NORMAL DOOM2 INSTALLATION
=========================

(update by Fanatic)

Batman DOOM TC requires DOOM2 version 1.9.

If you are playing the original DOOM2.EXE (i.e. not Legacy 
or ZDOOM, etc.), you will need to merge missing sprites 
and flats to play.

So if you are playing what is referred to as "vanilla DOOM2", 
run VANILLA.BAT in the C:\DOOM2 directory. This will set 
everything up for you.

Once this is complete, run it as such:

batman -file batman.wad 

If you are using a source port, such as Legacy, see below
for instructions.

Source Port Usage
=================

(update by Fanatic)

Most source ports can load DEH files using the -file parameter.

Refer to your source ports documentation on how to load 
dehacked files (some use -deh <filename>.deh).

This has been successfully tested with Legacy version 1.25, available here:

ftp://ftp.frag.com/frag/doomlegacy/LEGACY.ZIP 

I haven't had any luck running it with Legacy version 1.28, it 
crashes as soon as you bring up a menu. I had to downgrade to 1.25.

Run it as such for Legacy:

doom3 -file batman.wad batman.deh

I haven't been able to get it to work with ZDOOM or DOS DOOM, as it
won't use the DeHackEd file for some reason, even tho it loads it.

(original install notes below)

If your using a source port the files "dehacked.exe" and "deusf.exe"
are unnecessary. You can delete them.

Installing and playing batman doom is relatively easy if you have
prefer a source port that has dehacked support. Source ports such
Legacy and boom automatically load dehacked(.deh) files and add 
missing sprites and flats. Just load the batman wad file just 
like any other wad file and the deh file.

I "spot checked" this total conversion with several ports. It worked
with Legacy and boom. It does not work with Zdoom. I do not know why.
I have not tried it with Dosdoom, MBF, or any other source port.
If you want to run through it real quick to check with your source port
try warping to map15. If you run inside the funhouse it shouldn't bomb
out when you get to the 3 doors part. This is where Zdoom bombs.
