- Introduction:
-
- Ever wish you could have more than 6 saved games for Doom or Did you wish it
- was easier to keep track of which saved game goes with which wad? Well Now
- there's Doom Save, a batch file that gives you 600 possible saved games, and
- provides support for Doom Control Center.
-
- 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:
-
- DOOMSAVE.DOC - This File
- INSTALL.EXE - The Installer
- PACKING.LST - A list of all files that should be included
- INSTALL.INI - A file used during the install Process
- INST.EXE - A file used during the install Process
- PACK1.PRG - Another Resource file used during the install Process
-
- How to Install:
-
- 1. UnZip to DMSAV271.ZIP file into a directory
- 2. Type INSTALL after you change to the directory.
- 3. You MUST install DoomSave 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 DOOMSAVE.BAT and/or 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 Save just deletes the Saved games in the C:\DOOM 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:\DOOM\GAMES directory and start Doom Save
- by typing DOOMSAVE or DMSAVDCC to use the DCC compatiable version
- followed by the program you use to start Doom, in the C:\DOOM 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 \DOOM\GAMES directory.
-
- Notes:
- This Batch file is Freeware, please distribute freely! But include all
- the files on the Packing list, and distribute as DMSAVxxx.ZIP (or
- DMSAVxxx.LHA, DMSAVxxx.ARJ, or DMSAVxxx.ARC) where xxx is the Version
- number.
-
- If you have Doom installed in a directory such as: C:\GAMES\DOOM you must
- either use SUBST that comes with Dos 6.x. Refer to you DOS manual on how
- to use this or type SUBST at any prompt.
-
- I tried to compile DOOMSAVE.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 DOOMSAVE.BAT correctly let me know.
-
- Feel free to Modify Doom 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:\DOOM\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.
-
- The Doom Control Center SGAME.DCC file is saved as
- DOOMS##C.DCC
- Where ## is the set Number.
-
- (Note you must use the DMSAVDCC.BAT file to have the SGAME.DCC file Saved.)
- 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, this is why
- the Delete key doesn't work correctly.
