Herian Installation instructions:

Introduction -

Herian is distributed as a zip file (HERIAN.ZIP) and must
be extracted into your main game folder.

Many of the levels are very large and the game is designed
with single play in mind.

Herian requires an iD Software main IWAD such as DOOM2,
TNT or PLUTONIA in order to run.

Herian will not work with DOOM or ULTIMATE-DOOM.

If you own DOOM2 and use the Windows95 Doom interface then
use INSTAL95.BAT for installation.

If you own FINAL DOOM then use either INSTALLP.BAT or
INSTALLT.BAT.  INSTALLP recognises PLUTONIA.WAD.  INSTALLT
recognises TNT.WAD.

If you have obtained the BOOM executable then use INSTALBM.BAT
for installation.

If you have the DosDoom executable (recommended) then use
INSTALDD.BAT for the installation.

Whichever executable you have it must be in the same folder as
DOOM2.WAD (or PLUTONIA.WAD or TNT.WAD). HERIAN.ZIP should be
unzipped into this folder too then you can proceed with the
installation.

Don't play Herian using the original Doom2 executable for DOS.
Herian has too much detail in parts and may crash at some point
due to a "too many visplanes" error.  Use either Doom95, Boom
or DosDoom.

DosDoom is presently the most fun.  Enable the look up/down
feature but do not enable jumping.  That would be cheating by
enabling your character to reach places where he should not be
able to go.  If you want to cheat like that use "noclip" then
you can walk through walls and you won't need to jump.

HERIAN.WAD will not work until it is processed by the
install programme.

The installation program ensures that you have one of the
above registered id Software games.


What to do -

Select which Doom game you will use to play Herian then
unzip the HERIAN.ZIP file into its folder.

You will have unzipped the following files -

deusf.exe    - installer
herian.wad   - to be processed by the installer
hboom.bat    - runs Herian with Boom
hdoom95.bat  - runs Herian with Doom 95
hdosdoom.bat - runs Herian with DosDoom
instal95.bat - installs with Doom95
instalbm.bat - installs with Boom
instaldd.bat - installs with DosDoom
installp.bat - installs with Plutonia
installt.bat - installs with TNT
herian.txt   - about Herian
readthis.txt (this file)


Within Windows95 Explorer double-click on the appropriate
installation batch file and wait a few seconds until Herian
has been processed.  For example if you own Final Doom then
select either INSTALLP.BAT or INSTALLT.BAT (it does not
matter which you choose if you have both PLUTONIA.WAD and
TNT.WAD in your Final Doom folder).

A DOS box will appear telling you what is going on during
installation.  When installation is finished it is time to
play Herian.

None of your original files will be affected by the
installation of Herian if you follow the instructions
properly.

Play Herian either by double-clicking on *.BAT (the batch
file that matches the executable that you are using) within
your main game folder. If you are using Doom95 play the game
from within your Final Doom or Windows95 Doom interface.

If you do not have the Windows95 Doom interface then get it
from iD Software's web site at http://www.idsoftware.com
