- Introduction:
-
- Ever wish you could have more than 6 saved games for Doom II or Did you wish
- it was easier to keep track of which saved game goes with which wad? Well
- Now there's Doom II Save, a batch file that gives you 600 possible saved
- games.
-
- What you need:
- Find and Replace v1.0 (Included) Find and Replace is Copyrighted (C) 1993
- XCopy (Included with most current versions of DOS)
-
- Packing List:
-
- D2SAVE.DOC - This File
- PACKING.LST - A list of all files that should be included
- INSTALL.EXE - A program to install Doom2Save
- INST.EXE - A file used during installation
- INSTALL.INI - A file used during installation
- PACK1.PRG - Another resource file used during installation
-
-
- How to Install:
-
- 1. UnZip to D2SAV171.ZIP file into a directory
- 2. Type install after you change to the directory.
- 3. You MUST install Doom2Save into the X:/DOOM/GAMES directory where X is
- the drive DOOM in installed on.
- 4. If you want to save the current saved Doom Games select the set you
- want and find the line in the D2SAVE.BAT file that has :xx where
- xx is the saved game set you want, to save you games to. Then add a
- REM in front of the next DEL *.DSG line. Run Doom Save selecting the
- saved game set you just selected. Then remove the REM that you added
- to the DEL *.DSG line.
-
- Note: Doom II Save just deletes the Saved games in the C:\DOOM2 directory
- and as a result, any saved games saved while running not Doom Save may
- be lost. I recommend using only Doom Save to play Saved games with Doom.
-
- How to Use:
- To start Doom change to the C:\DOOM2\GAMES directory and start Doom Save
- by typing D2SAVE followed by the program you use to start Doom, in
- the C:\DOOM2 directory. Then select the Set of saved games you want to
- use. There are 100 sets (00-99) available.
- Note: That you must type all numbers in 2 digits (i.e. 01 instead of 1)
- Note: You cannot use the Backspace (Delete Key) See technical Info for
- More information.
-
- If you would like another menu to come up instead of the one that currently
- comes up just save the menu in the file MENU.MEN in the \DOOM2\GAMES directory.
-
- If you have Doom II installed in a directory such as: C:\GAMES\DOOM2 you must
- use SUBST to use Doom II Save that comes with Dos 6.x. Refer to you DOS manual
- on how to use SUBST or type SUBST /? at any prompt.
-
- Notes:
- This Batch file is Freeware, please distribute freely! But include all
- the files on the Packing list, and distribute as D2SAVxxx.ZIP (or
- D2SAVxxx.LHA, D2SAVxxx.ARJ, or D2SAVxxx.ARC) where xxx is the Version
- number.
-
- I tried to compile D2SAVE.BAT into a COM file but it seemed too large
- for all of the compilers I tried. If you find a compiler that will
- compile D2SAVE.BAT correctly let me know.
-
- Feel free to Modify Doom II Save and Distribute. But, You must distribute
- it as Freeware and provide a list of changes, update the version number,
- and your name. Also please forward a list of changes (bugs fixes) to me.
-
- BBS's may add their Ad's to this file. But, I must ask that each BBS
- only have 1 ad a piece. It annoys me to find BBS's that have more than
- 1 ad.
-
- Technical Info:
- Don't worry if you don't understand this. Its not necessary to.
-
- All this batch file does is copy the Saved Games made by Doom, to the
- C:\DOOM2\GAMES directory. But, it renames the files. The format is on
- the next line:
- DOOMS##*.DSG
- Where ## is the set Number and * is the saved game number.
-
- When you select the saved game set you are actually using 2 choice
- commands, one for the tens digit and one for the ones digit.
