#-Telekom (web page distribution) readme-#

1. Game file descriptions

• 1.1. Telekom.zip
  Main wad file (compressed), contains the maps 1-32, textures, flats, ambient sounds, graphics, sndinfo for zdoom. (For any port, e.g. zDoom)
• 1.2. Tkom150_dday.exe

• 1.5. Flats.zip
  Hi_res flats package for Gzdoom, PrBoom
• 1.6. Telemus3.wad
  Full replacement music and partial replacement sound wad. It has been separated from the main wad, because not everybody will like it (maybe I am much older, than you).
• Doomsday:
  If you have Kickstart, add the two extracted main files (Telekom.wad, Telemus3.wad) to the doom2 wad list, and put them a thick. If you want to play with other wads, rename the telekom.pk3 file in the Auto folder.
• Other ports:
  Select the files (Telekom.wad, Telemus3.wad) and drop them to the port's exe file (e.g. gzdoom.exe)

• Prboom (glboom)+:
  Create a /textures and a /flats folder in your prboom directory.
  Unzip the textures into the /textures folder.
  Than unzip the flats into the /flats folder.
• Doomsday latest versions also have a /flats folder, you should use it to place the new flats, renaming is needed, remove from the "flat-" from the beginning of the filename (or download flats.zip) .
• Gzdoom:
  similar to PRboom

3. Effects and issues, engine dependency

• 3.1. Risen3d
  There are no problems on the test computers. Good fps, everything (Hi-res textures, models) are switched on. Smooth gameplay, good movement. You will have: titlepic, ambient sounds, rain, snow, fog, level names replaced (not always, doomsday old version issue), high resolution texture and flat usage. I had to delete some effects from the dd_defn, because they does not seem to work with this engine, but it is a very small problem only (actually, the smallest).
• 3.2. Doomsday 1.7.14, 1.8.6
  The slowest computer have during the game speed issues (some wad parts with 1.8.6.). Since the sound thing is used as a dummy model, if you don't use models, they can be seen as a "TFOG" (teleport fog) sprite (or if the 3D models are on, but a sound thing is further than the 3dmodel visibility limit).
  You have to switch the "Use external textures in all pWads" function. You will have: ambient sounds, rain, snow, fog, patches replaced (not always, doomsday old version issue, new versions handle it perfectly), high resolution texture and flat usage, texture lights, other effects.
• 3.3. Prboom(glboom)+
  No problems, fast and smooth gameplay.
  You can see graphic patches and the high resolution textures and flats. Other effects will not work.
• 3.4. Zdoom
  No problems, fast and smooth gameplay.
  You can have perfect ambient sounds. Graphic patches will work.
• 3.5. GZdoom
  The player turns too fast (FPS problem). There are sometimes white pixels at horizontal lines near the floor.
  You will have ambient sounds. Graphic patches will work.
  You may have high resolution textures and flats.
• 3.6. Legacy
  No problems, fast and smooth gameplay, the player turns fine.
  There are sometimes white pixels at horizontal lines near the floor (fewer than in gzdoom). Graphic patches will work.
• 3.7. Doom95
  Due to the ambient sounds (handled as things) you will get an "Unknown thing type" error message, the program won't start.
