The Complete Doom Accessory Pack - Volume III Featuring: 500 all new levels for Doom 150 all new levels for Doom II Dozens of Graphics and Sound Patches! Mapm Editors and Utilities and more!!! " Here is a complete directory map of the `DOOM Accessory `Pack, Volume III~ CD-ROM: `\FAQS~ The complete DOOMFAQ v5.8 plus several other FAQS on various other subjects. `\EDITORS~ A set of invaluable programs for creating maps and editing existing ones. These editors are for DOOM only. `\EDITORS2~ These editors support either DOOM or DOOM ][. If you want, you can edit the levels on the CD. Just copy them to your hard drive first. You'll also have to remove the read-only bit. Just type: attrib -r [filename]. The best thing to do is copy a bunch of wads to a directory, change to that directory and type: attrib -r *.* `\GRAPHICS~ All the graphics are packaged one of 2 ways, either with install batch files or as pwad files. With batch files, copy the entire contents of the individual directory to your DOOM directory, then run the batch file. To use a pwad, copy it to your DOOM directory and type doom -file [filename].wad (be sure to include the .wad extension). Be sure to back up your doom.wad first! `\HACKS~ These files along with the Dehacked program allow you to change many characteristics of DOOM like weapons, monster hit points, ammo amounts and much more. They only work with DOOM, not DOOM ][. `You should `backup up your doom.exe file before using Dehacked.~ `\LEVELS~ There are 500 levels in this directory. The best way to load them is with the Wadman utility in the \WADMAN directory. This utility will allow you to select a pwad, check its episode and level number then start DOOM on that level. In a few cases, the pwad files have more than 1 level, these are noted by accompanying text files. If you want to use any of these levels with DOOM ][, you can use the mapconv utility. After you convert the level with mapconv, you must load it along with doom1-2.wad. (See below) `\LEVELS2~ `\LEVELS2A~ Here are the 150 levels for DOOM ][. The pwads in \levels2 can be played just like any other pwad file. Use the -file parameter on the DOOM ][ command line or use a front-end program. The pwads in \levels2a are a bit different. To load these you must first load the pwad doom1-2.wad. You can do this on the command line by typing: doom2 -file doom1-2.wad [other.wad] or by using a front-end program to load multiple wad files. The doom1-2.wad file MUST be loaded or the levels won't work. This only applies to wads in the \levels2a directory. Doom1-2.wad is in the \levels2a directory. `\LOADERS~ Here are all the best front-ends for DOOM. These programs only support DOOM, not DOOM ][. `\LOADERS2~ These front-ends support DOOM and DOOM ][. Also check out Wadman in the \WADMAN directory. This loader is the best for just playing the add-on levels. `\MAPS2~ This directory contains .bmp files of all 32 levels in DOOM ][. Dots show object and character placement. Print them out if you like. `\MISCUTIL~ `\MISCUTL2~ Here is a collection of save-game editors, alternate serial and network drivers, wad file utilities and more. `\MOVIES~ `\MOVIES2~ Here is an awesome collection of movies from both DOOM and DOOM ][. They are provided with batch files to make them easy to run. If there is an associated wad file, it's provided under the same name as the batch file and the .lmp file. To view a demo, just copy the files to your DOOM or DOOM ][ directory and run the .bat file. Popcorn is suggested! `\SOUNDS~ `\SOUNDS2~ All the sound patches are now provided in pwad format. You can load them with a batch file if one is included or just use the command line. (doom -file [sound].wad) "
