- WolfPatch
- =========
-
-
- What does it do?
-
- Wolfpatch does some simple processing on the sound samples in Wolfenstein
- 3D in order to make them louder and clearer. The results are quite
- effective - you should find things all together more blood-curdling after
- the patch is carried out.
-
- To use WolfPatch you will need 224K (or more) of memory in the "next" slot
- and at least 3MB of free hard disk space. (You can actually get by with
- less, around 1.5MB, but this is not recommended, since WolfPatch keeps a
- backup that will fill most of that, and ADFS likes to have at least 1MB
- free on hard disks at all times.)
-
-
- Does it modify my original Wolfenstein 3D disks?
-
- No - the patch can only update a hard disk version of Wolfenstein 3D, and
- it keeps a copy of the original (unmodified) file. Your original disks are
- not touched. In the unlikely event of a problem, you can always reinstall
- Wolfenstein 3D (though this will mean that you will have lost your
- hi-score tables).
-
- However, note that:
-
- YOU USE WOLFPATCH ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK!
-
- No liability for any loss or damage to your data that occurs through the
- use of WolfPatch (either directly or indirectly) can be accepted. Note
- also that WolfPatch is neither produced by, nor has it any connection with,
- Powerslave Software, Id Software, Inc. or the University of Glasgow (my
- current employers).
-
- That said, I haven't found any problems so far, and furthermore, the
- author of the Acorn conversion of Wolfenstein 3D, Eddie Edwards, has seen
- the patch and pronounced it "cool", so I think it should be OK!
-
-
- How to use WolfPatch
-
- Its easy. Just open the filer window on your hard disk that contains the
- "!Wolf" application so that it has been "seen" by the Filer. Then run
- WolfPatch by double-clicking on it. WolfPatch will run and update Wolf
- accordingly. It takes a couple of minutes. Once the message "All
- finished!" appears, you can use your new *improved* Wolfenstein 3D
- immediately. (And you won't want to exchange it for two of your old ones!)
-
- What WolfPatch has done is to preserve the file "Originals.ASWAP" in the
- new file "Originals.ASWAPorig" (provided this has not already been done),
- and then to modify the samples in the file "Originals.ASWAP". You should
- not delete or otherwise tinker with ASWAPorig, otherwise you will not be
- able undo the changes without reinstalling Wolfenstein 3D from your
- original disks (not that you'd want to of course!).
-
-
- What about WolfUndo?
-
- This program just replaces the modified file with the original one to
- return Wolfenstein 3D to its original state. The instructions are the
- same as for WolfPatch.
