But probably the greatest feature is that now you can also play in REAL DM's with other humans along with the MrdSolo robots. There's also an option to use other pwads. File List : MRDSOLO.COM - MrdSolo Program MRDPWAD.BAT - Lets you play other wads. MRDREAL.DAT - Modem/Serial settings. MRDSOLO.DEH - The DooM2.EXE hack. MRDSOLO.WAD - Levels with opponents set up.

LAN.COM - Ditto FILE_ID.DIZ - Short file description Disk Space Required : Just under 2 megabytes. Author : Tom Sanner (tprints@SPAMhotmail.com) Original file by... Michael Lundy (donlundy@SPAMgnn.com) Email Address : tprints@SPAMhotmail.com Web Site : www.tprints.com Misc. Author Info : Operator of Top 5% Web Site (see above) Author of numerous dm wads including... The award winning Mrdoom30 Wad, 10pak2, and Cross Attack wad. My other wads include Archie Wad, Dm1-Dm2 Wad, Cue2 Wad, 3Pitsdm, and others. Description: : If you can't find anyone to DM with, then this is for you. Now you don't need a buddy to play my Mr.DooM 30 in DeathMatch mode! There's also options to use Mrdsolo in a REAL deathmatch using either Network, Modem, or Null-Modem. And to top it all off, you can also use other Pwads with MrdSolo DM! This version of MrDooM30 Wad is NOT compatible with the original wad because of editing done to make the wad work with this hack. If you have limited hard drive space you can delete the original MrDooM30 and use this wad for regular deathmatch. Just make sure the other players use this too or you'll get that all to familiar "Consistency failure" error. Don't forget to use the NO MONSTER flag too. Outline Description : Uses monsters changed into players as your opponents. The following is what the monsters have been changed into... Troopers - Indigo pistols Demons - " " Spectres - " " SS Nazis - " " Sargents - Green shotguns Lost Souls - " " Chain Gunner - Red Chainguns Cacodemon - " " Imps - Brown Rockets Revenants - " " Mancubus - " " Barons - " " Hell Knight - " " Aracnotron - Red Plasma Gun Pain Element - " " Archvile - Red BFG Gun Spider Boss - " " Cyberdemon - " " I also bumped up the ammo amount you get when picking up weapons. Solo play is in alternate dm mode to allow you to grab respawning health power-ups. REAL dm is in old dm so you can always grab a weapon. How It Works : DOOM is tricked into 1-player deathmatch with monsters in nightmare skill level so their aim is better and they keep coming back. Installation: : Unzip into your DooM2 directory and type "MRDSOLO". Select Option #6 to prepare for first use and then return to the main screen and select a level or option of play! More info is below. Big Thanks to : Michael Lundy for GTT (the base for MRDSOLO) The Immortal for the original COMP-DM. Greg Lewis for DeHackEd Id Software Too many others to mention them all :) --------------------------------------------------------------- * Play Information * Game : DooM II Level(s) Replaced : MAP01 - MAP30 Single Player : Solo DM Practice. Cooperative 2-4 Player : Not really. Deathmatch 2-4 Player : Yes. Not just 2-4 players, but 1-4 players. Difficulty Settings : No, it's automatically set to nightmare to give your opponents better aim. New Sounds : No. New Graphics : A couple wall textures & screens. New Music : No. Demos Replaced : No. Other Data Replaced : The DooM2.EXE file. (It won't change yours. This comes with a DEH and all the software it needs.) * Construction * Base : Michael Lundy's "Grab That Throat" Main Editor(s) used : DCK, DeHackEd 3.0 Other Editor(s) used : Paint Shop Pro, Bat2exec Build Time : Not long once I got to it and figured out DeHackEd. Known Bugs : None that I know of, but let me know of any you may find or any suggestions for future releases. * Installation * Unzip this to your DOOM II directory and type "MRDSOLO" to load the program. Use option #6 to load the MrdSolo SETUP screen. Option #1 of the SETUP screen loads MRDREAL.DAT & MRDPWAD.BAT into your editor. Just follow the directions to set-up MrdSolo DM for first time use. I highly recommend that you also select Setup option #2 to make a second backup of your DOOM2.EXE just in case something naughty happens. Option #3 will restore this copy. Once completed return to the Main screen and select a level or option of play! To play other Pwads, hit "Q" and type "MRDPWAD WADNAME". Required to Have in Dir : DOOM II and the files in the list at the top of this text file. * Troubleshooting * Problem: DooM II may crash on some computers... Solution: ...This hack may have conflicts with computers which already have a network although I have had no problems. If you have problems, try using MRDBAT.TXT by renaming it to MRDSOLO.BAT. Then delete MRDSOLO.COM and edit MRDSOLO.BAT by removing (or REMming) the lines NE2000 0x61 (line 16) and LAN (Line 17) from it. Then use MRDSOLO.BAT to load and play MrdSolo DM. * Copyright / Permissions * Authors MAY use this WAD as a base to build additional WADs. You may do whatever you want with this file, as long as you give credit to the original author and me of course... Tom (Mr.DooM) Sanner (tprints@SPAMhotmail.com) Michael Lundy (donlundy@SPAMgnn.com) * Where to get this WAD * Web sites: www.tprints.com BBS numbers: None. Other: None. ================================================================== What's new from MRDSOLO Version 1.0... Version 1.1 - Converted MRDSOLO.BAT into MRDSOLO.COM for faster loading. Merged MRDSETUP.BAT & MRDSOLO.BAT into MRDSOLO.COM and both can be run together now. MRDPWAD is still a separate batch file though. Spiffied up the look of all the Menus. Moved REAL DeathMatch sections into MRDREAL.DAT and the Modem section to the top for easier editing. MRDSOLO.COM receives modem settings from MRDREAL.DAT when REAL DM mode is selected. Added error message to MRDPWAD.BAT if needed parameter is forgotten. Other Pwads can be in other directories now. You can also use any Skill level with other PWADS to allow more of a chance. Robot players are even faster (?) but don't respawn. I still recommend editing wads and using option 6 (Skill 5) for the best possible play. Frag counter now works in REAL MrdSolo Games. Only kills among humans are counted. Deaths to you by robots do not subtract from your total frag count so use that to your advantage when your health is low. If your computer crashes in the middle of a game, running MrdSolo will automatically recover your original DOOM2.EXE.
