DOOMED AGAIN CHRISTMAS 2009 DEMO Main download link: http://www.filefront.com/15209195/da_xmas.zip DISCLAIMER: This demo is provided "as is". NO ASSISTANCE WILL BE PROVIDED, YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN HERE. During the last weeks, new members have joined the team and the game has evolved far beyond what you've seen in the gameplay videos : a lot of new features have been planned and implemented. In fact, it's almost a new game we're working on, not just a remake of doom. Because of this, the long-awaited beta 1 won't be released before a few months. So here is the DA Christmas 2009 demo, built from the internal alpha 2 test version. Don't bother send us bug reports about this one : we know it's broken/incomplete/primitive. We just wanted to give you a little something to play with during the holyday season. :) INSTALLATION: - Download the build of EDGE 1.34 that suits your OS (from http://edge.sourceforge.net/) and unpack the file in a NEW directory (do not overwrite a previous EDGE installation if you have one). - Place a copy of a registered Doom IWAD in this directory. You may use any version of doom : Doom, Ultimate Doom, Doom 2, Final Doom. You may also use the Freedoom IWAD (http://www.nongnu.org/freedoom/), but some sounds might be missing. - Unzip da_xmas.zip in the same directory, MAKE SURE YOUR ARCHIVE MANAGER OVERWRITES ALL EXISTING FILES (that's "edge.wad" and all files in the "doom_ddf" subdirectory). - Run "EDGE134.EXE" (Windows) or "edge134" (Linux) - Make sure "dynamic lights" are turned on in the video options. For optimal video quality, you should also set "smoothing", "detail level" and "mipmapping" to the highest level. You may also wish to set the video resolution while you're here. - In the "sound options" menu, make sure "sample rate" is set to 22050 Hz or more and "mix channels" is at least 32. - Don't forget to bind the "Action 1" and "Action 2" keys in the controls menu. "Action 1" is "throw flares" (suggested key: F) and "Action 2" is "toggle night-vision" (suggested key: V). - When done setting these option, quit and restart EDGE. - You're done ! KNOWN PROBLEMS: - If the linux version crashes with a "unknown language : english" message, overwrite Doomed Again's doom_ddf/language.ldf file with the original version from the EDGE package. DISTRIBUTION: 1- The file da_xmas.zip might be freely copied and distributed as long as no file is modified. This README file *MUST* be included in the archive. 2- All sprites might be used in any other WAD but you *HAVE TO* credit us. Something like "monster/weapon created for the Doomed Again project" will do. |
