Doomatic
THE FINEST IPX DEATHMATCH LAUNCHER FOR DOS & WIN95
by Fabrice Denis and Boris Pereira
Doomatic is the deathmatch launcher and wad files manager you've always dreamed of. Under DOS, just run your usual IPX driver; Doomatic replaces Ipxsetup. Under Win95, just click on Doomatic.exe and you're off and running.
Here's the list of features:
- Client / Server model à-la-Quake: One person chooses the level and options, everybody else simply joins the game!
- Multiple Servers: If more than 4 persons are using Doomatic, you may see multiple Servers, and join the one of your choice. You can even see games that already started, so you know when people are playing DOOM over the network!
- Automatic file transfer if file is missing: When the Server starts the game, everyone who is missing files will receive them via network. You will receive the files in a sub directory of DOOM called 'DOWNLOAD'.
- Recursive search of the files: Put your wad files wherever you want, DOOMATIC will search for them before copying. So you will never have two copies of the same file in separate directories.
- Choose your preferred Color: The first players to join a game will receive their chosen color, the later to join will receive the remaining colors.
- WADSET collection: A WADSET is a grouping of levels, patches, and game options like 'nomonsters, skill, map #' that are appropriate for the level. Once you have setup a WADSET for your preferred levels, you will never enter the options again, you just press 'Enter' on a WADSET, and the game is launched!
- Automatic WADSET creation: Choose the wad files into a directory, enter a description for your wadset and Doomatic adds the Wadset to your Wadset list.
- Edit - Rename - Delete - Duplicate Wadsets: Each Wadset has its own description , so you can find easily your preferred levels!
- Usage sort: Your WADSETs can be sorted in order of usage! The ones at the top of the list are the ones that you have played the most!
- Enter your name: When you join a game, everybody else see your name, and the names will be recorded into your demos!
- Choose your Config: If you let someone play on your machine, no need to setup the config again and again, each player can have its own config.
- Support for EXE patches: With each WADSET you can associate an EXE patch. A 'patch' Wadset can be activated on the top of another Wadset. You select the patch Wadset by pressing 'Space' on it, then you press 'Enter' on any other Wadset to launch the game.
- Wad manager: You can rename and delete files from DOOMATIC.
- Nice text-mode interface: With menu and mouse. You can use the keyboard if you like so.
- Clean code, runs under Win95: Provided you have enough memory, DOOMATIC can run in a DOS box and will run perfectly! (You should have at least 16mb to run DOOM 2 under Win95.)
- And lots more!
