THE DOOM PAGE Here are four new Doom WADS for this month. As always, just copy these files into your Doom directory. All of these files can be found off of the \DOOM directory on our CD. 7_10SPLT.WAD - Take a demon bowling at the Dumerica Bowling Arena! Not your usual setting for Doom. MK3.WAD^T12 - The Lost Mines: The CyberDemon and his minions have taken the mines. They've been doing a little redecorating but that shouldn't deter you from ending the madness. FIRESTM2.WAD - Fire Storm: Prepare to enter the Fire Storm. This WAd was designed with deathmatch in mind, but that's not the only way it can be played. MKHALLS.WAD - The Halls of Death: One simple strategy for this WAD -- survive! A few folks have written and asked "once we copy them into our Doom directory, how do you load 'em?". Well, this can be pretty arbitrary depending what each WAD's author created. There's always a TXT file for you to read, and some even include a batch file for loading the WAD. If you're left clueless, the standard procedure is to type: doomx -file wadname.wad where doomx = your Doom executable command, either DOOM or DOOM2 where -file = would appear just as it is where wadname.wad = is the name of the WAD file you wish to load i.e. If the game is Doom 2 and the WAD name is CLIFFS.WAD, you'd type: DOOM2 -FILE CLIFFS.WAD. This doesn't always work, they're just general guidelines. As with all WADS, updates, add-ons or patches make sure your original files are backed up. PC Gamer will not accept any responsibility for problems caused by these files.
