The TronicSound-TC for Doom by Tronicmind

The TronicSound-TC is a completely new and FREE sound scheme for Doom.
Every sound in the game is NEW.  All monsters, weapons and items 
have been carefully enhanced.  
It is not meant to be funny or obscure.  My goal was to create
a serious and intense experience for the player by adjusting and
enhancing all of the sounds in Doom.

The TronicSound-TC takes advantage of the new cababilities that PC`s 
offer today. More RAM and better Soundcards.

See for yourself, try the TronicSound-TC right now!  It is absolutely
FREE!


How to use the TronicSound-TC for Doom:

For best performance its recomended to play the Doom Wads with the 
powerfull DosDoom application.

dosdoom download at:
http://frag.com/dosdoom/downloads.html

-copy the dosdoom.exe in a folder called "Doom".
-copy the Doom.wad and the Playback.wad into the same folder.
-copy the Tronic.wad into the same folder.
-create a doom.bat file and insert this commandline:

dosdoom  -width 640 -height 480 -highcolor -heapsize 20 -cdaudio 
-file tronic.wad


Notes:
-dosdoom starts the dosdoom.exe
-width 640 -height 480 is the resolution. (Try -width 800 -height 600!
 maybe your graphiccard is powerfull enough to show it :) 
-highcolor.If the framerate is very low delete this option.
-heapsize 20. This is the RAM in MB you need to run Doom with the 
 Tronic.Wad.
-cdaudio enables the cd in your cdROMdrive. (I use the Quake1 soundtrax)
 Type cdnext or cdprev within the game to switch titles.
-file tronic.wad. This is the new sound :)

This procedure works with all Original Wads:
-doom
-doom2
-tnt
-plutonia

But what about the AddOn Wads???

Unfortunally you can only add ONE AddOn WAD with the "-file xyz.wad" 
command. So you have to decided:
-play Doom with the TronicSounds
 or
-play new levels.... :(

Here`s the way around that problem:

Merge the tronic.wad into the AddOn Wad!!!

There`s a cool tool out there to do it. Wintex can be used even by the
unexpierenced "i just like to play doom" user.

Download it at:
http://www.daimi.aau.dk/~hykkelbj/doom/wintex
http://www.islandnet.com/~ccaird/doom
http://www.conline.com/~jelson/wintex/index.html

You also need the VBRun300.dll to start the program.
You get it at:
http://www.unboxed.com/vbrun300.html

Put the vbrun300.dll into your system folder, restart your computer and
you are ready to go:

-start wintex and open the folder that contains the Doom or Doom2.wad
-wintex opens the main window. There are two windows of intrest:
 the "PWad to join" window 
 the "PWad to examine or modifie" window
-browse to the tronic.wad in the first window (PWad to join) and 
 highlight it.
-browse to the AddOn.wad in the second window (PWad to examine or modifie)
 and highlight the AddOn.wad you wish to merge the tronic.wad into.
-click the "join PWads" button.
-done!!!

A textfile with a short report will pop up, close it and the TronicSounds
are in the AddOn.wad :)

Go ahead! start your AddOn.wad and enjoy both. New levels AND new sound!!

How to use AddOn.Wads:

A AddOn.Wad depends on a specific Original WAD.
This means its programed "over" this original wad. (most of them use
Doom2). Look into the readme file to find out wich original wad you need
to run the AddOn.Wad:

-memento mori 1 and 2 run with doom2.
-icarus runs with doom2.
-requiem runs with doom2.
-eternal doom runs with the tnt.wad of final doom.

Copy the AddOn.Wad in the folder with the matching original WAD and
create a bat.file

Example memento mori:
Copy the mm.wad into the folder that contains:
-dosdoom.exe
-doom2.wad
-playback.wad of doom2

create the memento.bat:

dosdoom.exe -width 640 -height 480 -highcolor -cdaudio 
-heapsize 20 -file mm.wad

DoubleClick the memento.bat...here we go!!
