DeHackEd v2.2
By Greg Lewis (Tree)
gregl@umich.edu
DeHackEd is capable of heavily restructuring the way Doom works. Peruse
various data tables in the Doom exe file, and modify them at will. Make
fireballs invisible, make missiles do 2000 points of damage, make demons
float! Edit the Ammo tables to help your struggling Marine with more
ammo. Edit the Frame tables, and create new looking items, or extra-fast
shooting weapons. And save your changes in patch files to distribute to
your friends. Create new types of deathmatches, with plasma "mines" and
super-fast wimpy rockets. Wad developers can modify monster types to
distribute with their levels... great new possibilities!
[ sales mode off :-]
One patch file has been included (SUPRWEP6.DEH), a revised patch for
super-rapid-fire weapons (thanks for the original idea Chris!). Load it
and have at 'em! See the file SUPRWEP6.TXT for more details on how it's
made a such. (Note: This patch is not backwards compatible to Doom 1.2.)
If this is the first time you are running version 2.2 of DeHackEd,
PLEASE SEE THE README.TXT FILE for start-up info and instructions. For
general help with DeHackEd, read the file DEHACKED.HLP. For a few cool
tricks, see DHEFUN02.TXT.

I've released this program to the public domain without requiring
a registration fee for a "registered" version. However I have put quite
a chunk of time into this program, and I would appreciate any donations
that you are willing to send. My snail-mail address is:

There has recently been a stir about DeHackEd in several Doom forums,
newsgroups, and the like. If you plan on creating any large masterpieces
that use DeHackEd patches and which you wish to distribute, keep in mind
that iD's legal department considers such patches illegal, and a breach of
their software license and copyright. After having a few conversations
with various people at iD, I've decided that DeHackEd will likely continue
to be released as normal. Just remember that you should think twice
before major distribution of patches, since the law's on iD's side.

Special thanks also go out to the following people, without whose help
DeHackEd would not exist. Thanks a lot for your help, and if I've missed
you on this list, just let me know and I'll fix it immediately.
iD (idsoftware.com)
For writing Doom, so I could blow the last year on it.
Matt Fell, (msfell@aol.com)
Many thanks for the great Doom exe specs, from which DeHackEd
was born!
Elias "Caveman" Papavassilopoulos (ep104@cus.cam.ac.uk)
For some down-n-dirty messing with the Doom exe file, to find
a few of the more technical details.
Bill Neisius (bill@solaria.hac.com)
Gave invaluable help with the sound code, which just plain
wouldn't work without his help (still doesn't, for that matter).
Dan Lottero (dlottero@acs.bu.edu)
For writing the "Fun with DeHackEd" text file, and helping in
finding additional unknowns.
Jason Gorski (al700@freenet.carleton.ca)
For some great help in finding new information when there were
many "unknowns".
Keenan Wilkie (darkstar@iglou.com)
For finding more info I didn't know.
Tomasz Kozera (jakfrost@pipeline.com)
For finding bit #5 for me.

Slight redesign of keys, display, etc.
Less buggy in general than 1.2

Patch files now available
New Ammo editor
Fixed the 'e' thing on the help screen (Thanks to the 2,000,000
people who pointed it out!)

Fixed "bit" bugs *again*
New Frame and Sound table viewers
New Thing (list-type) table viewer
Version 1.1:
New Bit Editor.
Width/height bugs fixed.
Version 1.0:
The first thing!
