- The Lmp Fiddler Version 1.3
-
- By Ryan Robinson (robinson@aros.net)
- 9/30/1995
-
- Description: Lets you modify The lmp headers to change
- -Game Version
- -Skill
- -Episode
- -Map Number
- -Mode (Deathmatch, Altdeath, Co-op)
- -Respawn
- -Fast
- -Nomonsters
- -Viewpoint
- -Which players are present
-
- Also displays size, duration, and gametics.
- This is fully supportive of both "families" of lmp's (i.e. pre and post 1.4)
- You can convert between the families except where levels have changed, etc.
-
- Bug fixes since version 1.2:
- -You can now save changes in the original source file rather than needing
- to copy to a new file every time.
- -Not nearly as picky at command line parameters. You can use files with
- any extension, or even ones with no extension. It automatically adds
- ".lmp" if no extension is given.
- Just add a "." at the end of filenames for files with no extension.
- -Better organized display.
- -Now says skill, viewer, etc. rather than just numbers.
- -Now displays duration to the hundredth of a second. Whoopee.
-
- Usage syntax:
-
- lmp <source file> <target file or -edit>
-
- Source file: The lmp file to modify/copy/view
- Target file: The new lmp file to be created
- -edit: saves changes in source file
- -v just to view info (same as if you just put the source file)
-
- Please note: -edit will not work when converting to pre-1.4 from post-1.4.
- You probably will never need to convert to pre 1.4, but if you do, you will
- have to specify a different target file because the lmp would end up having
- two end bytes. (#128 or Ç) I don't know if this will mess up Doom, however.
-
- Please mail if you find any bugs or have any suggestions!
