################################### DETH v4.01 and later Installation ################################### Installation: ------------- 1) Create a new directory to install DETH in 2) Copy and unzip DETH.ZIP there (no -d required) 3) Edit DOOM2.CFG and/or DOOM1.CFG and change the [wad] entry to the path for the DOOM2.WAD and/or DOOM.WAD on your system. 4) Make sure the VESA driver for your video card is installed or that you are running UniVBE or SDD or one of the universal VESA drivers. 4) Type DETH to start the editor (CWSDPMI.EXE in zip must be in current directory or path if DPMI manager not supplied by other means). Troubleshooting --------------- 1) If it says it can't find DOOM2.WAD or DOOM.WAD, check the path to DOOM2.CFG, DOOM1.CFG in DETH.INI and insure it reads: #Path to config files Doom = doom1.cfg Doom2 = doom2.cfg Also check the [wad] entry in DOOM2.CFG or DOOM1.CFG and insure it' correctly locates your DOOM2.WAD or DOOM.WAD. 2) If the BOOM extended functions don't appear in the menus make sure DETH.INI has the Boom variable set to True. Running "DETH -boom" once should do this. 3) If the editor comes up - but most of the text is missing on the displays and menus, make sure DETH.FNT is in the directory you are running BOOM from. 4) Do not run DETH by double clicking DETH.EXE or a shortcut to it in Win'95 until you have created a shortcut, set the Program tab in the shortcut's properties to specify the DETH directory as the working directory, and set the Window properties to Full-Screen. You may not get fonts or load the config files properly otherwise. If you don't know how to edit shortcuts, start an MS-DOS prompt, make it full-screen with Alt-Enter, change to the DETH directory, and start DETH with a command line. 5) Write me at jflynn@pacbell.net, and explain the problem. I'll do my best to get you running.
