================================================================ Title : FIRST BLOOD PART IV Filename : RAMBO.WAD Author : Captain Chaos (Germany) Email Address : Email Adress ??? I don't even have a modem !!! Misc. Author Info : Hoplessly lost DOOM-CORE-MEMBER. Note from O.M. : The author sent this file by p-mail to me, and I then put it on the net. I'm feeling like a ftp site... Description : Well here's the story. (Who cares anyway ?!) Once upon a time four UAC-Marines tried to save the human race by fighting the evil forces of hell. Unfortunately they killed themselves in an ultimate deathmatch, so Earth is doomed. But there is still a chance to survive the attack of Evil. John Rambo himself and his three brothers have agreed to save the day. This Sprite-Patch replaces the four Marines with Rambo-look-alikes, wearing a headband (Player-Color) and sunglasses. Additional Credits to : - ID-Software (as usual) for the two most ass-kicking games of the entire planet! - My favourite deathmatch targets: General Custer Commander K Tomcat - To all Doomers over the world. (You know who you are !) ================================================================ * Play Information * Episode and Level # : This is a graphix-patch ! Single Player : Yeah, but ya won't see anything new ! Cooperative 2-4 Player : Sure, but what for ?? Deathmatch 2-4 Player : Yes, Yes, Rock ! Difficulty Settings : As usual. New Sounds : No! (Maybe next time !) New Graphics : Well, Yes! New Music : No! (Couldn't get First-Blood-Theme as a Midi-file!) Demos Replaced : None. * Construction * Base : My imagination and "some" ID-Sprites. Editor(s) used : DEUTEX, DEUSF, COREL-DRAW-PHOTOPAINT Known Bugs : None. (Deathmatch-tested with DOOM2.WAD) Build time : About three or four "long" nights ! * Copyright / Permissions * Forget it man, enjoy it or not. The rest is up to you... It'd sure be nice to include this .TXT file everytime you copy the WAD. Perhaps my name will be known someplace, someday ... (seufz!) * Where to get this WAD * Since I (really!) don't have a modem it should be very difficult to release this stuff !!! I know that this is crazy, but I'm going to send some copies of this to some addresses that I found on a DOOM-Tool CD I just bought. I hope that the guys who receive my letter will help me to spread this WAD all over the entire planet. This might sound unbelievable, but I don't know any- one who has a modem and Internet access. So what should I do ??? I spend hours and hours of work for this shit AND I WANT THIS STUFF TO BE PLAYED ALL OVER THE WORLD ! IT'S WORTH TO PLAY IT ! GOT IT ?! GOOD !!! * How to use this WAD * Well, for those who don't know a thing about DEUSF: You can't use RAMBO.WAD like other PWADS, because ID-Software didn't want fools like us to mess around with their sprites so easily. So if you want to replace a sprite of DOOM2.WAD you will have to append "all" DOOM2 sprites to the new .WAD file in order to use it. DEUSF does this for you! So this is it: 1st. Copy all files of this .ZIP into your DOOM2 directory. 2nd. Type the following command at the DOS-Prompt: DEUSF -SPRITES -APPEND RAMBO.WAD 3rd. Wait for DEUSF to append the missing sprites (might take some time!) 4th. Use a DOOM-Shell like DCC or DOOMIT to add RAMBO.WAD like a normal PWAD when playing a multiplayer game of DOOM2. 5th. Have fun !!! NOTE: After appending the missing sprites RAMBO.WAD takes more than 4 MB disk-space. Be sure to have enough space left on your hard-disk !!! There is no other (less space-wasting) way to use this .WAD - Sorry ! * Additional Stuff * I thought it'd be very funny to replace the UAC-Marines with some other heroes, till I realized how much time it would take (That was when I had already done half of the work !). But after all I'm quite pleased with the result and hope that you enjoy it as much as my FMDT's (Favourite- Moving-Deathmatch-Targets) did. Imagine your friend is looking out for you and John Rambo runs up to him and tears him apart with a shotgun- blast. Big Surprise! (He, He !!!). It might be a little more difficult to identify the colors of your opponents (Who cares - except playin' a two on two deathmatch !) and due to the bright skin color you might get seen a bit earlier when hiding in a dark sector ("Megaheroes don't hide at all !" - C.C. -) So I don't have a modem, but if ya like this stuff and want to contact me for some reason (Comments - Tips - Homaging - or whatever) here is the right address to reach the Captain himself: Captain Chaos P.O. Box 1313 37106 Duderstadt Germany I don't think that anyone will contact me at all, but it 'd be cool ! (By the way I never thought anyone would read this shit this far !!!) That's all for now, but be sure this ain't the last you heard of me (Remeber I want to get famous !! Ha!). Oh, Yes: Don't complain about my English!! (At least I tried to be cool.) Keep on DOOMing ! -Captain Chaos- P.S.: Special greetings must go to Dave Biggs whose Chook-WAD is some of the coolest stuff around. Now I know what you've been through Dave !! BYE !!!
