Abyssalstudios1 Posted July 25, 2009 It has come to my attention that I have 327 items in my /Doom 2 folder (including 14 subfolders). Which begs the question: what's in the original Doom 2 folder, the one that you download from id.com? All I can think of is Doom 2.WAD, Doom95.exe, and probably a .bak file. Does anyone have a "pure" doom 2 folder? 0 Share this post Link to post
NoWits Posted July 25, 2009 Let's have a look... DEFAULT.CFG DM.CFG DM.DOC DM.EXE DMFAQ66A.TXT DMFAQ66B.TXT DMFAQ66C.TXT DMFAQ66D.TXT DOOM2.EXE DOOM2.WAD DWANGO.DOC DWANGO.EXE DWANGO.SRV DWANGO.STR HELPME.TXT IPXSETUP.EXE MODEM.CFG MODEM.NUM MODEM.STR ORDER.FRM README.TXT SERSETUP.EXE SETUP.EXE It really depends on whether you mean Doom2 or Doom95. 0 Share this post Link to post
Super Jamie Posted July 25, 2009 It also depends if you're installing from early v1.666 disks or CD, or you've patched up to v1.9, or have a modern Doom95 install. Nixot's got the DOS essentials there, which is how it should be :) 0 Share this post Link to post
40oz Posted July 26, 2009 Hmm.. everytime I've installed doom I just scrapped everything else and fished out the IWAD. 0 Share this post Link to post

Reaper978 Posted July 26, 2009 JohnnyRancid said:Hmm.. everytime I've installed doom I just scrapped everything else and fished out the IWAD. But then, how does one install older mods that aren't just wads? It is a little irritating that the older ones have some convoluted install procedure that "requires" the doom 2 folder. 0 Share this post Link to post
Super Jamie Posted July 26, 2009 Most of them are just a DEH file. You can add this to the WAD as a DEHACKED lump, or most sourceports (including later Vanilla exes) let you launch them with -file name.wad -deh name.deh 0 Share this post Link to post
Reaper978 Posted July 26, 2009 I pretty much assumed as much... but I wasn't sure. I don't know anything about how to build a modification for doom, so I don't know what these old install programs are supposed to do. 0 Share this post Link to post
doom2day Posted July 26, 2009 MikeRS said:vanilla never supported Dehacked. Yes, originally you had to use dehacked to make a new, hacked version of doom2.exe 0 Share this post Link to post
Abyssalstudios1 Posted July 27, 2009 I downloaded Doom about a year and a half ago, so I'm talking about Doom 95. 0 Share this post Link to post
PhilibusMo Posted July 27, 2009 well if you are talking about doom95 running the doom 2 iwad from the doom collectors edition disk then: doom95.exe doomcfg.dll doomipx.dll doomlnch.dll doommdm.dll doomser.dll dplay.dll Msvbvm50.dll doom2.wad Then in a seperate folder named Extras/Help/Manual is: DOOM 2 Manual.pdf 0 Share this post Link to post
myk Posted July 29, 2009 MikeRS said: vanilla never supported Dehacked. It does, and in the strictest sense. It just doesn't read DEH file patches during startup and they must be applied beforehand to a copy. Support doesn't mean "has a command line parameter that reads the output of DeHackEd or reads a DEHACKED lump in PWADs." Incidentally, it's the only one which fully supports it, aside from Chocolate, which has imitated it quite on purpose. More advanced ports tend to lack a few text string replacements. For example, in Doom you can tell the game to display one graphic at the end of episode 1 and another after one of the demos in the demo sequence, when normally they are the same. Boom and others won't read that DeHackEd change, and all you can do for them is change the graphic, which will show up the same way in both places. 0 Share this post Link to post
