y8. b  Flip LineDef Vertex Only (ctl+F)

    Flips the LineDef(s) start and endpoints.

    This is the same as bctl+F.

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. Any textures
    that have the upper or lower texture unpegged are
    ignored.

y10.b  Align Textures (X Offset)

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

    Select a group of LineDefs that follow each other.
    Select in the direction the arrows point. The
    exact sequence doesn't matter, but the direction
    arrow of each LineDef has to go to same.

    Also each LineDef can connect to only 1 other
    LineDef at the start or end of the line. You
    can't have an "intersection" selected.

    The first one in the "chain" gets the initial
    offset value. The first one is the one you can
    SEE. The beginning has no arrow. The last LineDef
    in the list has the arrow.

    The 2nd SideDef is aligned in reverse, but still
    selected the same way. The sequence is auto-
    matically 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 pre-
    defined Door, if you prefer or Make a Door from
    a Sector (see Sector mode menu below).

    Select 4 LineDefs that will be come the 4 Door
    sides and then activate this function.

    The LineDefs, Ceiling height, textures, etc., are
    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────────────────
    │                                │

    ────────────────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 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 │
      some hallway  d─│   │─c
                      │ 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., are
    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 overlaying 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 rotation 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 sector.
    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... are modified accordingly.


y4.b  Make Door from Sector

    You can also use the Object menu to make a pre-
    defined Door, if you prefer or Make a Door from
    4-LineDefs (see LineDef mode above).

    Select the Sector that will be come the Door and
    then activate this function.

    The Sector choosen should be between 2 other
    Sectors. The original layout should resemble the
    following:
                        a
  ...──────────────>────┬───>──────────────...>
        sector     │ sector │   sector
          1      d─│    2  ─│c    3
                   │        │
  <...─────────────<────┴───<──────────────....
                        b
    Please note:

    1. LineDefs a and b are 1-sided.
    2. LineDefs c and d are 2-sided.
    3. All the linedefs go clock-wise.

    If you do not have it exactly as shown, messages
    appear telling you what's wrong. The most common
    one is forgetting to have one only 1 sidedef for
    a and b. The resulting message explains that you
    have too many door sides.


y5.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 sectors in
    between and then distribute the result across the
    floor heights of the inbetween 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!

y6.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!

y7.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 light-
    ing 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

 Basic Rectangle, Polygons, and Stairs are made
 much easier using the new interactive drawing
 Tool for these objects.

 After the menu values are supplied, press the
 Left Mouse button to start drawing. Press the
 Left mouse button again to accept the object as
 show. Then repeat or press the Right Mouse button
 to stop (or press Esc, Cancel, L, S, T or V ).

 Rooms and objects created by the different methods
 available in DeeP vary in the default number of
 sides (SideDefs) and textures created. This area
 discusses those made using the Object menu.

 The default Object (wall) made using the Object
 menu has only 1 SideDef when drawn inside an
 existing Room and has textures. The other objects
 (see below) have 2-sides.

 Objects inside a Room drawn using the bMode menu
 selection (or the one you get when you quickly Right
 Mouse click) always are 2-sided with no textures.

 For all of these objects, you enter interactive Tool
 mode. You can alter the dimensions originally chosen
 by pressing +, -, cursor keys, PageUp/Down, Home/End,
 Ins/Del depending on the object.

 Press and hold the Right Mouse button to drag the
 Tool anywhere on the Map.

 Press F1 after entering Tool mode to see the various
 key choices.


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

 You can change your mind about whether you are
 making a Room or Object after you start by moving
 the cursor into or out of a sector.

 Teleports and Doors must be inside a sector to work.

 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 beginning width and height (length) of the
 rectangle. After the selection is made, you enter
 interactive Rectangle drawing with the default
 values selected.

 You can change them. Press the Left mouse button
 to accept the object and DeeP automatically inserts
 the Vertices, LineDefs+SideDefs, and Sector where
 shown.

 This is adding a rectangular room.

 NOTE: After you exit this Tool, if you press "Ins"
 for the new selected rectangle, a new Sector is
 created outside the rectangle and the walls are
 made 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 beginning number of sides and radius of
 the polygon. After the selection is made, you enter
 interactive Polygon drawing with the default
 values selected.

 You can change them. Press the Left mouse button
 to accept the object and DeeP automatically inserts
 the Vertices, LineDefs+SideDefs, and Sector where
 shown.

 You can create anything from a triangle to a 64
 sided polygon.

 This is adding an N-sided room.

 NOTE: If you press "Ins" after inserting the
 polygon, a new Sector is created outside the
 polygon and the walls are made 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 = Plain Wall
     A wall or column

 1 = Sunken Pool
     A recessed floor area

 2 = Pedestal/Box
     A podium or a box

 3 = Light Box
     A pedestal hanging from the ceiling and a
     pedestal on the floor.

 4 = Wall Window
     A wall with a window slit.

 5 = Teleport Exit
     A 64x64x8 pad with the LineDef type set to
     Teleport. In LineDef connect all the LineDefs
     by setting the Sector tag number to a Teleport
     Entrance Sector. The one made with 6 would work!

 6 = Teleport Entrance
     A 64x64x8 pad with a Teleport Thing inserted.
     In Sector mode, connect using the LineDef tag
     number to a Teleport Exit LineDef. The one made
     with 5 would work!

 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 Plain Wall (0) or
 Teleports. Teleports always start at 8. You should
 not go over 24 if you want to walk on top of them.
 Of course you can have ones you jump into from a
 higher level. In addition, make sure the teleports
 align on a 64x64 grid, otherwise the texture may
 not be what you wanted.

 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 Plain Wall (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 are set to the Sector they are contained
 in. Think of this as inserting an N-sided pillar.

 NOTE: If you made a Plain Wall (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

 After you make a Teleporter pad you must connect the
 Teleport to the appropriate LineDef(s) or Sector.

 (You don't have to use the premade pads to teleport,
 any LineDef/Sector combination can teleport, this is
 a quick way to do it all- the Lights also look nice!)

 1. Teleport Exit

    a. Give "destination" bSector Tag.
    b. Go to the destination Sector and give it
       a bLineDef Tag that is the same Tag
       number you said the Sector Tag would be.
    c. Place a teleport Thing in the sector
       where you will materialize (done automatically
       for you in Teleport Entrance).

 2. Teleport Entrance

    a. Give "source" bLineDef Tag.
    b. Go to the source LineDef(s) and give it
       a bSector Tag that is the same Tag
       number you said the LineDef Tag would be.

    Adjust the Sector heights and texture to
    suit your design.

 3. Use the Pedestal feature to custom design your
    own pads.

    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
yreference. You need to complete the rtop step by
 connecting it the Sector desired.

 Switch to Vertex mode and place the last 2 vertexes
yon 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".

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 technically not closed, but if you can
 never reach it, no problem occurs. Some DOOM levels,
 for example, MAP14, have many of these.

 The Sector not closed message can also mean you have
 two (or more) LineDefs/Sectors in the same location.
 Please run the Xref check to automatically find
 these!

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

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


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

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

    Remember, we are trying to mimic a real 3-D room.
    If you look at a "real" room and place yourself
    next to a wall, what do you see when you look at
    the wall facing you?

    You see the floor and ceiling "connecting" to
    that wall. If the opposite wall did not have the
    same floor and ceiling (it had the floor and
    ceiling of the bathroom and you are in the living
    room) you have a "sector not closed". Simple!

    All the walls in a Room must have the same sector
    number describing the same floor and ceiling!

    You get errors by drawing and deleting areas and
    therefore implicitly changing the SideDefs (which
    contain the Sector numbers) and nothing matches
    anymore.

    As an experiment, go to a good existing level and
    change 1 of the SideDefs to be a different Sector,
    and you will get the infamous "not closed"
    message.

    You fix this by changing the reference Sector for
    the SideDef in LineDef edit mode. So fix the
    error you made above to see that this really
    works.

    Sometimes Sector errors are 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)!

    A quick recap:

    The enclosed area (room) described by the SideDefs
    must all use the same Sector number for the side
    that points to the room.

    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 numbers used. As you follow the Line-
    Defs,look at the bottom display and view the
    Sectors active.

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

 c. 2-sided LineDefs that are do not make a complete
    are (you forgot to finish it or perhaps they were
    all supposed to be deleted) can mislead the
    routine into reporting totally different Sectors
    as not closed. This is a tough one to spot, since
    the error is not at all where you are looking.

    Sectors at about 90 degrees to the line-of sight
    are good candidates.

 d. In some rare instances, there is not enough
    accuracy in the math-coprocessor to determine
    the Sector. Examinine the Sector pointed to. If
    you see a "good" Sector on both sides of the
    problem area, then everything is OK. This is
    fairly rare, so be sure to check the rest.
    (No level in DOOM, DOOM II or HERETIC has this
    problem.)


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. Ditto for duplicate 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/Sectors

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

 Check for Things outside of Sectors. It's possible
 in rare instances to misreport the sector.

 Check for Enemies/Players on the same skill level
 on top of each other.

 Check for Enemies/Players stuck to a wall. This
 depends somewhat on the Thing. Some things can be
 partially stuck and can "free" themselves. If you
 keep the outside "circle" away from the walls, you
 should always be OK.

 Check for any area with an Enemy/Player that is has
 a sector less than 56. Spawn spots and gargoyles are
 excluded for now. Some of the enemies require 64.
 That will be check later. This catches most anyway.

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 LineDef 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!  Should always be run to prevent
 Node building errors.

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 and determines if
 there should be a texture. Use the current default
 textures. If the wall 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.

 Describes basic rules about the LineDef. Controls

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 "transparent"
 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.

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. This is one of the methods used to fix
 "Sector not closed".


x                 yInterActive Browser

 Press F1 when in the texture selection box to bring
 up a display of all the textures. You can inter-
 actively 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 character 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 LineDef
 (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. F10
 Check will catch and fix it automatically.

ayDelete SideDef1
ayDelete SideDef2

 Deletes a SideDef. You always need a SideDef1!

 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 that
 character.

 If no texture starts with that character the closest
 prior one is shown as the first texture.

 Press + and - to choose from two display sizes.

 No changes to the map are made when browsing.

 at the same time. Usually from -512 to 512.

 The maximum distance between the floor and
 ceiling is 1023 for the older DOOM.

ybCeiling Height

 Set only the ceiling height.

 When you are changing many sectors, this lets you
 change all the selected ceiling height but leave
 the floors the same.

ybFloor Height

 Set only the floor height.

 When you are changing many sectors, this lets you
 change the all the selected floor height but leave
 the ceilings the same.

ybLineDef Tag

 This ties the sector (and how it behaves) to a
 LineDef with the same Tag number. A number here,
 implies a LineDef with the same number.

 DOOM will crash if you forget to tie the Tags
 together!

 In Sector mode, the Tagged LineDef is rRed and in
 LineDef mode the Tagged Sector is rRed.

            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.
