The Complete Doom Accessory Pack - Volume IV Featuring: 500 all new levels for Doom 1800 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 IV~ CD-ROM: `\FAQS~ The complete DOOMFAQ v5.8 plus several other FAQS on various other subjects. `\EDITORS~ 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 as pwad files. To use a pwad, copy it to your DOOM directory and type doom -file [filename].wad (be sure to include the .wad extension). `\LEVELS~ There are 350 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 dm2conv utility. `\LEVELS2A, \LEVELS2B, \LEVELS2C~ Here are the 1800 levels for DOOM ][. They work with DOOM ][ without any conversions or additional wads required. `\LOADERS~ Here are all the best front-ends for DOOM. Most of these programs support both DOOM and DOOM ][. Be sure to read the docs provided with each program before using. Several of the loaders like Wad Manager (mentioned above) let you load the levels right off the CD. All you have to do is edit the wadman.ini file with your favorite text editor (like DOS edit) to point to the appropriate drive letter and directory on the CD. `\MISCUTIL~ Here is a collection of save-game editors, alternate serial and network drivers, wad file utilities and more. Most work with DOOM or DOOM ][. `\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~ 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) `\WADMAN~ Here is Wad Manager, our favorite DOOM and DOOM ][ loader. Even thought it doesn't support Deathmatch 2.0 and warping in DOOM ][, it's still the best loader around for single-player games. Read the brief docs before using this awesome program. "
