IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING DOOM 1 & 2 ADD-ON LEVELS CD-ROM
This CD-ROM contains two types of add-on accessories or levels for
DOOM 1 & 2 registered versions.
GENERAL EXPLANATION OF WAD FILES AND ADD-ON PROGRAMS
This first type of add-ons are called WAD files. If these files were
installed by themselves in Doom 1 or 2, they would be activated all the
time, and you would not be able to turn them on or off without adding or
deleting these files in the DOOM 1 or 2 directories. This is why a
LAUNCH PROGRAM is used, which launches DOOM 1 & 2 with the WAD file you
select, but does not keep the file in DOOM 1 or 2 when you are finished
playing. Once you have properly installed and configured the LAUNCH
program, you can start with the LAUNCH program to run Doom 1 or 2 with
any WAD file you select. The list of WAD files on this CD-ROM are
contained in the directories \DOOM1WAD and \DOOM2WAD.
The second type of add-ons are complete programs which are installed using
the separate program installation buttons on this CD-ROM menu. There are
seven add-on programs for DOOM 1 and two for DOOM 2. These add-on
programs are installed into the applicable DOOM 1 or DOOM 2 directories.
They are only activated when the applicable .exe or .bat file is typed
from the DOOM 1 or DOOM 2 directory. If you just play the normal DOOM 1
or 2 game, they will not be activated. So you do not need a separate
LAUNCH program for these programs. For example, once you install
SuperWeapons for DOOM 2, you will notice that an executable file
SUPERWEP7.BAT has been added to your DOOM 2 directory. So to launch
DOOM 2 with SUPERWEAPONS, just go into the DOOM2 directory and type
SUPERWEP7. You can install all the add-on programs at the same time, but
you can only play one at a time by typing the applicable .exe or .bat
file from the DOOM 1 or DOOM 2 directory.
TO INSTALL AND CONFIGURE LAUNCH PROGRAM FOR WAD FILES:
1) From the CD-ROM menu, click on Install Launch Program and go thru
install routine. ( To access the CD-ROM menu type D:\HRS (Enter) ).
2) Exit the CD-ROM menu and switch to the C:\UL directory.
3) Type ULRUN, The launch program installation is now complete.
4) To configure launch program, first start program by going to C:\UL
directory and typing command UL. You will now be in the launch program
main menu.
5) To access launch program configuration menu, press ALT-C.
6) Select GENERAL OPTION and switch ZIPPED WADS to OFF. For Doom 2, go
to #8 below.
7) For Doom 1, press PGDN ( Page Down Key ) and change RESPONSE FILE to
OFF if you are using Doom 1.2 Registered Version or ON if you are using
Doom 1.66 Registered Version.
8) ESC from GENERAL OPTION and select PROGRAMS/PATHS. You will have to
type in two paths in the required spaces, one for the DOOM 1 or DOOM 2
path and one for the WAD files path. Foe example, for DOOM 2 your path
is probably C:\DOOM2 and your WAD file path is D:\DOOM2WAD, and for
DOOM 1 your path is probably C:\DOOM and your WAD file path is
D:\DOOM1WAD. Once you have carefully typed in the correct paths, ESC
from Programs / Paths.
9) Hit your keyboard's INSERT key. This will add all the WAD files to the
Launch program.
10) The hard work is finished - the launch program is configured ! From
now on, all you have to do is to type the command UL from the C:\UL
directory to start the launch program, and then select any desired WAD
file (Enter). Then Doom 1 or Doom 2 will automatically start up with
the selected WAD file.
To read additional information on the launch program, at CD-ROM drive
letter type READ (Enter).
To print these instructions and additional launch program information, at
CD-ROM drive letter type PRINT (Enter).
Launch program and Doom 1 & 2 add-on programs are Shareware - consult
