=========================================================================== Review : Old versions of DeHackEd for nostalgic hackers. =========================================================================== Update to : ./utils/exe_edit/dheold.zip In this update (February 2006) is the v. 2.0 BETA (in DHE199E.ZIP) of Dehacked added). Primary purpose : No levels included =========================================================================== Title : DeHackEd - old versions: v. 1.0, 1.2, 1.3, v. 2.0 BETA 2.0, v2.1, v2.2, v2.3, v2.4, v3.0 Filename : DEHACKED.EXE Release date : 94/95 Author : Greg Lewis (Tree) Email Address : gregl@umich.edu Official homepage : http://www.yossman.net/~tree/_doom.html Note by the uploader : This package of old versions is not supported by the author. It's upped because of compatibility issues and nostalgia. Description : Old versions of DeHackEd: v. 1.0 --> DEHACKED.ZIP v. 1.2 --> DHAKED12.ZIP v. 1.3 --> DHAKED13.ZIP v. 2.0 BETA --> DHE199E.ZIP v. 2.0 --> DHE20.ZIP v2.1 --> DHE21.ZIP v2.2 --> DHE22.ZIP v2.3 --> DHE23.ZIP v2.4 --> dhe24.zip v3.0 --> DHE30.ZIP DeHackEd is a tool, that changes the way, how the DooM executable works, that means, how the game DooM behaves. This package contains all the outdated versions of the tool. The latest version of DeHackEd by Greg Lewis, that is v3.0a, can be found in the /idgames -ftp -archives (see current list of mirrors at the end of this file) here: utils/exe_edit/dhe30a.zip DeHackEd v3.1 is able to work with Final DOOM. That update has been done by John A. Kaczmarski Jr. (74017.3225@compuserve.com or jkacz@en.com). It is avaiable in the /idgames-archives here: utils/exe_edit/dhe31.zip Although the newer versions have good downwards compatibility to older deh-patches, there are still sometimes one or two problems, when you try to use very old dehacked-patches with the latest versions of Dehacked (3.0a/3.1) and DooM(I and II v. 1.9). Because of that, you should import any antique deh-patch into the doom.exe-version, for that it has been created. Use for this action the dehacked version, that has been used to create the deh-patch. Then export the changes from the modified DooM.exe by using a newer version of DeHackEd, that is able to create patches, that are compatible with newer versions of DooM and Dehacked. It is important to know, that only dehacked 2.3 and 2.4 support DooM versions from 1.2 to 1.9. Since DeHackEd v.3.0, only DooM versions from 1.666 upwards are supported. Old deh-patches require often older versions of the doom(2).exe, to work properly. Start with downgrading DooM with /utils/exe_edit/downgrd.zip from Ultimate Doom v1.9 to Doom v1.1 And doom2.exe with /utils/exe_edit/dm2dwngr.zip from 1.9 to 1.666. (The file locations are from the /idgames archives, see list of current mirrors below). Upgrade from those low versions to the required version by using the official patches. =========================================================================== Version 3.0: Mouse up/down arrow bug in Goto Thing screen Ultimate Doom compatibility Cheat codes editing Changing of Thing names in patch files Searching cabilities in Text editor Fixed .ini offset support, include textlength Fixed graphics freeze when viewing some shotgun frames Mouse-click on Frames/Sounds in Thing editor now plays/view them Code pointer editing (via Frame table) Removed Thing List screen (F8) Removed Doom v1.2 compatibility Misc data editing (health/ammo/spheres/infighting/BFG) Consolidated Weapon/Ammo/Cheats/Misc into one screen New list-box for loading patches Version 2.4: Last 3 unknown bits found Option to reload exe data every load Tweaked string error handling in patch loads Modified docs to help more clueless people :) Version 2.3: Revised text patch format Better exe structure (doomhack.exe file) Support for Doom 1.9 Sound that works... maybe? Better "Go-to" for any screen Many sundry code tweaks Version 2.2: Mouse support! Command line merging Compatibility with Doom 2 v1.7a Greater patch file compatibility One more bit found (#5) Various minor code tweaks Version 2.1: Semi-working sound playback. Fixed the 'm'erge function, so now it actually WORKS (er, well, for Doom 1.666 at least) Added compatibility with (some versions of?) Doom 2. Version 2.0: Added new Frame viewer Text data editing Multiple patch loading More robust input functions. ESC abort input boxes. Cool windows, arrow keys to move around the fields, a *much* improved interface overall. A dehacked.ini file for paths and filenames. New 'j'ump command, jumps to the current data in another table. New patch file format, incompatible with old format. Allows sound/sprite editing. Version 1.3: Added new Thing information, to replace '?'s and unknowns Command line options for patching (batch files!) Frame editing (not all fields, only the "important" ones...) Copy command, with "Clipboard" Sprite table viewer (whoopie.) Slight redesign of keys, display, etc. Less buggy in general than 1.2 Version 1.2: Patch files now available New Ammo editor Fixed the 'e' thing on the help screen (Thanks to the 2,000,000 people who pointed it out!) Added new bit information, bits 12, 15, 26, and 27 Fixed "bit" bugs *again* New Frame and Sound table viewers New Thing (list-type) table viewer Version 1.1: [not in this package] New Bit Editor Width/height bugs fixed Version 1.0: The first thing! =========================================================================== * What is included * New levels : None Dehacked/BEX Patch : Yes * Play Information * Game : DOOM / DOOM2 * Where to get the file that this text file describes * The Usual: ftp://archives.3dgamers.com/pub/idgames/ and mirrors: ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/pc/games/idgames/ http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/pc/games/idgames/ http://public.ftp.planetmirror.com/pub/idgames/ http://www.gamers.org/pub/idgames/ ftp://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/vendors/idgames/ http://youfailit.net/pub/idgames/ http://ftp.fdn.fr/games/idgames/ ftp://ftp.clinet.fi/pub/mirrors/archives.3dgamers.com/idgames/ ftp://ftp.fu-berlin.de/pc/msdos/games/idgames/ ftp://ftp.task.gda.pl/pub/games/idgames/ ftp://ftp.netc.pt/pub/idgames/ http://ftp.netc.pt/pub/idgames/ http://crydee.sai.msu.ru/ftproot/pub/rec/games/idgames/ =========================================================================== Submitted to the /idgames-ftp-archives by FunDuke --> funduke@hotmail.com The review at the beginning of this template has been written by FunDuke.
