===============================the first...================================== GRENADE PATCH FOR DOOM ================================= v1.0 ========================Sept. 1, 94=== Well kids, here it is. A weapons patch for DooM that among other things includes a Hand Grenade, Sonic Rifle, and Justice. Please let me know if you find any bugs, and I'll see if I can fix them. This patch was meant mainly for deathmatch. Altdeath in particular. All of the weapons are geared for deathmatch. For example, the Justice weapon and Shotgun will have limitted ammo because they are very leathal. I think you will find a number of neat things in this DeHackEd patch that you have NEVER seen before! Hope you like it. I even used the DooM palette when creating my graphics, so they look very nice. ============================================================================= Title : Grenade Weapon Patch Author : Douglas Beck Email Address : beckd@holmes.ece.orst.edu Misc. Author Info : Computer geek by day..... ... raging party machine by night Additional Credits to : Dehacked v1.99e&1.99f (Thank You, Tree!) WackerB7 (Great Programs!) iD (They're God's, enough said) ============================================================================= * Play Information * Base : New level from scratch Build Time : About 15 hours, plus playtesting Editor(s) used : Dehacked v1.99e & v1.99f, WackerB7 Known Bugs : none. The following things are changed with the Grenade Weapons Patch installed: Pistol -----> Faster Pistol. Not painfully slow. It's about as fast as I can fire one. Shotgun -----> Faster Shotgun. Not amazingly fast, just a little faster. Also has limitted ammo, so that it's not a huge advantage during deathmatches) Rocket Launcher -----> Hand Grenades. Work Very Nice. First you need to find the Grenade Trigger. (a little box you stick the grenades in to arm them) Then aim and throw. Once thrown, they only last about 3-4 seconds before exploding. The little red light on the grenade will 'turn on' about a half second before the grenade goes off. enjoy :) You can also "pummel" the enemies with them, although it's more humerous then effective. I like watching them jump and scream as it hits them even though it hardly does any damage---I think it just scares them :) Plasma Gun -----> Sonic Rifle. Uses an internal mechanical cell driven engine to send out a powerful sonic wave of low pitch sound. This weapon is powerful, but it has limitted range. Also, give it some room to build up sound. Visible sound waves look cool! BFG9000 -----> Justice. This is the ultimate weapon. The Justice is a high speed rocket driven by pure energy. An enemy just standing CLOSE to the rocket path may be injured or possibly killed due to the energy drive. Very Cool. A good technique for this weapon is to shoot it over the heads of other players or enemies. This will literally %SHOWER% them with harmful energy >:) Be Warned: If you're not careful you can be harmed by your own 'blowback' from the weapon. If your going to shoot this off a ledge----STAND BACK! Also, This weapon uses tons of energy therefore it won't be a huge advantage during deathmatch. Invulnerability Sphere ----> Respawns! Blur Sphere ----> Respawns! Justice Weapon ----> Blinks rapidly when sitting on ground between Invulnerability Sphere, Soul Sphere, and Justice weapon. This makes it harder to pick up the Justice. Have you ever seen this before? Blue Health Potions ----> occasionally blink Soul Sphere's, if your really lucky, you get 100% health extra instead of 1% Green Armor ----> flashes to blue armor, so if your luck or you already have over 99% armor, you will get 200% --- Very Cool. Caco's, Imps Fireballs ----> Changed. They look better now. Puffs ----> Everything bleeds now--even walls. The blood doesn't just disappear. It stays on the floor for a little bit. Troopers ----> Drop shotgun shells. Sprites ----> About 10 new sprites. ============================================================================= * Files Included * GRENADE .TXT ----> This text file GRENADE .DEH ----> DeHackEd v1.99e patch file GREN .WAD ----> Use if you used the DOOM GOD's 16regvr2 GREN2 .WAD ----> Use if you used something else GRENPAT .WAD ----> OPTIONAL: Use to rebuild DOOM.WAD ============================================================================= * Loading and Playing Requirements * To play with these new features you first need to use Dehackedv1.99e to install the patch. Just run dehacked and press 'L' then type 'grenade.deh' make sure the .DEH file is in the correct directory: something like \doom\patches. IMPORTANT: To install this patch you need the REGISTERED DooM v1.6. Depending on how you made you DooM v1.6 registered: If you used the DOOM GOD's 16regvr2 patch, use the GREN.WAD (This wad includes the BAL3A0-BAL3E0 sprites which were changed by DOOM GOD's patch) To run the grenade patch after loading the dehacked patch type: DOOM -FILE GREN.WAD If you registered some other way after loading the dehacked patch type: DOOM -FILE GREN2.WAD ============================================================================= * Sprite Information * All the sprites included my .WAD do not load over current sprites, nor do they modify any of the current sprite information or any other information for that matter. Therefore, if you used the DOOM GOD's registered patch, I have included a file GRENPAT.WAD. This file is ONLY 15k and contains all the new sprites. I included this file so that you could easily rebuild the DOOM.WAD file using DEU. This is NOT required, BUT it takes virtually NO extra space, and they will alway be there if you want ever want to use my dehacked patch, you won't have to -file anything. ============================================================================= * Copyright / Permissions * Authors may NOT use this patch as a base to build additional patches. If you feel like you want to, just email me. You MAY distribute this WAD, provided you include this file, with no modifications. You may distribute this file in any electronic format (BBS, Diskette, CD, etc) as long as you include this file intact. ============================================================================= * For those of you who haven't seen the patch yet.... * I suggest ALTDEATH on LEDGESI.WAD. You can stand up high on the top of the tall elevator, and throw a grenade all the way across to the other side and land it on another ledge. Very Cool. Another neat thing is to go get the Blur Sphere, sneak up behind your buddy, and throw a grenade right next to him while he is hiding. Then watch his guts crumble >:) Then you can do it again (Because the Blur Sphere RESPAWNS!!) [drool] The grenade looks especially neat when you throw it up at an enemy and it lands at his feet and blows up. [drool] The Justice is unstoppable! The Sonic Rifle is Very Cool! Hope you can play it soon! [drool] ============================================================================= * Side Effects * The following are side effects that I would be impressed if somebody could tackle: 1. The ammo clips and shells do not respawn because I had to use those item #'s to make the invulnerability and soul spheres to respawn. Don't worry, the shotgun shell boxes and ammo boxes respawn, it's just the set of 4 shells and ammo clip that don't. 2. There is no sound when the grenades explode. This would require a hack into the main program. 3. The grenades just throw straight out unless your throwing up at a monster. It would be neet if a hack to the program could make the grenades always launch upward a bit. ============================================================================= * Liability * I am not responsibly for anything. :) I am not responsible for my grenade patch, my actions, etc... Just be careful. ALWAYS backup your DOOM.EXE and your DOOM.WAD! "That there is some good sound advice" :) ============================================================================= * Where to get this WAD * This WAD can be FTPed infant2.sphs.indiana.edu ....when it gets back up :( /pub/doom/incoming ftp.uwp.edu /incoming/id/doom ?? *********** POST WHAT YOU THINK OF THIS PATCH TO ALT.GAMES.DOOM ************* *********** OR EMAIL ME AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!!!
