=========================================================================== Review : This tool converts DooM and DooM2 wads to Heretic. It's probably most interesting for people with technical or historical interests and nostalgia obsessions, like me :). It has been created in 1995, so, if you use it, you should maybe better prefer to try it with plain vanilla WADs. Of course, you can try it, but don't expect perfect results from using this on a nowadays wad, created for zdoom or other source ports. =========================================================================== Primary purpose : No levels included =========================================================================== Title : DM1toHT1.EXE v1.0 32-bit (a Multi-Level DOOM I & II to HERETIC Converter) Filename : DM1TOHT1.EXE Release date : 11.Jun.1995 Author : David L. Davis aka SpottedTiger Email Address : SpottedTiger@yahoo.com Homepage : http://spottedtiger.tripod.com/ Other Files By Author : amok11t.zip amok2_11.zip dm1todm2.zip Description : Multi-Level DOOM I&II to Heretic Converter Converts Single/Multi-Level 'DOOM' PWADs and changes all MAPs, MUSIC, WALL Textures, and Graphic PATCHES quickly to 'HERETIC'. (* Requires HERETIC Registered *) [Note by the uploader:] This program does not run on Win32. But DosBox works fine. You might need to do some additinal editig with a level editor, to make the conversion result work properly. Customizing DM1TOHT1.DAT is most definitely a good idea. Another very good idea is to read and understand dm1toht1.doc completely. =========================================================================== * Construction * Base : New from scratch Compiler used : Borland C/C++ v4.02 and the Borland PowerPack v1.0 May Not Run With : WIN32 (but works with DosBox) Tested With : DosBox * Copyright / Permissions * Note by the uploader : Please respect the original author's rights, if you use this on wad's, that have been created by others.
