- DeHackEd v2.1
- By Greg Lewis (Tree)
- gregory.lewis@umich.edu
- The premiere Doom.exe hack editor!
-
- This file contains the general start-up instructions and info. Please
- read it first for info on how to best use DeHackEd! Note that whenever
- I refer to doom.exe in the following document, it is synonomous with
- doom2.exe (unless specifically stated otherwise).
-
- Caveat #1: The sound code does not work perfectly. You can try it if
- you wish (it won't freeze this time), and you CAN hear the sounds, it just
- doesn't work quite right.
-
- Caveat #2: This MAY not be compatible with ALL Doom ][ versions. Hope-
- fully it will work well enough for the majority of you. The only part
- that is incompatible between versions (1.666 and 1.7 for example) is the
- Text section. The Thing, Frame, and Weapons all transfer fine.
-
-
- Important things to do FIRST:
-
- 1. The first thing to do is make sure that DeHackEd works correctly.
- Edit the DEHACKED.INI file and change all the necessary parameters to
- reflect the setup of your computer. Then, making sure that DeHackEd and
- the .ini file are in the same directory, run DeHackEd. As long as you
- don't get any errors, everything should be fine.
-
- 2. MAKE BACKUP PATCHES. You'll need to do this once for every doom.exe
- that you plan to edit. To do this step correctly you need to be working
- working with the original doom.exe file, and it hasn't been modified. If
- it has, you'll need to reinstall it first. Then start up DeHackEd (once
- for each doom version you have) and then type 's', and the name of the
- backup patch. The naming scheme is as follows (it's very wise to follow
- this naming scheme!):
- Doom I v1.2: NORMAL12.DEH
- Doom I v1.666: NORMAL16.DEH
- Doom ][ v1.666: NORMAL20.DEH
- Doom ][ v1.7(a): NORMAL17.DEH
- OK, so they're not the best names in the world, but hey, if it works...
- Once you do that, you can reload the "original" doom setup at any time
- by typing 'l', typing in the correct name (from above), and then
- hitting 'w' to write the changes.
-
- Now you should be all set up. Have fun, let me know if you have any
- problems and I'll try to help you out.
