FAQs and Newsgroups
You wonder how to defeat that ugly goat face in Doom2 level 30..? Or how to get that last pesky secret on that hellish Doom level, or how to defeat that ugly Hexen Boss monster? Then this section is for you, since it contains pointers to lots of "frequently answered questions" documents, or for short: FAQs. I've kept the number of these FAQs listed here to a bare minimum. Most of these FAQ offer pointers to other more specific ones... just follow the links and you'll eventually find what you're looking for.

This section mainly deals with stuff you'll encounter when playing these games. Editing information can be found in our Editing Tutorials section. Up-to-date information on and programs for internet Dooming can be sought at our multiplayer section instead.

We've also provided links to the official Doom and Heretic newgroups below. Here you can ask questions or just chat with fellow Doomers around the world. To watch some live Doomers you can also visit the Openprojects IRC channel #doom. Do not feed them though.
