>>First of all I would like to thank you for downloading (and copying to hard drive if this is put on a CD) the second collection of WAD filed I have compiled. Actually, I wouldn't really call this a huge collection, it's only 2 WADs. To save downloading time (for those of you that did download this) I have limited the size of the collection (aprox 3 MB uncompressed). Next time, I am hoping to have the famed Barney WAD (actually it's a patch), the Simpsoms patch, and the Energizer™ Bunny patch. I'm not sure though. That might be wishful thinking. Until then, here are 2 more WADs to add to your collection. BTW, if anyone knows what WAD stands for, I would like to know. And now, on with the show!<<
Hi all. These are a few WAD files for DOOM II for the Mac. I got them off of the Internet at the web site of: http://haven.ios.com/~bookers/Dwad.html. I haven't had time to download the Simpsons patch, but any of you out there can download it (and if you're on eWorld, please e-mail it to me!) and tell me what you think.
To work them, open up DOOM II, and hold down the "s" key. A screen comes up with the single player setup options. Click on "Load WAD File". Choose wich WAD file you want to play. On some WADs, you have to play a few of the normal DOOM II levels before playing the selected WAD file. These are called up-patched WADs. Unfourtunately, I don't have a DOS card nor do I have SoftWindows (Windows on a Mac doesn't seem right in my opinion). Have fun!
Thanks to id Software for developing this great game (allthough it was PC only at the time), Lion Entertainment for porting the game to the Mac, and being all around great people, Douglas Grounds of Lion Entertainment for helping me when I needed it, all you people out there for downloading this file, and to the people who make these WADs.
Please note that I (GaMstR@eWorld.com) had nothing to do with these WAD files. I'm just uploading them. If you have a problem, don't look at me. Read the authors Readme file, and see what that does for ya!
(Each author's Readme file is included in the folder containing the WAD. I URGE you to read that too. It contains information that you should know about the WAD. Some of it is written in PC language, so don't ask me what some of that stuff means)
As far as I know, a DOOM II level editor is in the works. Some "hacker" out there is probally writing thousands of lines of code as you read this. Hopefully that person will be really nice, and upload it somewhere. So if you're out there, Mr. (or Ms.) DOOM level editor maker person thanks for making one, and we'd love to see it!
Info about the WADs:
The WAD titled "Episode 1" is a re-creation of the DOOM 1 (shareware) level. So if you're out there waiting for DOOM 1 shareware, try this out!
The WAD titled "RAVEN" is a very good WAD. Use it on network and single play. I liked it!
As far as I can tell, DOOM 1 (shareware) was going to be released with the DOOM II CD (or disks). At the last minute one of the companies (id or GT Interactive) pulled it off the disks, and decided to sell it seperate with THE ULTIMATE DOOM (that includes the regestered shareware version, 3 episodes, plus a bonus fourth episode recently released for the PC!) I think you can also just buy the shareware DOOM also. Look for it in stores near you.
Disclaimer:
I (GaMstR@eWorld.com) don't hold responsibility for anything that might go wrong with these WADs, or what they might do to your system. Neither do the authors. Use at your own risk. So far I have not encountered any problems. For more information, open each author's Readme file on each WAD. For information on distrubution, read the README file in each folder, and contact the author of the WAD. Fore more info, read each aythor's Readme file. And if all else fails, and you haven't already did this (all togeather now!) Read The Author's README File!
