DOOMSAFE(TM) Version 1.02 - (C)Copyright 1993,1994 Ramco van de Woestijne
DOOMSAFE version 1.02 is a safe DOOM save file editor.
Supports keyboard and mouse, DOOM v0.99, v1.1 and v1.2 savefiles
and provides easy access to options not available in the normal
game and/or other editors.
WHAT?! Yet Another Doom Savegame Editor?
Nowadays everyone seems to write a savegame editor, it's not that
hard, I know, DOOMSAFE was one of the first, and now with the
arrival of the 1.2 DOOM version, and its NIGHTMARE mode, a new
version is completely justified. Because the built-in DOOM cheat
keys, are no longer sufficient, we need ammo and we need it quick!
=========
CONTROLS:
=========
DOOMSAFE supports 2 modes of control: Interactive and Commandline
INTERACTIVE:
------------
KEYBOARD:
TAB : Go to next window
SHIFT+TAB : Go to previous window
SPACE,ENTER : Toggle checkboxes
ARROW UP : Go to previous item in window
ARROW DOWN : Go to next item in window
ARROW LEFT : Decrease value of current item
ARROW RIGHT : Increase value of current item
ALT+A : AutoMAX (quickly maximizes scores)
ALT+S : Save savefiles.
ALT+X : eXit DOOMSAFE
MOUSE:
Just click on the area of interest to highlight item.
Checkboxes will be toggled with the left mouse button.
Values can be lowered with left button and increased
with right button. Note that Timers have wrap around.
COMMANDLINE:
------------
DOOMSAFE [/H] [/Q] /#[OPTIONS...]
/H : show DOOMSAFE help screen.
/Q : quiet mode, do not show system messages.
/# : where # is savegame 0..6: /0 = savegame 0, /1 = savegame 1
/6 means all available savegames.
/D : default values, eg: just pistol, normal ammo, no keys.
/A : AutoMAX, quickly maximize all important values.
/N : No Clipping Mode, walk through walls.
/G : God Mode, become invincible.
/C : Crawl Mode, previous known as Crawling King Snake Mode.
/F : Freak Mode, for those that like DOOM to be more colourful.
/S : Silver God Mode, invincible but only temporary.
/B : Berserk Mode, with battle rage, your blows are more powerful.
/I : Invisible, makes you harder to see!
/R : Radiation Suit, no more problems with the green ooze.
/V : Vision Intensifier, an alternative for Gamma Correction.
Multiple Arguments are possible:
DOOMSAFE /6D /2G /35A :
- resets all savegames to default values.
- sets God Mode on savegame 2.
- savegames 3 and 5 will be AutoMAXed.
==================================
WHAT ABOUT THE DOOMDATA DIRECTORY?
==================================
In the 1.2 version of DOOM, the C:\DOOMDATA requirement is gone.
This is the order where DOOMSAFE tries to locate the savegames.
1. The current working directory.
2. The directory where the DOOMDATA enviroment variable points to.
3. C:\DOOMDATA
If you want DOOMSAFE to use savegames in another directory, just
set the DOOMDATA environment variable.
eg: SET DOOMDATA=D:\GAMES\DOOM\
NOTE: if you have set the DOOMDATA variable, but the current working
directory contains any savegames, the DOOMDATA variable will be ignored.
========================
WHAT ABOUT THIS AUTOMAX?
========================
AutoMAX, this little feature will quickly maximize scores,
you have all weapons, maximized ammunition. Timers that
are not below 1 minute are also maximized to 90 minutes.
Probably the option most people use...
===================
WHAT CAN BE EDITED?
===================
Just take a look at the screendump below, you can see that almost
everything can be edited...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DOOMSAFE has 7 windows that can be navigated with TAB and SHIFT+TAB.
» The first window is the savegames window in which the savegames can be
selected.
» The second window lets you toggle the various weapons found in the game.
The Plasma Gun and BFG 9000 are not available in the shareware episode.
» The 3rd window will let you change Health, Armour and Ammo values.
Currently the Ammo values have a upper limit of 100000, Armour 1000 and
Health can not be pumped higher than 199, more did more harm than good.
» The 4th window will let you set various timed goodies from 0 to 90 minutes.
- Silver God means Invulnerability, screen turns white/silverish.
- Berserk, you can actually fist through your enemies!
- Invisible, makes you a harder to see, and thus a harder target.
- Radiation Suit, lets you walk across Nukage without harm.
- Image Intensifier, better vision in those dark corners.
» The 5th window sets various Game Modes.
- No Clipping Mode lets you walk through walls.
- God Mode makes you totally invulnerable (unlike Silver God not time based)
- Crawl Mode lets you slither across the room very, very slowly...
- Freak Mode play DOOM with total weird changing colours!
» The 6th window enables you to have those hard-needed keys.
» The 7th window shows DOOMSAFE release version, and has 3 buttons in it.
- AUTO means AutoMAX current selected savegame. ALT+A
- SAVE will update the savegames on disk. ALT+S
- EXIT returns to the operating system. ALT+X
The above windows are listed in the order in which they are navigated.

Also look out for 2 other DOOM add-ons made by me:
DOOPLI10.ZIP - "The Doom Object Oriented Duplicator"
DGRSED10.ZIP - "Graphical Savegame Editor for DOOM registered only"
give those guys at id, the credit they deserve!
Any fanmail, comments, suggestions can be e-mailed to
WOESTIJN@FWI.UVA.NL (yes, that's on the internet)
Did you know that the author of this program, isn't even
able to play DOOM, because he owns a simple 12 Mhz 286?
Fast processors, Money and Choclate Cookies are welcomed!
