yxE[dit] B[episode/mission level]

    Edit a game level saving results to a patch wad
    file. You may enter the level ahead of time and
    bypass the selection screen.

G   Example: bE 1.

yxH[elp] Help for setting DeeP options

yxN[ew] B[episode/mission level]

    Create and edit a New (empty) level. Same as New
    under File in Edit mode.

yxQ[uit]

yxR[ead] B<wadfile>

    Read a new wad patch file. The default directory
    is set by the "patch" option. If not set, the
    default follows DOS rules (usually where you
    started DeeP).

    The level edited is automatically set to the
    first one found.

    Note : Normally you use the graphical interface
           read command under File.

p   yRegistered only

    The level may contain only sound, sprite or
    texture modications. These can be saved with any
    level with the bGroup command.

    Up to 56 PWADs may contain levels and 10 more
    for additional sound/texture/sprite modifica-
    tions. If you do not use the 56 levels for Maps,
    then the rest can be used for more sound/
    textures/etc.

y   The characters b.WAD are automatically
y   appended if no b. is found.

yrdirname / lump

 The names in the WAD file are in a "directory". Each
 level is assigned a name, for example, E1M1 is the
 first level in DOOM or HERETIC and MAP01 is the
 first level in DOOM II or HEXEN.

 Pictures, sound, and level entries are more examples
 of directory entry names.

 bLumps is another name for PWAD directory names.

p    y           WAD file description
p    y


 DOOM store its information about each of the levels
yin rWAD files. DeeP edits these files.

 There are two types of WAD files.

y                 rIWAD File

 The main file, DOOMx.WAD, contains all the infor-
 mation about the graphics, sound, level maps, etc.
 for the game. This file is an bIWAD file. There
 is one IWAD file called DOOM.WAD or DOOM2.WAD. For
 HERETIC the name is HERETICx.WAD.

 It is in the current directory when DOOM is run.

y                 rPWAD File

 DOOM supports additional files that bpatch the
 IWAD file, hence PWAD. It contains updates for the
 IWAD file.

 PWAD files created by DeeP contain an updated map of
 a game level. PWAD files can be called anything, but
 it's nice to call them bsomelvl.WAD where somelvl
 is any name you like.

 DOOM must be told to load a PWAD file. The -FILE
 parameter does this. It is added after you type
ybDOOM.

 Example : bDOOM -file myown.wad -warp level#
          (level# represents a number)


p   y        What makes up a Level


 The best way to learn the details that follow is to
 play a level, see what happens and then examine the
 level with DeeP. Start with the first level and
 work your way up.

 There's a lot of information, but each step is
 pretty simple. Learn from other levels the "tricks"
 used to get those spectacular scenes.

 Print the file TUTORIAL.DOC and depending on your
 game, load file DOOM1TUT.WAD, DOOM2TUT.WAD  or
 HEXENTUT.WAD to learn the basics of WAD files and
 how to make them using DeeP. The HEXEN version
 has a simple script (see HEXENTUT.ACS).

 SCRIPTS.WAD contains an introduction to HEXEN
 scripts (see SCRIPTS.ACS).

 DEEPEXAM.WAD is a simple level that is readily made
 using the predefined Objects and easy LineDrawing in
 DeeP.

pyIf you want to make a quick level just to see what
py this is all about, select Help from the top menu
py          bar and select Quick Start.

 It helps to use the Grid when designing a level. The
 Grid makes it easy to align everything and maintains
 the sizes that work best for wall and ceiling
 textures (explained later). A grid size of 8 is
 recommended for most work. Use a larger grid when
 making large starting areas.

 A level is created from smaller components, much
 like a house is built from 2x4's, nails and siding.
 Here's the names of the parts you will be using.

 The five components are Vertices, LineDefs,
 SideDefs (a part of LineDefs), Sectors and Things.

 This drawing illustrates each of the parts:

    1. V : Vertexes (the dots)
    2. L : LineDefs (the lines between them)
    3. S : Sector   (all 4 lines belong to a Sector)
    4. X : Things   (any creature, decoration)

       V .──────────┬──────────.
         │                     │
         │                     │
         ├─    X              ─┤ L
         │                     │
         │ S (this whole area) │
         │                     │
         .──────────┴──────────.

    The ─┴─ in the lines show the direction of the
    first side of a LineDef (called SideDef1), which
    will be explained later.


y                 rVertices

 Vertices are x,y coordinates on a map. DOOM maps are
 2 dimensional. The height comes from Sectors, as you
 will soon see.

 Vertices are used as the starting and ending points
 of LineDefs (next). These are the bdots on the map
 in Vertex mode. Vertexes are usually NOT created by
 themselves (as in DEU), but rather are created
 automatically when you draw lines.


                  bDoom Units

 A bDoom Unit is the name we give the coordinates
 numbers and the distance between two vertices. Just
 a made up name, but everyone asks "what do those
 numbers mean?"


y                 rLineDefs

 LineDefs "glue" two vertexes together.

 LineDefs are the lines in the map. These lines
 define the borders of a Sector or the location of a
 trigger that you walk across.

 Bear with me a bit on Sectors. For now think of a
 Sector as the room or area where you are fighting
 for your life. A more precise definition about
 Sectors is later, so keep on going and come back
 and review this area again. I think it will be
 clearer the 2nd time (if you didn't get stuffed
 by the monsters).

 Each LineDef has a starting vertex and ending
 vertex. This is similar to putting two dots on a
 piece of paper and connecting them to draw a line.

 These lines end up being walls you see in the game.
 The walls have at least one side and to be seen,
 require a texture graphic.

 Transparent LineDefs do not need any texture, since
 they are invisible. A common use is for a btrigger
 activated when you walk across the LineDef. When you
 walk across the LineDef, it behaves like a tripwire.
 A transparent LineDef has a texture of b-, which
 is none.

 A btrigger causes the Sector assigned to it to move
 up or down according to the type of LineDef. These
 cause the special effects as you blunder into
 things. (See Sector and LineDef tags below.)

 Another common use of transparent LineDefs is to
 highlight an area or simulate lighting. You can draw
 letters in the "sand" or anything else you dream of.
 There are no walls, so all you can see is the floor
 and ceiling. If the floor and ceiling are different
 from the surroundings, they "stand out" (these are
 the Sectors that you see "stand out", coming up
 soon).

 It may help to stop here and edit a level, mess
 around with the different modes and see all the
 possibilities. The first level is suggested, since
 it doesn't have as many things going on and is easy
 to test since it's the first level.

 If the wall can be viewed from both sides we need to
 describe the second side also (for example, a room
 within another room that you can walk around and
 enter through a door).

 These sides are called rSideDefs. The first side
 is called SideDef1 and the second SideDef2 (isn't
 this amazing).

 The SideDef1 side of the LineDef is the side with
 the line sticking out of it in Vertex and LineDef
 edit modes.


b       y All LineDefs go the same Direction
b       y       (Most of the time)

 The line sticking out from the side, should be the
 same for all 1-sided LineDefs. Normally the arrows
 point in the clockwise direction for rooms and the
 opposite for an object in a room (see stair help).

 LineDefs with two sides may go in either direction
 and be mixed in direction. If you have textures
 that like to "follow" you, try flipping the LineDef
 (do not flip the SideDefs yet!).


y                 rSideDefs

 SideDefs "glue" LineDefs to Sectors. They represent
 each bside of a LineDef.

 A LineDef must have at least one SideDef. The
 SideDefs supply 2 more parts to finish the 3D
 definition:

 1. The wall textures (the way the wall looks)
 2. A Sector reference number. The Sector referenced
    gives us floor/ceiling textures and heights

 When ALL the SideDefs (of LineDefs) form an enclosed
 area and share the bSAME Sector reference number, we
 see a Sector. If other areas use the same Sector
 number reference (which is perfectly fine), they all
 light up in Sector Edit mode too.

 SideDefs also "glue" to all the textures.

 There are three possible texture locations for a
 SideDef: bupper, normal and lower, representing
 what you see above, straight ahead and below your
 field of view.

 The upper and lower textures are used when the floor
 and ceiling of adjacent sectors vary in height.

ayUpper Texture : Texture you can see above the
 ceiling of a Sector.

ayNormal Texture: Texture you see between the ceiling
 and floor of a Sector.

ayLower Texture : Texture you can see below the floor
 of a Sector.

 If everything was the same height, you would only
 need normal. (A boring level, yes? But you'll have
 to make a few of these first to get the hang of it
 all<g>)


y                 rSectors

 Sectors "glue" Ceiling and Floor Textures together
 and define a Bottom (floor) and Top (ceiling).

 A Sector appears visually on the map when 3 or more
 LineDefs connect together to form an enclosed area.

 A Sector appears similar to a room or an area within
 a room but is by itself not the area.

 Sectors determine the ceiling and floor height and
 the ceiling and floor textures (the last part to get
 the 3D look of a level).

 A Sector adds the depth to the LineDef/SideDef
 connections. A Sector can be shared by many LineDefs
 that form independent areas, lending the same
 floor/ceiling heights and textures to those areas.

 So don't think of a Sector as being the actual room
 (sorry about their choice of words) since it can
 describe many rooms and areas.

 When you see more than one area "light" up in Sector
 edit mode, it signifies the same sector is used to
 describe the highlighted LineDefs.

 Special Sector information (damage/secret?) is also
 available.

 Sectors are the only structure that move UP/DOWN in
 DOOM. Lifts, Staircases, Doors, are all specially
 defined Sectors. If you recall, the SideDefs connect
 all the LineDefs together to the same sector. So the
 area described by the LineDefs/SideDefs is the area
 that will move.

 The LineDef+SideDefs look at the Sector types you
 used and acquire the property you assigned. So if
 it's Damage, all the LineDefs with that Sector
 assigned have health damage. If it says to move up,
 they all move up, even areas that are not where you
 are!! (If they have the same Sector.)

 Sector give the room the final touch by varying the
 light intensity (or flicker) you can dramaticly
 change the ambience of an otherwise bland room!

 In HERETIC there are even more things you can do.
 The floor can scroll, you can have a nice breeze
 blowing (throws off the aim of shots) and to top
 it off, you can make it slippery too!

 A short note:

 There is one thing not obvious right now, (if this
 is your first trip in editing), but when you make
 floors and ceilings that move, you have to imagine
 the movement and supply textures for those areas
 that will become "visible" when the Sector moves
 up or down. If a floor moves up, you need a Lower
 Texture to pop up as it rises and if the ceiling
 Lowers, an Upper Texture has to slide down with
 it.

 DeeP automatically checks for this if the same
 Sector does not move both up AND down.  Stairs are
 also ignored.  HEXEN can have scripts which can
 do banything, so of course that makes it
 impossible for DeeP to tell if textures are
 required for HEXEN if the action is script driven.

pyPlease See Sector Not Closed in Check for more
py              information.



y                 rThings

 Things are the objects that lend the final touch to
 a level.

 Weapons, enemies, ammo, keys and decorations are
 visible Things. The places where players start the
 game and Teleport landings are also called things.

 If you place too many Things in a level, you may not
 be able to save games. A very large level with too
 many  monster Things will crash DOOM.  700+ is a
 caution point.

 You can display a picture of the ALL the things on
 the Map by pressing T again after you are in Thing
 edit mode (you get there by pressing T or selecting
 from a menu).

 The display can be interrupted at any time by pres-
 sing any key. After the first display all the
 images are cached for improved performance.


p   y            HOM errors


 Hall of Mirror errors are what you get when some-
 thing is messed up in your level. It looks like
 you're replicated a zillion times and the world
 won't stop turning.

 We didn't invent this cute name. Matt Fell, the
 author of the unofficial DOOM specs mentions it.
 (Review his document for technical information.)

 Here are some common causes for HOM and others:
 (Some of the terms are discussed in other areas, so
 please review the rest of help.)

 1.  You forgot a texture (easy to fix)

 2.  Transparent Wall, 2-sided wall using a texture
     with more than 1 patch. Also called 'Medusa
     Effect' - Looks like snakes and turns you to
     stone (can also produce 'Tutti Frutti').

 3.  'Tutti Frutti', an attempt to display part of
     a Texture not covered by a texture Patch. Weird
     sparkles (typically pinks and greens, thus
     'Tutti Frutti'). Typically caused by new
     textures.

     The largebar grate textures cause this if
     displayed on too short a wall. Textures can also
     "project" in a false dimension, which can
     be fixed by unpegging them.

 4.  A LineDef is shared by 2 sectors, but the
     2-sided flag is not set (F10 menu will fix).

 5.  A LineDef/Sector is sticking its nose across
     another LineDef/Sector (move it back).

 6.  Too many 2-sided LineDefs are visible from any
     point (limit increased in 1.666 and later to
     128) or too many 1-sided LineDefs (256).

 7.  The Sector heights are messed up.

 8.  A node building error. Rearrange the area,
     change the node depth or use a different
     nodebuilder (see node depth).

 9.  You have textures where they are not required.

 10. If you see a "flash" you may have too many
     different upper textures visible in the line of
     sight. For example, creating stairs with over
     16 steps with different ceiling heights may
     produce this symptom.

     Areas with large numbers of directly visible
     walls are the most prone to this error. This
     also gives visi-plane overflows!

     Reduce the numbers of LineDefs visible by
     combining two or more LineDefs into 1 (delete
     the vertices splitting them) or block the area
     from sight.

 11. DOOM has an error (especially DOOM, see stairs).


p   y       Sector and LineDef tags

 A bTag number is a number that is used to connect
 LineDefs and Sectors. The connection is required so
 that the LineDef knows what Sector you're talking
 about.

 Question: If you have a switch that you want to
 use to operate a door, how will Doom know what door
 to operate?

 Answer: You give the LineDef with the switch a
 number and give the door Sector the SAME number.

 These numbers are called bTags. Tag numbers have
 nothing to do with anything else.

 The tag in a LineDef is called a Sector Tag. It
 refers to a tag number in a Sector. The tag number
 in the LineDef and the Sector are the same.

 The tag in Sector is called a LineDef tag. It refers
 to the tag number in a LineDef. The tag number in
 the Sector and the LineDef are the same.

 Each Tag number is unique, that is, it is not used
 by any existing LineDef/Sector.

 1. You can have one LineDef tag point to multiple
    Sectors. Then all the Sectors move as specified
    by the LineDef type.

 2. Two or more LineDefs can point to the same Sector.
    A typical use has one LineDef lower the floor and
    another LineDef to raise the floor. Typically you
    see these as switches.

 For now we are assuming you are starting from
 scratch. So the first available number (on a new
 level) is 1, the next 2,3, and so on. You can skip
 around if you like.

 The menus automatically show you a free number in
 one of two ways:

 1. With the (##). In other words, the number '##'
    within the () is not used anywhere.

 2. As f##,u##  The 'f##'is not used anywhere and the
    'u##' is the last number you used. This also
    applies for HEXEN PolyIds and Thing Tids.

 HEXEN mode automatically assign Tags, PolyIds and
 Tids as appropriate. Door Tags for types 12 and 13
 are not assigned, since they are optional if the
 linedef is directly connected to the door sector.

 Once you give the LineDef this tag number (Sector
 Tag), go to the Sector with the Door (or anything
 that works with "tags", and give it the same Tag
 number (LineDef Tag). This connects the LineDef to
 the Sector.

 Use the Search for LineDef/Sector tag to locate a
 tag number if you forgot where you used it.

 In LineDef mode, a LineDef with a tag shows the tag
 number and the Sector number it is connected to in-
 between the (). The Sector also lights up in Red.

 In Sector mode, a Sector with a tag shows the tag
 number and the LineDef number it is connected to
 inbetween the (). The LineDef also lights up in Red.


p   y            HEXEN LineDefs

 In HEXEN, the LineDefs can be programmed to vary the
 height, speed, delay, etc.  This is noted in the
 description as +tag-speed-height..etc.  DeeP has
 some default values, but you have to suppy the tag
 if required and adjust the parameters for your
 level. Tags, PolyIds and Tids are automatically
 assigned the next free number, with Doors excepted
 as noted above. Use the Edit LineDef Special option
 to override any of the 5 parameters.

 If a LineDef already has upper bit values to set
 repeatable, etc, DeeP does not override the
 settings.  In addition, if you select a LineDef
 type but do not change it, that is you pressed
 enter (repeating the current LineDef type
 definition)  none of the LineDef settings are
 changed. This is a safety to prevent DeeP from
 overriding any special flags you may have set.

 LineDefs with Scripts, display as Light BLUE (you
 can change the color).

 Please refer to HEXSPECS.DOC for more detailed
 information.


p   y            MAP Object Colors

 When an object is selected (by Left clicking) it
 will change color and the object select count
 (upper right top line) is increased by one. Refer
 to this to keep track of your work.

 Things with the same color are all the same type.

 LineDefs of different colors signify tags or
 possible texture problems. Look at the information
 displayed on the bottom texture boxes to tell.

 Press F1 help in the Mouse/Line Color option menu
 for detailed color information.

 All the same Sectors will turn Yellow, so you can
 readily spot where they are used. Red indicates an
 Tagged Sector/LineDef relation or an error in the
 SideDef where it appears.

 See Color Options (press F1 in that menu ) for a
 definition of all the colors on the map.

p          y  Design and Shaping of Areas
p          y

 Note: This is an overview of design and shaping.
 Review each command for specific instructions.

 You should have a bPLAN before you start drawing.
 This will minimize the amount of work you have to
 do. Even for first time users, decide what area you
 are going to modify and what your goal is.

 We suggest modest goals and don't try to immediately
 make doors and teleports. Instead, make a room
 larger and extend the walls some. Learn about the
 difference between walls with only 1 side and those
 with 2 side. For example, on 1-sided walls you can
 use any of the textures, but on 2-sided walls use
 only the textures that say "TRANSPARENT".

 Note: There are always exceptions. They only work
 using special construction tricks. For now, keep it
 simple. If discover a level that violates the rules,
 first make sure that it really works, then try it
 yourself. If it fails, the other guy was lucky or
 you forgot to do it EXACTLY the same.

 You can change your mind, but it's like building
 a house. If after you build a house and you decide
 the bathroom doesn't belong there, you have the tear
 it all down along with some adjoining structures, so
 you can see the mess you might get into!

 Any intricate design is made in LineDrawing mode.
 LineDrawing mode can be entered at any time by
 by pressing Ctrl+D or quick Double right mouse click
 and select Drawing mode. In Vertex mode a quick
 double left Mouse click also works.

 Draw clockwise for rooms and counter-clockwise to
 make objects in rooms.

 Intelligent Inference Drawing (IID) examines the
 context of the area you draw in. When it does this,
 most of the details, such as  Sectors and SideDefs
 will be made for you as you progress.

 In the next stage you start tuning your level by
 changing the heights of floors and ceilings. At this
 step, you have to add textures for the walls that
 are exposed from differences in heights. DeeP can
 automatically supply missing textures, but this is
 only for beginners. It has no idea what the scene
 should look like, so use the check instead and make
 it as you intended.

 You can also create predefined shapes such as
 rectangles, polygons, stairs and teleports using
 the F9 (Object) menu. This is called bTOOL mode.
 There are also Pools, Pedestals/Boxes, Windows and
 Teleport pads available.

 bTOOL mode is productive for both the beginner and
 the expert. It gets rid of the busy work and gets
 you to the creative part of your design quicker!


 In bTOOL mode, the objects can be drawn to size
 and placed anywhere by using a combination of mouse
 buttons and keys.

 Press F1 help when using the Tool for more details.

 Objects made using the Object menu are meant to be
 SEEN and have most of the required textures when
 created. You may have to supply additional textures
 depending on the final heights of everything. The
 check menu can do this automatically.

 Rectangles and polygons made from the Mode menu (or
 from quick double Right clicking mouse menu), are
 meant to supply floor and ceiling textures for
 Room effects. They are created as 2-sided with no
 textures when made inside an exisiting Sector.

 These can be made into objects if you change the
 floor and ceiling heights and add the required
 textures.

 Design and shape areas after they are made by drag-
 ging the vertex points (using the right mouse
 button) to any location. This is the most flexible.

 Areas are shaped in LineDef and Sector mode (coming
 up soon). In LineDef mode lines are dragged and in
 Sector mode areas are dragged and shaped.

a    w   Converting a level from DOOM to HEXEN

  You convert a level from one game to the other, by
  placing DeeP in the appropriate Game first. For
  example, lets start in HEXEN mode by opening the
  Project HEXEN.PRJ.  Now we read in any old DOOM
  level (or HERETIC).

  The next step is to fix all the textures.  You can
  manually Search/Replace each one or you can use the
  automatic fix textures feature using the F10 menu.

  Next fix all your things!!  In HEXEN mode, all your
  LineDef and Sector types are reset.  In the other
  modes they are left as is, but you do have to make
  changes from DOOM->HERETIC. So please run the error
  checker, it will tell you what to change.


a            w   Map Scroll Limits

  The maximum scroll in any direction is slightly
  less than the "edge" of the map in that direction.
  This "brick" wall prevents the map from flying off
  your screen.

  If you are making a very large area, reduce the
  zoom or extend the area after you make it as large
  as you can. The new area automatically extends the
  scroll limits, so you can make it bigger again.

  The maximum safe bDoom Unit X / Y size is about
  8000 x 8000. This is pretty large!  This includes
  a large amount of detail inside this boundary.

  Simple maps can be larger. The product of the
  length of X times Y can't exceed approximately
  536 million.

  32k x 32k never works. 16k x16k works for simple
  maps.

  If you scroll to the edge and magnify with Auto
  Center turned off, you may loose sight of the map!

  Press alt+Z or alt+X to get your bearings again.


a            w    Map Centering

  The center of the map should be at approximately 0,0.
  If you let the center drift off center and you have
  a very large map, the magnification limit at the
  edges is less than at the center! Lines may draw
  incorrectly.  Just reduce the Zoom.  This usually
  is only a problem at a Zoom greater than 4000, but
  is directly related to map size and coordinate
  location.

   1. Exit without saving changes if you are not in
      any submenu. You are only warned if changes
      were not saved. Cancel if you want to save your
      changes.

   2. Exit any submenu. If any item was selected, it
      is saved. You can also click the right mouse
      button to exit.

   3. Cancel any current active drag object.

      The objects are returned to the starting
      locations.

      All the objects selected are still active. You
      can restart dragging by clicking the Right
      mouse button again. Press bC to clear the
      object selection.

   4. Cancel any current active Scale/Rotate object.

      The objects are returned to the starting
      locations.

   5. Cancel any current active Tool object;
      Rectangle, Polygon and Stairs.


a  6. yIns when any LineDrawing mode is active:
      The last LineDef is NOT drawn to close the
      polygon (if it is missing).

      Line Drawing mode is reset to the next area to
      draw. Press Esc again to exit LineDrawing mode.

yrIns

a  yThing mode : Insert a new Thing at the current
   cursor position. Copies the last selected object
   or insert a default object (see Edit F1 help).

a  yVertex mode: Starts Line drawing mode for
   creating Vertices, LineDefs and Sectors.

   In Vertex mode a quick Double left Mouse Click
   also enters LineDrawing mode.

   You can always start drawing from any mode by
   pressing Ctrl+D or quick Double right mouse click
   and select Drawing mode.

   The map display from other modes changes to show
   you the Vertex locations. If you scroll or size
   the map, the map displays as it does in Vertex
   mode.

   When you exit LineDrawing mode, the display
   automatically returns to the original mode.

   Tool LineDrawing mode is the work horse for
   drawing areas!

   Press the Left mouse button to start creating
   Vertexes and LineDefs. You can start on top of an
   existing Vertex. That's the way you connect
   Sectors. (Also see Mouse buttons.)

   You can also trace on top of other LineDefs to
   make them 2-sided if they go in opposite
   directions.

   If the level is already correct, that is, if you
   run the F10 check level, there are no errors,
   DeeP will correctly identify your existing areas
   and adjust the details of sector and sidedef
   assignments automatically.

   When the level has incorrect references (which
   result in miscalculations) or if DeeP miscal-
   culates the correct SideDef/Sector references, it
   is easy to fix them in LineDef edit mode.

   Placing a Vertex right on top of an existing
   LineDef splits the LineDef at the location of the
   new Vertex. This is how you can quickly make
   Door sides (see Misc Help).

   It is not possible to create only 1 Vertex.
   (What are you going to do with 1 vertex?)

   If you select 2 vertexes and then press Ins, a
   LineDef is created connecting the 2 vertices.
   No Sidedefs or Sector is made. You are then
   asked if you want to Split the Sector or make
   a 2-sided LineDef.


p         ySplit Sector / 2-sided LineDef

   After you create a single LineDef (from only 2
   vertexes) a prompt automatically comes up asking
   if you want to split the sector or make the Line-
   Def 2-sided. Choose exit to do nothing, but be
   sure to come back and fix it!

   bSplitting a Sector takes the area on one side of
   the line just created and assigns all LineDefs
   a new Sector number (this is automatically
   created and is a copy of the original one).

   In this manner you can quickly change an area and
   make the new (or old) sector have a new behavior
   without changing the rest of the area.

   The "split" LineDef has to be drawn following the
   conventions for Sectors. So follow the flow of the
   existing area. A message will come up if it fails
   for any reason.

   b2-sided Linedefs are commonly used for "triggers"
   to activate a Sector somewhere else when you walk
   across them.

   Do NOT split a sector if you don't know what that
   means right now. It will get very confusing!


p                  yFinish/End

   There are 4 ways to finish a Line/Side/Def/Sector:

   1. Press the Right button to close the last
      LineDef (if you haven't made a complete loop).
      A new SideDef1 is created for each line drawn
      and they all share a new Sector .

      You connect two sectors by sharing a LineDef
      (you trace over an existing LineDef), the
      shared LineDef is automatically made 2-sided.

      Tracing over an existing LineDef is automatic
      if you think ahead a bit and end up where the
      last LineDef made automatically will "cross"
      over the existing LineDef.

   2. Press Shift+Right button to close the last
      LineDef (if you haven't made a complete loop)
      and EXTEND an area if Sector Join is OFF.

      A new SideDef1 is created for each line drawn
      and they all share the SAME Sector as the one
      used by the LineDef shared.

      The opposite is true, if Sector Join is ON.

      (Draw over only 1 LineDef).

   3. Press the bIns key to do everything you did
      in 1 above. The difference is, any LineDef you
      traced over is NOT made 2-sided. You do this if
      the LineDef is being traced over because you
      are making a Door.

      Door sides (the thin part) are normally 1-
      sided, so you don't want the process to make it
      2-sided. If you forget, you have to eliminate
      the SideDef2 created. You delete SideDef2 by
      changing the reference number to -1 (that's
      deleting it).

   4. Press the bEsc key to do everything you did
      in 1 except the LineDef is not automatically
      closed.


a  wLineDef mode: All the LineDefs you selected that
   are 1-sided, will be made 2-sided with a new
   sector assigned. Do not select any LineDefs that
   are already 2-sided.

   If you want to define an existing area that has
   mostly 1-sided LineDefs, but one of them is
   2-sided, remove the 2nd SideDef from the offender
   (set the reference to -1), then select all (now)
   1-sided LineDefs, press bIns and a new area is
   created with its own new Sector.

a  wSector mode: Creates a new sector. Look at F10
   number of sectors (minus 1) to get the new sector
   number. Use this to create a new sector for an
   area ahead of time.

   It is safer (since you can't accidently delete) to
   change the sector reference in SideDefs to this
   new Sector. The old sector is purged when you do
   the final Check on the Level (always do the
   complete Check). You won't need to do this very
   often (rarely as you get better).

   A grid is a series of squares on the screen. They
   are visible if the grid is not hidden. Use H to
   view/hide.

   A grid size that result in a screen size of less
   than 2 pixels is never shown. When the 2 pixel
   limit is reached, the visible grid fluctuates in
   size and changes to dark-gray.

   If Snap-to-Grid is active (see /) and the grid
   size is not 0, each vertex coordinate is rounded
   to a multiple of the grid. For example, if a
   vertex has coordinates of x=121, y=22 and the grid
   size is 8, the final coordinates are : x=128, y=24.
   That example was for Vertex mode.

   Tool mode also snaps to the grid. So you will see
   the objects "jumping" on the screen as you move.

   In the Line and Sector editing modes, coordinates
   are only shifted in increments of the grid. To
   force them into alignment would cause a lot of
   grief (Vertices could be overlaid)!

   Grid is use recommended when linedrawing. It auto-
   matically aligns objects the grid (if Snap-to-Grid
   is active). When using the Tools you may wish to
   turn it off ( / key command) to make the object
   more controllable. Also when performing some
   detail work, such as placing vertices on top of an
   existing line, it is easier if Snap-to-Grid is OFF.

   If the original LineDef or Sector was not aligned,
   switch to Vertex mode to align each Vertex.

   TIP: If you have a Sector object and you want to
   force it into the grid coordinates (meaning the
   vertices will "snap" to points) do the following:

   1. Select the Sector by left clicking (in Sector
      Editing mode of course).

   2. Switch to LineDef mode (L), now all the
      LineDefs are selected.

   3. Switch to Vertex mode (V), now all the Vertexes
      are selected ready for your commands!

   Note: you have to bmove past 1/2 the grid size
   to make it snap, so move "too far" and move back.

   A grid size of 8 is recommended for most work. Use
   a larger grid when making beginning large areas or
   when making Teleports (for floor texture align-
   ment).

yrCtrl+G

   Set grid scale to 0.

yrShift+Ctrl+G

a       w Left Button has multiple uses

yrLeft button

 1. Mark/unmark the current object (select/unselect)
    Quickly press the Left button to mark or unmark
    object(s).

    Marked objects (speaker clicks and the object
    changes color) are all changed as a group when
    you make changes.

    The right side of the top menu bar shows the
    total number of objects currently selected.

 2. Create selection box.

    If the Left button pressed and held down for over
    2/10* of a second, Select box mode is entered.

    *Change the delay in Zoom/Mouse/Map options under
    Edit.

    Move the mouse to change the size of the outline
    you see to encompass all the objects you want
    selected/marked.

    All the currently selected objects are cleared
    when you enter Select mode and the new objects
    in the Selection box are now active.

    All these objects can now be edited at once or
    moved/copied.

    If you do NOT have additive select active (see
    shift+F5 options), then pressing the Left mouse
    button for a long duration and then releasing
    it, is a quick way to clear current selections!

 3. Zoom-to-Window

    If the Left button pressed and held down for over
    2/10* of a second, Select box mode is entered.

    *Change the delay in Zoom/Mouse/Map options under
    Edit.

    Move the mouse to change the size of the outline
    you see to encompass all the objects you want
    to Zoom in on.

    While pressing the Left button, press Z.

    To return back to the windows state prior to this
    command, press shift+Z.

 4. Add an object (same as Ins key).

    For Vertex and Things only, Quickly press the
    left mouse button twice in a row.

    For Things : Add a Thing of the current type.

    For Vertex : Start Line Drawing Tool.

 5. Enter Browser mode as noted with F1=Browse.
    Left click on the graphic shown.


a     y  What does Selecting an Object do

   Each time you click an object it is added
   to a list of selected objects. When you edit
   any of the objects in the list, all the objects
   selected receive the edit changes. Similarly, if
   you drag or copy when the cursor is over one of
   the objects in the list, all the objects are
   dragged or copied.

   You do bnot have to click to edit only one
   object. Move the cursor over the object to edit.
   When you see that it is selected, press Enter
   (or press the Right button quickly), select the
   options in the sub-menu and press Escape (or
   click the Right button) when you are done to exit.

   Similarly for copying or dragging only one object,
   make sure the object is automatically selected and
   press bO for copying it or press the Right
   button and hold down to drag.

   To unselect an object, click on it again or press
   bC to clear all.

   If you have turned Auto Select off by using the
   bshift+A command, no objects are automatically
   selected as you roam the map. Turn it back on if
   you want to edit as described above.

yrLeft button Direct Picture Editing

   Left clicking the Sector, LineDef or Thing picture
   displayed on the bottom, pops up the corresponding
   object images/texture selection menu.

   This is a fast method of adjusting the final look
   of a level!

   Only the object displayed is changed. Additional
   objects you may have selected are ignored.

   You may wish to temporarily turn Auto Select of to
   keep the same object displayed on the bottom.

yrLeft button Insert Vertices

   If you quickly* click the Left mouse button twice,
   bIns mode as described next is automatically
   entered. You may prefer this to pressing the Ins
   key.

   Press the Left button after you press bIns in
   Vertex mode to create Vertices for LineDefs.

   *Change the delay in Zoom/Mouse/Map options under
   Edit.

yrshift+Left button  (LineDef and Sector see bCtrl+C)

   Copies the current selected object(s) to the
   current cursor location.

   In LineDef and Sector mode, bshift+Left button,
   bO and bCtrl+C are all the same.

yrshift+Left button  (Vertex Mode Only)

   Splits the LineDef near the cursor location in
   half.

yrctl+Left button    (see bCtrl+M)

   Mirrors the current selected object(s) to the
   current cursor location.

   A mirrored object is created as if a mirror
   was placed at the current cursor location.

   bCtrl+Left Mouse button and bCtrl+M are the
   same.


a       w Right Button has multiple uses

yrRight button

 1. Edit the current/selected object(s).

    Quickly press the Right button to edit the
    current object(s).

 2. Drag the current/selected object(s).

    If the Right button is pressed and held for over
    2/10* of a second, drag mode is entered.

    *Change the delay in Zoom/Mouse/Map options under
    Edit.

    All the selected object(s) are dragged.

    Drag the object(s) selected by pressing the Right
    mouse button (and holding it down) and at the
    same time moving the mouse to the desired loca-
    tion. Release the Right mouse button to place it.

    If you have a group of objects selected (either
    by individually selecting them with the Left
    mouse button or using the Left Mouse drag
    selection box), they are all dragged at the same
    time.

    If you press and hold the Right mouse button when
    you are over a rNew object (it "lights" up) and
    it is not in the current select list), the new
    object is dragged and all the prior ones are
    dropped.

 3. Drag tool object.

    When creating a Rectangle, Polygon or Stair from
    the Tool menu (not from Objects), pressing the
    Right mouse button drags the object over the map.

    In rotate mode, the Right mouse button drags the
    whole map .

 4. Change Edit mode.

    Quickly* clicking the Right mouse button brings
    up a sub-menu that allows you to change Edit
    modes.

    Select a new mode or Right click to exit.

    *Change the delay in Zoom/Mouse/Map options under
    Edit.


yrRight button Insert Vertices/LineDefs

   Press the Right button to stop inserting vertices
   and drawing LineDefs in Vertex mode (see above).
   The LineDefs are automatically closed. Press bEnd
   if you do not want to close the LineDefs.

   In this mode only, rShift+Right button connects
   the area drawn to the Sector whose LineDef you
   have shared. Use this to extend areas using the
   same Sector. (The opposite is true if Sector Join
   is ON.)

   (Draw over only 1 LineDef).


yrShift+Right button   (see bDel)

   Delete the selected object(s).

   For Vertex mode only, the Vertex and all connected
   LineDefs are Joined OR if the VertexDel Join
   option is turned OFF, the Vertex and all connected
   LineDefs are deleted (see VertexDel).

yrCtrl+Right button

   Start Map panning using the mouse. You can release
   the Ctrl key after you start.  Release the mouse
   button to stop.

   Alternatively, you can press the left mouse
   button and then quickly press the right mouse
   button. Release the buttons to stop. (Use C to
   clear any object selected).

   Cancels the currently selected menu when
   clicked outside the area.


y                b
y                b Menu Selections
y                b

 Items from a menu can be selected three different
 ways:

yb1. Use the arrow keys to select the option and press
    Enter.

yb2. ba. For menus without numbers in front, press the
    highlighted character (and nothing else).

y   bb. For menus with numbers in front, press the
       number (and nothing else).

yb3. Use the mouse to select the item. Move the mouse
    cursur to the line and click the left button.

 To cancel the selection, press Esc or click the
 right mouse button.


y              b
y              b Automatic Selection
y              b   Difficulties
y              b

 The first thing to do is increase the Magnification
 using the +/- keys, Z or the numbers. This makes it
 easier to see, the mouse movement is easier to
 control and DeeP automatically narrows the "search"
 for something.

 If you have automatic object selection turned on
 (bshift+A), objects automatically get selected
 when you get close to them. Some Sectors may be
 difficult to select if they have irregular shapes.

 Switch to LineDef mode, select a LineDef and switch
 back to Sector mode. You can also Jump to a Sector
 (or any object) with the bJ command.

 If you have extra Sectors in one location, you will
 also have trouble, but in that case you have to
 delete the extra Sector.  Run F10 Check to get rid
 of the extras automatically.

yThe b- commands are used for overrides when you
ystart bDeeP. The name surrounded by the parenthesis
yb(..) followed by b= is the long form of the name.

 If no () are shown, it's the same name.

yAll the overrides are bPERMANENT and do not need to
 be entered again each time (except for -n).

 All of these options can be set with altF5, this is
 for those that like to do it this way also and also
 to support different environments via custom batch
 files.

yExample :
yb-MAIN c:\Doom2\DOOM2.wad defines the main IWAD.

yb-n (noload)

    Temporarily suppresses automatic DeeP restart.
    This clears all prior PWAD file names and all
    file additions. Used to start over again!

    Use this in the Shareware and LITE versions to
    CLEAR all the current levels you have read so you
    can start over again if you've exceeded the file
    limit of 3 or 6!

    The bReset All Files option under File in Edit mode
    also resets all file additions to none.

    (See automatic restart options under Edit.)


yb-m   (main)  C:\DOOM2\DOOM2.WAD

    Name/location of the main IWAD file. This file
    determines DOOM/DOOM II, HERETIC or HEXEN
    support. .

    This path also determines the location of
    DOOM, DOOM2, HERETIC or HEXEN .exe when testing
    a level (registered only).

    If you play DOOM, DOOM II,HERETIC and HEXEN, you
    may wish to create a batch file for each version
    using the -PRJ option to point to different main
    IWAD files. You must have created the projects
    ahead of time (of course).  This lets you quickly
    start DEEP in the right mode. You can always
    switch modes within the editor of course, but
    this makes it quicker on startup.

    Modify and make a copy of the batch file used
    to execute DEEP (DEEP.BAT) if you desire pre-
    defined automatic starts in the right game.

    In one batch file you might enter:

y   bDeeP -prj DEEP1.PRJ %1...
    (for DOOM)

    and in the second batch file enter:

y   bDeeP -prj DOOM1.PRJ %1...
    (for DOOM II)

y   bDeeP -prj HERETIC.PRJ %1...
    (for HERETIC)

y   bDeeP -prj HEXEN.PRJ %1...
    (for HEXEN)

    Each time you change the name of the IWAD file,
    it is saved in xxxxx.PRJ. Thus if you start DeeP
    and do not override with a -m doom.wad command,
    the last name you used is automatically read.

yb-f  (file) file1.wad file2.wad ...

    Add patch wad files to load. If no path is
    specified, a path is added (see PATCH).

    The b.wad extension is automatically added
    if no b. is used. (This also erases all prior
    saved PWAD information, i.e, it does a -n.)

yb-p  (path) C:\DOOM2\WADS

    Set the default path for reading and saving files
    and for DIR (registered).

yb-prj C:\...\yourprj.PRJ

    Set the default project to use on startup.  The
    default is the last one used.

yb-v # (video)

    Set the default video mode number (resolution).
    This is also set in the alt+F5 menu.

    Experiment with this to see if your monitor is
    readable at higher resolutions ( 800x600 looks
    nice on many 15" monitors ).

    Values for #:

    1=640x480, 2=800x600, 3=1024x768, 4=1280x1024

    If the video driver detects an error, the
    resolution is reset to 640x480.


yb-d new (driver)

    Change the video driver. Use this if the VESA
    driver does not work. Select the driver that
    describes your video card. If the video card is
    not listed, try to determine the chipset of the
    video card.

    Also use UNIVBE to try to emulate VESA! Find the
    latest version (5.1) if 5.0 does not work.

p                  y DeeP / DPMI


 You may have to adjust your system to work with
 DeeP's Borland DPMI manager. Do not use QEMM's
 QDPMI (in CONFIG.SYS). You probably don't need it.
 Also you have to have HIMEM.SYS in CONFIG.SYS and
 at least FILES=20.

 Be sure to test before saving from DeeP! Please read
 README.DOC and README.1ST.

 If DeePBSP fails for any reason, you will get the
 message on returning that the file you saved is not
 a WAD file. The file is probably -0- in length. Copy
 the ~DeeP.wad or ~HeeP.wad back to the name you
 wanted so you now again have a copy of the last
 level you changed.

 Do NOT edit the temporary names above!!!!!

 DeePBSP will fail if you have overlapping vertices-
 LineDefs, so be sure to run the check for this in
 DeeP.

x      y Node Building Design considerations

 If the manner in which you build 2-sided objects is
 not correct, you may get "floating" floors and
 barriers.  These types of errors are not caught by
 the error checker, since 2-sided LineDefs have too
 many valid combinations.

 Basically, when you build an object, you should try
 to have all the LineDef sidedefs (side1 or side2)
 all facing the same direction, either all in or all
 out. Failure to follow this guideline, may introduce
 node conflicts. So if you have this type of problem,
 examine the structure(s) surrounding the problem!

 Use the final build mode (nodes are + numbers,
 usually 4 to 8) for HEXEN.

 Use TURBO mode (- numbers, usually -4 to -8) for
 quick developement on slower machines or for
 experimenting with nodes for HEXEN.

 Note : Sometimes LineDefs are drawn and configured
 "incorrectly" on done on purpose to achieve a
 special effect. Play the level to see if there it
 was done on purpose? No too unusual anymore.


 The following information is to see if you may have
 an incorrect option in your system that is slowing
 down DeePBSP.

 Most of your PWADs should build in less than 30
 seconds. For reference, MAP14 (DOOM2) or E1M5
 (HERETIC) should take no longer than 5 seconds on
 a DX486/33 in TURBO mode and 14 seconds in FINAL
 mode.

 No, final is not 3 times slower, it just depends
 on the level. An average difference is about 2,
 but it's so fast it hardly makes any difference.

 We use TURBO for lighting fast test turnaround and
 FINAL for the final stages. FINAL does a better
 job of balancing the node tree. This is important
 on large levels or slower machines.

 For faster processors, the time taken is propor-
 tional to the increase in speed. A DX2/66 is about
 2.5 seconds and a DX4/100 is about 2.0 seconds
 (depends on wait states).

 A SX486/33 (no coprocessor) is about 80 seconds.
 As you can see, a mathco really helps!

 If your system is not within 5 seconds of this
 value, you probably did not shadow and cache your
 system BIOS. This is a big hit on all your work!

 One system took over 1 minute, due to just this one
 error!!


y               b File Name Length

 The largest path name for any file is 42 characters!
 This includes the drive specification "C:\".

 For example: C:\DOOM2\DeeP is 13 characters long.

 The default path is always added to any file you
 read or write, so don't forget to count it.

ybNew Level

 Erases all information so you can create a level
 from scratch.

 It is suggested to increase the screen refresh delay
 to at least 50ms (see [] commands) to keep the map
 from flying all over the place. You may also want to
 set this for small levels or if you are running a
 very fast system.

ybOpen PWAD

 Read a new wad patch file. The default directory is
 set by the "patch" option. If not set, the default
 follows DOS rules (usually where you started DeeP).

 The level edited is automatically set to the first
 one found.

y The characters b.WAD are automatically appended
y if no b. is found.

ybSave

 Save the level as a PWAD file. Enter the name of the
 file, including the complete path. If no path is
 given, the file is stored in your current directory.
 Press Esc or Cancel to not do anything.

 If a file has been Read in with the same save name
 it is renamed with the .BAK extension.

 If you save to an existing name, but that file has
 never been read, the file is overwritten.

 DeePBSP should be run if you have changed any of the
 map's geometry. You can ignore this if you do not
 intend to play right now, but want to go to bed
 (it is late).

pyThe Shareware version saves up to 3 files with
 different names. The .BAK name counts as a name.
 If you read in 2 levels and save using a different
 name, the maximum is exceeded.

pyThe LITE version saves up to 6 files with
 different names.

pyThe Shareware and LITE versions do not save
 grouped PWADs.

pyThe Registered version saves up to 56 files and
 directly saves a grouped PWAD.

pyClear the REJECTS

 This prompt does not appear on a save if the
 CLearReject option is set (see alt+F5). It always
 appears if you force a node build.

 If you do not clear, the existing REJECT information
 is copied. This is OK for slight tinkering with
 existing DOOM levels, but not recommended for big
 changes.

 The REJECTS are not always cleared to give you
 freedom to experiment easier. (DeePBSP only copies
 REJECT data to make this easy.)

 If you have a level that crashes, yet you can't find
 anything wrong, try using the forced BUILD nodes
 command and clear the REJECT to bFF. If your level
 no longer crashes, you need to run a REJECT program
 or reduce the number of enemies.

pyDeePBSP will work on any PWAD file, just remember
 that it bdoes not clear the REJECT. DeePBSP will
 fix many levels built by other node builders that
 have bHOM errors.

 It is almost 100 percent reliable. It works with all
 the original levels. Be sure you run the complete
 check on a level before you build nodes!  See the
 Node Depth option for varying the BSP output.

 Some errors we've had in the past, turned out to be
 DOOM coding errors (such as exceeding the number of
 visible SideDefs). Even DOOM II will get the message
 "exceeded number of visible planes" (or something
 like that) for some monster levels we've built or if
 we create too many steps in a spiral staircase.

 The limit is 128 for 2-sided LineDefs (they can have
 a different floor and ceiling "inside"). It was less
 on earlier versions of DOOM.

 If you get visi-plane overflows, build a "floor to
 ceiling wall" to restrict your line of sight in the
 area that caused the problem. You can also reduce
 the number of LineDefs. The most common mistake made
 is to build too good a "circle" with the polygon
 tool.  Make it less perfect and it will work!

 If you run into bHOM errors, reduce the number of
 LineDefs and simplify the area. Play the level and
 see where you can reduce the number of visible level
 differences without making a big impact.

 Use the Grid feature when possible to minimize
 problems.

ybSave As diff level

 Save the level with a different level number.
 Select the level and the rest is the same as above.

ybEdit Level

 Select a different existing level to edit.

ybReset All Files

 Erases all PWAD information and resets ALL levels
 to the main IWAD.

ybReset 1 File

 Erases the PWAD information for this file and resets
 all levels that used this file to the main IWAD.

ybSave with new beHavior

 Save the level with a new HEXEN ACS script file
 compiled using the ACC.EXE script compiler.

 The script object file read replaces the current
 BEHAVIOR resource for the level you are editing.

 Press F1 help in the command for more information.

ybSave with new Mapinfo

 Save the level with a new HEXEN MAPINFO text file
 you have created. The text file read replaces the
 current MAPINFO resource.

 Press F1 help in the command for more information.

ybRead Project

 Switches to the game and files defined by the
 project.  This is how you go from editing DOOM to
 editing HERETIC or HEXEN.  It loads all files and
 options active the last time the project was open.

 For HEXEN, this is a powerful way to keep track of
 Scripts and MAPINFO details automatically.

ybRead Texture Group

 Reads in a set of predefined texture defaults.

ybBuildNode

 Save the level and always rebuild nodes.

 If you changed the Reject, the SaveRejectMask prompt
 will also appear.

ybBuildNodeAs

 Save the level with a different level number and
 always rebuild nodes.

 If you changed the Reject, the SaveRejectMask prompt
 will also appear.

ybSaveRejectMask

 You are given the following options:

awReject Mask

awSkip every  How many to fill with Pattern.
awPattern     Pattern to fill the rest with.
                 255 selects all (0xFF).

 Clear to 255 (bFF) or any pattern you like for
 TESTING or to have random fun.

 Once you change either value from the default value
 of 0, this prompt appears each time you build nodes.
 To get rid of the prompt change it back to 0/0.

 A skip value of 0, writes all the pattern.

 A skip value of 1, writes one "00" then your
 pattern, "00", pattern, etc. This is 50% pattern
 coverage.

 A skip value of 2, writes two "00" then your
 pattern, etc, this is 33% coverage.

 The Pattern also controls which sectors get
 activated. For example 15 (b0F) with a skip of 0
 is also 50% coverage in a different way.

 This is useful to debug your level. With FF, you
 can wander around the level with all the monsters
 and yet you do not have to fight them off all the
 time (most of the time).

 In addition, this is a check to see if the enemies
 are causing problems in your level.

ybCompile Script       2

 Compiles the named script using the ACC.EXE
 compiler.  The object name always ends in ".O".

 This always replaces the current BEHAVIOR object
 name with the same name as your script file, but
 the ending 2 characters are ".O".

 Set the name and location of ACC.EXE using alt+F5
 options.

ybEdit Script          3

 Edits the named script using the DOS editor or
 comparable.  Set the name and location using alt+F5
 options.

ybEdit&Compile Script  4

  Edit and Compile a script as above.

ybDeCompile Script     5

 DeCompiles the named MAP using the DEACC.EXE
 compiler.  Set the name and location using alt+F5
 options.

ybEdit MAPINFO         6

 Edits the named text file using the DOS editor or
 comparable.  Set the name and location using alt+F5
 options.

ybSave MAPINFO in file 7

 Extracts the current MAPINFO and writes it to a
 file. This is a text file you can edit as noted
 above.

ybSave Lump in a file

 Saves any PWAD (IWAD) entry to a file.  All control
 information is removed. For example, you could use
 this to save MAPINFO (as above) and the result is
 the same as the Save MAPINFO command.  SNDINFO is
 another text file.

ybSave Lump in a PWAD

 Saves any PWAD (IWAD) entry to a PWAD file. All
 control information is kept.

 Copies the data in the object lump and makes
 it into a PWAD file named byourname.WAD con-
 taining the object's name and data.

 WadFile now contains the object in the format for
 use by DOOM/HERTIC/HEXEN or DeeP. You can then read
 this file in as a replacement for DirEntry.

 The existing bName (or lump) represents an existing
 directory entry in any of the WAD files you have read.

 byourname.WAD is any valid file name and will be
 overwritten if it exists.

 You cannot use the same name as any PWAD you
 have read already.

 bnewName is the name to give the directory entry.
 This is a quick way to export data from one WAD to
 another.

 You can "borrow" textures between different versions
 by renaming the texture patchname from a name
 that doesn't exist in one to a name that does
 exist in the other.

 You use this as follows:

    a. In the File Menu Reset all the Files/Levels.
    b. Read in some PWAD you want to use replacement
       textures in.
    c. You read in all the textures you borrowed
       using the PWAD file names you gave them (as
       described above).

    If you have lots of texture files, you will
    exceed the file limit of 56. The solution is to
    read in 56 textures at a time and then group them
    into a new file.

    Then you use only 1 file for all 56. You can
    repeat this process again and now have 112
    textures in a file, etc.

    You can add exactly as many entries as there are
    entries to start with. In other words, you can
    double the size.

    You can do as many replacements as there are
    entries (of course).

    DOOM, HEXEN and HERETIC each have different color
    palettes, so the color of a DOOM texture will not
    display correctly in HEXEN or HERETIC (and visa
    versa), although you can swap textures as
    described. Use the texture conversion option to
    convert colors.

ybSave and Group Files

pyRegistered only

 Group all patch wads together in one file. When
 you BRead in more than one PWAD file, you can
 combine them into one big PWAD. This way you can
 combine all your favorite levels into 1 file that
 contains all of them.

 Example : You have created 3 levels called
 SLIDE11.WAD, STORM12.WAD and GLORY13.WAD some
 time in the past (ok, you spent the last 4 week-
 ends making them). Read all 3 of them using the
 Read command under File.

    1. SLIDE11.WAD
    2. STORM12.WAD
    3. GLORY13.WAD

 Select Group Comand to combine them all.

 To replace levels in a Bgrouped PWAD with
 different (new) levels:

    1. Read the grouped PWAD (the levels it contains
       are shown).
    2. Read in another PWAD with the level you want
       to replace. (If the PWAD does not have the
       correct level number yet, read it in first
       and then SaveAs choosing the level you want.)
    3. Group the PWAD again choosing a different name
       than what you started with (otherwise you
       would destroy the very file you are copying
       from).

    To edit levels in a Bgrouped PWAD :

    1. Edit the level you want to change.
    2. Save using the same name as before and copy
       ALL the data when prompted.

    You can also edit and save each one as
    individual files (the way you created them to
    start with). The same original name can be used.
    This also lets you reassign the level identi-
    fication, for example, from MAP03 to MAP11.

    Example : Assume you read MIXEDBAG.WAD and
    change SLIDE11.MAP  (level = MAP11).

    1. BEdit MAP11 make the changes desired.
    2. Save the level as SLIDE11.WAD (any name you
       like of course).
    3. BGroup as MIXEDBAG.WAD and now you're done!

    Group reads the information in the files, not
    what's in memory. That's why you have to save
    them again (not a bad idea if you changed the
    levels to keep from getting confused, we do).

    All levels that do not belong to the Master WAD
    file are written to the bwadfile selected.

y   For the best backup bSave modified level(s)
    with their own names before you group all the
    levels!.

ybTest Level

pyRegistered only

 Load DOOM(II) or HERETIC and play a level you
 have saved (also bShiftF1).  This tests only the
 level defined by the current file active.

ybTest all leVels

pyRegistered only

 Load DOOM(II) or HERETIC and play a level you
 have saved (also bCtrl+F1).  This tests the level
 of the current file active AND loads all PWAD files
 you have loaded.  This can be any type of PWAD.

 If you must have the older version of DOOM 1, turn
 the Response File option off (1.9 is ok).

 The parameters -file yourfile.wad -warp xx
 are automatically created. You may enter up to 80
 additional characters.

 Enter or change the testing options to what you
 normally use. These are saved for the next time.

 If you experience testing problems, make sure you
 have a least 1 wait state in your Dram.

 HERETIC is touchier than DOOM on one of our machines.
 It works fine on one, yet constantly crashes on the
 other, with the same PWAD file. So, it's probably
 the machine, right?

 Type any external PWADs you want added FIRST,
 followed by your normal test options. The
 additional PWADS add extra graphics and sounds
 to your level (do not enter your test level).

 For example: (all on one line, can't do here)

aw CHOOKV23.WAD CHKSTUFF.WAD
aw -skill 3 -nomonsters

 DeeP can also automatically load all the PWADs you
 have read in when testing (Ctrl+F1 shortcut).

 If you have DOOM and it's 1.666 or later, turn on
 the Response File option. This allows you to bypass
 the limitation of how much information you can pass
 to DOOM from DeeP (DOOM II, HERETIC and HEXEN are
 automatic).

 Upon exit, you return to DeeP and everything is
 restarted if you set the option to reload (see Edit
 help).

  example, C:\mymaps\map01.hgl

  Press F1 help in the print menu for more info.

ybNodeVieweR

  This was made for our internal use and left in so
  you can see all those pretty nodes<g>.

  For HEXEN, viewing the nodes is a must to be sure
  the node segments do not split an area for polygon
  objects (swinging doors, etc.).  You should always
  try to keep lines aligned in the same plane to
  keep the number of nodes down. If you have a
  problem you can slide the area around or draw some
  "extra" stuff to force the nodes to take a
  different path.  MAP01 in HEXEN is a good example
  next to the sliding doors.

ybDOS Shell

  Shells to DOS temporarily. Type "exit" to return to

  in CONFIG.SYS.

  For example:

     PATH=C:\DOS
     - or -
    shell=c:\dos\command.com c:\dos\ /e:1024 /p

ybeXit

pyThe Registered version prints any size map.

 The map printed is exactly the same as currently
 displayed on the screen for any resolution (please
 refer to portait printing note).

 You can zoom and get the zoomed MAP print. Use the
 Zoom-to-Window to get the exact section printed!
 (Hold the left button down and start drawing the
 selection box around the area. Then while still
 pressing the left mouse button, press Z.)

 All maps print the level as shown on the screen with
 three variations. Each type is automatically
 selected by the edit mode (Things, LineDefs,
 Sectors).

ybThing mode

  Things are shown with an X on the map. If you
  enabled Thing numbers or descriptions, these
  will print too.

ybLineDef mode

  Two-sided LineDefs are printed darker.

ybSector  mode

  Prints just the map.

ybGrid Lines

 If the grid is turned on, it is superimposed as
 dotted lines over the map at the grid size active.

 There are three additional options when printing:

ybLandScape

  This is the default. Clicking it OFF prints in
  portrait mode.

  In portrait mode the map is slightly elongated,
  but makes a long map print with more printing space
  for descriptions.

  Slide the map over to the left of the screen to
  get the map to print correctly on the paper.

ybNumberThings

  Places the thing number next to each thing.

ybThing Desc

  Places a maximum 10 character description next to
  each thing.

ybText 2X

  When you print a full size map, the printing might
  be unreadable. Normally select 2X to make it twice
  as large. Experiment to suit your printer and
  taste.


y             bPrint Operation

 If you have an HP printer that supports the HPGL
 language, you can print directly to the printer.
 If the printer prints characters and numbers
 (e.g.,PD12,55), the printer does NOT support HPGL.

 If your printer doesn't work directly, chose a file
 for output. Then import it into Word for Windows as
 an HPGL (.HGL) graphics file.

 Set the page to Landscape and maximize the margins.
 Use Insert Picture to put the map in a word
 document, importing as HPGL of course.

 You can then print the file from Word, using
 Windows' print drivers for your printer.

 You need Word's graphic import filter for .HGL
 installed (one of the options on Word setup 6.0a
 graphic filters). Download an upgrade for FREE from
 Microsoft if you have 6.0. (See Word's About Screen
 for the version number).

 NOTE: If the map is very large, Word's import filter
 does not scale correctly. Left click to select the
 Map, then drag the right edge to the right margin.

 This has been tested with Word 6.0a and Paint Shop
 Pro. Corel PhotoPaint can also import it, but it's
 pretty lousy. If you know of others, let us know and
 we'll include it here.

 On some computers, you may get an error after
 printing for a while. The message is out of our
 control, just reply Y to retry. If you are out of
 paper, put some more paper in!

 We can't control this right now, it's a dumb
 compiler problem, it won't tell us there is problem
 with printing!

  There are two buffers available:

  1. The bClipBoard buffer contains a copy of
     the last object Copied, Mirrored, Deleted
     or a copy of your last PWAD read in using
     the "Open Clipboard PWAD" command.

  2. The bUndo buffer contains a copy of the
     level prior to performing any command that
     changes the level.

 Note: The following Ctrl+ commands are the same
 as used in MS Word and other programs. This
 makes it easy to remember for those familiar
 with those programs, however, if you have never
 used them, it may appear "strange". The keys are
 grouped next to the Ctrl key and are easy to
 combine for most of us <g>.

yrCtrl+Z  Undo, restore level to prior state.

  There is only one level of Undo. If you repeat
  the command, it flips between the new and prior
  states.

  Most commands that change the map geometry make
  a copy of the level before the change is made.


yrCtrl+X  Cut objects (same as Del).

  Deletes all the selected objects. The type of
  objects deleted vary by Edit mode.

  A copy of the object is placed in the bClipBoard.

  Vertex mode: Depending on the VertexJoin Del option,
  either deletes the vertex and joins the connected
  LineDefs or deletes the vertex and all LineDefs
  using the vertex (set in alt+F5 option).

  LineDef mode:

    Delete the linedef and all vertexes if the
    vertexes are not in use by any other Linedef.

  Sector mode :

    Delete a Sector, all the linedefs and vertices
    (as above) that reference the sector(s).

    Things are also deleted if the Move Things option
    (alt+F5) is turned on.

    Teleport Things are always deleted when in Sector
    mode.

  All the deleted items are put in the bClipBoard
  buffer. If you immediately change your mind, use
  Ctrl+Z to undo the delete. If you have done other
  changes, but have not reused the paste buffer, you
  can use Ctrl+V to paste the object back, although
  you may have to "connect" some part manually.

yrCtrl+C  Copy objects  (same as O)

  Copy the selected objects to the bClipBoard.

  You should always try to get complete objects, that
  is, they should form a closed loop (see Paste
  below).

  Teleport Things are always copied when in Sector
  mode.

  If you move (by dragging) a Teleport landing Sector
  (destination), you need to be sure that the
  Teleport thing stays with the Sector. For HEXEN
  this is not important, assuming you like the spot
  already chosen.

  If you are not in Sector mode or if the drag Things
  option is not enabled, Teleport things are NOT
  moved. The F10 check will catch this as a missing
  Teleport thing.

  In LineDef and Sector mode, bshift+Left button,
  bO and bCtrl+C are all the same.

  In Sector mode, Things are also copied if the
  Move Things option (alt+F5) is turned on.


yrCtrl+V  Paste objects

  Copy the objects in the bClipBoard buffer to the
  current cursor location.  The current cursor
  location is snapped to your current Grid size if
  snap-to-grid is turned on.

  Use bCtrl+B to view the contents of the ClipBoard
  buffer.

  Place the mouse where you want the pasted object(s)
  to appear, then press Ctrl+V.

  The objects can be pasted inside an existing sector
  or placed in a new area. The resulting object Line-
  Defs are adjusted according to the destination
  sector.

  1. Placing objects in an existing sector.

     Be careful that the COMPLETE object(s) is
     enclosed by the destination sector (actually the
     LineDefs surrounding the object(s). If some
     parts stick out, the resulting object may have
     incorrect LineDefs!

     The exterior LineDefs of the object(s) are
     adjusted to point to the destination sector.
     Sidedefs are added as required to complete the
     object.

  2. Placing objects in a new area (no sector is
     there).

     The exterior LineDefs of the object(s) have the
     SideDefs deleted as required, since no exterior
     sector is present anymore. This one can present
     the most amount of "fixing" required if the
     source object is in pieces.

  NOTE : If you somehow fool DeeP into thinking that
  you are in a Sector and you are not, move to an
  area to outside the boundaries of the Map. Paste or
  Mirror there and then drag the objects back. This
  can happen if you have partial construction else-
  where in the level. (Can also work in reverse, it
  detects no Sector and you think there is!)

  If you Paste/Mirror where DeeP thinks there is a
  Sector, but you meant for it to be a new area, the
  Exterior LineDefs are not correct. Same thing for
  the opposite case.

  If you surround them by a new area, then you are OK.
  All you have to do is change the outside LineDefs
  (sidedef) sector references to your new sector. But
  if that's true, you should have made the target
  area first and then Pasted into the area!


yrCtrl+M  Mirror the object(s) selected

  Mirrors the current selected object(s) to the
  current cursor location (also see Paste).

  A mirrored object is created as if a mirror
  was placed at the current cursor location.

  There are 8 possible mirror forms of an object.
  An imaginary box is drawn around the object(s)
  to mirror. The boundaries of the box decide what
  form the mirrored object is to take.

  Suggestion: Before you mirror an object, check
  the level otherwise you will copy the object,
  defects and all.

  In Sector mode, all the LineDefs with the same
  sector are mirrored.

  In LineDef mode, only the LineDefs marked are
  mirrored. Sectors are created as required. It
  is possible that the area is "not closed" since
  you can select incomplete areas.

  bCtrl+Left Mouse button and bctl+M are all
  the same.

  For some situations manual correction is necessary.
  The most common one occurs if 2-LineDefs point to
  each other, for example:

              │ sd2a   sd2b │
             ─┤             ├─
              │ (sector 3 ) │

  Assume the sd2a is some sidedef2 that points to
  sector  3 and sd2b is another sidedef2 also
  pointing to sector 3. If you copy the LineDefs that
  contain those those sidedefs, DeeP may think that
  sd2a and sd2b are OK since they both point to the
  same sector.

  This is not always correct on outside boundaries.
  If they came from a section that looked like this:

      ┌─────────────────┬──────────────────┐
      │     Some Sector /LineDef area      │
      │                                    │
      │          ┌──────┴──────┐           │
      ├─         │    sd2c     │          ─┤
      │          │             │           │
      │         ─┤sd2a     sd2b├─          │
      │          │             │           │
      └────┴─────┘ (sector 3 ) └─────┴─────┘

  In the above example, sd2a, sd2b, sd2c were
  originally a separate area all sharing the same
  sector 3.  DeeP will fix sd2c, since no sector
  3 is found looking "South", but sd2a and sd2b look
  OK (as mentioned earlier).

  If the source object (in the Clipboard or from the
  selected objects for Mirror) is not complete, that
  is, some parts (LineDefs) are missing, DeeP
  attempts to determine what to do.

  If the object(s) selected have an open area between
  their own LineDefs (such as a spiral stair), they
  will appear as a "good" sector to DeeP, as noted
  above, but that sector was originally the sector
  that the object(s) came from.

  So adjust as required, by deleting those areas that
  DeeP could not determine as valid or ADD the
  missing sector by completing the pasted object(s)
  and correcting the LineDefs and Sector references.


ybAdd Object (Same as bIns key)

 If you insert multiple Sectors at the same location
 they are deleted when you run the Xref check (if
 you never use them.

 New Sectors use the default values you set in
 Texture defaults.

 Also refer to the documentation of the bIns key
 for some more information.


y         r    Ins Vertex mode
y         r   Line Drawing Tool

 This creates the LineDefs/SideDefs/Sectors for a
 level.

 You can start Line Drawing Mode three ways:

 1. From Vertex mode, quickly double click the left
    mouse.
 2. Pressing Ctrl+D from any mode.

 3. Quick double right click and select LineDraw.

 Insert Mode continues until you stop it with the
 Right Mouse button (the normal method), press the
 bEsc or bInskey. If have made some lines already,
 press either of these again to exit.

 LineDefs, SideDefs and Sectors are automatically
 created.


 There are two variations in Vertex mode:

 b1. If 1 or no vertex is selected, press the Left
    mouse button to create Vertices/LineDefs.

    if 1 vertex is selected, the next vertex is auto-
    matically connected to the one selected. Use this
    method to connect multiple areas.

    Draw over an existing LineDef of the old area to
    automatically make the old LineDef 2-sided and
    make the new sector share the same character-
    istics as the one you are connecting to.

    Each time the Left button is pressed a Vertex and
    a LineDef is created (if you have 2 or more
    vertices).

a           y Joining Areas

    If you are joining areas, move the cursor over an
    existing vertex in the area to join. Make it
    select (bottom box shows it and the vertex lights
    up/sound) and then press the left button. The
    existing vertex is now selected and joined to the
    priorvertex.

    Go over the existing LineDef to make it 2-sided
    somewhere in your creation path.

    If you miss, manually move the vertex by dragging
    it on top of the other one (stop insert mode
    first by pressing the Right Mouse button).

    The current grid is used to align vertices
    (Snap-to-Grid active).

    A grid of 8 is recommended. Move an existing
    vertex to make it line up if you can't match
    because the grid misaligns it.

a           y Splitting Lines

    If you place a vertex directly on top of an
    existing line, the line is automatically split.

    The line turns color (default RED) and shows the
    line as split. If the line did not turn color and
    the "arrows" did not appear at the when the
    vertex was created, you "missed" the LineDef.

    Increase the Zoom, adjust the grid or snap-to-
    grid as appropriate.  If the LineDef is on the
    grid, snap-to-grid should be on. If the LineDef
    is off the grid, turn snap-to-grid off.  You
    should also set the grid size to match the area.

 b2. If exactly 2 vertexes are selected, a new
    LineDef connecting the two is created. Insert
    mode automatically ends.

    This is mostly used for odd situations where
    you are connecting two separate areas or you
    are fixing a mistake.


 Press the Right button to stop inserting. The last
 two open vertices are connected, creating the last
 LineDef to close. The SideDefs and Sector is
 automatically created (unless you turned Auto Insert
 Sector OFF).

 If you do not want the LineDefs closed, press the
 bEsc key.

 A check is made to see if any obvious overlaps exist.
 The check can be turned off in Edit Options for
 faster operation.

 If you press bC, the command is immediately
 stopped and no SideDefs and Sector are created.

 When creating an area, you should end up with all
 the LineDefs forming a complete loop. All the arrows
 should point the same way.

y              r Rooms and Objects

 Rooms:

 Draw Rooms clockwise. An inner New sector is created.
 All the LineDefs are 1-sided.

 Objects:

 Draw Objects inside a room counter-clockwise. The
 room Sector is assigned to the LineDefs made.

 If you do this outside a room, a brand new Sector is
 assigned. If SmartDraw is enabled, the LineDefs are
 automatically flipped to clockwise, since normally
 that's how they should be for a Room. DeeP assumes
 you made a mistake and fixed it for you. If you
 don't want it to do this, turn SmartDraw off and
 DeeP will assume you know what you are doing!

 You will fix this of course. This results in a
 Sector not closed message if you forget.

 Flip the LineDef (F8 Misc menu) to correct any
 errors.

 LineDefs that do not loop result in Sector not
 closed messages. Also LineDefs that butt heads
 (they do not all go the same direction) also cause
 Sector not closed errors (if not 2-sided).

 If the ends do not touch, use method 2 above to
 connect the opening or select one of the vertices
 and drag it on top of the other one. Reply yes to
 merge them together (works only if you haven't
 turned the check off).

 If you want to Insert Sector for the inner portion,
 complete the unfinished area by selecting all the
 LineDefs (or outline a complete bclosed area).
 Then switch to LineDef mode (press bL) and press
 bIns again to create SideDefs and a Sector for the
 inner area. Now all the LineDefs are 2-sided.


y               rIns LineDef mode

 In LineDef mode when a group of LineDefs are
 selected and you press bIns a new Sector is
 created and one SideDef in each LineDef is bound to
 this Sector. The edit mode will switch to editing
 Sectors.

 Normally, SideDef1 already exists, so it adds
 SideDef2 to all the sides and makes the LineDefs
 2-sided with no textures.

 If SideDef1 did not exist, it adds SideDef1 and
 nothing else.


y              rIns Sector mode

 Use this to create a new Sector that you are going
 to manually reference with a SideDef or to replace
 a Sector that was manually deleted in the SideDefs
 and now you want it to have a different sector.

 This is normally done, when you can't change the
 existing Sector, since it is shared by other
 enclosed areas (you would change all of them),
 so a new one is created.

 The LineDef/ SideDefs involved are manually changed
 to point to the new Sector.

 Select and modify LineDefs by using the Del key to
 get rid of Sectors/SideDefs you don't want and add
 new ones back in by pressing Ins. You may also want
 to change the references to SideDefs or Sectors to
 -1, the same as deleting them, with the advantage
 that you can tailor each individually without any
 danger of loosing it all!


y               rIns Thing mode

 A new Thing matching the current object selected is
 created.


ybDelete Object

 Same as bDel key. Press the Del key again to
 confirm the deletion.

 For Vertex mode only, the Vertex and all connected
 LineDefs are Joined OR if the VertexDel Join option
 is turned OFF, the Vertex and all connected
 LineDefs are deleted (see VertexDel).


ybClear Selection

 Same as pressing C to clear or hold the Left mouse
 button down for about 1/2 a second.

ybThing Filter Mask  K

 Clear/Mark the boxes to display or not display the
 items shown.

 The mask also controls the Things selected by a
 selection box drawn around the Things.

 Press F1 help in the command for more help.

ybOpen ClipBoard PWAD

  Places the contents of the PWAD read into the
  clipboard (including Things). This data can be
  copied with the Paste (Ctrl+V) command.

ybview ClipBoard   Ctrl+B

  Displays an image of the current object(s) in the
  clipboard (including Things). This is the data
  copied with the Paste (Ctrl+V) command.

ybview Sprites

  Display any Sprite in the IWAD file.
  Use the +/- keys to Zoom.

ybview All Graphics

  Display any Graphic in the IWAD file.
  Use the +/- keys to Zoom.

ybview PCX Image Ctrl+F7

 Displays screen shots made while playing the game.
 The PCX viewer is made for DOOM/HERETIC/HEXEN PCX
 files ONLY.

 Press F1 for more information in the command.

ybview Active Files

 Display all files read in.

ybview Lump Contents

 Displays the contents in HEX and character for any
 IWAD/PWAD entry. You can print just the current page
 displayed or the complete file.

ybSave and make an IWAD

pyRegistered only

  Build a new main WAD file (all umpteen megabytes)
y replacing levels with any PWAD you have bRead.

ybConvert File into PWAD

 Copies the data in a File and makes it into
 a PWAD file containing the directory entry name
 (lump name) selected and File data.

bFile is any existing file with data in a
 format usable by DOOM/HERETIC/HEXEN.

 The resulting name cannot be the same name as any
 PWAD you have read already.

 bLumpName represents a directory entry name. If
 you intend to replace a directory entry with this
 file, choose an existing directory name.

 This is useful only if File is in the correct
 format for use by DOOM. You can then read this
 file in as a replacement for DirEntry.


yb Texture Composite Viewer

 Use this feature to select the actual Lump name when
 you replace textures or want to draw on a texture.

 Briefly, the textures in the games consist of one or
 more "patches" or pieces.  DOOM and DOOM II had many
 composite textures.  This was cut down quite a bit
 in HERETIC and HEXEN. The original purpose was
 probably to save disk space.

 Press F1 for more information after selecting this
 option.


ybConvert Textures

 Registered only

 Converts all textures read from PWADs to the
 palette required by the current game. This means
 you can lift textures from DOOM/II and give
 HERETIC and HEXEN a lift (you can go the other
 way too).

 **WARNING** this overwrites the current texture
 file.

 You can create one file with all the textures
 in one game using the "Export all Textures" command.

 After you create this file, switch to a new
 project (different game), read in the texture
 file you made and then convert.

 Note: When you read in the new texture made by the
 "Export all Textures" command, you are replacing
 the current TEXTURE and PNAMES lumps with the names
 that belong to the "other" game.

 This means that all the names are now changed to the
 "other" game name and that the defaults no longer
 exist. So ignore the missing default message and be
 SURE to not build a level with this file still
 loaded.  Use "Reset All Files" to get the standard
 textures back.

 The same comment applies to the "Flats".

 It is best not to have any other files loaded when
 you do this (or only other texture files) so DeeP
 does not misinterpet data as graphics when it is not
 (program might hang).

 The resulting textures will now be displayed with
 the correct (well close enuf<g>) colors.

 Only DOOM->HERETIC and HERETIC->DOOM are done.
 DOOM->HEXEN is almost complete. The rest have not
 been worked on yet although you can play with it.

ybExport all Textures

  Saves all the textures into one separate file
  (advanced). This includes the TEXTURE1/2 names and
  PNAME entries. You don't have to make this file
  if you just want to customize a few texture
  patches.

  If you just want to change a few patches, use the
  save Lump to a PWAD command, selecting only the
  patches you wish to change. Then either group these
  patches (after you modify them) with your level or
  all them in the -FILE command when you play you
  level.

  For example, DOOM -FILE MYLEVEL.WAD -MYTEXTUR.WAD

  Use this to create:

  1. A file containing all the textures you want
     to convert from one game to another.

  2. A file containing all the texture you want
     to modify using the ADD drawing mode.

  For example, if you are in DOOM mode, entering
 this command creates a file containing all the
  DOOM textures.  You then put DEEP into HERETIC
  mode (by reading a HERETIC project), read in
  this file and then choose texture convert from
  the file menu to convert these textures to HERETIC
  colors.

  If you want to draw on the textures, open the
  file just created and then select Draw on Any
  Graphic.


ybExport all Flats

  Saves all the floor and ceiling graphics into one
  separate file (advanced). Use this to create a
  file with all these graphics so you can modify them
  using "Draw on Any Flat" command or any other
  program.

  All the Flat lumps have to be together for DOOM to
  recognize your changes in an external PWAD. The
  special entries F_START and F_END are automatically
  copied.


ybDraw on Any Graphic

  You can draw on any wall texture, sprite or other
  graphic following the "texture" storage format.
  This includes many other graphic symbols, such as
  the fonts, logos and special screen display
  symbols.


ybDraw on Any Flat

  You can draw on any floor or ceiling texture. They
  have a special storage format.


ybSave Palette to a File

 Save the current PLAYPAL entry to a text format file
 compatible with the PaintShopPro (or any JASC
 enabled) graphics drawing program.  Makes it a snap
 to instantly match the palette exactly.


ybTexture Defaults    F5

 Changes the default values for wall, floor, ceiling
 textures for the different type of objects and floor
 and ceiling heights. (Press F1 within the selection
 for more information).

ybLoad Options/Etc Alt+F5

 Changes the default values for the video resolution,
 files, and various startup options. Press F1 in this
 selection to see more help.

ybZoom/Mouse/Map Opt F6

 Changes the default values for wall, floor, ceiling
 textures for the different type of objects and floor
 and ceiling heights. For HEXEN, the door and lift
 speeds and delays are also here, although these
 values are automatically updated as you change them
 in making a level.

 Save these defaults to a different name by selecting
 the alt+F5 menu, selecting Set Texture Group and
 entering a new name.

 The value for the Floor/Ceiling increment is used
 when the PageUp/PageDown keys are used in the number
 boxes for ceiling and floor heights. The values are
 increased/decreased by this amount.

 Edit these to suit your taste. When you follow a
 theme, you may want to make the defaults follow your
 main idea. For example choose stone defaults for a
 castle theme.

 The textures values for DOOM are for DOOM II. Adjust
 the values for DOOM.

 Any textures can be used for walls with only 1-side.
 For walls with 2-sides, you have to be careful if
 you use textures on BOTH sides.

 Textures come in 2 flavors, single patch and multi-
 patch.  All textures start out (of course) as a
 graphic. If a texture is made from only 1 graphic,
 it is suitable for use anywhere.

 A texture made from a composite of other textures is
 called multi-patch. That means that a combination of
 graphics combine to make the texture you see. If you
 use the Picture command (end DeeP graphic mode and
 enter the character mode prompt) you see ALL the
 raw graphic elements of DOOM/HERETIC.

 Some of the textures look just like the walls
 textures, but the name is not the same. If the
 graphic is exactly the same, then that graphic is
 a single-patch for that texture.

 If you examine the others, you'll see that by
 combining them, you have the other textures. These
 composites are multi-patch textures.

 The texture selection box displays the number of
 patches for a textures to help you decide if the
 texture is suitable.

 The default textures are all 1-sided to keep
 beginners out of trouble with textures. Bad textures
 cause weird colors and a "freezing" of action. If
 you run the Check option, it will tell you where you
 have problems automatically.

 You can choose textures made up from a combination
 of other textures (patches), but you have to be
 careful not to use them where you have textures on
 both sides of a wall.


a                     y Ceiling

 The ceilings for objects are only used if you are
 making a Room. This is an object that is not inside
 an existing area. If an object is made inside an
 existing area, the current ceiling is used.


a                     y F_SKY1

 F_SKY1/F_SKY is a special texture name results in the
 SKYx textures used for upper Textures and Ceilings.

 When you create predefined Teleports objects, DeeP
 looks for this name. If F_SKY1 is used, the Teleport
 ceiling is also set to F_SKY1, not the default value.


a                  y Texture Sizes

 The floor and ceiling textures align on a 64x64
 grid. Most of the time you don't care. When you make
 small areas, the way the texture appears is decided
 by how it aligns on the grid.

 So for teleports, they look best if they align
 perfectly on a 64x64 grid.

 Walls have similar guidelines. Use the X-axis
 (left to right) texture alignment to minimize the
 number of "lines" in a wall. For short walls it can
 make a big difference how good the walls look.
 Stairs are a good example.

 This is a judgement call and takes some experience
 to decide. This is normally done when you are
 finishing a level. One of the detailing steps!

 Top to bottom (Y-axis) alignment is trickier, but
 made a lot easier with interactive texture align-
 ment. You can see the textures drawn with the offset
 directly on the screen!

 The simplest is to try and Unpeg the upper or lower
 texture (see the Unpegged discussion in LineDefs).

 For 1-sided LineDefs:

 1. Normal textures are always drawn from the top down.

 2. Unpegged textures are drawn from the bottom up.

 For 2-sided LineDefs:

 1. Unpegging the Upper texture draw the texture from
    the top down. Normally they are drawn from the
    bottom up.

 2. Unpegging the lower texture draws the Lower
    texture from the bottom up. Normally they are
    drawn from the top down. In some situations, the
    DOOM engine adds its own "height" offset before
    drawing the texture. We are almost done making
    all this automatic too.

yb                Options

aySound Selection

 Sound when object is selected.

aySound Errors

 Sound when an error occurs.

ayLineDef Split

 Perform a check to see if any vertices are on top
 of a LineDef every time Vertices move. Disabling
 this speeds up editing large levels at the risk of
 missing mistakes you might make.

 An overlap check for Vertices is always done.

aySelect Object0

 Select object 0 the first time.

ayAdditive Select

 Add currently selected objects to all in the current
 select box.

ayAuto Start

 Automatically restart DeeP in Edit mode,

 Use -n when loading to temporarily suppress.

ayAuto Load

 Automatically reloads the last PWADs you were
 editing.

 Use -n when loading to temporarily suppress.

ayGrid Dashed

 Set grid lines to be dashed or solid lines.

aySelect Dashed

 Set select box lines to be solid or dashed.

ayCache Textures

 Activate this to speed up the display of textures.
 You should have at least 5MB free when you start
 up. Turn this OFF if you run out of memory.

 The first time the textures are displayed there is
 some delay, subsequent displays use the resident
 copy.

 If you use up the memory for textures, the Thing
 display will not have any left. So if you display
 things in picture mode on the map, you may not want
 to cache textures if you have limited memory.

 Any texture over 32,768 is not cached. There are
 a few of those. This compromise lets more "small"
 textures be resident, rather than a few "big"
 ones.


ayThick Lines

 Increase the line thickness to 3. Useful when you
 use large monitors at high resolutions or use a
 white background.

ayResponse File

 When testing, create a response file. This is always
 done for DOOM II and HERETIC. DOOM 1.666 and later
 also supports this. The default is a response file,
 since the older versions have more problems, so most
 are newer?

 (See Testing help under File help).

ayVertex Arrows

 Places direction arrows in Vertex Mode.

aySnap Cursor

 Cursor automatically follows menus.

ayExpert Mode

 Turn this ON to not have confirmations for deleting
 anything nor a warning when you flip SideDefs. Be
 careful to catch loose fingers <g>.

 Sector create and merge error messages also do not
 appear! So be sure you check your work.

ayThing Picture

 Display a picture of all Things in any edit mode.
 The type of Thing (circle or picture) is set by the
 last setting in bT display. See what you like!
 The default is a cross.

ayMenu Nesting

 Keeps menus displayed until you quit by pressing Esc
 or clicking the Right mouse button.

 If you turn this OFF, all of the menus, except for
 Things, exit after you select one item. This
 behavior is similar to DEU. You may wish to switch
 this back and forth, especially if you are
 "touching" up a level.

ayShowDrawLength

  Displays the length of each line in LineDrawing
  mode next to the cursor.

  OFF displays no line length. The length is also
  displayed in the upper left corner.

ayTexture Display

  Wall textures are displayed on the right side if
  this is turned off.  Experiment to see which way
  you prefer to see the textures.

ayCeiling Display

  Ceiling textures are displayed on the right side if
  this is turned off.  Experiment to see which way you
  prefer to see the textures.

 For example: bC:\DOOM2\DOOM2.WAD for DOOM2.

 The maximum length is 43 characters!

 Press F1 help when selected for more information.

ay 7 Save & Paste Path

 1. The default Drive and Directory path choosen
    when you read or save files.

 2. The default Drive and Directory path choosen
    when you read into the paste buffer using the
    Open Clipboard PWAD command.

 You can manually type over the drive:\directory
 when you read or save, this is the default if no
 entry is made.

 The maximum File path length is 26 characters!

 Press F1 help when selected for more information.

ay 8 Set Texture Group

 This step creates a Texture Group file for all the
 current texture defaults.

 Press F1 help when selected for more information.

ay 9 Script Compiler

 This sets the path and name of the HEXEN script
 compiler (ACC.EXE).

 Press F1 help when selected for more information.

ay A Script Editor

 This sets the path and name of the HEXEN text
 editor for scripts or MAPINFO.

ay B Script DeCompiler

 This sets the path and name of the HEXEN script
 decompiler (DEACC.EXE).

aySector Join

  This is for Vertex LineDef drawing mode only.

  If this option is ON, when you draw over an
  existing LineDef the Sector used by that LineDef
  is extended to the new area drawn.

  Press shift+Right Mouse button to override the
  setting.

  When this option is OFF, the opposite is true.
  Even if you draw over an existing LineDef, new
  Sectors are always created.

  To override this setting, press shift+Right Mouse
  button to join to the existing Sector.

  (Draw over only 1 LineDef).

ayVertexDel Join

  This is for Vertex mode only.

  If this option is ON, the Del key deletes a vertex
  and joins the two LineDefs (on each side of the
  vertex) into one.

  If no LineDef is connected to the vertex, the
  vertex is always deleted.

  If this option is OFF, the Del key deletes all
  LineDefs connected to the vertex.

  Press shift+Del to perform the opposite of this
  setting. For example, if Join is set, press
  shift+Del to delete the Vertex and the LineDefs,
  rather than joining them.

ayEnable Undo

  Normally you would not change this. This sets
  support for the Ctrl+Z Undo command.

  If you have a HUGE level, only 4MB of RAM and who
  knows what else, you may have to turn the Undo OFF
  so you have enough memory for other stuff.

ayMove Things

  Turn this ON if you want Sector copies and deletes
  to also copy and delete the Things in the Sector(s).
  This takes a bit longer, depending on the machine
  and level size.

ayDrag Things

  Turn this ON if you want Sector Dragging to also
  move the Things in the Sector(s). This takes a
  bit longer, depending on the  machine and level
  size.

  Dragging, drags only those Things in the same
  sector(s) you are dragging. If you have sectors
  within sectors, select them ALL to drag all
  Things!!

  Sector that are indirectly connected do not have
  the Things moved. Those are the LineDefs that
  "slant" with the Sector when you move.

aySmartDraw

  Turn this OFF if you are drawing areas where the
  Intelligent Inference Drawing (IID) code is
  flipping your LineDefs and you want them as drawn.

  This occurs when DeeP determines that all SideDef1s
  do not point to a matching sector and thus
  concludes that you must have drawn it backwards.

  This is normally a correct assumption, but being
  smart can also make it stupid, so this option is
  here just in case!

ayClearReject

  Turn this OFF if you want to always answer the
  Clear Reject prompt.  You may want to do reply No
  to the prompt if you have a level that has a good
  REJECT (which took some time) and the changes you
  made will not change anything.

  You can always temporarily override by using the
  Build Nodes option when you save. The prompt always
  appears when forcing a node build.

ayGroupSave

  Turn this ON to always save grouped PWADS.
  No prompt will appear.

ayTool Continue

  Turn this OFF to end Tool mode after one object
  object (Rectangle/Polygon/etc.) is created.

  ON keeps the Tool active so you can make more
  objects of the same type.

ayShowDragLength

  Displays the length of up to 30 LineDefs when
  dragging in LineDef or Vertex mode. This provides
  instant feedback on the length of the line(s)
  dragged, making is very easy to set the length
  precisely.

  Use the F6 option to change the maximum number of
  lines displayed. The default is 3.

  Turn this OFF if you do not want to see lengths
  displayed.

ayCursorKeys move Map

   Turn to ON if you want the cursor keys to move
   the MAP instead of the Home/End/Page keys.

   The default is OFF and these keys move the mouse
   cursor.

ayObject Select Range

 Determines the sensitivity to selecting objects
 near the cursor.

ayOverlap Tolerance

 Determines the number of Doom unit variance to allow
 before two points are considered to have the same
 coordinates. Default = 3.

 Decrease if you are creating very tight areas.

 It is normally impractical to make it 0, since you
 have to be EXACTLY on top of a vertex to make it
 overlap. This allows some leeway to make it easier
 to merge vertices.

ayLower Grid

 The minimum grid size.

ayUpper Grid

 The maximum grid size.

ayShowDragLength Limit

 When ShowDragLines is enabled (alt+F5), sets the
 maximum number of lengths to display at one time.

 Select a number that suits your style and monitor.

ayLower Zoom

 The lower zoom limit when Z is pressed.

ayUpper Zoom

 The upper zoom limit when Z is pressed.

ayLower - Key zoom

 The lower zoom limit for b- key zooming.

ayUpper + Key zoom

 The upper zoom limit for b+ key zooming.

ayXalign Minimum

  The minimum valid value for Xalignment.  Normally
  this is -255 since the maximum texture width is
  256, thus alignment past this is not required.

  If you are using textures wider than 256, increase
  this number.

ayXalign Maximum

  The maximum valid value for Xalignment.  Normally
  this is 255 since the maximum texture width is 256,
  thus alignment past this is not required.

  If you are using textures wider than 256, increase
  this number.

ayYalign Minimum

  The maximum valid value for Yalignment.  Normally
  this is -127 or more since the maximum texture
  height is normally 128. Alignment past the texture
  height usually makes no sense.

  The default value is -255 for compatibility with
  existing levels. We suggest making it -127.

  There are some "special" effects that require an
  exception.

ayYalign Maximum

  The maximum valid value for Yalignment.  Normally
  this is 127 or less since the maximum texture
  height is normally 128. Alignment past the texture
  height usually makes no sense.

  The default value is 255 for compatibility with
  existing levels. We suggest making it 127.

  There are some "special" effects that do, for
  example, the "bar door", a door made from bars
  that rises, normally not possible. It also
  requires a special construction technique!

ayNode Depth

  Change this to a minus number (usually -4 to
  -8) to get TURBO mode nodes built for rapid
  development.  A positive number (usually 4 to 8 is
  for FINAL nodes.

  HEXEN usually requires FINAL mode and most DOOM/
  HERETIC levels are OK in TURBO mode. Experiment
  to see what works best for you. FINAL mode also
  does a better job of balancing the node tree.
  This helps performance on large levels.

  For some Maps, vary this value to try to fix
  "barrier" problems you may encounter with large
  levels or disappearing walls. This is usually
  cause by 2-sided lines drawn clockwise instead
  of counterclockwise.

  A lower value is recommended (like 4) to start
  with. Also try the two ways of building nodes,
  TURBO vs FINAL.

  Changing the angle of LineDefs also can fix
  problem areas. Try to make vertex points align
  with other vertices if possible.

  A different nodebuilder using a different
  formula, may also fix the problem. This is
  fairly unusual, although has been observed.
  WARM is one recommended alternative, but not
  BSP1.2.


x              y Screen 2 preferences

ayRuler Radius

 Set the radius for the ruler. Three rectangles are
 drawn. Starting with the value given, each inner
 rectangle is 1/2 the prior size. A size of 0 is no
 rectangle.

ayMap Scroll Speed

 Determines the amount the map moves when the cursor
 touches the edges.

ayMouse Sensitivity

 Set how fast the cursor moves. First time is the
 original value.

ayMouse Click Speed

 Sets the double click speed in Milliseconds (ms).
 This also determines how long a button has to be
 held to enter drag or select mode.

 Increasing this, makes "selection" slower.
 Experiment to fit your click style.

ayMouse Timer Value (*#)

 This is the timer calibration value dynamically
 assigned by DeeP the first time it was installed.
 If you get a new system, you should delete DEEP.CHK
 and then DEEP will reconfigure all the defaults.

 You can also change the value here.  For example, if
 you started with a 486DX/33, the number is around
 3000.  If you later upgrade to a 486DX4/100, the
 number should be about 6000. Manually adjust the
 number higher if have a faster processor to get
 response times that suit you.  A good test is the
 "About DeeP" screen under Help on the top menu bar.
 The monsters should cycle smoothly.

 The (*#) represents any adjustment required to keep
 the number below 32768.  High end machines may have
 a value greater than 1.

ayThing Fill Pattern

 You can change the pattern display of the Things to
 one of the following values:

 │  0 │ Thing Color Transparent
 │  1 │ Solid fill
 │  2 │ ---
 │  3 │ ///
 │  4 │ ///, thick lines
 │  5 │ \\\, thick lines
 │  6 │ \\\
 │  7 │ Light hatch
 │  8 │ Heavy crosshatch
 │  9 │ Interleaving lines
 │ 10 │ Widely spaced dots
 │ 11 │ Closely spaced dots

ayPalette Number

 Adjust for you monitor. Loads a different palette
 from the IWAD. 1 through 8 are redder. 0 and 9 are
 similar. 13 is green.

 More stuff in the future. Adjust to your viewing
 pleasure.

ayBeep Browse Freq

 Speaker beep frequency as you move the cursor across
 the map and different items select (color changes to
 Yellow).

ayBeep Select Freq

 Speaker beep frequency when you select an item with
 the left mouse button (color changes to Green).

ayBeep Error Freq

 Speaker beep frequency when an error message appears.

 All boxes together decide the Things to display.
 Except for deaf, if the box is not active, that
 item is not shown.

 HEXEN : Deaf and Dormant select ONLY ENEMIES that
 are Deaf or Dormant. Other types are ignored.

 The mask also controls the Things selected by a
 selection box drawn around the Things.

 Clear/Mark the boxes to display or not display the
 items shown.

 The selection has three separate criteria for DOOM
 and HERETIC and five separate criteria for HEXEN.

 To select a Thing, it must pass the selections
 choosen for each set of criteria.

 Example1 (DOOM and HERETIC):

    1. Select a skill level.
    2. Select ONLY deaf (enemies only).
    3. Select the thing classification.

    If you mark skill level 1, deaf, and only Enemies,
    all deaf enemies for skill level 1 display.

 Example2 (HEXEN):

    1. Select a skill level.
    2. Select Single or Cooperative.
    3. Select ONLY deaf,dormant (enemies)
    4. Select if Fighter,Mage,Cleric.
    5. Select the thing classification.
    6. Select PolyObjects (see below).

    If you mark skill level 1, Enemies, Fighter and
    then mark Single Player, then only all enemies
    for skill level 1, Fighter class and Single
    Player display (deaf/dormant were not marked).

 HEXEN's additional filter option, PolyObjects, can
 display only PolyObjects. The Player/Tele/Mapspot
 flag is turned ON and then turn all the other
 options OFF, leaving only PolyObjects ON.

y               b   Tools

  All the tools create the type of object inter-
  actively on the screen.

  Rectangles or Polygons drawn directly from the
  mouse sub-menu draw different LineDefs compared to
  those drawn from the Object menu selected from the
  top menu bar.

  1. Shapes drawn from the mouse submenu:

     Tool shapes drawn inside existing areas make
     2-sided LineDefs with no textures.

     Tool shapes drawn outside existing areas make
     1-sided LineDefs with normal textures.


  2. Shapes drawn from the top Object menu:

     Regular Tool shapes drawn inside existing areas
     make 1-sided LineDefs with normal textures.

     Tool shapes drawn outside existing areas make
     1-sided LineDefs with normal textures.


  Move the Mouse to change the angle or size. Press
  F1 when using the Tool to see the appropriate
  commands to size the object.

  The Left mouse button is used to accept the object
  as drawn. bEnter also accepts the object.

  The Right mouse button drags the object on the map
  after it is shown. If no object is drawn yet, the
  right button cancels the Tool command.

  bEsc or bC also cancel the command.

  BE CAREFUL when making MANY SIDES! Sometimes you
  will get a visi-plane error. This is inconsistent
  and varies on when/how/where you play in the map.
  (Somewhere around 128).

  So sometimes it will play fine and sometimes it
  doesn't. Just depends on the sequence of events
  (a coding error in DOOM and HERETIC?)

  You should probably limit yourself to around 32
  stair steps and test those beyond that. We have
  built 200 steps, but the rest of the area was
  fairly empty. So try it and see what happens. The
  effort will be worth it.


y      b   LineDef & SideDef   L

 The following 2 character abbreviations are
 used in the LineDef type descriptions:

 The first letter :

 bD Door       - a door, duh..
 bS Switch     - a switch, same..
 bW Walk       - walk across to activate
 bG Gun        - shoot to activate

 The second letter :

 bR Repeatable - works every time
 b1 One time   - works only once


 The following abbreviations are used in the
 shortened type name :

 bO  Door stays open
 bC  Door closes after 4-6 seconds
 bF  Door opens fast
 bS  Stays open when shot
 bCe Floor rises until it reaches the ceiling
 bNe Floor rises/lowers until it reaches floor
    height of adjacent (Neighbor) Sector.
 bT  Same as Ne, but the texture and type of
    Sector are also changed.
 b<> Modifiers for Ne, Ce and T to indicate
    where the it stops, < means below a
    floor and > means above a ceiling.

 The options available vary according to the editing
 mode. The second option is the same for all editing
 modes.

y2. bFind First Free Tag

    Locates the first tag number that has not yet
    been used in this map. This always automatically
    shows when you enter a new tag as the number
    between ().

  The rest of the options vary by mode as follows:

b                    yThings Mode

y1. b  Rotate and Scale Thing(s)

    Move marked Things by the degree of rotation and
    a percentage scale.

    This is the same as b< > which is a quicker way
    to Enter Scale/Rotate mode.


b                   yVertices Mode

y1. b  Rotate and Scale Vertices

    Move marked Vertices by the degree of rotation
    and a percentage scale.

    This is the same as b< > which is a quicker way
    to Enter Scale/Rotate mode.

y3. b  Delete Vertex and join LineDef(s)

    Deletes the marked vertex and joins Linedef(s)
    that were previously connected to the vertex.

    If the VertexJoin option is enabled, the Del key
    does the same thing.

y4. b  Merge several Vertices into one

    Same as #3 above, with multiple Vertices.

y5. b  Add LineDef & Split Sector

    You must mark exactly TWO Vertices from the SAME
    Sector before calling this command. This adds a
    LineDef and a new Sector.

    See Vertex Ins mode for a second way to do this.

b             yLineDefs/S SideDefs Mode

    This can also be done by drawing a LineDef from
    one side to the other. When you end by pressing
    the Right mouse button, DeeP asks if you want to
    split the Sector or make the LineDef 2-sided.

b             yLineDefs & SideDefs Mode

y1. b  Rotate and Scale LineDefs

    Move marked LineDefs by the degree of rotation
    and a percentage scale.

    This is the same as b< > which is a quicker way
    to Enter Scale/Rotate mode.

y3. b  Split LineDef (add new Vertex)

    Splits the selected LineDef(s).

y4. b  Split LineDefs and Sector

    Splits the selected LineDefs by adding a vertex
    at the midpoint, connecting the new Vertices with
    a LineDef which divides the original Sector.

    See Vertex Ins mode for a second way to do this.

y5. b  Delete LineDefs and join Sectors

    Removes the selected two-sided LineDef(s) that
    divide Sectors and makes them into a single
    Sector.

y6. b  Flip LineDef and Swap SideDefs

    Flips the LineDef(s) start and endpoints.

    Also swap the SideDefs. This reverses the 1st and
    2nd SideDefs. This alters the Sector references,
    what was on one side is now on the other side.

    Normally, you wouldn't do both, unless you have
    big plans in mind. DEU does both at the same
    time, so that's why it's here.

y7. b  Swap LineDef SideDefs (Ctrl+S)

    Swaps SideDef(s) 1 and 2. This swaps the Sectors
    assigned to each side, so check that the Sectors
    match correctly!

    This is the same as bCtrl+S.

y8. b  Flip LineDef Vertex Only (Ctrl+F)

    Flips the LineDef(s) start and endpoints.

    This is the same as bCtrl+F.

y9. b  Align Textures (Y offset)

    Align the textures on the Y offset. The first
    LineDef selected is used as the reference point.

    This is for vertical (up->down) Y alignment. Any
    textures that have the upper or lower texture
    unpegged are ignored.

y10.b  Align Textures (X Offset)

    This is for horizontal (left->right) X alignment.

    Select a group of LineDefs that follow each other.
    Select in the direction the arrows point. The
    exact sequence doesn't matter, but the direction
    arrow of each LineDef has to go to same.

    Each LineDef can connect to only 1 other LineDef
    at the start or end of the line. You can't have
    an "intersection" selected.

    The first one in the "chain" gets the initial
    offset value. The first one is the one you can
    SEE. The beginning has no arrow. The last LineDef
    in the list has the arrow.

    If the LineDefs form a complete loop, the one the
    cursor is positioned on is is the first one
    aligned, i.e., it gets the first offset value.

    The 2nd SideDef is aligned in reverse, but still
    selected the same way. The sequence is auto-
    matically reversed. The last LineDef selected is
    the first one aligned. They all flow in reverse
    of the 1st SideDef sequence.

    Textures can be checked for Identical Names or
    the names of the textures are ignored and are
    not compared.

    If you ignore checking textures for the same
    name, each time the texture name changes, the
    alignment offset is reset to 0 if you answer yes
    to the prompt that appears or the offset
    calculations continue.

    This is the sequence of texture selection:

    1. If no Normal textures is found the Upper
       texture is used.

    2. If no Upper texture is found the Lower
       texture is used.

    LineDefs with no textures are ignored and the
    offset is reset 0.


y11.b  Make Door from 4 LineDefs

    You can also use the Object menu to make a pre-
    defined Door, if you prefer or Make a Door from
    a Sector (see Sector mode menu below).

    Select 4 LineDefs that will be come the 4 Door
    sides and then activate this function.

    The LineDefs, Ceiling height, textures, etc., are
    modified accordingly.

    The 4 LineDefs are required to be 4 types as
    shown below. The * represents the arrow or the
    direction of the LineDefs.

    The 4 LineDefs butt heads at the *.

                         L1
         *────────────────┴───────────────
         │                                │
         ├─ L4                        L2 ─┤
         │                                │
          ────────────────┬───────────────*
                        L3

          L1 and L3 are counter clockwise.
          They should be at least 1-sided. At
          the end they are made 2-sided.

          L2 and L4 are 1-sided and clockwise.

p    y Working with 4 Existing LineDefs

    If you have 4 existing LineDefs, but one of the
    Door sides is oriented in the wrong direction,
    use Misc Flip LineDef to fix.

    Don't mess with the sides. They should be going
    in opposite directions already, like in a hall.
    If you flip them, you may have to fix what they
    connect to also!

    It doesn't matter if all the SideDefs exist
    already or not.

    1. Go into LineDef mode and select the 4
       LineDefs L1, L2, L3, L4
       (Left mouse click them one at a time.)

    2. Select Misc, Create Door from 4 LineDefs.

    3. You are done!


p    y Working with No Existing LineDefs

    We're going to assume you have a hallway already
    and want to put a door in it.

    This is what you have so far, it doesn't matter
    where they start or end.

    ...───────L1──────────────────────────>...

      some hallway

    ...<──────L2──────────────────────────...

    Snap-to-grid normally helps place the vertex on
    top of a LineDef. However, if the LineDef runs
    at a slant, it may be easier to turn snap-to-grid
    off (/) so you can place it wherever you want it.

    It's also suggested to run at a minimum Zoom of
    1000 to make it easier to align!

    Go into LineDraw mode (press Ctrl+D or quick
    double right click and select LineDraw):

    1. Place your first vertex right on top of L1
       where you want the door by pressing the Left
       mouse button.

       Move over to the left (width of door) and
       Left click again to place the second Vertex.

       This is what is should look like now:

                          v2  v1
       ...───────L1────────<─┼─<──────────────>...

       If you did it correctly, the line turned Red
       and you have ┼ since the split line goes to
       the Right and you drew to the Left.

       This is OK. The same thing happens again in
       the next 2 steps.

    2. Now move down from v2 and down to L2. Press
       the Left mouse button on top of the line to
       create vertex v3.

       Here's where you should be:

                          v2  v1
       ...───────L1────────<─┼─<──────────────>
                           │ a
           some hallway  d─┤
                           │ b
       ..<───────L2────────<──────────────────...
                          v3

    3. Now move to the right from v3 and line up with
       v1 and press the Left mouse button.

       Here's where you should be:

                          v2  v1
       ...───────L1────────<─┼─<──────────────>
                           │ a
           some hallway  d─┤
                           │ b
       ..<───────L2────────>─┼─>──────────────...
                         v3   v4

    4. Now click the Right Mouse Button to finish
       the area. You do not need to draw back to v1,
       that's done by itself. (If you did draw back,
       it will work too!).

       Right Click again to exit LineDraw mode if
       you have nothing else to draw.

       The final result (see how the sides turned
       out OK):

                         v2  v1
      ...───────L1────────>─┬─>──────────────>...
                          │ a │
          some hallway  d─┤   ├─c
                          │ b │
      ...<──────L2────────<─┴─<──────────────....
                         v3  v4

    5. Go into LineDef mode and select the 4 LineDefs
       a,b,c,d:
       (Left mouse click them one at a time.)

    6. Select Misc, Create Door from 4 LineDefs.

    7. You are done!

    The method shown, automatically picks up the
    correct reference sector from a or b, the ones
    we drew on top of, so the bottom of the Door
    Sector is correct.

y12.bMake Stair from 2 LineDefs

    Select 2 LineDefs that will be come the Stair
    sides and then activate this function. The
    LineDefs, Ceiling height, textures, etc., are
    modified accordingly.

    The word bBOTTOM indicates the bottom of the
    stair default. Reply Y to the next prompt to make
    the bottom the TOP!

    Enter a negative value to make the stairs go down.
    This is similar to reversing the stair direction,
    but the steps are created for going Down instead
    of Up.

    Check that the stair did not overlay some
    existing area. Sometimes you need to fix the
    final sector, if the steps end up overlaying an
    existing LineDef.

    The TOP of the stair changes the floor height of
    the old Sector! So anything that that connects to
    the old sector should be raised to match the new
    floor. Make the stairs first to avoid extra work.


b                   ySector Mode

y1.b  Rotate and Scale Sectors

    Move marked Sectors by the degree of rotation and
    a percentage scale.

    This is the same as b< > which is a quicker way
    to Enter Scale/Rotate mode.

    This will NOT move the "Things" in the sector.
    After rearranging the Sector, you may have to go
    into Things mode and select them and do the same
    rotation/adjustment on them.

y3.b  Make lift from Sector

    Select the Sector that is to become the lift and
    then activate this function. The LineDefs,
    textures, etc... are modified accordingly.


y4.b  Make Door from Sector

    You can also use the Object menu to make a pre-
    defined Door, if you prefer or Make a Door from
    4-LineDefs (see LineDef mode above).

    Select the Sector that will be come the Door and
    then activate this function.

    The Sector choosen should be between 2 other
    Sectors. The original layout should resemble the
    following:
                        a
  ...──────────────>────┬───>──────────────...>
        sector     │ sector │     sector
          1     d ─┤    2   ├─ c    3
                   │        │
  <...─────────────<────┴───<──────────────....
                        b
    Please note:

    1. LineDefs a and b are 1-sided.
    2. LineDefs c and d are 2-sided.
    3. All the linedefs go clock-wise.

    If you do not have it exactly as shown, messages
    appear telling you what's wrong. The most common
    one is forgetting to have one only 1 sidedef for
    a and b. The resulting message explains that you
    have too many door sides.


y5.b  Distribute Floor heights

    This takes the difference in floor heights
    between the first and last Sector selected,
    divide it by the number of sectors in between and
    then distribute the result across the floor
    heights of the inbetween Sectors in the order
    selected.

    This is useful for setting floor heights on
    stairways.

    You should start with the sector that has the
    lowest floor desired and end with the sector with
    the highest floor.

    Do NOT accidently move the cursor when you select
    this option or you may select a Sector and get
    out of the sequence chosen!

y6.b  Distribute Ceiling heights

    This takes the difference in ceiling heights
    between the first and last Sector selected,
    divide it by the number of Sectors in between and
    then distribute the result across the ceiling
    heights of the in-between Sectors in the order
    selected.

    This is useful for setting ceiling heights on
    stairways.

    You should start with the sector that has the
    lowest floor desired and end with the sector
    with the highest floor.

    Do NOT accidently move the cursor when you select
    this option or you may select a Sector and get
    out of the sequence chosen!

y7.b  Distribute Sector Lighting

    This takes the difference in lighting between the
    first and last Sector selected, divide it by the
    number of Sectors in between and then distribute
    the result across the lighting of the in-between
    Sectors in the order selected.

    This is useful for setting gradual changes in
    lighting in moving from area to area.

    You should start with the sector that has the
    lowest lighting desired and end with the sector
    with the most lighting.

    Do NOT accidently move the cursor when you select
    this option or you may select a Sector and get
    out of the sequence chosen!

y8.b  Merge Sectors

    Takes all the Sectors selected and makes them ALL
    the same number (the first one). If they are
    different heights, you may have to fix the
    textures in the SideDefs.

    This useful for making areas share the same
    Sector if they already share the same character-
    istics (and anything else you may think of <g>).

 Basic Rectangle, Polygons, and Stairs are made
 much easier using the new interactive drawing
 Tool for these objects.

 After the menu values are supplied, press the
 Left Mouse button to start drawing. Press the
 Left mouse button again to accept the object as
 show. Then repeat or press the Right Mouse button
 to stop (or press Esc, Cancel, L, S, T or V ).

 Rooms and objects created by the different methods
 available in DeeP vary in the default number of
 sides (SideDefs) and textures created. This area
 discusses those made using the Object menu.

 The default Object (wall) made using the Object
 menu has only 1 SideDef when drawn inside an
 existing Room and has textures. The other objects
 (see below) have 2-sides.

 Objects inside a Room drawn using the bMode menu
 selection (or the one you get when you quickly Right
 Mouse click) always are 2-sided with no textures.

 For all of these objects, you enter interactive Tool
 mode. You can alter the dimensions originally chosen
 by pressing +, -, cursor keys, PageUp/Down, Home/End,
 Ins/Del depending on the object.

 Press and hold the Right Mouse button to drag the
 Tool anywhere on the Map.

 Press F1 after entering Tool mode to see the various
 key choices.


 A  rRoom   is outside a Sector.
 An rObject is inside a Sector.

 You can change your mind about whether you are
 making a Room or Object after you start by moving
 the cursor into or out of a sector.

 Teleports and Doors must be inside a sector to work.

 No part of the created object may cross any existing
 lines. After the object is made you can Drag the
 object (hold the right mouse button) to the correct
 location and release the button to place it.

 Failure to move the object results in Sector not
 closed messages.

 If you have a crescent shaped Sector and you want to
 make a room, but keep getting the "you need to be
 outside a sector" message, move away from the
 crescent, make the room and then drag it back.
 This is easy to do.

 MAP01 is a good example of this slight problem.
 We compromised between speed and accuracy.
 It takes a LOT longer to be exact.


b        yROOM - Outside A Sector

ybInsert a Rectangle

 Enter the beginning width and height (length) of the
 rectangle. After the selection is made, you enter
 interactive Rectangle drawing with the default
 values selected.

 You can change them. Press the Left mouse button
 to accept the object and DeeP automatically inserts
 the Vertices, LineDefs+SideDefs, and Sector where
 shown.

 This is adding a rectangular room.

 NOTE: After you exit this Tool, if you press "Ins"
 for the new selected rectangle, a new Sector is
 created outside the rectangle and the walls are
 made transparent.

 This makes it 2-sided. You are responsible for
 making the Sector references match up. That is,
 you have to match the Sector number of SideDef2 to
 the "other" room you have to create around it.


ybInsert a Polygon (N-sided)

 Enter the beginning number of sides and radius of
 the polygon. After the selection is made, you enter
 interactive Polygon drawing with the default
 values selected.

 You can change them. Press the Left mouse button
 to accept the object and DeeP automatically inserts
 the Vertices, LineDefs+SideDefs, and Sector where
 shown.

 You can create anything from a triangle to a 64
 sided polygon.

 This is adding an N-sided room.

 NOTE: If you press "Ins" after inserting the
 polygon, a new Sector is created outside the
 polygon and the walls are made transparent.

 This makes it 2-sided. You are responsible for
 making the Sector references match up. That is,
 you have to match the Sector number of SideDef2
 to the "other" room you have to create around it.

b             yOBJECT -Inside A Sector

 The following additional options are available for
 both Rectangle and Polygon (Pool value).

 Options 1, 2, and 3 make a 2-sided object for you.


xy 0 = Plain Wall

     A wall or column

xy 1 = Sunken Pool

     A recessed floor area

xy 2 = Pedestal/Box

     A podium or a box

xy 3 = Light Box

     A pedestal hanging from the ceiling and a
     pedestal on the floor.

xy 4 = Wall Window

     A wall with a window slit.

xy 5 = Teleport Exit

     A 64x64x8 pad with the LineDef type set to
     Teleport. In LineDef mode, connect all the
     LineDefs to a destination by setting the LineDef
     Sector tag number to a Teleport Entrance Sector.
     The one made with 6 would work!


x             y HEXEN Teleports

     HEXEN only: The Teleport Thing type 14, etc. use
     "Tid" instead of a Sector. Make the Thing "Tid"
     (tag id) the same as the LineDef Tid number.
     This connect the LineDef to the teleport
     location.  You can have 4 different kind of
     teleport Thing destinations:

     1. Normal teleport
     2. Teleport glow
     3. Map Spot
     4. Map Spot with gravity

     In addition, "anything" with a matching Tid is
     a legitimate teleport destination.  This can
     make for some interesting stuff!  For example,
     you can teleport to a monster. Normally, you
     should use the ones listed above, but moving
     enemies make for interesting teleports, eh?


xy 6 = Teleport Entrance

     A 64x64x8 pad with a Teleport Thing inserted.
     In Sector mode, connect using the LineDef tag
     number to a Teleport Exit LineDef. The one made
     with 5 would work!

     HEXEN only: This is different for HEXEN, tele-
     port Thing Tids determine the destination.

 The Depth/Height, sets how deep a pool is and how
 high a pedestal is. The maximum amount you can walk
 over is 24 (HEXEN can jump to 64).  The same value
 is used to set the light box size and pedestal
 combo.

 Ignore the Depth/Height for a Plain Wall (0) or
 Teleports. Teleports always start at 8. You should
 not go over 24 if you want to walk on top of them.
 Of course you can have ones you jump into from a
 higher level. In addition, make sure the teleports
 align on a 64x64 grid, otherwise the texture may
 not be what you wanted.

 We suggest you make each of these objects in a
 sector, see what they look like and then modify the
 sector heights to see what you can do.

 One nice effect is to make a Pool (fairly large,
 512,512 and then insert a Pedestal inside of it.
 You can also insert Pedestal on top of Pedestal
 and you get a nice spire!


ybInsert a Rectangle

 Same as outside a Sector, but the first SideDefs
 will be set to the Sector they are contained in.
 Think of this as inserting a rectangular pillar.

 NOTE: If you made a Plain Wall (0), pressing "Ins"
 after inserting the rectangle creates a new Sector
 inside the rectangle and changes the walls to
 transparent. This makes it 2-sided.

 Use this to define a new area inside a Sector.

 If you don't you'll get sector not closed!


ybInsert a Polygon (N-sided)

 Also the same as outside a Sector, but the first
 SideDefs are set to the Sector they are contained
 in. Think of this as inserting an N-sided pillar.

 NOTE: If you made a Plain Wall (0), pressing "Ins"
 after inserting the polygon creates a new Sector
 inside the polygon and changes the walls to
 transparent.

 This makes it 2-sided. You are responsible for
 making the Sector references match up.

p                y Teleporter Pad
p                y     Notes
p                y

 After you make a Teleporter pad you must connect the
 Teleport to the appropriate LineDef(s) or Sector.

 For HEXEN, you connect the LineDef Tid to the a
 teleport Thing with the same Tid as noted above.

 (You don't have to use the premade pads to teleport,
 any LineDef/Sector combination can teleport, this is
 a quick way to do it all- the Lights also look nice!)

 1. Teleport Exit

       -- DOOM, HERETIC only --

    a. Give "destination" bSector Tag.
    b. Go to the destination Sector and give it
       a bLineDef Tag that is the same Tag
       number you said the Sector Tag would be.
    c. Place a teleport Thing in the sector
       where you will materialize (done automatically
       for you in Teleport Entrance).

       -- HEXEN only --

    a. Give "destination" bTid Number.
    b. Go to the destination Sector and insert one
       of the teleport Things and assign a
       bTid that is the same Tid number you assigned
       to the Linedef.
    c. Place a teleport Thing in the sector
       where you will materialize (done automatically
       for you in Teleport Entrance).

 2. Teleport Entrance

    a. Give "source" bLineDef Tag.
    b. Go to the source LineDef(s) and give it
       a bSector Tag that is the same Tag
       number you said the LineDef Tag would be.

    Adjust the Sector heights and texture to
    suit your design.

 3. Use the Pedestal feature to custom design your
    own pads.

    Make a pedestal, don't raise it more than 24
    above the floor, otherwise you can't step on it!
    (HEXEN can jump to 64).

    Change the floor texture to the Teleport look
    (or anything you like).

    Finish using the same stuff as in 1. above.


r                yStairs are Special

 This discusses stairs created as a separate object.
 Making a stair from 2 LineDefs is different from
 what follows.

 Stairs are always created inside a Sector.
yThe rbottom step connects to this Sector for
yreference. You need to complete the rtop step by
 connecting it the Sector desired.

 Switch to Vertex mode and place the last 2 vertexes
yon the rLineDef desired and reply yes to the split
 LineDef message.

 You can also do this by dragging the stair on top of
 the LineDef you want it to connect to.

 Finish by changing the LineDef just created by the
 split to point to the Sector of the last step
 ( Sector reference ).

ybWhenever you make more than 16 steps, be on
ybthe lookout for HOM errors. You are creating
yba large number of 2-sided lines with varying
ybSector hieghts. It depends on the surroundings.

ybInsert a Door

 Enter the width and height (length) of the Door and
 DeeP automatically inserts the Vertices, LineDefs,
 SideDefs, and Sector at the current pointer location.
 Everything is made for a Door.

 Drag the Door over where you want it. Rotate it as
 required or drag the vertices. The easiest way to
 connect it to a hallway is to select the door ends
 and drag them on top of the hallway LineDef one at
 a time.

 If everything is aligned on the grid then snap to
 grid helps you. If not, turn snap off.

 Fix any missing textures as apppropriate. This
 displays on the bottom panels as "missing".

 A predefined Door is one of the four ways you can
 make a door. The other 3 ways are :
 1) from 4-linedefs
 2) from a sector
 3) completely from scratch

 The predefined door makes a "finished" door that you
 drag into place after you make it. When you make the
 door, you must make sure that it is placed inside
 the enclosed area where you want the door. In other
 words, you can't make it in another area and then
 drag it somewhere else.  The reason this won't work
 is that DeeP precalculates all the Sector references
 and if you move it from one area to another, they
 will all be incorrect (resulting in Sector not
 closed messages).

 Here's what you do to "finish" the prefab door:

 After you make the Door, drag the 2 edges (a and b)
 shown below, over on top of each side A and B so
 they merge.


          │                          │

          A and B are 1-sided LineDefs!
                  -and-
          a and b are 1-sided LineDefs!


 If you have the door going from top to bottom, you
 drag the top and bottom, for example:

                ───────┬────────

 If you are converting from DOOM II to DOOM or from
 DOOM to HERETIC or visa-versa, be sure to replace
 any incompatible LineDefs!  HEXEN conversion always

 Always run the complete check before you test the
 level!


y1. bNumber of Objects

 Gives a count of all the objects in a level. The
 last five are built by the DeePBSP node builder.

 The amount of bytes needed to store the information
 in a PWAD file is rounded to the nearest Kbyte).

 The next screens display Things information to help
 you evaluate the playability of the level for the
 different skills.


y2. bCheck if all Sectors are closed

 Test all Sectors and make sure they are closed.
 If they are not closed it reports the number of the
 unclosed Sector. There are some circumstances when a
 Sector is technically not closed, but if you can
 never reach it, no problem occurs. Some DOOM levels,
 for example, MAP14, have many of these.

 The Sector not closed message can also mean you have
 two (or more) LineDefs/Sectors in the same location.
 Please run the Xref check to automatically find
 these!

 Remember, the final test is playing the level!
 If the area not closed causes trouble, you
 must fix it.

p            y

x   yNOTE : See drawing at the end for how a Sector
x   y       should look.

 a. You have 1-Sided LineDefs and they do not all go
    the same direction. This is easy to see and
    understand.

 b. The Sector reference used in the SideDef does not
    match an opposite LineDef/SideDef that uses the
    same Sector.

    Remember, we are trying to mimic a real 3-D room.
    If you look at a "real" room and place yourself
    next to a wall, what do you see when you look at
    the wall facing you?

    You see the floor and ceiling "connecting" to
    that wall. If the opposite wall did not have the
    same floor and ceiling (it had the floor and
    ceiling of the bathroom and you are in the living
    room) you have a "sector not closed". Simple!

    All the walls in a Room must have the same sector
    number describing the same floor and ceiling!

    You get errors by drawing and deleting areas and
    therefore implicitly changing the SideDefs (which
    contain the Sector numbers) and nothing matches
    anymore.

    As an experiment, go to a good existing level and
    change 1 of the SideDefs to be a different Sector,
    and you will get the infamous "not closed"
    message.

    You fix this by changing the reference Sector for
    the SideDef in LineDef edit mode. So fix the
    error you made above to see that this really
    works.

    Sometimes Sector errors are visible as a "gap" in
    sector display.

    If you see a "red" Sector, you have no sector
    defined at all at that spot (if it's not a tag)!

    A quick recap:

    The enclosed area (room) described by the SideDefs
    must all use the same Sector number for the side
    that points to the room.

    For an object in a room, the "outside" wall of
    the object should be the same Sector number as
    the Sector (or room) that it is contained in.

    Look at the SideDefs and compare the Sector
    reference numbers used. As you follow the Line-
    Defs,look at the bottom display and view the
    Sectors active.

    For an object, (the LineDefs point out), Sector
    numbers must match the Sector of the immediate
    area (room) the object is in.

 c. 2-sided LineDefs that are do not make a complete
    are (you forgot to finish it or perhaps they were
    all supposed to be deleted) can mislead the
    routine into reporting totally different Sectors
    as not closed. This is a tough one to spot, since
    the error is not at all where you are looking.

    Sectors at about 90 degrees to the line-of sight
    are good candidates.

 d. In some rare instances, there is not enough
    accuracy in the math-coprocessor to determine
    the Sector. Examinine the Sector pointed to. If
    you see a "good" Sector on both sides of the
    problem area, then everything is OK. This is
    fairly rare, so be sure to check the rest.
    (No level in DOOM, DOOM II,HEXEN or HERETIC has
    this problem.)


p            y
p            y How a Sector should Look
p            y

 Here is how all Sectors should look. Exceptions to
 this drawing are possible for special effects,but
 this is for experienced users only!

 a. L1 through L4 represent 4 LineDefs.

 b. The ─┴─ represents the SideDef1 side of the
    LineDefs.

                      L1
            ┌──────────┬──────────┐
            │                     │
            │         22          │
         L4 ├─ 22             22 ─┤ L2
            │         22          │
            │                     │
            └──────────┴──────────┘
                      L3

 The rule is simple. All SideDefs that are opposite
 one another, have the same Sector number.

 So all the "22"s indicate that all the SideDef1s of
 all the LineDefs have a Sector number of 22.

 If for example, L1 had a Sector number of 33 (any
 number but 22), then L1 would get a "Sector not
 closed error".

 If a LineDef is 2-sided, then it could be SideDef1
 or SideDef2 that has to have the Sector reference
 numbers match.

 To illustrate, we use the same picture again, but
 now some of the LineDefs are 2-sided and the ─┴─ is
 not always pointing inwards.

                      L1
            ┌───────────┬───────────┐
            │          22           │
            │                       │
        L4 ─┤ 22  <- SideDef2 -> 22 ├─ L2
            │                       │
            │          22           │
            └───────────┴───────────┘
                      L3

  Now we carry this concept one step further with an
  "object" within a "room" and you should have a
  better idea of how to trouble shoot.

    ┌────L5───────────┬─────────────────┐
    │                55    (outer)      │
    │                                   │

    │       │                   │       │
    │       │        22         │       │
    │       └──L3─────┴─────────┘       │
    │                55                 │
    │                                   │
    │                55                 │
    └─────L7──────────┴─────────────────┘

  The inner area is the same one as before,
  consisting of LineDefs labelled L1, L2, L3 and L4.
  All the SideDef1 sides reference Sector 22.

  All the LineDefs in the "inner" area are now
  2-sided. The SideDef2s (the outside) of the
  inner rectangle all have a Sector reference of 55.
  The LineDefs are labelled L5, L6, L7 and L8.

  If you look at the outer rectangle, you'll notice
  that all the SideDef1s have the SAME Sector number,
  55. This matches the Sector number of the inner
  rectangle SideDef2s.  In this example, you can
  match up the SideDef1s with the SideDef2s, but
  as shown earlier, this can vary.

  That's it, it's that simple!  You just have to
  match the sides of LineDefs with the sides of the
  "other" LineDef sidedef and make sure that the
  Sector numbers match up.

y3. bCheck cross references

 Verify the integrity of the level and help locate
 possible problem areas.  This helps locate orphaned
 SideDefs, etc. It will also remove extraneous
 LineDefs if there are two LineDefs between the same
 Vertices. Ditto for duplicate Vertices.

y4. bCheck SideDef Textures

 Report any SideDefs that may need to have a
 Normal/Upper/Lower texture defined.

 If the texture can never be seen, a missing texture
 causes no problems.

 In some cases textures are deliberately omitted to
 build an "invisible block".  If this is not your
 level, check the level out first before changing.

 It also checks to see that normal textures for
 2-sided LineDefs have only 1 patch.

 2-Sided LineDefs with textures containing more than
 1 patch slows the game to a crawl and causes the
 'Medusa Effect' - Looks like snakes and turns you to
 stone.

 Textures with multi-patches that are side-by-side
 are OK.

 This also checks for floors and ceilings that move.
 For example, a floor that moves UP exposes a lower
 wall (so requires a texture there) and a ceiling
 that moves DOWN exposes an upper wall (which
 requires a texture).

 Sectors that move both Up and Down are not checked.
 So if you activate the Up/Down moving Sector and
 you get HOM, add the texture missing!

 It is possible have a design where a Sector moves
 only after another neighboring Sector has moved.
 Remember, if no neighbor floor or ceiling is higher
 (or lower) then a Sector with a LineDef type of
 "move to next higher/lower", the Sector will not
 move since there is nothing higher/lower.

 If there is no neighboring Sector that can move,
 this is a design error. If, however, there is a
 neighboring Sector that moves due to another LineDef
 type action, after this neighboring Sector moves it
 becomes an eligible neighbor target of the original
 Sector.  So if the end result of the moves is no
 difference in heights, no texture is actually
 required (is this all clear as mud?)

 DeeP will report a missing texture that cannot occur
 since the Sector will not move until an adjacent
 Sector moves. Adding the texture normally does not
 matter.

y5. bCheck Texture Names

 Report any texture names which are not found in the
 current DOOM/HERETIC/HEXEN IWAD file.  The names are
 different for DOOM, DOOM II, HERETIC and HEXEN.

y6. bCheck Thing Names/Doors/Sectors

 First check Player/Deathmatch start and see if
 there are enough and if they are valid.

 Report any Thing names which are not found in the
 current game IWAD file.  The names are different
 for DOOM, DOOM II, HERETIC and HEXEN.

 Check for Things outside of Sectors. It's possible
 in rare instances to misreport the sector.

 Check for Enemies/Players on the same skill level
 on top of each other.

 Check for Enemies/Players stuck to a wall. This
 depends somewhat on the Thing. Some things can be
 partially stuck and can "free" themselves. If you
 keep the outside "circle" away from the walls, you
 should always be OK.

 Check for any Sector with an Enemy/Player that is
 lower than the the height required.

 Check for all keyed Doors and see that keys of that
 color exist in the level.

y7. bCheck LineDef Types/Tags

 Report any LineDef types that are not known to DeeP.

 Make sure Sector tags are present when required! A
 missing Sector tag (tag is 0 and it shouldn't be)
 can crash DOOM/HERETIC/HEXEN.

 Report LineDefs with tags that do not require them.
 If you reset to 0, the sectors they referenced will
 complain about a missing tag, but that's ok since
 they should be set to 0 also. Recheck to make sure
 some other LineDef isn't using that tag!

 Tags 99 and 999 (99 DOOM I) were originally used to fix
 stair problems? Tags 666 and 667 denote special
 endings for the level they are in.

 Id could have used this!

 DeeP assumes that you are running the later versions
 of DOOM. There are no more differences between DOOM
 and DOOM II LineDefs.

y8. bCheck Sector Types

 Report any Sector types that are not known to DeeP.

 List any Sectors with tags that do not have a
 matching LineDef with the same Tag number. This is
 OK, if you removed them as noted above in the
 LineDef Tag check. Otherwise, it indicates left-over
 useless tags.

 Use this when converting between DOOM types or
 HERETIC to find the differences.

y9. bCheck (5,6,7,8)Texture,Things,LineDefs,
    Sectors.

 Self explanatory!

yA. bCheck (2,3,4 )SectorsClose, Cross-Ref,
     Missing.

 Self explanatory!  Should always be run to prevent
 Node building errors.

yB. bCheck (2 ... 8)all of the above

 Self explanatory!  Always run this to be sure.

yC. bCheck for textures not required

 Checks for textures not required. This makes it
 easier to edit the level.

 Although these textures do not affect the game, it
 is potentially confusing to see have textures where
 none have to be.  See note below for rising stairs.

yD. bAutomatic fix missing Textures

 Check for differences in heights and determines if
 there should be a texture. Use the current default
 textures. If the wall doesn't show, it can be left
 alone, but it doesn't hurt to put it in.

yE. bAutomatic fix Texture names

 A quick way to convert DOOM to DOOM II. Uses
 the current default textures.

 Will also convert to each of the games from DOOM
 to HERETIC/HEXEN or any combination thereof.

yF. bAutomatic remove Extra Texture names

 Removes all textures not required. This makes it
 easier to edit the level.

 For HEXEN, be careful since the the LineDefs can
 not be not checked for any script movement!

 Sometimes these textures affect the display of
 textures and it is potentially confusing to see
 textures where none are required.

x                y Rising Stairs

 Rising Stairs always require a lower texture. DeeP
 does NOT currently determine all the Sectors that
 belong to the rising stair to exclude them from the
 check.

 For this reason, you should Answer N to exclude the
 lower texture from the check.

 When rising stairs are present, lower extra
 textures are not removed.

 Don't forget that scripts in HEXEN could be causing
 movement that DeeP cannot see!


yG. bSet Check Options

 Enable or disable some of the checks. This is
 normally done if you have built a level with
 the "special" effects mentioned earlier.

 from the side, unpegging the the lower texture
 aligns the textures to the bottom floor.  This
 depends on the texture used of course.

aySecret

 A bSecret (red on the Automap) hides what's behind
 it (does not show up on the Automap. It is not
 related to the secret areas. Those are set by the
 Sector.

 Makes it difficult to identify areas. (So players
 can't figure out your trap!)

ayBlocks Sound

 Monsters can't hear you shoot! Surround the entire
 area with this flag set so they can't hear you.
 Should speed up a game with many monsters if done
 correctly.

ayInvisible

 This line is never put on the Map.

ayAutoMapped

 This line is always shown on the Map.

ayRepeatable  (HEXEN)

 The LineDef action repeats.  You must have this
 turned on to repeat an action for HEXEN.

ayActivated When (HEXEN)

 Unlike DOOM or HERETIC, HEXEN control the activation
 of many actions by setting this value. You can also
 control the "repeatability" as a separate choice.

ybEdit LineDef Type

 A direct menu to LineDef types, bypassing the flags
 Menu.

ybEdit the 1st SideDef

 Set the textures and connects it to a Sector (for
 floor/ceiling information). Use this to fix bad
 sector references that cause "Sector not closed
 messages".

 Normally you may have a requirement to switch the
 sectors assigned from one side to the other, for
 example, when you flip a LineDef.

 You also use this to assign the correct sector
 number of an object inside a room. That is, change
 the Sector number of the SideDef to match the Sector
 of the room. This is one of the methods used to fix
 "Sector not closed".

xyX and Y offsets

 The X and Y offsets permit manual shifting of the
 textures to minimize "seams".

 ITA (Interactive Texture Alignment) shows you the
 texture with the offsets right on the screen!

 The location of the texture (upper, normal or lower)
 and whether it is unpegged determines the texture
 drawing sequence. The texture displayed is for one
 panel with the offsets entered.

 Review the discusson on unpegged upper and lower
 textures to determine whether the texture is drawn
 from top-to-bottom or bottom-to-top.


x                 yInterActive Browser

 Press F1 when in the texture selection box to bring
 up a display of all the textures. You can also left
 mouse click inside the texture display window area
 to start browsing.

 You interactively select the texture by left mouse
 clicking or using the cursor keys to move around.

 The following keys control the browser:

 1. PageUp/PageDown keys move back and forth.
 2. Home = Start with first texture.
 3. End  = Start with last set of textures
 4. Any character, starts the list with the any name
    that is closest to the character entered. For
    example, if you key in a bG, textures whose
    names start with G come first. If no match is
    found, the closest one starts the list.
 5. Escape or Right Mouse click exits the list and no
    changes are made.
 6. Enter selects the current outlined entry.

 If you press a key while the textures are still
 displaying, the display stops. If you did this by
 accident, press the first character of the texture
 to start redrawing.

ayAdd a 1st SideDef

 This appears (instead of Edit) if no SideDef1 exists
 for the LineDef. A SideDef1 must exist!


ybEdit the 2nd SideDef

 Set the textures and connects it to a Sector (for
 floor/ceiling information).

 The X and Y offsets permit manual shifting of the
 textures to minimize "seams". ITA (Interactive
 Texture Alignment) shows you the texture with the
 offsets entered right on the screen!  See Edit 1st
 SideDef discussion.

ayAdd a 2nd SideDef

 This appears (instead of Edit) if no SideDef2 exists
 for the LineDef. A SideDef2 is optional.

ay1st SideDef ref
ay2nd SideDef ref

 You use this to delete a SideDef or change the
 reference (be careful). You always need a SideDef1!

 If you end up with a 1-sided LineDef, edit the
 LineDef and change the type to 1-sided. F10
 Check will catch and fix it automatically.

ayDelete SideDef1
ayDelete SideDef2

 Deletes a SideDef. You always need a SideDef1!

 If you delete all the -same- side SideDef reference
 for a surrounded area, you can select them all and
 then press Ins to recreate them all with a new Sector.

aySector Tag

 A Sector Tag is a number that connects a LineDef to
 a Sector with the same Tag number.

 For example, a door with a switch has a LineDef
 (type = Switch Door) and a Sector with the same Tag
 number. This causes the assigned Sector to move (and
 not some other Sector).

 More than one Sector can have the same Tag number,
 they will all move at the same time!

 Note: Use the Ctrl+T command to automatically assign
 new Tag numbers and connect them with the correct
 LineDef.

ayLineDef Arguments (HEXEN)

 Direct access to all the LineDef arguments.

ayLineDef Args 1-5 (HEXEN)

 Direct access to one argument at a time.

ayTexture Browser

 This is for viewing only. No changes are done.

 Display as many textures on the screen as will fit
 as determined by your video resolution. You can
 also browse by pressing F1 in the texture selection
 menu.

 Pressing any key stops the graphical representation
 of a texture.  The names are always listed. Use this
 to quickly page!

 Press Esc or Right mouse click to stop.

 Press the first character of the texture to start
 the display with textures starting with that
 character.

 If no texture starts with that character the closest
 prior one is shown as the first texture.

 Press + and - to choose from two display sizes.

 No changes to the map are made when browsing.

ybLight Level

 Determines how much light there is. 0 is dark,
 255 is full on.

ybCeil/Flr Height

 Set the both the ceiling height and the floor height
 at the same time. Usually from -512 to 512.

 The maximum distance between the floor and
 ceiling is 1023 for the older DOOM.

 Use the PageUp and PageDown keys to automatically
 increase or decrease the values shown. The amount
 of each change is set in F5 defaults.

ybCeiling Height

 Set only the ceiling height.

 When you are changing many sectors, this lets you
 change all the selected ceiling height but leave
 the floors the same.

 See above for PageUp/PageDown keys.

ybFloor Height

 Set only the floor height.

 When you are changing many sectors, this lets you
 change the all the selected floor height but leave
 the ceilings the same.

 See above for PageUp/PageDown keys.

ybLineDef Tag

 This ties the sector (and how it behaves) to a
 LineDef with the same Tag number. A number here,
 implies a LineDef with the same number.

 DOOM will crash if you forget to tie the Tags
 together!

 In Sector mode, the Tagged LineDef is rRed and in
 LineDef mode the Tagged Sector is rRed.

 Note: Use the Ctrl+T command to automatically assign

 Read the introduction to this help for some basic
 terms, adjust the default textures if you are using
 DOOM (F5), and adjust the display speed by pressing
 ] to slow down and [ to speed up. The map will fly
 all over the place if you don't set the delay to
 around 50 (displayed on the bottom left of the
 screen).

 To make a quick first level just to see if you can,
 follow the steps below. It appears long because each
 step is listed, describing each movement. (Please
 make sure Snap-to-Grid is on, the bs button on the
 top of the screen should be down, press b/ to fix.)

 Clue: This is what you will end up drawing!

 This isn't much of a level, but you can see that it
 WORKS!.

 You can play it using the -file option for DOOM/
 HERETIC/HEXEN. Or if you Registered, you can play it
 directly from DeeP!

 (Select File and press F1 for more info.)

 NOTE: It's possible that a 1 room level will not
 work with future releases of DOOMx or HERETIC. As
 of 1.9 and HERETIC 1.2, this all works. Some node
 builders will not work with 1 Sector levels!

 Here's a brief example of how easy it is to make
 your level more than just one room. Again, each
 step is listed, but it goes really fast!  Have at
 least a Zoom size of 1000 so you can see what you
 are doing.

 1.  Enter Edit mode if not already there, entering E
     after the character command prompt.

 2.  Select the level you made above (this is auto-
     matic, if you didn't switch levels!).

 3.  Press Ctrl+D and draw another rectangle above
     the rectangle you made. Draw the rectangle
     bclockwise. (You could use the rectangle
     tool again, but then you wouldn't see how easy
     drawing really is.)

     Make the bottom line that is closest to the
     original rectangle parallel to the top line of
     the old rectangle. If it goes at a slant you
     may have trouble "hitting" it later on.

     a. Press the Left mouse button to start, then
        move left, press the Left button again, move
        up, etc, until you have 3 sides (see below).

     b. Press the Right mouse button to finish the
        second rectangle. (You are still in LineDraw
        mode, so don't Right click yet!).

 4.  Hopefully this is what you have on the screen:

 5.  Now let's CONNECT them!

     Use the picture show below to guide
     you.

     a. Place the cursor on top LineDef O1 and press
        the left mouse button. The line should turn
        RED and you should see a Blue dot.  If this
        did not happen, Right click right now and
        try again!

     b. Move up and place the cursor on top of
        LineDef N1 and Left click again. As before,
        the line should turn RED. If you miss this
        time, you should start over, not that you
        have to, but we'll have detail overload at
        this point. (To start over, go to the File
        menu and select Edit level, THIS one!)

     c. Move to the right a bit and Left click to
        create v3. Make sure the line really split
        there!

     d. Now move down to LineDef O1 again and place
        v4 on top.

     e. Right click the mouse (makes the last line)
        and that's it!

x     y   For a Really Good Time, add a Door!
x     y

 I'm going to assume that you know what to do getting
 the last level loaded so we resume where we left off.

 The Rectangles are chopped, since what we care about
 now is the connecting corridor we made earlier. The
 corridor is made larger, again for clarity.

 There are 3 ways to make Doors, this is the easiest
 to start with, although later you may prefer to use
 the other methods.

 1. Place your cursor in above the middle of the
    corridor made above as shown by the X below.
    The rotation places the object farther down, so
    by placing it higher we adjust for where we want
    it.

 2. Press F9 select 7, make a Door. Enter an angle
    of 90.

 3. Press the Right Mouse button to drag the door
    into position. All the sides must be contained
    within the corridor. It should be close to
    what you see below.  The exact position is not
    critical, since that is easy to adjust. Press
    F1 help for what you can do do position the
    Door.

    When you have it close enough, press the Left
    mouse button, the press the Right mouse button
    to exit.

 4.  If door lines a and b are not parallel to lines
     A and B we need to move the vertices a bit.

     Go into Vertex mode (press V) and place the
     cursor on top of the offending vertex. Press the
     Right mouse button (hold it down) and move. When
     the line is parallel let go. Adjust any other
     sides now.

 5.  Enter LineDef mode (press L). Place the cursor
     on top of Door LineDef a and press and hold the
     Right mouse button. Now drag the "a" LineDef
     over on top of the "A" LineDef. You see why the
     lines had to be parallel?

     Release the Right mouse button, you should get
     2 messages, one about splitting the LineDef and
     one about merging LineDefs. Reply Y to both.

 6.  Repeat the above using LineDef b and B.

     Adjust the spacing so you can "fit" (the above
     is not meant to be to scale). Go into LineDef
     or Vertex editing mode (press L or V), move the
     cursor on top of the object to move, press and
     hold the Right mouse button down and then move
     the mouse.

 2.  Press Alt+F and save the file as before.

 3.  You can now put a door in the opening as
     described earlier.

 Hopefully, this gets you going. Understanding how
 the pieces fit together is the most difficult part
 to learn. Once it hits you between the eyes, you
 will reap great benefits from the understanding,

ybDoors

 Select LineDef mode Misc (F8) create Door from
 4 LineDefs.

 Select Object (F9) create Door for a prefab door
 that you drag/stretch to fit your space.

ybPools

 Select Object (F9) create Rectangle or Polygon and
 turn the Pool option on.

ybLights

 Select Object (F9) create Rectangle or Polygon and
 turn the Light option on.

ybWindows

 Select Object (F9) create Rectangle or Polygon and
 turn the Window option on.

ybLifts

 Select Sector mode then Misc (F8) , create lift from
 sector.

ybTeleporters

  Select Object (F9) Rectangle object and select
  Teleport Exit/Entrance pads.

  For DOOM and HERETIC:
     Connect the Teleport Exit to the Entrance pad
     using the Tags.

  For HEXEN:
     Connect the Teleport Exit to the Entrance pad
     using the same Tid in both the LineDef and a
     teleport Thing.

  You don't have to use an Entrance pad, any Sector
  will do, this is mainly for looks.

ybStairs/Rising Stairs

  Stairs, see Objects, stairs.

  For Rising Stairs, set the step height to 0. Make
  some LineDef one of the rising stair LineDef types
  and using the Tags, connect the LineDef to the
  first sector of the stair (see Introduction on
  Tags). All the stair steps (Sectors) have a height
  of 0.

  For HEXEN only, make the next Sector (not the first
  Sector you tagged to the LineDef) to type Stairs
  Special 1, then the next one to Stairs Special2,
  the next one to Special 1 and so on, back and
  forth.

ybSecret Areas

  This is just a Sector Type.

b                   y

 The nodeviewer lets you visually inspect how the
 nodes were created. For HEXEN, it is important that
 you check to see that NO lines split an area that
 has a PolyObject inside of it.  A simple example is
 a square rectangle.  The square should be surround
 by blue/red lines, with no line anywhere inside of
 it.

 You can correct node problems by trying to align
 areas in line-of sight to share the same X or Y
 plane and by trial-and-error moving stuff around
 or adding "junk". "Junk" has nothing with the level,
 but it can fool the nodebuilder.  Refer to MAP01 of
 HEXEN to see the "junk" around the sliding doors.

 If you press F1 after the first help screen
 displayed, DeeP displays the following statistics
 about the nodes:


 Pct Balance :  This number is from 1 to 100. It
                is calculated by taking the sum of
                NodesLeft/NodesRight for each leaf.

                So if there were exactly as many
                nodes on the left as on the right
                the number would be 100 Pct.

                The final subsector is not counted.
                WARM does count this and BSPINFO (we
                think) does not count this.

                You could argue either way:)

                This number is usually between 60-70
                percent.  Higher percentages tend
                to more favorable, taken in context
                with the Avg Depth.

  Avg Depth  :  The average number of nodes required
                for the map. The lower the number,
                the less calculations required to
                reach any point on the map.

  Max Depth  :  The greatest "depth" encountered in
                the node tree.


  These numbers give an overall flavor of the nodes,
  but are not meant as absolute "standards" by any
  means. In our opinion, the greatest influence on
  speed (and then only for large levels), is the
  Avg Depth. The primary criteria is always that
  the level works.

  HEXEN polyobjects can give some trouble in nodes
  splitting the area where they reside. You can
  redraw or move the area around, try a different
  depth value, try a different nodes builder. Just be
  prepared to spend some time in this area, it's not
  simple to fix.

 The Tab/Shift+Tab key moves between areas as well as

 A preview of any legitimate PWAD level is automatic-
 ally displayed. If there are multiple levels in the
 PWAD, control shifts to the lower right box. As you
 scroll this list, each level in the PWAD is
 displayed. To return to the file control list, press
 TAB.

 NOTE: There is one combination of "Open Level" reads
 that is somewhat confusing.

 Let's illustrate by example:

 1. You read a PWAD that has information beyond that
    that required to make the level, for example,
    extra textures (could also be sounds, sprites,
    MAPINFO, ...you get the idea). In this example,
    let's assume that it is MAP01.

 2. You mess around some and then read in another
    level that is also MAP01.  This works just fine.

 3. Now you decide you want to read the level from
    step 1 above in again. It doesn't display,
    instead the level from step 2 sticks around.

 What's going on?  Well, the "extra" information from
 step 1 was never replaced by step 2. Now when you
 did step 3, DeeP found the "extra" information first
 and did not read the PWAD in again.

 This is normally a benefit, since this mechanism
 permits you to "borrow" extra information from other
 levels easily.  In the above example, if you used
 the group command at step 2, the textures from step
 1 are automatically grouped with the new level.

 If you want to read the "step 1" level back in, use
 the Reset All File command (under the File menu)
 to clear the information.

b           y HEXEN Action Code Script
b           y


 Object files made by the HEXEN ACC.EXE script
 compiler default to a name ending in ".o" when run
 from DeeP.

 The compiled object file contains what is called
 BEHAVIOR in a PWAD for HEXEN.

 When you save the level with a new behavior, this
 new object ACS file replaces the contents of the
 BEHAVIOR for this entry.  Refer to the ACS documen-
 tation for how to code for the script compiler.

 If an ACS file is not supplied, the default BEHAVIOR
 resource used is the BEHAVIOR found in HEXEN.WAD for
 that level.

 Once you have save a level with a new BEHAVIOR, you
 do not need to that again, unless of course, you
 want to change your scripts.

 You really can't use or swap BEHAVIOR resources
 between levels without examining what the scripts
 do. A typical error is a complaint about an invalid
 Polyobj num xx, when you play a level with a
 BEHAVIOR not made for that level.

 This reads a file made by any text editor, for
 example the DOS EDIT program, that inserts a carriage
 return and linefeed at the end of every line.

 The file replaces the current MAPINFO resource for
 the IWAD. When you save the level with the MAPINFO
 option, the new MAPINFO is saved with the new PWAD.

 Review HEXSPECS.DOC for information on MAPINFO.

 Select Save MAPINFO from the File menu and save it

 A lump is any entry in the IWAD directory (also
 called directory entries or names).

 You can save a lump to a file without any control
 information so another program can process it
 directly.

 The MAPINFO and SNDINFO lumps, for example, can be
 saved and the result is a text file you can edit
 using any text editor.

 You can also save a lump to a file with the control
 information. You can rename the entry to a different
 name by supplying a different name in the second
 prompt. This new file can be read in as a PWAD.  The
 new lump name, if any, will replace any existing
 name or it will be added to the list of names if it
 is a new name.

 This takes an existing file (not a PWAD) and places

 recognized as a PWAD.

 legitimate data for the game to recognize.

 one of those names.

 exceed the file limit of 56. The solution is to
 read in 56 files, group them into a new file, read
 this new file and then add 55 more, etc.

b             y X-Y Alignment Information
b             y



 X alignment shifts the starting point for displaying
 the texture Horizontally.  This is used to make the
 texture display "seamless" or to make a special
 effect.

 Y alignment shifts the starting point for displaying
 the texture Vertically.  This is used to make the
 texture display "seamless" or to make a special
 effect.

 A common example of Y alignment is for switches. Use
 the Interactive Texture Alignment to see how the
 texture will display in the game.


 DeeP provides two ways of aligning textures. Both
 methods interactively display the textures with
 the alignments applied on the screen. This is ITA
 or Interactive Texture Alignment. It represents the
 alignment as the game will draw it.  For now, you
 need to visualize the unpegging of the textures in
 some instances (to be done).

 1). Using the keyboard and entering values for the
     X and Y offsets.  You can use the Page UP and
     Page Down keys to conveniently change 1 unit at
     at time.  Press Enter to accept the changes.

 2). Using the mouse and moving it over the texture.
     Mouse movement results in X-Y offset changes shown
     on the screen.

     The right mouse button cancels and the left
     mouse button accepts the changes.

     The Enter key also accepts the changes and the
     Esc key cancels.

 This step creates a Project file for all the current
 color settings, texture defaults, and files in use.

 If you enter a name different from the one currently
 in use, all your current defaults are stored in the
 new Project name.

 A project contains the following:

 1. The Name of the IWAD file.

    It's recommended to read the default PRJ name,
    such as HERETIC.PRJ matching the type of GAME file
    and then change the name. Doing it this way auto-
    matically sets the correct color and texture
    defaults.

    If you select a HERETIC IWAD for a DOOM Project,
    all the colors and texture defaults will be wrong!

    To fix this, either set them all manually, or
    delete the project and start over.

    Use (#5) on the option screen to set the IWAD
    name.

 2. The default Texture Group Name

    This name contains all the default textures. You
    can create multiple Texture Group Names using the
    Set bTexture Group option on the alt+F5 menu.

    You switch between different defaults by selecting
    bRead Texture Group under the alt+F files
    menu.

    If you switch IWAD files from DOOM to HERETIC or
    HEXEN, be sure to set the default textures.

    Use the F5 menu to set the texture defaults.

 3. The Default Path for reading/saving files
    Use #7 on the screen to set the Path.

 4. All the files you want to work with at the same

b           y Texture Composite Viewer
b           y

 Use this feature to select the actual Lump name when
 you replace textures or want to draw on a texture.

 Briefly, the textures in the games consist of one or
 more "patches" or pieces.  DOOM and DOOM II had many
 composite textures.  This was cut down quite a bit
 in HERETIC and HEXEN. The original purpose was
 probably to save disk space.

 The names you see in the LineDef texture selection
 boxes are made up from many patches.

 The texture composite viewer displays all the actual
 Lump (PWAD directory) names used in each textures.
 Left mouse clicking inside the top texture displayed
 brings up the Texture browser.

 To keep this simple, this discussion calls the
 sum of the composite names, Texture Names and the
 pieces Patch names. (Patch names and Lump names are
 the same thing. We also call these directory names
 in the documentation.)

 For textures with multiple patches, each Patch is
 displayed.  The X/Y represent the X and Y offsets
 for that Patch in the texture. The offset shift
 the starting position of where the Patch starts
 drawing. X shifts the starting spot left (-) or
 right (+). Y shifts the starting spot down (+) or
 up (-).

 The size is the absolute graphic size of the Patch.
 Not all of the patch may display. The Texture itself
 has a dimension and all Patches display only within
 that dimension. The "excess" is clipped.


x              y Replacing a Texture

 Replacing a "texture" with a new texture is easy.

 1. Read in a PWAD with a texture Patch whose name is
    the same as an existing Patch name. DeeP
    implicitly replaces any duplicate Lump name.
    (This applies to ALL names, including sounds,
    sprites, etc).

    After you have read in the "replacement" Patch
    name, DeeP displays the new texture Patch when
    the texture Name is referenced.

 2. You can make a replacement texture, by selecting
    the Patch (Lump) name desired and then use the
    Save Lump in a PWAD command.

    To use this texture Patch in a different texture
    Name, rename the Lump when prompted to match the
    Patch name of the desired texture Name. (I know
    this sounds weird.)

 Ok, here's an example for DOOM II:

 1. Using the Texture Composite Viewer look at
    textures BIGDOOR5 and BROWNPIP.

    BIGDOOR5 consists of the Patches WALL40_1 and
    WALL42_3.

    BROWNPIP consists of the Patches TP2_1,

    We are going to change the texture BROWNPIP by
    replacing the Patch TP2_1 with the Patch
    WALL40_1.

 2. In the File menu, select Save Lump in a PWAD.
    Choose the name WALL40_1.

    Name the file WALL40_1.WAD (any name is ok) and
    the New Lump Name = TP2_1.

 3. In the File menu, select Open PWAD and select
    WALL40_1.WAD (the one we just made).

 4. Now go back to the Texture Composite Viewer and
    select BROWNPIP again.  What do you see?

 This change is temporary.

 To clear this texture, select the File menu and then
 choose Reset File option to clear these files.

 To make this change permanent, use the Group command
 and combine this modified Patch name with your level.
 Now whenever you play your level, your new BROWNPIP
 texture appears.


x         y Another Way to Replace Textures

 Another way to create new replacement textures is
 to use the DeeP texture drawing tool and make your
 own from scratch. You can draw (of course) on any
 graphic (including sprites) and cut and paste parts
 and pieces from any other graphic (registered) to
 make a new texture. Use the SaveAs and name your
 graphic as described earlier to replace any Patch
 name.

 Select F1 for help in the Drawing Tool.


x           y Adding New Textures

 Adding new textures means creating additional
 texture Names. This is quite a bit more involved.
 The texture names are created in a Lump called
 TEXTURE1 (and sometimes TEXTURE2). These are the
 "real" texture names. Then these names point to
 offsets in a Lump called PNAMES (patch names).

 So to add a new texture, you have to add the name
 in TEXTUREx and also create the Patch names used
 to make the texture in PNAMES. DeeP does not yet
 do this, but you can use a program called NWT or
 DEUTEX or WINTEX for this purpose. If there is
 enough interest, we will add this to DeeP.

 ADD (Awesome Direct Drawing) lets you quickly modify
 any graphic!

 ADD is convenient, quick and easy. The drawing tool
 is especially designed to edit DOOM/HERETIC/HEXEN
 game graphics.

 You can do anything you like to any "existing" pixel
 data.

 Both the mouse AND the keyboard keys can be used
 for precise drawing. Some of you may want to slow
 down your mouse speed using the F6 menu. Set your
 speed below 50) to make it easier to draw.

 You can draw on top of any existing graphic that
 resides in another file. This protects you from
 accidently modifying the IWAD file.

 There are four ways you can have graphics in a
 separate file:

 1. Someone already did this for you, that is, they
    have some modified graphics already. Just read
    their PWAD file.

 2. Use DeeP's convenient "EXPORT all Textures" to
    save ALL textures.

 3. Use the "Export all Sprites" command to save
    only the Sprite graphics to a file.

 4. Use the "Export all Flats" command to save
    only the floor and ceiling graphics to a file.

 5. Use the "Save a Lump to a PWAD" to save any graphic
    by itself and then modify only that graphic.

 Sprites and Textures are stored the same way. This
 means that you can copy and paste sprites on a
 wall texture.

 Flats are not stored the same way as textures. You
 should work on one or the other and not have both
 types loaded at the same time, since DeeP will give
 you "not an Image.." messages for all the Flats in
 "Draw on any Graphic" mode.

 FLAT note : In HEXEN we noticed a 2 flats that are
 twice as large as they should be: X_0001 through
 X_0011. This is probably a mistake, but we didn't
 have time to test all combinations. It looks like
 changes work OK and the excess is ignored.


x           y How to Draw on a Graphic

 First you select the graphic you want to edit. DeeP
 automatically presents you with a list of all the
 LUMP names that were found in external PWAD files.

 Select "Draw on any Graphic" for textures or sprites
 and "Draw on any Flat" for floor and ceiling names.

 Note : To find the actual Lump names of textures,
 select the Texture Composite Viewer.

 You should be careful and select only graphic LUMPS.
 DeeP will attempt to determine if the graphic is
 legitimate, but it's possible that it is wrong!

 You can change the zoom while you are drawing a
 texture by pressing the + key to increase the
 magnification and the - key to decrease.

 The browsing mode also lets you zoom the graphics.
 The maximum zoom is 10, however, the image zoom
 size varies in different screen resolutions. The
 image cannot exceed the box dimensions for now.

 You may want to experiment which resolution works
 best for your monitor and eyes.

 If the graphic is not a type supported, DeeP issues
 a message stating that it is not a graphic. Keep
 going till you get to a real graphic.

 If the LUMP is really not a graphic, but DeeP thinks
 it is, you will probably hang the program.  You may
 get an error message, but don't be surprised if you
 "crash".

 Select a graphic to edit by pressing Enter or Left
 click on the name in the top box.

 There are four tool modes selected by pressing the
 buttons on the left side of the screen.

 1. Paste Select mode draws a rectangle select box
    around a graphic area you want to copy. Press the
    left mouse button and move the mouse to size it
    correctly.

    When you release the Left mouse button, the
    graphic is placed in the drawing clipboard.

    Move the mouse to position the clipboard image.
    Left click again to make it permanent.

    To cancel  Press the Right mouse button or press
    any key.

    Use Ctrl+V (or P) to repeat and paste the
    clipboard graphic again. Repeat the earlier steps.

    The image remains in the clipboard until you exit
    graphic drawing mode or clip a new image.

    Note : The shareware version clears the clipboard
    from image to image.


 The next 3 commands are toggled using the second
 button.

 2. Freehand mode (Free) draws continuous lines from
    the time you press the Left mouse button till the
    time you release the Left mouse button, filling
    in all gaps inbetween.

 3. Dot mode (Dots) draw a "dot" at a time and if you
    move the cursor fast, you will get gaps inbetween.
    This is best for selectively changing a pixel
    here and there.

 4. Line mode (Line) draws a "straight" line from one
    left click to the next left click. This is best
    for drawing a line from one point to another.

 Select the mode suited to what type of work you are
 doing.

 Pixels are only draw on areas of the graphic that
 already contain pixel data. Areas of a graphic that
 do not contain any data may not be drawn over. This
 always shows up as "black" holes, but some black
 holes contain data. It's easy to tell the
 difference, on one you can draw and on the other you
 can't<g>.

 You can Undo up to 20,000 pixels at a time. When the
 limit is reached, the first 4000 pixel changes are
 lost.

 Save your work to reset the undo buffer.


x               y Mouse Butons

 Left button  = Place a pixel of the current color at
                that location. Hold the button down

                 method of movement.

 Ctrl+V        = Paste a copy of the image selected
                 using the select tool.

 P             = Resume Paste mode

x         y Some more drawing tidbits

 You can take "sprites" and paste them onto any wall
 or make a wall comprised of all sprites. Imagine a
 wall full of CacoDemons coming at you!

 This is all very easy to do. Remember, DeeP's
 graphic tool works with any graphic that is stored
 in the same format as "textures". Sprites (as well
 as a number of other graphics-see view all graphics)
 are the stored the same as textures.

 1.  First select a big graphic to use as a "framework"
     of your favorite monster(s).
 2.  Save this texture lump in a PWAD (see note).
 3.  Now choose your monster.
 4.  Save this sprite lump in a PWAD (see note).
 5.  Now open both files.
 6.  Go to Drawing Graphics (this of course)
 7.  Select the monster first.
 8.  Select the rectangle select tool and put the
     monster in the Graphic buffer by drawing a
     rectangle around all of the monster you want to
     copy.
 9.  Now exit and select the wall texture.
 10. Press "P" for Paste mode and move the monster
     graphic into position. Left click to paste the
     monster.
 11. Repeat moving and left clicking to make more
     copies on the same texture.
 12. Save (or SaveAs) to save your modified Wall!

 Note : See earlier discussion about other options.

 If you change Zoom sizes from the size of the image
 in the graphic buffer, you can change the scaling
 of the image on the wall. Experiment to see what
 happens!

  Select the correct Project name first, matching the
  type or game you wish to edit:


            Please Enter the file names for:

                1. Select Project Name
                2. Set Main IWAD name
                3. Set Save & Paste path

              On the next screen, press
                     5,6 and 7
              (or click with the mouse)


 This screen is entered when the DEEP.CHK or IWAD
 file is either not present or is an old version.

 Use the cursor keys to edit file name entries. The
 Home key moves the cursor to the front of the entry.

 NOTE: The maximum total path name is 43 characters!


yx1. Set Project Name

    This selects the type of game you want to edit
    (press 5).

    Be sure to use the correct Project for the type
    of game you are editing.

    There are 4 predefined project names:

    DOOM.PRJ    = DOOM (original or Ultimate)
    DOOM2.PRJ   = DOOM2
    HERETIC.PRJ = HERETIC
    HEXEN.PRJ   = HEXEN

yx2. The main IWAD file

    On the next screen press the number 6 (or click
    the box with the 6 in it) and enter the name of
    your DOOM, DOOM II, HERETIC or HEXEN file.

    Enter the complete path including the drive and
    directory. Some examples are:

    DOOM 2  :  C:\DOOM2\DOOM2.WAD
    HERETIC :  C:\HERETIC\HERETIC.WAD
    HEXEN   :  C:\HEXEN\HEXEN.WAD

    These are the default values, so you do not need
    to change them if they match your system. Do not
    put the name of the HERETIC IWAD in DeeP or visa
    versa.

    If you have installed DOOM/HERETIC/HEXEN on a
    different Drive or directory, change them as
    required.

yx3. Set the File Save path
y    Set the Paste path

 NOTE: The maximum path length is 26 characters.

    On the next screen press the number 7 (or click
    the box with the 7 in it).

    This is not a file, but represents the default
    directory to use for reading or saving PWAD
    files and the default for the Open Clipboard
    PWAD.

    If no name is entered, the default directory is
    the current directory.

    Please TEST your path with a file save before you
    continue!

yxThe DEEP.CHK file

    If an old CHK file from a prior version of DEEP
    was found, a new one will be created. At the
    same time all the default .CFG .PRJ, and .TCF
    files are created.

    The DEEP.CHK file can be deleted at any time
    and the defaults are recreated the next time.
