=========================================================================== Review : An italian twelve-level -addon with a deh-patch, that, amoung other stuff, makes dead bodies, that hang from the ceilings, and skulls shootable. Cool stuff! =========================================================================== Primary purpose : Single+Coop play / Deathmatch =========================================================================== Title : The Temple of damned Filename : TEMPLE2.WAD TEMPLE.DEH Release date : 05/21/96 MM/DD/YY (Timestamp of the textfile) Author : Paolo Tagliaferri, Montesissa Marco Email Address : Nobody Description : You have hardly complete the yours last mission against stalks that you didn't know not even when your principal have called you and place trust a new mission. The Kalonaj sect has established a base in the beautiful half of the Rocky mountains and, behind to a false coverage locates one of the biggest chemical fittings of the country. The sect has in mind the destruction of the planet. You have heard that the chemical radioactive agents of the zone have contaminated the belonging to the sect and have transformed them in abominable monsters. A complete brigade has been order to destroy the base, but it is not returned. Births and armed only of the yours faithful Beretta enters the sanctuary. For fortune a last message sended from the brigade has informed us that to the entrance of the sanctuary there is two hostile telereporter that activated, they free an ENORMOUS quantity of monsters. Notes by the uploader : This add-on came originally with an installation program, that got lost during it's way to me. But that doesn't matter. It's still nicely playable. Like a lot of other WAD makers, the creators of TEMPLE2.WAD have used the status bar from INVADE1.WAD by Andy Chen and Claude Martins. But they missed to include the STARMS -graphic, so the status bar was messed up in single player mode. Because of that, i included the missing graphic in starms.wad. Look at the play instructions, to see how to use that. The DeHackEd patch, that comes with this WAD, was created with DeHackEd v. 2.2 and (apparently) DooM2 v. 1.666. Because that binary patch was not usable with modern source ports, i converted it to the modern text-based format. It can now be used with DooM2 v. 1.9 and dehacked 3.1 and also with source-ports, that support the use of deh-patches via the -deh parameter. The original binary deh-patch is included in deh22pt.zip. People from italy can read the WAD info in their mother-language in README.ITA. =========================================================================== * What is included * New levels : 12 (Editing of the levels: Paolo Tagliaferri) Sounds : Yes (New resounding: FX of Paolo Tagliaferri) Music : Yes (New music: Music of Montessissa Marco (Credits to Heretic by Raven are also due)) Graphics : Yes (New graphics: to care of Montesissa Marco and Paolo Tagliaferri) Dehacked/BEX Patch : Yes (Editing Doom2.exe: Paolo Tagliaferri) Demos : No Other : No Other files required : If you play with plain vanilla DooM, you will need Deusf (comes with deutex) and DeHackEd. * Play Information * Game : DOOM2 Map # : MAP01 MAP02 MAP03 MAP04 MAP05 MAP06 MAP07 MAP08 MAP09 MAP10 MAP11 MAP30 Single Player : Designed for Cooperative 2-4 Player : Designed for Deathmatch 2-4 Player : Designed for Other game styles : No Difficulty Settings : Not implemented See wadwhatoutput.txt for more information. How to play : # Source ports: # Users of most advanced source ports can use this stuff 'out of the box', without preparation. Just type: mysourceport.exe -file temple2.wad starms.wad -deh temple.deh # Plain Vanilla DooM II: # With plain vanilla, do this: You have to get the latest version of DEUSF, that comes together with DEUTEX (stored in the directory /utils/graphics_edit/deutex/ of the /idgames -ftp-archives, see list of mirrors below). You also need DeHackEd from either dhe30a.zip or dhe31.zip. They are stored in utils/exe_edit/ of the /idgames -ftp-archives. Now place deusf.exe and dehacked.exe in your DooM2-directory together with the wads and deh-patch from tempdamn.zip. Now type: deusf -join temple2.wad starms.wad (That will add the missing status bar graphic to temple2.wad.) ... and then type: dehacked -load temple.deh and accept dehacked's question, if it may create 'doomhack.exe' as the patched executable, with 'y' (for 'Yes').
