Cheap DOOM, DOOM II, HERETIC Multi Player Game Setup Program v1.10 Beta
Copyright (C) 1995, Colin Holywell
This is a replacement for SETUP.EXE (just for mutiplayer game selection)
and/or id's DeathManager. This program offers a much greater range of options
and flexiblity of the options. It offers Chat mode for Modem play (when
all ready connected) and Null-Modem games (soon, maybe). It passes the options
through a responce file instead of the command-line and can reuse the responce
file for later games saving you the hassle of having to select everything
again. Up to tem WAD files can be tagged and saved for later use. This does
NOT replace SERSETUP.EXE and/or IPXSETUP.EXE!
!!! This program is FREEWARE
!!! This is a Beta version so be on the look out for bugs.
!!! Chat mode is availible when Modem.AllreadyConnected is select just before
you select GameOptions. This has not been tested yet. Some one tell me if
it works. Chat mode for the null-modem might be added: Visual Basic
doesn't like to open the COM port when there is a null modem connected to
it.
!!! No testing has been done with the DOOM 1 version, and the HERETIC/sw
version. I have only tried a couple times. Most, if not all is done
with DOOM ][ v1.666.
Files:
=====
SETUP2.EXE - Main EXE
SETUP2.TXT - This file (duh?)
MYWAD.ZIP - Is the Deathmatch .WAD I made for DOOM ][
FILE_ID.DIZ - Describes file for BBS's
SETUP 2 will also create the files RESPONCE.TMP and WADLIST.TMP.
Background:
==========
v1.00
This first version was a load of crap. I wrote it because I needed
a program that would allow me to play Doom II in turbo mode and use
a WAD file over the modem. Since id's SETUP.EXE doesn't allow that.
v1.01
Added a couple of options and color.
v1.02
I got a Null-Modem cable! Added Network and Null-Modem support.
v1.03
Added allot of options.
v1.04
Added more color and a couple more options.
v1.05 Beta
Totally rewrote code. Added more options. All parameters that DOOM II
offers are used. (so I thought) Added summary of the options selected before
loading game. First public release!
v1.05 Beta_1
Contains versions for DOOM, DOOM II, and HERETIC. Installation program
and a copy of my deathmatch WAD for DOOM ][.
v1.06 Beta
Instead of passing options through command line it generates a file
called RESPONCE.TMP to pass to DOOM (or what ever game you use). It
can be deleted at any time. Ooooops, forgot to include developement
mode and IRQ: Fixed.
V1.07 Beta
Minor update: If RESPONCE.TMP exists it asks if you wan't to use
the options conatined in that file instead of retyping them all over
again. Docs changed a little bit.
v1.10 Beta
Now there is no need to have three different versions to use on Doom, Doom II
and Heretic. SETUP 2 will look for the .WAD file in the current directory. It
will work with the shareware versions too.
Removed INSTALL.EXE, DOOM.ZIP, DOOM2.ZIP and HERETIC.ZIP since
they are all included in one program. And now up to ten WAD files can be
tagged in a selection box and be saved for later use.
Futer Versions:
==============
v1.11 - Chat mode for Null-Modem, Visual Basic doesn't like to open the COM
port with Null-Modem on it.
v2.00 - Maybe....Popup windows, selection boxes etc... real neat graphical
stuff. Maybe a long time for this since it will take a while. Maybe
not at all.
Other Crap:
