Description: Wadload is a 4DOS batch file which greatly automates doom
solo or net playing with external PWADS. When you run Wadload,
you choose the PWAD from a list, specify solo or net [if net,
specify coop or death;# of players;port number], and you're
on your way. No more nasty command line parameters!!
Requirements: You need to be running 4DOS, which is an incredible replacement
for command.com. 4DOS, which was created by JP Software, P.O.
Box 1470, E. Arlington, MA 02174, USA (617) 646-3975, can be
obtained as shareware by ftp from ftp.std.com in /vendors/
jpsoft/4dos.
In order to run a netgame, you need to be running IPX, or have
the NWClient software (LSL, card driver, IPXODI) in a file
called startnet.bat.
Locations: Download Wadload as wadload.zip from infant2.shps.indiana.edu
in /pub/doom/incoming, and later in /pub/doom/misc/
Credits: To JP Software for providing such a fine piece of work as 4DOS.
To ASRE, for the utility Wadname v1.0 which I use here to auto-
load the episode and level numbers.
To Bob, Tim, Kern, Don, and Kerry (The Deathmatch Gang) for
usability testing and advice.
Instructions: a)IF you are not running Novell, make sure your ipx drivers
are in your PATH and in a file called "startnet.bat".
a)unzip wadload.zip in your root directory
b)move wadname.exe to your wads directory
c)put the following statements in your autoexec.bat and reboot:
1)SET DOOMDIR=_[path & directory where doom is located]
2)SET WADDIR=_[path & directory where your pwads are]
For example: SET WADDIR= D:\games\doom1_2\wads
3)IF you're running IPX, SET IPXON=Y
d)type wad
e)select wad from list, then if solo, just play. If net,
specify #players, death or solo, and port #, that's it.
