- DOOM GOLD 1.0 - Alternate sounds and music for commercial DOOM 1.2
-
- NOTE:
- DOOM GOLD IS FREE! SHAME ON THOSE GREEDY ASSHOLES THAT CREATE ALTERNATE
- SOUND, PWAD OR GRAPHICS LIBRARIES FOR DOOM, THEN TRY TO SELL THEM! IF YOU
- WANT TO MAKE MONEY OFF OF DOOM, GO GET A JOB WITH Id SOFTWARE! EITHER THAT,
- OR GET OFF YOUR DEAD BUTT AND WRITE YOUR OWN YIPPY-SKIP GAME AND CHARGE $$
- FOR YOUR OWN WORK! To those of you who write DOOM editors and charge money
- for your work, why not? What you're doing is original programming and more
- power to you! Keep up the good work!!!

- Welcome to DOOM GOLD! I know you'd rather play than read, so let's get to
- it! Here's the skinny, short & sweet!
-
- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
- To use DOOM GOLD, you'll need a computer capable of playing DOOM. You'll
- also need a Sound Blaster sound card (SB, SBPro, SB16) or compatible. Lastly
- you'll require about 11 megabytes of room on your DOOM hard drive, since the
- DOOM GOLD program makes a copy of your DOOM.WAD then modifies the copy so
- you original WAD is not subject to damage in any way. You MUST have a copy
- of ANSI.SYS running at bootup. Your DOS manual will tell you how to do this.
- One more thing: If you're running a cheap VGA adapter with a weird chipset,
- like an OAK for instance, don't even bother trying to run DOOM GOLD. The
- DG loader will malfunction with unpredictable results.
-
- HOW TO INSTALL:
- Just unpack this archive (DMGOLD10.*) in your DOOM directory, type GINSTALL
- and follow the program prompts. DOOM GOLD is a big program and may take
- some time to install, depending on your machine speed. After you install
- the program, it may be a good idea to de-fragment your drive in order to
- speed up game play!
-
- WARNING***WARNING: READ THIS OR DON'T BLAME ME IF THINGS GO WRONG!
- Before installing DOOM GOLD, make sure your DOOM.WAD file is clean...that
- is, free of all user installed PWADS, GRAPHICS or MUSIC. If you don't you
- will need to reload DOOM from scratch in order to get back to game defaults.
- Once installed, you can modify the DOOM GOLD .WAD if you wish with new maps
- and levels, so long as said additions don't change graphics, sounds or the
- music tracks (I don't know what'll happen if you ignore this last bit, but
- I wouldn't try to find out if I were you!).
-
- RUNNING DOOM GOLD:
- After install, merely type DOOMGOLD to play. You'll be presented with a
- menu and you should select the "Read about this program" option first.
- After this is done, follow other options to load, unload or de-install
- DOOM GOLD.
-
- I think you'll find DOOM GOLD sound effects to be a great addition to the
- game! If the music bugs you, simply turn it down or off - but I really
- suggest you try with the music enabled at least once, we have some pretty
- nice tracks!
-
- Lastly, be sure to give a copy of DOOM GOLD (in the original archive only,
- please) to every DOOM player you know! Upload it to any BBS that'll take it
- and put it all over the Internet too! BLANKET THE WORLD!
-
- DISCLAIMER: Whatever happens, I DIDN'T DO IT! :)

- ENJOY! E-13, 1994
