DOOMED is a DOOM save file editor. It edits save files from DOOM releases 1.2, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6 and DOOM 2. It also edits NetDOOM save games, but files must be edited on each node separately. The current DOOMED version is 1.6b. What files are there? DOOMED .EXE - Save file editor. README .TXT - This text file. DOOMEDT .ARJ - Archive of the above two files. What can be changed with DOOMED? All weapons, ammo, bonuses, keys, GOD, and CLIPPING modes are accessible. The maximum I have allowed for ammo is 999,999. Only the last 3 digits are visible in the game. The save game description and SKILL level can also be edited. What's so good about DOOMED? * Its and easy to use program. * There is a general "MAX OUT" key. In any given area like ammunitions store, just hit "+", and its all Maxed to 1 mill for each. Or similarly by holding down Alt before pressing the appropriate number, a particular item can be Maxed out. * Mouse support for mouse orinted users. Maxing can also be accomplished by clicking on the MAXOUT label, or on the according item numbers. * DOOMED is the first to allow full editing of DOOM ][ save files.

This program can only be used for DOOM save files and nothing else, so you should find it in any FTP or BBS site with DOOM. Specifically: FTP: infant2.sphs.indiana.edu ftp.uwp.edu What was DOOMED written in? Unfortunately I started writing the original code for reading save file information in BASIC, so I had to continue writing it in basic. With v1.5 I had to use Quick BASIC, to allow the application of interrupts for mouse support. What happens if?
