amigadoom-1.10 0.3ß - Dec 28 1997 (trance)

Thanks to all the alpha and beta testers on #amiga_warez

Special thanks to t-ray for testing and making the home page for
amigadoom! soon to come, watch out!

In case you still don't know, I have ported this piece of code to
the Amiga, and my handle is trance, so if you see me on #amiga_warez
and have some questions to ask or problems to report turn to me!

Once the home page is up and running you can get all the latest releases.
There will be something like "help & hints" for those poor guys out there
who don't know how to set the whole thing up.


Some problems:

I have tested the game with the Shareware WAD and I don't know if runs
with other WAD (e.g. registered). If you encounter problems, please send
bug report to trance@mail.org.

There have been reports that even Doom II WAD's are working with this
version! However some older WAD's seem to be incompatible...

For problems or suggestions you can send mail to trance@mail.org or catch
me at #amiga_warez (sprynet.us.galaxynet.org:6667).

AGA version is still slow (also on 68060/50MHz). I'll try to speed it up
somehow in later releases.


IMPORTANT:

This release has become beta (no more alphas), as this nasty major bug
has been fixed now. You can freely distribute this version, there are
no limitations from me (read the README.TXT from id Software to read the
license!)

You need to set the HOME environment variable to the directory where the
WAD is in. Check out the DOOM script!
(it should look like this: set HOME {directory} )

TIP: if your WAD file is in the same directory where DOOM.EXE is in, you
can write: set HOME ""

You should run this game by executing the script! You need to extend the
stack, so it's easiest to first edit the script and then only start it
with that!

Before you can start the action you will most probably need to install
ixemul.library first! You can get the archive from ftp.ninemoons.com!


Experimental:

I have added the networking code but I have not been able to test it!
  -net <consoleplayer> <host> <host> ...
  -port <number>

where <consoleplayer> is your player number and the list of hosts are the
players who want to join in. <host> is either the IP or the name of the
host.

If you need to change the port number use -port <number>.

Let me know your experiences with this network game!


Requirements:
  ixemul-47.2 (ftp.ninemoons.com /pub/geekgadgets/current/amiga-bin/)
  rtgmaster-27.0 (thanks to Steffen Häuser for his help!)
