-
- For a short PWAD description read the file README.DOC.
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Obituary is distributed as freeware. You are not allowed to change
- this package. We (TiC) are not liable for any direct or indirect
- damage caused as a result of using this software. Use it at your own
- risk.
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- [ 1] - Thanks to:
-
- id - for their evil brains and great games
- Greg Lewis - for Dehacked 2.2
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- [ 2] - Obituary contains the following replacements for Doom II:
-
- * 16 new levels & a bonus level.
- Two special external Deathmatch-levels. (Section 3 for details)
-
- * 3 new enemies:
- + Harder Imp (shooting green fireballs, moves faster)
- + Bazooka Man, a rocket-shooting guy - be careful, he's also
- called 'Splashing Man'... :-)
- + A very fast semi-invisible hightech guy. Be quick or be dead.
-
- * a lot of new graphics; walls, floors, textures, sprites & weapons
-
- * 3 Demos - recorded with version 1.666 (!) and in NORMAL Obituary.
- If you play the demos with the special weapon patch, the players
- are doing strange things...
- - Demo 1 & 2 are single player recordings
- - Demo 3 is a 2 player network recording
-
- * Optional a special weapon patch containing 4 changes:
- + Kick (for punch)
- + Double-Pistol (for Pistol, right - just like ROTT :-) )
- + THE Sonic P300 Booster, an awesome BFG-replacement
- + and another very 'hot' weapon... :) find out yourself!
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- [ 3] - The Deathmatch-PWADs
-
- * Obituary contains two external Deathmatch-levels. They are called
- OBDEATH1.WAD and OBDEATH2.WAD. They are designed for speed, there
- are no monsters of course.
-
- To run a Obituary Deathmatch-level, don't install Obituary!
- -> Run them with a clean Doom II.
-
- They are containing ALL weapons. Look at this:
-
- Skill 1/2 to have: Pistol, Fist, Chainsaw
- Skill 3 to have: Pistol, Fist, Chainsaw, Shotgun, Super Shotgun,
- Chaingun, Rocket Launcher
- Skill 4/5 to have: Pistol, Fist, Chainsaw, Shotgun, Super Shotgun,
- Chaingun, Rocket Launcher, Plasma Rifle, BFG
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- [ 4] - Installing Obituary
-
- * First of all, install a clean version of Doom II
- * Copy ALL files in this package to your Doom II directory
- You will need at least 5,5 MB free disk space to play Obituary!
- * Start OBTIC.EXE to install and start Obituary
-
- OBITUARY IS NOT WORKING WITH DOOM - USE ONLY DOOM II
-
- Hit F1 or F2 to install Obituary. Anytime your are in this menu,
- you can re-install Obituary. If you want to check out the weapons,
- just hit F2 - if you don't like them, just hit F1 to install the
- normal add-on.
- OBTIC.EXE will change your DOOM2.WAD and DOOM2.EXE file. Don't
- panic, you can uninstall everytime, restoring your original Doom II.
-
- If you want to play normal Doom II again - you have to uninstall
- Obituary first.
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- [ 5] - Running Obituary
-
- Before running Obituary, be sure to INSTALL it. See section 4.
-
- The OBTIC.EXE menu lets you start Obituary single player only. Just
- hit F5 to play.
-
- -> Btw: Don't use cheat-codes, this will decrease game-play and <-
- -> fun a lot. If you can't beat it - try a lower difficulty. <-
- -> Otherwise - just TRY to cheat :-) <-
-
- To play Obituary with modem or network, just start OBTIC.EXE with
- the parameters for the SERSETUP.EXE or IPXSETUP.EXE. OBTIC will pass
- all necessary parameters to these programs. Examples:
-
- For a 3-player network game at ultra-violence:
-
- OBTIC -nodes 3 -skill 4
-
- For a 2 player modem game at ultra-violence:
-
- OBTIC -com2 -skill 4 -answer
-
- (Note that OBTIC.EXE will automatically add the necessary PWADs)
-
- Of course you can call the SERSETUP or IPXSETUP direct (with a menu
- tool or something like that) - be sure to have Obituary installed
- (start OBTIC.EXE, install it and exit) AND do not forget to add two
- PWADs: OBTIC1.WAD and OBTIC2.WAD. DO NOT USE OBTIC3.WAD!
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- [ 6] - Problems with Obituary
-
- (1) - "The OBTIC.EXE is not running."
-
- Very bad. Okay, here is another way to INSTALL/UNINSTALL Obituary.
- (This is the install-procedure processed by OBTIC.EXE)
-
- + Copy all files in your Doom II directory.
- + Del or rename the file DEHACKED.INI if it is available. Be
- sure to have ONLY Doom II installed-no DOOM.EXE or DOOM.WAD!!
- + Run Dehacked: 'DEHACKED -save obtic3.deh'
- (To save the original Doom II EXE)
-
- -> Now do this to install the normal Obituary:
-
- + Run Dehacked: 'DEHACKED -load obtic1.deh'
- (If you have installed Obituary WITH weapons before this, copy
- the original OBTIC2.WAD in your Doom II directory. Now...)
- + Run NWT: 'NWT -merge obtic2.wad'
- + Start Obituary: 'DOOM2 -file obtic1.wad obtic2.wad'
-
- -> Or this to install Obituary with the special weapon patch:
-
- + Run Dehacked: 'DEHACKED -load obtic2.deh'
- + Save the file OBTIC2.WAD in another directory, if you want to
- run normal Obituary later.
- + Run NWT: 'NWT -join obtic2.wad obtic3.wad'
- + Run NWT: 'NWT -merge obtic2.wad'
- + Start Obituary: 'DOOM2 -file obtic1.wad obtic2.wad'
-
- -> To uninstall Obituary without OBTIC.EXE:
-
- + Run Dehacked: 'DEHACKED -load obtic3.deh'
- + Run NWT: 'NWT -restore'
-
- (2) - OBTIC.EXE is hanging during Install.
-
- Try to press ENTER/RETURN and wait a few seconds. If this
- is not running, try to install Obituary yourself. See section 6
- point 1 for details.
-
- (3) - Doom II is not running. It hangs before/during the WAD-init.
-
- Uninstall and copy all Obituary files in your Doom II directory
- again (overwriting the old ones) - then install it again.
-
- (4) - Doom II is not running. It hangs during the Doom refresh
- daemon init.
-
- You forgot the PWADs. Add the files OBTIC1.WAD & OBTIC2.WAD
- when starting Doom II. Don't use OBTIC3.WAD.
-
- If it is still not running, uninstall and install again.
