- RUNNING SIGIL
- Instructions for Windows and Mac OS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
- Hello, and welcome to SIGIL, the unofficial episode 5 of the game DOOM.
- SIGIL comes with these files:
- SIGIL.txt
- SIGIL.wad
- SIGIL_COMPAT.wad
- If you paid for the fan boxes (Beast Box or Big Box) then you also have these:
- SIGIL_SHREDS.wad
- SIGIL_SHREDS_COMPAT.wad
- You need a version of DOOM to run SIGIL. If you are NOT experienced with the various
- flavors of DOOM then you will not need to use the SIGIL_COMPAT.wad and
- SIGIL_SHREDS_COMPAT.wad files.
- To play SIGIL, you need the DOOM.WAD file from the original DOOM or from
- The Ultimate DOOM. If one of these are installed, please note their location.
- You can get The Ultimate DOOM from Steam or GOG.com.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
- INSTALLING GZDOOM
- Download GZDoom from https://zdoom.org. Scroll to the bottom
- of the page and click "Get ZDoom". On the next page, find the latest GZDoom and
- click the download link that corresponds to your operating system under
- "Download (Modern, OpenGL 3.3 and higher)". Put GZDoom in its own directory.
- WINDOWS ONLY:
- Copy your DOOM.WAD file into the GZDoom directory. Drag and drop SIGIL.wad and
- SIGIL_SHREDS.wad onto GZDoom.exe to run it.
- MAC OS ONLY:
- You will need to copy your DOOM.WAD file into a special directory
- for GZDoom to find it. Run the Finder, bring up a New Finder Window, press
- Shift-Command-G, type ~/Library and go to the "Application Support" directory, then the "gzdoom"
- directory. Copy your DOOM.WAD file here.
- 1) Run GZDoom
- 2) Choose DOOM as the game
- 3) In the "Additional Parameters" section, click "Browse..." and choose the
- SIGIL.wad file from the location where you installed SIGIL (hopefully the same
- directory as GZDoom). If you bought a fan box, click "Browse..." again to
- choose the SIGIL_SHREDS.wad file.
- 4) Click OK
- When you're in DOOM, select NEW GAME, the SIGIL episode, then the skill level.
- Have fun!
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
- MULTIPLAYER COOPERATIVE MODE
- DOOM is limited to 8-player multiplayer. To run GZDoom in co-op, one person
- will be the host and the other players will connect to the host. Here are the
- instructions for running CO-OP MODE:
- [[ WINDOWS PLAYERS ]]
- To make it easier to run SIGIL and multiplayer mode in general, you should
- use ZDL, a GZDoom launcher. Go here to get it: https://zdoom.org/wiki/ZDL
- You want the latest version 3-1.0. Put ZDL.exe in the GZDoom directory.
- CO-OP HOST INSTRUCTIONS:
- 1) Find out what your IP address is. Run CMD.EXE. Then run ipconfig.exe and
- it'll show you the IP. It's usually 192.168.1.X. Tell the other players your IP.
- 2) Run ZDL.exe
- 3) Click the "General Settings" tab. On the left pane, click the + to add
- a source port. Type GZDoom for the name, then click the ... and Select GZDoom.exe
- from the directory where you installed it. In the right pane where it says
- "IWADs", click the + and type DOOM, click the ... and select the DOOM.WAD
- that's in the same directory as GZDoom.
- 4) In the "Launch Config" tab, in the left pane named "External Files" click
- the + at the bottom and select the SIGIL.wad. Click + again and select the
- SIGIL_SHREDS.wad. Then in the right pane, click on the
- DOOM IWAD so it's highlighted.
- 5) Above the "Launch" button you'll see the "Skill" pull-down menu. Select
- the skill level.
- 6) To the left of the "Launch" button is a down triangle. Click it to expand it.
- 7) Select "Game Mode" as "Co-op"
- 8) Set the "Frag Limit". We usually use 20.
- 9) Select the number of players total with the "Players" pull-down menu.
- 10) You might want to save this setup with CTRL+S
- 11) Click the HOST button
- OTHER CO-OP PLAYERS:
- 1) Run ZDL.exe
- 2) Do the same setup as the host numbers (3) and (4)
- 3) To the left of the "Launch" button is a down triangle. Click it to expand it.
- 4) Select "Game Mode" as "Co-op"
- 5) To the right of that field is the "Hostname/IP" field. Type the IP address of
- the HOST in there.
- 6) Select the "Players" pull-down option "Joining"
- 7) On the right side click the "JOIN" button to start
- ----------------------
- [[ MAC OS PLAYERS ]]
- 1) Find out what your IP address is. Go to System Preferences > Network and
- it'll show your IP. Tell the other players your IP address.
- 2) Run GZDoom.app
- 3) In the "Additional Parameters" box, go to the end and type:
- -skill 4 -warp 5 1 -host X
- X is the total number of players you want in the game. If it's just two of you, use 2.
- 4) Click OK. As other players connect to you, you will eventually see the game run.
- CO-OP PLAYERS:
- 1) Run GZDoom.app
- 2) In the "Additional Parameters" box, go to the end and type:
- -join X
- X is the IP number of the host.
- 3) Click OK
- Your game should start when all players have clicked OK.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
- DEATHMATCH MODE
- The setup is the same as the COOPERATIVE MODE setup for both HOST and the
- other players, but the HOST needs to add some parameters to the
- "Additional Parameters" box (MAC OS) or "Extra command line arguments" (WINDOWS):
- -nomonsters -deathmatch
- It does make things interesting when you leaves monsters in the game
- and allow the deathmatch arenas to open into the single-player areas!
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
- EXITMATCH
- I designed this game mode idea decades ago but never programmed it into
- a game. It was invented for DOOM, DOOM II, Heretic, Hexen, etc. Basically
- any game with level progression where you can kill your buddies. It's
- most fun when there are 3 or 4 players.
- The rules: You play COOPERATIVE mode as usual. You are all killing the
- monsters to get to the exit. If you kill each other, that doesn't matter
- since you end up at the start of the level anyway and have to catch up to
- the other players.
- But the only way to score the EXITMATCH point is to flip the exit switch.
- There is only one point possible per level and that point goes to the player
- who flips the exit switch! Watch as everyone start the level cooperating,
- but as soon as the end of the level is in sight, all kinds of problems
- start happening.
- Before you start, you decide how many levels, or points, are possible
- in the match. That's how many levels you'll play, and the winner is the
- player who flipped the exit switch the most times. You have to keep track
- of the score manually.
- It's quite possibly the most fun I've had playing DOOM.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
- MORE HELP
- You can find more information about running WADS here:
- https://doom.fandom.com/wiki/How_to_play_or_start_wads
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
- COMPATIIBLE VERSIONS
- There are some players who would like to use a more strict, old-school port
- of DOOM like PRBOOM or CHOCOLATE DOOM, or the Eternity Engine. If you
- are using a version that is very strict, then load the SIGIL_COMPAT.wad and
- the SIGIL_SHREDS_COMPAT.wad so SIGIL will work as an Episode 3 replacement.
- I hope you enjoy SIGIL! If you want to drop me an email about it, I'm john@romero.com.
