THIS IS AN UPDATE, NOT A DUPLICATE! Welcome to the README FILE OF THE ULTIMATE BLOOD PATCH ][ FOR DOOM 2 Well I have done it again! Total mayham shall continue! What you see before you is an addon like none-other. With over 20 full features, this will be the ride of your life! INSTRUCTIONS: WELL BASICALLY ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS THIS: First extract all files from DMN2_15.ZIP into the DOOM 2 directory, then all you have to do is run master.bat. Pretty simple huh? *NOTE* I recommend that you have a fast computer for this, 486dx-66 will do fine, anything slower is not recommended. Pentiums are even better. Update: Well here we are at v1.5a. I have re-done alot of the features included in Doom's U.B.P. (ULTIMATE BLOOD PATCH) v2.0a, to be included with the 1.5a update of this patch. Those features and effects include the new disappearing blood effect. The new sounds, all 18 of them from Evil Dead 2, Aliens, etc. I also included the new walls, which are not shown that much. I also put in all new skies, and a new status bar. I also made the pointer of the menu an actual pumping heart! I have re-done the title screen for a bloody look, I also re-did the doom logo, adding more blood to that. I have added new text stories for each of the section endings in the game. I also have edited the file DEHACKED.INI to work with your doom2 instantly! Now you can play my patch faster than ever! You don't have to do any work, just extact files. I changed the master.bat to make a copy of the EXE so that all work is done seamlessly. Now its 100% error-free, being that it uses only temporary files, never touching your real doom 2 files! I also changed the cheat codes, since I don't like people cheating. The new ones are below. I'm also including the new DEUSF, which is v3.8. I've also changed the plasma gun to a Blood gun, which shoots real blood clusters! And I've added all new music for all 32 levels, inter-screen, text screen, and intro screen! I've also added all new demos that actually work with this patch! So sit back and enjoy! SOMETHING YOU CAN DO: This section was written just for you. Whenever you play this patch...here's something you can do to heighten the mood so to speak. First turn out all lights in your room. Try and do this at night time too. Now turn off any Gamma lightning levels you have on. Turn the SFX and the MUSIC volume to full Don't use cheat codes, unless you absoulutly suck. If its too dark, use the light-amp cheat, that's what its there for. And last, make sure it is a time when you will be not bothered. Now its just you, and the game. In total darkness, and immersion. I want Adrenaline running through your body, while the music, and screams of death fill you ears. HERE ARE ALL THE FEATURES: -Color changes from all the objects or beings with green parts are now changed to red. Such as the eye in symbol is now red, the green armor was changed to red, the spiritual armor's eyes are now red, an ammo box now has a tint of red to it, barrels filled with toxic now seem to be filled with a thick bloody substance, a plasma charge's green lights are now red, invulnerbility sphere is now red.
