RedGuy - Marine Graphics Patch
----------------------------------
Files Included:
REDGUY.BAT - Backs up your original player sprites, and installs
the REDGUY.
OLDGUY.BAT - Restores your original player sprites.
README.TXT - Your lookin' at it.
PLAYxxxx.GIF - Red player graphics.
Note:
Ok, I really made this for personal use, so the Batch files are quick
and dirty. Be sure to check your path. If it's not C:\DOOM then
you'll have to load your favorite text editor and do a FIND/REPLACE
to insert the correct path.
Also, this is for DOOM 1.666, I know nothing of DOOM II. May work,
may not. Never tried it. Probably never will. Have a nice day!
Installation:
Make sure you have DOOM :)
Make sure you have DMGRAPH. Can be found at your nearest DOOM FTP
Mirror site or at infant2.sphs.indiana.edu
REDGUY.ZIP should be unzipped to your DOOM directory. The batch
files assume your game directory is C:\DOOM, see note above.
Back up your DOOM.WAD if your a nervous camper. Even if your not,
all responsibility is yours.
Run REDGUY.BAT
Thats it, your ready to play.
Removal:
Simply run OLDGUY.BAT to restore original player sprites. However,
I have not done this yet. Should work fine.
Note 2:
Use at your own risk. Make sure you have backups. I assume no
responsibility for ANY mishaps, errors, muck-ups, or acts of GOD!
Had to be said.
Note 3:
In fairness and moral goodness, I should note that the cross on the
players back is not mine. I would like to give proper credit to
the person who added it but I no longer have this vital morsel of
information.
Note 4:
Many people have expressed interest in having this patch in PWAD form
instead of having to install the GIFs in the DOOM.WAD. Well, I'd like
that as well. I have tried it in PWAD form but every time my opponents
Marine is completely invisible and within a few minutes, the game
crashes violently. I'm not very fimiliar with graphics in PWADS
so if some kind PWAD guru can get it working, I'd appreciate a copy!
Final Note:
