DOOM Control Center
by
Nold Software Engineering
DOOM is a trademark of id Software
- What is DOOM Control Center?
DOOM Control Center is a utility program that greatly simplifies
running serial/modem/network games. DCC replaces and enhances all of
the functionality of DOOM's SETUP.EXE with the exception of the hardware
configuration portion.
- Features:
- Uses all of the command line features that are built into DOOM but
are not accessible through SETUP.EXE.
- Start on any level of any episode.
- Select NO MONSTERS for serious DEATHMATCH games.
- Specify external WAD files so that you can play modified levels of DOOM.
- Easy to use Windows-like mouse driven user interface; just point and
click! (keyboard also supported, mouse not required)
- Chat macro editor
- Saved game file editor
- Notes:
- DCC.EXE must placed in your DOOM directory.
- DOOM Control Center was designed for use with DOOM version 1.2; as
such it expects to find DOOM.EXE, IPXSETUP.EXE, SERSETUP.EXE,
DEFAULT.CFG, and your save game files in the same directory from
which DCC was launched (i.e. your DOOM directory).
- If you use third-party replacements for the network and/or serial
drivers make sure they are named IPXSETUP.EXE and SERSETUP.EXE;
otherwise DCC will not be able locate and run these programs.
- The Load Game dialog boxes have a control group named Monster Options;
this item does not affect the level on which the game was saved,
however, it does affect the following levels. For example, if you
select Normal Monsters when you load a saved game that was started
with No Monsters then there won't be any monsters on the saved level,
however, there WILL be monsters when you exit that level and proceed to
the following levels.
- When loading multi-player saved games be sure to select the Game Type
(Cooperative or DEATHMATCH) that corresponds to the type of game that
you were playing when the game was saved. DOOM does not store this
information in the save game file, therefore, if you do not select
DEATHMATCH when loading a game that was saved while playing DEATHMATCH
mode you will find yourself playing in Cooperative mode.
- The WAD Files menu item brings up a dialog box that lists all of the
.WAD files that are in your DOOM directory (with the exception of
DOOM.WAD). Double-click with the mouse or use the cursor keys and
spacebar to select .WAD files from the Available WADs list. As you
select files, they will appear in the Selected WADs list. When there
are one or more files shown in the Selected WADs list (i.e. the Selected
WADs list is not empty) a check mark (√) will appear next to the WAD Files
item on the main menu to alert you that external level files will be
specified when you run DOOM. To clear the Selected WADs list simply
press the Clear button.
- Be careful when loading saved games and specifying external .WAD files
that you do not select a .WAD file that replaces the episode and level
of the saved game. Doing so may cause DOOM to crash.
