DOOM WADS Welcome to this month's hand picked selection of Doom II WADS. The four most outstanding WADS we've run across this month are as follows: ^U DARKBASE.WAD^u -- Dark Base - Single player WAD but good for 2,3,4 players ^UEBOLA.WAD^u -- Ebola - A single player WAD but still good for deathmatch ^UPAN.WAD^u -- Pan - Six levels all rolled into one ^UWUPASS1.WAD^u -- A Whole Can of Whup Ass - With a name like that... All of these files can be found in the \DOOM directory on our CD. As always, just copy the files into your DOOM or DOOM2 directory (or wherever you installed the game). RUNNING WADS If you're wondering what to do with a Doom WAD once you copy it into your DOOM or DOOM2 directory, here are a few tips. There's usually a TXT file for you to read, and some even include a batch file for loading the WAD. If you're left clueless, the standard procedure is to type: DOOMX -FILE WADNAME.WAD * where DOOMX = your Doom executable command, either DOOM or DOOM2 * where -FILE = would appear just as it is * where WADNAME.WAD = is the name of the WAD file you wish to load i.e. To run the DARKBASE.WAD for Doom 2, type: DOOM2 -FILE DARKBASE.WAD. This doesn't always work, they're just general guidelines. As with all WADS, updates, add-ons or patches make sure your original files are backed up.
