------------------------------------------------------------

- Setup

Using the installer simply just select your Doom 3 folder and click next
Example "C:\Program files\Doom 3"

After the install has finished you'll have the option to place a shortcut to the "DoomReborn.exe" on your desktop

- Launching the Mod

Brent&Jonny have made many code fixes and changes that will only work with the new DoomReborn.exe
and gamex86.dll

You should always use the DoomReborn.exe found in the Doom 3 folder

Example "C:\Program Files\Doom 3\"

DO NOT USE THE DOOM3.exe

- Saves

To use saves you will need to use the provided patch, It will replace Brent's DoomReborn.exe & Gamex86.dll
With Jonny's.
Jonny is redoing some of Brent's earlier work and this is still work in progress, so for now this is a optional extra

- Known Issues When Using The Saves Patch

Weapons don't carry over after completing a level

Stats screen music doesn't play

Doom 1 episode 2's stats screen is episode 1's screen

Doom 2's stat's screen is Doom 1's episode 1 screen

Music slider doesn't exist

Stat's screen counters don't calculate correctly

(If you's find other issues please report them to us)

- What's New:

New Levels E2M5, Map09, E1M4b
(To get to E1M4b you have to find the easter egg in E1M3 or cheat by entering "Map e1m4b" in the command console)
(To get to E1M8b you have to find the easter egg in E1M7 or cheat by entering "Map e1m8b" in the command console)

I've (>>GameHacKeR<<) added new textures for the new levels and have removed alot of unused textures and old duplicates, i've also created parallax maps for various other textures and duplicated a couple of reinchards for
other wall textures where they can be used, I've also scaled up various models to make them more noticeable.

Alot of performance improvements have been made in many areas but futher improvements will be made in future releases

Jonny has fixed saves for this release but in this early stage of development you can only use quick saves (F5 quick save | F9 quick load)
Jonny has also been redoing alot of the code and has also added the red flash for when you get hurt but this is also still work in progress

Kept some changes from Dafama's mod for Doom Reborn Pre Beta Version 1.5 I don't know who I need to credit for the Doom 1+2 sound pack but
I do need to open the ".sndshd" sound files I suspect the sample rate is off because there is reported errors in the command console and the sound for
picking up armor shards doesn't work at the moment.

you can toggle between dafama's shader and WolfenTexure pack shader by pressing "R" at any time.

I've done alot of work to earlier levels, i'm not going to list all of them here, but the changes consist of various
light, texture, structure, performance, Changes.

E1M5 had a couple of structure changes and I (>>GameHacKeR<<) simulated the light goggles, most other levels had a couple of light&performance improvements and various texture changes.

There's probably even more things i've forgotten to include.

New original Doom updated midi's from Koitsu7 for E1M9 & E2M1

Updated normal and specular maps on a couple of textures by Robert Mccallister (aka R.G.M)

Knockback&Blob when being hit removed when using Jonny's .exe&.dll (Saves patch)

- Enabling Parallax Occlusion Mapping

I've disabled Parallax Occlusion Mapping by default
To enable it again open the command console by pressing left "ctrl" left "alt" and "`" at the same time and type
"image_usecompression 0" and then press enter.
Then type "vid_restart" and then press enter.
The screen will go black then come back grey for a few seconds while it reloads, don't worry that's normal.

After the screen reloads (takes longer if you make the change mid level) that's you all done, press escape or "`"
to close the command line console.

To disable Parallax Occlusion Mapping again follow this same process except use this command instead "image_usecompression 1"
