=========================================================================== Title : Disgruntled Former Employee Date Finished : 1/28/95 Author : Larry Mulcahy Email Address : lmulcahy@nyx.cs.du.edu Other Files By Author : AMBIENT.ZIP Misc. Author Info : Remember Waco. 20X the number of deaths at Kent State, including women and children. "We had to destroy the children in order to save them." The FBI and BATF should be disbanded for these atrocities and Janet Reno, Louis Freeh and Bill Clinton should face criminal charges. Description : One awful day, the misguided management at your high-paying UAC desk job decides it would be a good idea to replace all the SGI Unix workstations with Apple Macs. You refuse to cooperate and soon your manager informs you that your services will no longer be required at UAC. Like any red-blooded American, after weeks or months of brooding on this indignity, you determine that your only recourse is to grab your gun and as much ammo as you can carry, stroll into your former workplace and TAKE OUT AS MANY OF THEM AS YOU CAN before they get you. You phone your buddy up to warn him. "Better take the day off Monday in case something terrible happens." "Huh, what do you mean? What could happen?" "Just take the day off, do it!" The day arrives. Getting an elevator to yourself, you pull out your trusty Glock on the way up. Funny, there didn't seem to be the usual number of people coming and going in the lobby. And what about all those black vans parked outside and all the black helicopters buzzing around. Could your buddy have squealed? Nah... The elevator door opens. AGGHH!! The building is crawling with Federal Law Enforcement agents, the same Gestapo-like goons responsible for the death of Vicky Weaver and the Waco massacre! The elevators are locked! Barricades have fallen into place in the stairways! The building is surrounded by machine gun nests! The heavily armed Feds have plastered Clinton posters everywhere! Can you show these guys that an armed and desperate psycho is not so easy to kill as all those unarmed women and children? Can you blast a path to freedom? Installing DISGRUNT: Go to your doom directory and extract the files using the `-d' option of PKUNZIP: pkunzip -d disgrun1.zip The `-d' option makes it preserve the directory structure in the .ZIP file. For maximum white-knuckle enjoyment, you will want to perform the graphics sprite changes. DISGINST.BAT will invoke the perl script that does the actual install or uninstall. You will be asked whether to install or uninstall. Say `I' to install. DISGINST works by using DMGRAPH to replace images stored in DOOM.WAD (make sure you have DOOM.WAD backed up somewhere just to be safe). DISGINST saves the images it replaces in a directory called DISGOLDS; this directory must exist for the uninstall procedure to work. The changes are: barrel => Apple Macintosh former human trooper => FBI Rifleman former human sergeant => Shotgun-Wielding BATF Agent imp => Special Elite Flamethrower-Wielding BATF Agent (Due to the heavy load of highly flammable napalm carried by this type of BATF agent, a mere bullet or shotgun round can cause the same grisly explosion with chunks of flesh flying everywhere usually seen only with a rocket hit). demon => Law Enforcement-style German Shepherd When these disturbing changes become too oppressive to your shattered nerves, run DISGINST again and answer `U' to the `Install or Uninstall?' question to restore your DOOM.WAD to its former state. Play as with any other WAD: doom -file disgrun1.wad Comments: The level is modelled after a single floor of a former employer's building. I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who can help me transform the cyberdemon into a tank. I would think there'd be a view of a tank from all eight orthogonal and diagonal directions floating around somewhere... A similar 8-way view of Janet Reno's head would be way cool, picture it pasted onto the torso of a cyberdemon... perhaps with the FBI logo on its' chest... I considered the possibility of using the 1666hoe.deh patch to get the chain gun trooper, but this would have limited my wad to DOOM 1.666 only, and the the changes 1666hoe makes are so extreme I think some people would be reluctant to use it. You would have to deinstall it after each game or face rocket-launching imps, etc. in the next game. I'm releasing this in it's present form in case there is not enough time to continue working, but I'd like to polish up some of these cosmetic details and possibly do more levels. Anyone know where I could get a floor plan of the Branch Davidian complex?
