THE BLOOD DEMON ARISES AGAIN! Well fellow humans, demons, and such, Here it is! The ULTIMATE BLOOD PATCH ][! This is the only Offical Blood Patch,for DOOM 2 only! It contains extreme gore and blood, it is the one you've been waiting for! And guess what if you have a crappy slow machine, well then I have a present for you too! Included with this zip is another patch file without the bleeding walls, and the slop effect taken out! so no more slow down for you! HOW THIS PATCH CAME TO BE: Well one night while I was playing DOOM, I thought it would be really cool to make blood come from everything. This was quite some time ago, back when DOOM v1.2 was out! Well then my final dream came true, Dehacked had come to life! After my first few months of working on this, I developed great ideas, my friends thought it was a great idea! Now known as my staff, we began working on it. When I had something done, I gave it to them to test, and it usually screwed up. But as time went on I developed a talent that I never thought I had before, I just kept coming up with new ideas! About a month or so before it's final release, which was v1.00, I began calling it THE ULTIMATE BLOOD PATCH. People liked the idea, so I stuck with it, I reconditioned the whole patch around the idea of there being a mystical demon. A Blood Demon if you will. Everything just started to fit into place, the text changes, the color changes, the new traps I set up were all part of the story. This Demon has been in power for hundreds of years, it contols all aspects of DOOM, when the Blood Demon strikes, it changes DOOM around, COMPLETELY! Its as if the Demon has sent out a curse over the episodes of DOOM, changing things dramatically. It makes things bleed endless blood, infact everything bleeds! Many things are cursed, and changed to a dull color of BLOOD, there will be havoc in the levels, new awesome tricks, just intended to kill you! All the enemies are given a big dose of adrenaline, since they too are more fierce and also faster. But the BLOOD DEMON won't let you die that easily. He has also given you improved faster weapons, that should help you on your journey. When he dies, all is over, a story at the last level shall tell you what will happen. So don't be frightened, don't be scared, THE BLOOD DEMON can sense everything, and if you let your guard down, you and the world are done for. His powers are infact amazing. He can resurrect himself again, and again. He changes Doom so you are no longer in your usual DOOM game. You must use all that you know, for what you behold is the future. INSTRUCTIONS: WELL BASICALLY ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS THIS: If you don't have Dehacked installed on your system please extract the file DHE24.zip. Now extract the files dehacked.exe and dehacked.ini. Then use a text editor and edit the dehacked ini to your likings, but remember:the path must be your doom directory and the edit name entry must be DOOM2.EXE or the patch won't work, AND you must make a backup of your doom.exe and then rename it and put that name in the normalname entry or your doom2.exe will stay this way FOREVER!! If you have any questions about dehacked read its txt files, those should help. After that's installed extract all other files of dmn2_12.zip into your doom directory, then all you have to do is run master.bat. Pretty simple huh? Update: Well here is version 1.2, lots of new things implented. Most of the ideas come from doom's patch. A few complications but perfectly fine otherwise. Well there are new graphics, the ones for the Trooper, Sargeant, Imp, and Demon, are from doom's patch...., but they work! Also 2 NEW death sequences have been implemented as well. They are for the Chaingunner and for the Baron of hell. I also re-did the master.bat to work with doom 2. And the shooting objects addition was redone for doom 2. The Explosion Deaths have also been implemented into this version, for the Player, and the Lost Soul, but there were complications...there always are. They work fine except for them to work, you have to blow them up for them to blow up. I know its stupid, and that I shouldn't have done it, but its better than nothing. And I also fixed up the startup screen's text just like doom's! So work has been pretty hectic! My staff has been getting lots of problems with the patch, more than you can imagine! But work is going smoothly, as well as progress is too. I also included Dehacked v3.0, which is one helluva update! So that's it, have fun! Here are the features: -Color changes from all the objects or beings with green parts are now changed to red. Such as the eye in symbol is now red,the green armor was changed to red, the spiritual armor's eyes are now red, an ammo box now has a tint of red to it, barrels filled with toxic now seem to be filled with a thick bloody substance, a plasma charge's green lights are now red, invulnerbility sphere is now red. As of enemies, the troopers now have red hair, the sargent's eyes are red, the Chaingun Commando now has red clothes, Caco's green eye was changed to red, the Baron of Hell and the Hell Knight now throw red fireballs, Mancubus now has red eyes, and many more color changes. -AND when you blow up an enemy, he turns into re-animating slop! -All the weapons were speeded up, especially the chaingun and plasma gun,and the rocket launcher. -The barrels now explode 3 times taking up to 100% of health off if your armor is 0. -Many text changes, (sorry to many to mention) at the startup is all new text and at the end of level 30 a new text ending and all new names for the enemies! And all weapons have all new names! -Many things are made shootable and are strong enough to withstand a rocket, and in some cases turn into piles of guts! -The walls bleed! That's right they actually bleed after being shot and then turn into piles of slop on the floor. The enemies' blood also turn into slop and hit the floor! -This is in response to the feedback I got on my survey of wether or not I should take out the piles of slop that were created when walls were shot. What I did was I completly took out the bleeding walls feature and named it the file LESBLUD.DEH with everything else in it. -NEW GRAPHICS!! NEW death Sequences for the Trooper, Sargeant, Imp, Demon, Baron of Hell, and Chaingunner! -NEW! EXPLOSION DEATHS! For the Player and Lost Soul! -DEHACKED v3.0 is also included!
