====================================================================== Archive Maintainer : This is a wad version of an existing Dmgraph patch. This version can be used with Doom, Ultimate Doom or Doom II, and is compatible with any source port that can import pwads containing sprite graphics (most of them). Update to : ./idgames/graphics/guy2sarg.zip Advanced engine needed : no Primary purpose : No levels included, this wad only contains sprite graphics. ====================================================================== Title : DoomGuy to Shotgun Sargeant (version 2) Filename : guy2sar2.wad Release date : December 2000 Author : Dave Matteson Email Address : davematt@mail.msen.com Description : This graphics-only patch swaps around the DoomGuy and the Shotgun Sargeants. Now YOU are the Sargeants going around killing the UAC Marines! You can even play Deathmatch with other Former Human Sargeants. Additional Credits to : Sparky of KISS Software (kelm@eisa.net.au) for converting the original Dmgraph patch to wad format. ====================================================================== * What is included * New levels : None Sounds : No Music : No Graphics : Yes Dehacked/BEX Patch : No Demos : No Other : No Other files required : A source port if you don't want to use 'Plain Vanilla' Doom or Doom II. * Play Information * Game : Doom, Ultimate Doom, or Doom II Map # : Any (this is a graphics-only wad). Single Player : Yes, although you're a Sargeant now. Cooperative 2-4 Player : Yes, you and your Sargeant buddies can go hunting for UAC Marines ;) Deathmatch 2-4 Player : Yes, battle of the Shotgun Sargeants! Difficulty Settings : not applicable * Construction * Base : player and sargeant sprites from Doom/Doom2, copyright id Software. Editor(s) used : Dmgraph, DeuTex and NWT Known Bugs : the Marines fall to the floor a little to quickly when they die. May Not Run With... : JDoom v0.81 ====================================================================== Play with Regular Doom/Doom2: a) add the extra sprites to guy2sar2.wad using a program such as DeuSF, WinTex, NWT, etc. For example: deusf -as guy2sar2.wad b) run the game with: doom -file guy2sar2.wad or doom2 -file guy2sar2.wad or for a multiplayer game run DeathManager and select guy2sar2.wad Play with a Doom Source Port: A much better option is to use a Doom Source Port that can import pwads containing sprite graphics; such as: Boom, PrBoom, MBF, SMMU, PrjDoom, Vavoom, ZDoom, Legacy, Edge, etc. Patching is not required, just use the wad as-is. For example: boom -file guy2sar2 ====================================================================== * Copyright / Permissions * Authors MAY use the contents of this file as a base for modification or reuse, provided that you credit Dave Matteson, the original author of GUY2SARG (Dmgraph version), and you credit id Software, the original author of these modified sprites.

You can play DeathMatch with your Former-Human Friends! YES!! GUY2SARG _requires_ DMGRAPH. I didn't include it in this ZIP because it is only a batch file, so it hardly takes up any space. Besides, I am only going to put it on infant2, and I know DMGRAPH is available there, so you can get it. There is a small 'bug' -- when you kill a Marine (besides splattering him) he falls kind of quickly ; this is due to the fact that the Sargeants have fewer death-sprites than the Player, so I had to sacrifice a couple pics, but it is still fun as hell. GUY2SARG will also change your sprites back to normal, all you have to do is run it with anything as a parameter, it doesn't matter what. Have fun with this thing, it took me quite a while to type it up, if you look at the batch file you can see it is quite long -- yes, I am an idiot, I didn't just use cut-n-paste then replace characters, I think that'd take me longer actually considering how fast I type.. - Dave Matteson (davematt@mail.msen.com)
