Discription: Land-mines for DEATHMATCH, well for any DOOM game,
             but best in DEATHMATCH

I basically used Greg Lewis' excellent DOOM.EXE hacker
             ( DEHACKED 1.3 ) to make the rockets motionless and partially 
             invisible (like spectres). I also made them vulnerable to attack 
             so that you can clear them if you find them. In addition, I 
             changed the amount of rockets you pick up with the launcher to 6 
             (after much research, I and my beta-tester have determined that 
             only being able to lay 2 mines per life SUCKS!).

There are three other cool things. 
             
             I'm listing these features seperately because I did not plan
             on them they just happened.
             
             1. If you lay the mine, it won't hurt you in that life. 
             However,if you die, come back, and then run in to it, you 
             will die again.

2. You will get a FRAG credit if someone hits a mine you laid,
             but you must stay alive until then or no credit.

3. If you shoot a mine once with the pistol, it will float off
             slowly in the direction of the shot (carefull, twice and it blows).
             We have not yet discovered the full benefits of this, but it's
             still pretty cool to do).

Background:  Author- me (name and E-mail adrss above) Thanks to DOOM I am 
             a download junkie. My computer spends more time connected to 
             infant2 than it does doing work.  I have used everything
             everyone else has contributed, it's time I gave something
             back to the community.
buildtime:   Maybe an hour
testing:     A LOT!!! (I have officially crossed the "get a life" line)
Tool used:   DEHACKED Greg Lewis's executable hacker/patch maker Vers.1.3
             (very nice job, by the way, Greg)
Credits:     Greg (of course) & ID SOFTWARE (may they make more money
             than God, they deserve it)
Where to find this: infant2.sphs.indiana.edu   (THE doom site)

Instructions: IMPORTANT!!! you must download DHACKED13.ZIP in order
              to use this patch. It is available at
              infant2.sphs.indiana.edu

Unzip both files into your DOOM directory.

Type  KABOOM - your doom.exe will now have mines

!!!! MAKE A BACK-UP OF YOUR DOOM.EXE FILE !!!!
              !!!! I DID NOT INCLUDE A FIX PATCH AND I  !!!!
              !!!! AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU RUIN YOUR  !!!!
              !!!! EXECUTABLE                           !!!!

-note- you can make your own BEFORE-HAND by doing this:

After you unzip, type  DEHACKED -SAVE FIX.DEH

then when you want to fix it 
                     type  DEHACKED -LOAD FIX.DEH

Well I think that's it, please E-mail me with your comments, or if you have
any cool ideas for using dehacked, let me know.

John
