- Doom Help Service
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
- Zipped Help Library, 4th Edition, 2/4/94
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-
- The file doomhelp.zip contains eleven files that constitute all the
- information that my Doom Help Service Unlimited (heh heh) currently has to
- offer.
-
- This library contains information such as the FAQ, cheat codes, how to make
- .lmp demos, how to run Doom under windows, information on v1.2 and the PS/2
- mouse problem and so on.
-
- As many of the individual files say, if you have any comments/suggestions or
- extra useful information please email me at 'mapleson@cee.hw.ac.uk'.
-
- This library will updated periodically, when a reasonable number of
- significant changes have occured to one or more of the files.
-
- I hope you find something of use here, and that it adds to your Doom
- experience. Incidentally, I would be most grateful if, in the event you do
- actually use the zip file, you could email me to say what you found useful,
- and basically just to let me know that you used it - this is just so I know
- how many people this help is reaching. Thanks!
-
- Bye! :)
-
- Ian.

-
- How to Unzip the Library

-
-
- doomfaq5.5
-
- The Doom FAQ v5.5, written by Hank Leukart (ap641@cleveland.freenet.edu).
-
-
-
- doomchts.hlp
-
- A complete list of the Doom cheat codes and how to use them. Also
- included is a summary of controls that you can use in Map mode, and
- how to use the berserker box when you already have the chainsaw.
-
-
-
- ftpdoom.hlp
-
- A step by step guide on how to ftp shareware Doom from an ftp site.
- Especially useful if you're unfamiliar with ftp. This file contains
- a list of ftp sites to choose from (the same list that is in the
- Doom FAQ). It also shows how to install the game once you get the
- ftp'd file.
-
-
-
- demomake.hlp
-
- A complete step by step guide to making .lmp demo recordings of
- your Doom sessions, includes example command lines to demonstrate
- the various parameters. This file does NOT, however, contain
- information about making .lmps of modem/network playing sessions.
- if anyone wishes to send me a complete description of how to do
- this, feel free to email me.
-
-
-
- patchinf.hlp
-
- A file containing useful hints and tips on updating Doom v1.1 to
- Doom v1.2 using the 1.2 patch (much of the information in this file
- equally applies to the other patch files, such as the Shareware patch).
- This file won't solve all problems, but it will cover a large number of
- the most frequently encountered ones.
-
-
-
- notes1_2.hlp
-
- A file containing some notes and information on v1.2 compared to
- v1.1. This does NOT describe new features - it merely covers things
- such as saved-game compatibility, etc.. It has a description of the
- PS/2 psycho-mouse problem, some ideas on how to solve it, and a brief
- explanation of why it occurs.
-
-
-
- windoom.hlp
-
- A file that shows how to run Doom under Windows. Some people have found
- that running Doom under Windows cures the PS/2 mouse problem. How
- universal a solution this is I do not know, but one can only try it and
- see if it works. Note that running Doom under windows can create problems
- with trying to maintain sound support (especially on OS/2 systems). This
- help file DOES now have a section on getting the sound going (not written
- by me) but I would be grateful if, in the event you use this file, you
- tell me of any improvements/errors/suggestions/etc that you have, or even
- if it just works for you ok first time. Thanks! :)
-
-
-
- spoilers.hlp
-
- A spoilers file. I've only just started this, so it's very small.
- Some of it is my own writing, but most of it are extracted posts from
- alt.games.doom.
-
- So far it covers the following questions:
-
- 1. Where is the entrance to the decret level in E2?
-
- 2. How can I kill the Cyberdemon at the end of episode 2?
-
- 3. How can I get into the secret room to the right of the blue key
- in E2L2?
-
- 4. I seem to be missing a secret in E2L2. Any idea where it is?
-
- 5. How do I do E1L1 (Hangar)? (this covers the entire level: how to
- get the power armour outside, how to find the new secret that is
- in v1.2, and is in fact a complete solution to the entire level).
-
- 6. How do I do E1L2 (Nuclear Plant)? (this covers the entire level:
- how to find the first chainsaw, the chaingun, the backpack, and
- so on. It is a complete solution to E1L2).
-
- 7. How do I do E1L3 (Toxin Refinery)? (this covers: 'How do I raise
- the bridge?', 'How do I get to the secret level on E1?', and is
- in fact a complete solution to E1L3).
-
- As the file says, this will expand with time, and will probably grow
- quite fast. If any of you wish to contribute to this file, on the lines
- of sending me a 'how to solve/do <problem>' type help message, then
- please feel free to do so and it will be added to the file and credited
- to you.
-
-
-
- levelnms.hlp
-
- A list of each of the names of the various levels in each episode. A
- useful little reference! This should help reduce the number of 'I wish I
- could remember the level names...' comments on a.g.d! :D
-
-
- End of Library Contents
-
- Note:
-
- I do have many other things such as DEU, DMGRAPH, DMAUD, BSP, a collection
- of PWADS such as STONES.WAD and a collection of sound files.
-
- However, including these here woudl make for a BIG zip file, so if you want
- any of these things, email me for them, or you can ftp them from:
-
- ocf.unt.edu
-
- in the directory:
-
- /pub/doom
-
- or perhaps:
-
- /pub/incoming
