- The weapons in DOOM II are okay. You kinda get tired of them after a while.
-
- I sure did.
-
- So I download this file called "DEHACKED" (dhe22.zip) from ftp.cdrom.com
- Man. That changed everything about DOOM forever.
-
- I also downloaded some flame throwers. I found them lame.
- I couldn't believe that people actually pretended thest things to be
- flamethrowers. It's more like a bottle of ketchup (catsup) getting
- squirted on the enemies. Powerful ketchup splatting the enemies, but I
- was not impressed.
-
- In the infinite manly wisdom that I can do it better myself, I set out to
- do just that.
-
- First of all, We're talkin FLAMEthrower here. How in the world could
- everybody possibly make ketchup spurting flamethrowers without any FLAMES!
-
- So, the first thing I did was add some flames to the flamethrower.
-
- Here's how to use FLAMES.ZIP
-
- Unzip FLAMES.ZIP into your DOOMII directory. If you don't know how to
- unzip something, read the PKZIP documentation.
-
- You will notice 3 files appear in your DOOM2 directory when you unzip
- FLAMES.ZIP. This file (FLAMES.TXT), FLAMES.WAD, and FLAMES.DEH.
-
- If you have dehacked version 2.2 installed in your DOOM2 directory, then
- you may proceed. You must have this program in order to run this
- program. Get it from ftp.cdrom.com or some other fine ftp site or CD-ROM.
-
- Once you have run Dehacked (by typing Dehacked at the DOOM2 prompt) you
- can load the patch file that I have worked oh so hard to create.
-
- Type L to load a patch file
- enter in the name "flames.deh" for the filename when prompted to do so.
-
- Press W to write the patch to your DOOM2.EXE file (Hope you made a backup
- of DOOM2.EXE)
-
- quit to dos, and type
-
- DOOM2 -file flames.wad
-
- Once in DOOM type IDKFA to load all weapons, then choose the plasma gun.
-
- Flame away.
-
-
- This is really great for deathmatch, too.
- Just make sure that both players have the patch file installed.
-
- Flames.wad is just one little sound file in WAD form. the flamethrower
- will still exist, just the sounds might be a little unlike a real
- flamethrower: It'll still sound like the plasmagun a little.
-
- Notice that you will get a different text block when you pick up the
- Flame Thrower.
-
- Also notice that all of the players will now be red. I'm sick and tired
- of always being Green, and having no stealth advantage over the guy who
- is the perfect shade of grey. Man. I could be so stealthy if I were
- grey all the time. It ain't easy bein green.
-
- Notice that the Flamethrower's distance is not infinite. The balls of
- flame will drop with distance. On level three, you can even lay Fiery
- death into the little pit with the BFG, Armor, invisibility, etc. Handy
- for that annoying opponent with no guts to come out and fight like a man.
-
-
- Deathmatch kills have previously been judged on how good the scream is,
- or if the opponent splats. You will score a splat most of the time, and
- you will rarely hear the screams of death from your oppponent, cause his
- death is so quick and painless. The way death outta be.
-
- Well, If you absolutely hate my flame-thrower, send me flame mail to
- pbarber@osf1.gmu.edu
-
- If you love my flame-thrower, send me non-flame mail to pbarber@osf1.gmu.edu

- Shameless plug:
-
- If you want to become a better person, tune into Babylon-5. It's just
