───── WadSort v0.99 beta
─────────
───── Pwad Files Co-ordinating System for DOOM
──────────────────────────────────────────────────
* Notice *
This program is in beta stage and is not guarantee to work on
every system, if it doesn't work on yours, please let me know.
Wadsort has been tested on my system for some time and is still
working fine. There are no obvious problems with Modem/Serial Play but
I have never tested it on a network. If anyone can kindly test it on a
network for me or report bug(s), I will be much appreciated :-)
* Installation *
Unpack the archive into any directory where you want Wsort to
locate. Then edit the configuration file to suit your personal needs
followed by the creation of a batch file to execute wsort recursively
- A sample is included in the archive.
* Execution *
At the command prompt, execute the batch file created earlier,
a window will pop out replacing whatever was on the screen originally.
This is the main window of WadSort and almost everything is gonna to
happen here. Select Pwad files by moving the selection bar along, in
order to inform Wadsort which pwad file to add , press space bar to
tag the entry. Wadsort supports up to 27 tag entries which means that
you can overlap the entire game of doom provided no Pwad overlaps each
other. Searching with scroll bars will exhaust you really quickly when
the number of Pwads is considerably large therefore, I have equipped
Wadsort with a searching routine and once you start fooling around with
your keys, you will soon recognize how it works. If you think you need
to check the pwad up, press enter and a window will pop-up showing what
you practically need to know . Once you are finished with your selec-
tion, proceed to the next window by pressing the key 'F10' where you
will find numerous switches for you to toggle. Suit yourself and press
F10 again.
It will be DOOM which is communicating to you if you prefer a
normal single-player game, otherwise it will be another pop-up window
about serial/network stuffs. To drop back to the previous window,
press ESC.
* Key Summary *
ESC - Go back to previous window or exit to DOS.
DEL - Delete all tagged Pwad entries, take care.
END - Place option bar at the last Pwad entry.
HOME - Place option bar at the first Pwad entry.
PGUP - Self-Explanatory.
PGDN - Self-Explanatory.
SPACE - Tag Pwad entries.
ENTER - Display Information on Pwads or Tag options.
ALT-U - Untag all tagged entries.
ALT-X - Exit to DOS.
ALT-Q - Exit to DOS.
ASCII (33 - 126) -
These keys are used by the searching routine mentioned earlier.
* Limitations *
1, A Maximum of 1024 Pwad files.
2, A Maximum of 27 ( 9 * 3 ) tag entries.
3, A Maximum of 5 Default Pwad files.
4, Support only Comport 1 - 4 and non-standard IRQ (set in config).
5, Only the first 15 characters of DOOM Savegame's description are
displayed for selection.
* Tips and Hints *
1, Turn off options like Respawn, NoMonsters ... will free up some
spaces in the command line buffer (Max. 127).
2, Make sure that option SERPARM and IPXPARM should end with an ENTER
(strictly speaking, a CR and a LF character) .
3, With DOOM version 1.5+ , the problem of insufficient space in the
command line buffer is insignificant.
4, It is ambiguous to tag DOOM's original Iwad, don't tag it.
