                        Boom, PrBoom, MBF, SMMU, ZDoom, Legacy, etc.

Title                  : The Spawns Cave (version 2)
Filename               : tsc2.wad  tsc2.deh  tsc2.txt
Release date           : January 2001

Original Author        : Nathan Iyer              [email protected]
Version 2 update by    : Sparky of KISS Software  [email protected]

Description            : A single-player level for Doom II v1.9
                        featuring some modified monsters (look out
                        for that green Former-Marine), and a few
                        very nasty puzzles/traps near the exit.

                        New to version 2:
                        - removed the illegal doom2.exe file and
                          added an equivalent DeHackEd patch.
                        - combined the three wad files (map, textures
                          and sounds/sprites) into a single wad.
                        - this distribution contains only 3 files:
                          tsc2.deh  tsc2.wad  tsc2.txt

======================================================================
* What is included *

New levels             : 1
Sounds                 : Yes, for the new monsters.
Music                  : No
Graphics               : Yes - modified Doom/Doom2 textures & sprites
Dehacked/BEX Patch     : Yes - external  (tsc2.deh)
Demos                  : No
Other                  : No
Other files required   : A Doom Source Port if you don't want to
                        use a patched 'Plain Vanilla' Doom II.


* Play Information *

Game                   : Doom II v1.9
Map #                  : Map01
Single Player          : Designed for
Cooperative 2-4 Player : Player starts only  (untested)
Deathmatch 2-4 Player  : Player starts only  (untested)
Difficulty Settings    : Yes
Will not work with     : Source Ports which can't import a DeHackEd
                        patch, such as: JDoom, Edge, etc.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Use with 'Plain Vanilla' Doom II
--------------------------------

To play TSC2 with 'Plain Vanilla' Doom II you need to:

a) create a replacement exe file (doomhack.exe) using DeHackEd v3.1
  and tsc2.deh.   For example:  dehacked -load tsc2.deh

b) add the extra sprite graphics to tsc2.wad using a program such as:
  DeuSF, WinTex, NWT, etc.  For example:   deusf -as tsc2.wad

c) once patched, play the game with:   doomhack -file tsc2.wad


Use with a Doom Source Port
---------------------------

A better option is to use a Source Port that can import DeHackEd
patches and pwads containing sprite graphics; such as:  Boom, PrBoom,
MBF, SMMU, PrjDoom, ZDoom, Legacy, glBoom, ZDoomGL, etc.  Patching is
not required with these ports, just use the files as-is. The following
example will work with all of these source ports (except ZDoomGL):
  boom -deh tsc2.deh -file tsc2.wad

ZDoomGL requires a more complex command line which is hardware
specific - see the ZDoomGL documentation for more information.

Title                   : The Spawns Cave
Filename                : TSC.WAD

                         not?

Description             : This wad takes place in a cave by the aliens.
                         You have been told by Earth officials that they
                         have located a patch of alien resistance in a huge
                         cave which used to be a volcano and that the aliens
                         have a top secret base inside the cave.
                         You will be teleported inside the base, once
                         inside you have been ordered to
                         infiltrate the area and eliminate all the
                         spawn you can, and hopefully finding and
                         rescuing most of Marine hostages. If you can't,
                         you have been ordered to terminate them. Earth
                         officals warn you that some of the humans sided
                         with the aliens during their takeover, and there
                         MIGHT still be some around.

Comment                  : I've seen a lot of WADS, and I think this wad
                          ranks with some of the cooler ones.
                          Some of the ROOMS are
                          pretty big, this level is supposed to
                          be part of a series. -the 1st level in a NEW one.

Deathmatch 2-4 Player   : Yes ( not tested )

* Construction *
Base                    : New level from scratch.

Editor(s) used          : Used Waded v.183 to build the map, and BSPx1.5 to
                         build the nodes. RMB.30 made it faster
                         and prevented a certain monster from blasting you
                         inside out when your on a certain lift.

Known Bugs              : None -please, of course, TELL me if you find any!

*NOTES*

-When you delete TSC, USE THE BATCH FILE (delTSC.bat) and it will make a
 backup copy of the TSC.ZIP file called TSCZIP.BAK so you don't have to
 download it again the next time you want to play ( 'cause the
 original ZIP file gets deleted along with the TSC subdirectory
 -see below for further details.

-Getting Started-

PKUNZIP this file in the doom2 DIR. *WARNING* MUST BE C:\DOOM2 !!!!!!
The zip file, TSC.zip, should have the following files:

instaTSC.bat |  delTSC.bat |  TSC03.wad | A_NEWWAD.txt -just ignore
runTSC.bat   |  TSC.wad    |  TSC02.wad | TSC.txt -this file |DEUSF.exe

-To install use the batch files I included, they should work:

instaTSC.bat -Installs TSC and makes a subdirectory
             in your c:\doom2 DIR. called TSC then it
             moves all the TSC related files to
             that DIR - see MANUAL INSTALL if
             this doesn't work.

runTSC.bat  -THIS FILE IS VARY IMPORTENT AND MUST (almost) BE USED!!

delTSC.bat -deletes c:\doom2\tsc subdirectory and makes a Backup copy of
TSC.ZIP called TSCZIP.bak, also restores doom2 to original state.

^ The last two files, BATCH files, STAY in your doom2 directory, so you
  don't have to go into the TSC subdirectory to run or delete TSC.

-Please notify me if it is nessecary for the immediate construction of the
next level, AND PLEASE PLEASE, PLEASE ( ! ) give me feed back on my level!

-Be merciful, put the captured, chained, and tortured Marines out
 of their misery.

* Copyright / Permissions *
Authors MAY NOT ( SORRY ) use this level as a base to build additional levels
( Since I AM ! ). You may, however, use it as an Inspiration and/or use
some of my ideas.

You MAY distribute this WAD, in any form, provided you include this file,
with no modifications. If you intend to upload this wad elsewhere, please
let me know.


* OTHER WADS *

SuperNova.wad
Whitehot.wad
LAB.wad
              -None of these are sequels to TSC.wad
Spaceport.wad
Pyramid.wad

CHECK OUT OBTIC.WAD by TiC !!

* WHERE TO GET THIS WAD AND OTHERS *

Http://cdrom.com/pub/doom2/levels - or something like that. Just try cdrom.com and
click on the free software link area.

Once again, if you think this is the greatest single level in the world....
TELL ME!

I will except NO responsablity for ANY damage done to your computer as a
result of using my files.
It is advised that you, first install a "clean" copy of doom2 IN A DIRECTORY
CALLED c:\doom2 ( ! ) , and then make a backup of the doom2.exe file, for it
will be edited!

***MANUAL INSTALLATION AND DELETEING*** -Use this section if your doom2 DIR
is NOT C:\doom2
It is ALSO advised that you be DOS savvy, NOT that I have any reason
to believe you wouldn't be, if you plan to do the manual installation.
-and yes, I am 13 years old if you are now/still doubtful.

STEPS

1. PKunzip TSC.zip into doom2 directory.
2. Make (md) a subdirectory called TSC
3. ! IMPORTENT ! rename (rename) your doom2.exe file to dm2exe.bak
  and rename TSC.exe to DOOM2.exe.
  Then type: Deusf -doom2 c:\{doom2DIR} -merge tsc02.wad tsc03.wad

4. copy (copy) all TSC unziped files into TSC directory + ZIP file

  -see "Getting Started" for nessecary files and their discription.

5. When in c:\doom2\TSC directory type: runTSC, to run TSC!
6. To delete TSC go into c:\doom2\TSC and
  type: COPY TSC.zip c:\doom2\TSCzip.bak .Then go to c:\doom2 and type:
  deltree TSC. Then restore doom2 by del -ing doom2.exe and renameing
  dm2exe.bak doom2.exe. TYPE: deusf -doom2 c:\{doom2DIR} -res doom2.wad


- of course you could also just USE THE DELETE.BAT BATCH FILE!

Hope you like my WAD!!!
