                      ==** WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD **==


1A. Is there a list of the secrets in DOOM ][?
      See "DOOM ][ Secrets list" in rgcd.announce or:
        ftp://{INS site/path HERE}/docs/faqs/d2secret.zip
|       http://doomgate.cs.buffalo.edu/doom2/secrets/secrets.html
      ftp://{INS site/path HERE}/docs/faqs/dm2_keys.faq    [DOOM II Keys FAQ]

1B. Is there a virus in DOOM ][?
      Not in copies distributed by GTI, id's authorized DOOM ][ distributor.
      But, in F-Prot documentation from v2.14 onwards, this is mentioned:
        Goldbug is a complex virus, made in USA.  It managed to slip
        into international circulation in summer 1994.  Goldbug was,
        apparently on purpose, attached to a beta version of the
        game DOOM.  This archive was circulated in BBSs worldwide.
      Another virus associated with DOOM ][ is Tai-Pan.666, but it does not
      activate, is not intentionally destructive and isn't related to DOOM ][
      per se, pirated or not.  F-Prot v2.16 detects it and can disinfect it.

1C. What are those two secret levels (31 and 32) in DOOM ][?
      They are levels from Wolfenstein-3D, predecessor of DOOM.  They are
      accessed from level 15 through the secret exit in the south-west.  See
      1A for a description.  They are not present in the German version.
      There are 4 Commander Keen's `hanging around' in level 32.  Shoot them
      to reveal the switch to end the level.  Commander Keen and Wolf3D are
      earlier game series created by id and distributed through Apogee.

1D. Where can I get DOOM/][ v1.8 for Linux and v1.9 for DOS?
      On 30 Nov 1994 John Romero announced that DOOM v1.8 will be released in
      December.  A DOOM CD will be mastered with Heretic (by Raven Software).
      On 9 Dec 1994 David Taylor released Linux SVGA and X-Windows DOOM v1.8.

      ftp://{INS site/path HERE}/docs/faqs/hrsecret.zip

1G. What are the Heretic cheat codes?

      cockadoodledoo - Chicken mode; turns player into chicken w/ 30% health
      massacre   - Kill all monsters on level

      ticker     - Display fps dots (fps = 70 / <dots+1>)
      gimme$#    - Get artifact; $ = [a-j], # = [1-9] = artifact count;
                   a=Ring of Invincibility, b=Shadowsphere, c=Quartz Flask,
                   d=Mystic Urn, e=Tome of Power, f=Torch, g=Time Bomb of the
                   Ancients, h=Morph Ovum, i=Wings of Wrath, j=Chaos Device;
                   shareware version: d,j = bad input; max.# of artif. = 16
      engage##   - Warp to episode # mission #
                   (does not deactivate '-nomonsters' command line option)
      ravmap     - Toggle map detail (can use in Map Mode only; repeatable)
                   3 modes: normal -> all walls -> all monsters (-> normal)

              and the Bag of Holding)

1H. What's this about a deathmatch cheat code?
      A special cheat code to display your opponent(s) in deathmatch has been
      discovered.  To activate, in Map Mode keep Right_Alt down and type iddt
      4 times.  This works in DOOM / DOOM ][, but not in Heretic with ravmap.
      It was removed with the v1.9 patches to DOOM & DOOM ][.

1I. What does the message about SWIFT support mean?
      "CyberMan: Wrong mouse driver - no SWIFT support" is a normal startup
      message when no Logitech CyberMan(tm) controller is connected.  It does
      not affect a regular mouse.

1J. What is Strife?
|     A DOOM-like game in a futuristic setting by Cygnus Studios, to be
|     released later this year.


2A. What are the DOOM / DOOM ][ cheat codes?
      iddqd      - God mode, 100% health; can't be injured, except in
                   teleport frags, DOOM ][ level 30 monster spawns, and

      For more details, see "DOOM I and II Cheat Codes" in rgcd.announce or:
        http://www.cee.hw.ac.uk/~mapleson/doom/helpdocs/doomchts.html

2B. What goes on at DOOM ][ Level 30 and how do I finish it?
      The backwards-sounding voice says, when played in reverse:
        "To win the game, you must kill me, John Romero."
      This is the only backward sound-clip.  A reversed .WAV file is at:
        ftp://{INS site/path HERE}/misc/dm2sm30.zip
      The head on the pole behind the block shooter is accessible only by `no
        clipping'.  It's John Romero, a DOOM programmer and excellent player.
      To end the level, read the recipe & watch the demos for playing hints:
        ftp://{INS site/path HERE}/docs/faqs/d2l30rcp.txt
        ftp://{INS site/path HERE}/lmps/doom2/d2lev30.zip
        ftp://{INS site/path HERE}/lmps/doom2/lvl30demo.zip
        ftp://{INS site/path HERE}/lmps/doom2/prfect30.zip

2C. Does DOOM benefit from a FPU for floating point calculations?
      No.  All calculations in DOOM 1.1 and beyond use integers.  Hence,
      DOOM does not suffer from the Pentium floating point bug in any way.

2D. Is there a multiplayer demo in DOOM?
      The second demo in DOOM shareware v1.666 is a multiplayer demo of E1M5.
      Press F12 to toggle between the two players' views.

2E. What happened to the left/mid/right views?
      It was dropped in the v1.2 upgrade when the network driver was
      rewritten to use addressed packets instead of broadcast packets.

2F. Why doesn't that Pain Elemental spit out Lost Souls?
      This is sometimes observed at the beginning of a level.  The prevailing
      theory is that there are too many objects on the level to create new
      ones.  After some other monsters are killed, spitting resumes.  Another
      phenomenon is stray Lost Souls _outside_ the playing area.  When a Pain
      Elemental explodes the resultant Lost Souls are spawned at a distance
      that can have them end up across nearby perimeter walls.

2G. How come that monster in DOOM ][ is invulnerable?
      When a (dead) monster is squashed under a door or crushing ceiling and
      then resurrected by an Arch-Vile, it becomes invulnerable and can only
      be killed by hitting nearby walls with rockets.


3A. What is the latest version of the DOOM engine?
      DOOM v1.9 and DOOM ][ v1.9 are the latest and final versions.  [see 1E]
      Compared to the previous v1.666's, sound and map bugs have been fixed.
      The map bugs in DOOM ][ v1.666 make multiplaying impossible on levels
      28 and 29.  Upgrading is recommended for various compatibility aspects.

3B. Is there going to be a DOOM III?
      No.  Id plans to work on QUAKE during 1995. [see 9B]

3C. Where can I get patches for DOOM ][?                             [see 1E]
