Misc. Author Info       : I love the movie ALIENS and the 
                          Starwars Trilogy (I can't wait for
                          starwars doom)

Description of DEH's:-

SKULBARL.DEH       This patch uses the Pain Element's death frames to make 
                   the Barrels fire out 3 flying Skulls when the explode. 
                   This patch only works with DEHACKED 2.0 and don't try 
                   using it with DOOM 2 because you will get funny Pain 
                   Elements deaths.

DEMCLBFL.DEH       This patch demonstrates how you can make baddies climb
                   and jump off ledges. This is done using bit 14.Floating
                   and bit 15.Semi-no clipping. The floating bit(14) lets 
                   them walk off ledges when turned on and bit 
                   (15)semi-no clipping lets them climb the ledges when 
                   turned on. You don't want bit(9)no gravity on because it 
                   will let them lift off the ground and you don't want 
                   bit (12)no clipping on then they can walk through walls.

EXPLOBUL.DEH       This simple patch turns bullet puffs into bullets that
                   hit the wall, fall onto the ground and then explode. 
                   Shoot a barrel once and let the bullet explode.

PLASRANG.DEH       This demonstrates how you can have ranged projectiles.
                   This how it is done:-
                   Frame   Sprite  Sub   Next   Frame Duration
                   107    20.PLSSA  0    108    6
                   108    20.PLSSB  1    107    6
                   If you look at it you can see it starts at frame 107
                   and then it goes to frame 108 and then goes back to frame
                   107 and keeps looping till it hits something but if we
                   change it to:-
                   Frame   Sprite  Sub   Next   Frame Duration
                   107    20.PLSSA  0    108    6
                   108    20.PLSSB  1      0    6
                   In this after frame 107 it goes to frame 108 and then it
                   goes to 0 (nothing dissappears) so in all it lasts 6+6=12
                   where before it lasted till it hit the wall.

MFLAM12.DEH        This my own personal flame thrower. It turns the plasma
                   rifle into a toasting flame thrower. It has limited 
                   range using the technique in PLASRANG.DEH and has bullet
                   sprites. I have also increased its ammo capacity.

CAC2PAIN.DEH       This patch only works with DEHACKED 2.0. It uses the 
                   Pain Elements frames and the Cacodemons sprites to turn
                   the Cacodemons into Skull firing baddies. Don't use this
                   with DOOM 2 unless you want the Pain Elements to look 
                   like Cacodemons.

TROOPMGN.DEH       This patch only works with DEHACKED 2.0 It uses the 
                   Chaingun Sargents frames and the Troopers sprites to
                   turn the Troopers into Chaingun maniacs. If you use it
                   with DOOM 2 the Chaingun guys will look like Troopers.

Here are some of my tips:-
1)If you are editting DOOM v1.666 try using the DOOM 2 frames.
2)You can use baddies fire ball frames to make them drop baddies when they 
die a good example is the face huggers coming out of the eggs in ALIEN-TC
(It is very good if you don't have it get it)

If you do some DEHACKED editing you will know each frame has a special 
action eg. The Barrel has the explosive damage frame.
What I want to be able to do is to edit special action for frames, I think
the code pointer tells you something but from what I have read changing it
does nothing, if you want to write to me put the messages on Fidonet or 
SBCnet addressed to Mathew Attlee. Could someone put this on Internet and 
it would be helpful if someone could put messages on Internet for me. 
Till the next Matt Attlee patch....
