- ░▒▓█ Doom Cheat █▓▒░
-
- Thank you for reading this (not everyone does:).
-
- I hope you enjoy cheating with Doom Cheat since it was fun to make.
- Hopefully you'll be satified with what you can edit with this program
- and hopefully I'll discover more stuff in the saved game files to
- edit in the future.
- For now though this shareware version lets you edit everything in a
- saved game file except the network saved games. Why? Because I have
- invested some time into this program which I feel should be rewarded
- in the form of cold hard cash. As a bonus to you, you get the added
- ability to edit Network games and get free updates mailed to you direct.
- And, of course, I'll send all of my utility programs and any other cool
- releases I may have.
-
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- Getting started:
-
- Move or copy (install) the DOOMCH.EAT and DC.EXE files to your DOOM
- saved game directory.
-
- For example DOOM version 1.1 has a directory called \DOOMDATA in your main
- directory ( C:\DOOMDATA ).
-
- DOOM 1.2 and 1.6+ saves games in the directory where the DOOM.EXE file
- is located and no longer uses the old \DOOMDATA directory.
-
- If you have not saved any games yet then play DOOM and save a game by
- pressing [F2] during the game or press [ESC] and choose "SAVE GAME" on the
- main manu after starting a new game.
-
- Doom Cheat will NOT let you run it until you save a game. Saved game files
- are named as:
- "DOOMSAV*.DSG"
-
- whereever you find these files that is where you must move/copy
- DOOMCH.EAT and DC.EXE to.
-
- To run Doom Cheat type "DC" then press [ENTER] at the dos prompt when you
- are in the DOOM directory.
-
-
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- Reasonably important:
-
- Make sure to read the About section inside of Doom Cheat...
- just press [F1] while viewing a saved game's data.
-
- If this came in the "patch" the only thing wrong was the Super max out...
- after your weapon there is an unknown but important field that was not set
- correctly for DOOM v1.6 saved games. It caused DOOM to die and leave the
- clock ticking away at about 30 ticks per second (normal is about 18.2).
- Well that was easy enough to fix.
-
- The above problem has led me to include this note to anyone who uses my
- program. id Software can not be held responsible for any errors that this
- program may cause. If you contact them with a question on this program you
- are not a very bright person since id Software did NOT make this program.
- You can get help from me on Software Creations BBS but be sure to address
- your E-Mail to "DERIC BENESCH" in the main conferance (default).
- If you want to play it safe do NOT change anything in the "Unknown ##"
- fields and if you do - press [CTRL+R] to restore the game rather then messing
- it up entirely. You should also stay within 0-999 on almost all numeric
- fields and on fields that have "settings" like "on" or "god mode" you
- should use the setting and never see a numeric value in its place. Doom
- Cheat was made as a "hack" for the saved game files and although it may be
- "user-friendly" it is still powerfull enough to mess up DOOM.
-
- Use Doom Cheat with caution and AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
-
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- New parameter passing and program support.
-
- You can now enter parameter(s) into Doom Cheat to pass to either
-
- 1) DOOM.EXE
- 2) SETUP.EXE
- 3) IPXSETUP.EXE
- 4) SERSETUP.EXE
-
- You can enter MAIN parameters almost anytime in Doom Cheat by pressing:
- [CTRL+Z]
-
- Here's a run down of the parameter macros:
-
- @IPX ≡ Load IPXSETUP.EXE in the current directory.
- @SER ≡ Load SERSETUP.EXE in the current directory.
- @SET ≡ Load SETUP.EXE in the current directory.
-
- NOTE: Without one of the above macros DOOM.EXE will be loaded.
- Multiple repititions of a macro are ignored/deleted from final
- parameter string.
-
- @PROMPT ≡ Prompts you before loading ANY program including DOOM.EXE...
- This is a handy feature allowing you to edit the final
- parameter string just before execution. You can add the
- names of PWADs to the parameter string while having pre-set
- parameters like -RESPAWN.
-
- The order in which you enter macros does NOT matter but some macros
- have presidence over others (like @PROMPT). Besides entering something
- like @IPX@SER@PROMPT is kind of stupid. Just pick one. Here's an example
- of a typical parameter string I use:
-
- @PROMPT@IPX-DEATHMATCH -ALTDEATH -NOMONSTERS -TURBO 200
-
- and sometimes:
-
- @PROMPT@IPX-DEATHMATCH -ALTDEATH -NOMONSTERS -TURBO 200 -FILE pwadname.wad
-
- The macros and parameters are not case sensitive so use lowercase if your
- lazy (like me).
-
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- Network saved games (registered Doom Cheat only and...
- DOOM v1.2 or v1.6 which should be registered).
-
- DOOM v1.2, 1.6 saves network games on every players computer. If you
- change the net saved game on one computer you should make the same changes on
- the other computers or copy the saved game file to the other computers.
-
- To change players 2-4 press [N] while viewing then first player's data and
- press [N] again to move to the next player's data and so on. To get back to
- the first player's data press [ESC] or keep pressing [N] until you pass
- saved player number 4.
-
- You can now press F2-F4 to jump to player's 2-4 while viewing the 1st
- players data.
-
- If you want to load DOOM directly you must press [ESC] first if you're
- editing players 2-4, then press [CRTL+D]. Otherwise you'll see a message
- pop up to let you know that you're not to bright.
-
- I currently do not have Doom Cheat set up to load SETUP or IPXSETUP or
- SERSETUP but if I need it for myself (or someone pays me to) I'll build
- the option in with the ability to use a parameter file of some kind or
- I'll just have a box pop up and ask for parameters. I may add the ability
- to pass parameters to DOOM since I like to play PWADs from time to time.
-
- I have NOT tested Doom Cheat with a DOOM v1.2 saved game with over 2
- players. If someone could send me a copy of a game saved with DOOM v1.2
- and at least 3 players (shoot for 4) I can confirm my educated guess or
- fix the Doom Cheat settings. Please send info of each players HEALTH and
- ARMOR, that's all I should need. If you didn't register Doom Cheat I'll
- give you a registered version so you can use it yourself (No Fake
- Saves Please). As far as copyrights are concerned with networks I'm not
- going to rip your head off if you use the same copy of the registered
- Doom Cheat over a LAN network but try not to let the registered version
- leak out to the public or I SHALL be Pissed!
-
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- New Mouse support!
-
- Now you can navigate Doom Cheat with your mouse. Here are the simple
- rules for the mouse buttons...
-
-
- Button │ Description
- ────────────────┼───────────────────────────────────────
- │
- Left Button #1 │ Acts as LEFT and Y keys
- Right Button #2 │ Acts as RIGHT and N keys
- Middle Button │ Acts as ENTER and ESC keys
- │
-
- If you press both buttons 1 and 2 at the same time when you are editing
- a saved game the "Enter a value" box will pop up... the middle mouse
- button does this also.
-
- When you see a "Save game?" box pop up, if you press a button while the
- mouse cursor is away from the buttons the mouse buttons will act like
- the Y, N, ESC keys described above.
-
- If you push a button directly it doesn't matter which button is pressed
- since it will do the "hot" key on the button.
-
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- Other notes:
-
- The SPACE key no longer saves the game when you are prompted with the
- "Save game?" message. Now you MUST press Y or ENTER (or mouse button #1)
- to save the game.
-
- If you aren't using the mouse the new TAB key is a nice feature for
- quickly editing your game(s).
-
-
- You can load DOOM right from Doom Cheat by pressing [CTRL+D] at almost
- any time when your inside of Doom Cheat. The DC.EXE file uses less then
- 6K of memory so you should have no problems with memory.
-
- If you plan on using Doom Cheat, load Doom Cheat first then press [CTRL+D]
- to load DOOM. When you quit from DOOM, Doom Cheat will load back up
- automatically for you so you can constantly change your saved game then
- load DOOM without having to type at the DOS prompt. When you want to quit
- from Doom Cheat press [CTRL+Q].
-
- There are some "fields" that I have not figured out, mainly since I'd
- rather play this incredible game rather then figuring it out.
-
- If you figure out what the Unknown fields are send me a letter describing
- which field(s) are what and how to test your findings out (It has to
- work of course).
-
- If they work I will send you a disk of stuff that I didn't send you yet
- (if I sent you anything yet at all).
-
-
- If Doom Cheat doesn't know the DOOM version number of the saved game file
- it will default to version 1.6.
-
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- Try this out...
-
- Set your "Health" to "0" and make sure you have "God Mode On"...
- you can walk around without being attacked, a VERY strange thing in DOOM.
-
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- Everything else is in Doom Cheat but here's a quick list
- of the DOOM built-in cheat commands.
-
- During a game press these letters in order at any speed:
-
- IDDQD ≡ Degreelessness mode, God mode.
- IDKFA ≡ Full ammo.
- IDSPISPOPD ≡ No clipping, walk through walls.
- IDBEHOLD ≡ Menu of power-ups, press letter of power-up to toggle.
- IDCLEV ≡ Warp, press episode number and then level number.
- There is no message for this one but when you press
- the numbers your weapon doesn't change.
- IDCHOPPERS ≡ Gives you the chainsaw, press [1] to use it.
- IDMYPOS ≡ Gives current position.
-
- And while looking at the map (press [TAB]):
-
- IDDT ≡ Toggles between normal, full, and full with objects.
-
- Make sure MESSAGES=ON to see if you entered the codes right.
-
- I've noticed that many of these codes don't work in the "Nightmare"
- difficulty setting in DOOM v1.2+ but you can still use Doom Cheat to
- give yourself God mode and Walkthrough walls as well as the standard
- stuff. The above codes also don't always work in network games but
- you can give yourself and everyone else playing a network game God
- mode and tons of ammo with the registered version of Doom Cheat.
-
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- If your having trouble in Doom Cheat press [F1] to get info/help.
-
- Doom Cheat recognizes DOOM version 1.1 ,DOOM version 1.2,
- DOOM version 1.6 and
- adjusts itself for the save game files.

- Please register DOOM with id Software so I can get to play another generation
- of DOOM and so can you. It should be real hard to top this game off but if it
- had added animations/frames for the sprites, reflective stuff like water,
- added abilities like flying, and more blood that stuck to the floor, walls,
- and players, more network players, more weapons, more stuff to find,
- more enemies, more of anything that is possible...
- DOOM would become the best game on the PC and any other platform it is
- ported to. With the new 32-64bit systems coming out this is more possible
- and easier to do, especially with CD-ROM systems like Saturn, Sony's PS-X,
- the Jaguar (I've got it already), big Ns Project whatever, and yes even 3DO.
- But none of these systems gives you the power or versatility of the PC and
- hopefully id Software will never abandon this platform in the years to come.
-
-
- To register DOOM with id Software see the ORDER.FRM file that came with DOOM.
