On Internet... there's some rumor about a 'Gold Virus' hidden deep in the code for the un-registered copy of Doom ][. Lots of people warning against using the unreleased copy of Doom ][..... Wowch!

does doom ][ have a virus?

when i kill that face on level 30, it gives me the characters... hit space and they go through their dying ritual then goes on to the next one.

I heard about that virus too... I guess F-Prot can detect it, but you can't clean it yet unless you delete the file(s) infected, or something along those lines.

I have been playing with the Doom2.wad to find any other info. I de-compiled the wad and found some more evidence of a virus in the PIR8 version. NOT the real version when it comes out. THe following source was pieced together: Call GetDate } GetDate { GetSysDate(xy$) x = 10< If xy$ = "10-10-94" or "10-x-94" then DelDrive; } <some Code snipped> DelDrive } rmDir$(CurDir%) FormatD(CurDrv!) printf("Dooms Day!"); end; } Ack! I would delete your Pir8 copys of doom if I were you!! For more info I have on the virus feel free to E-Mail me. p.s. It looks as if iD didnt put it in. So buy those REAL Doom 2's! ************************************************************* * Brian brianf@halcyon.com Munchkin on IRC * *************************************************************

A KoV URGENT NOTICE!! Dangerous time bomb has been found in many copies of Doom 2! Decompiling DOOM2.WAD reveals a hidden subroutine to format your hard drive if you run Doom 2 after October 10, 1994! This is not a joke! All Doom 2 players face a serious risk! Yes it's true. After finding a post on alt.games.doom with a warning about a "virus" in Doom 2, I decided to test the author's hypothesis about a built-in trojan. (A copy of that post has been included with this release. It is called DM2VIRUS.TXT) Onslaught and I came up with a plan to find out if this was true. He renamed his FORMAT.COM to something else and set the date on his computer to 10-11-94. Then he tried to run Doom 2. As I suspected, it dropped him back to DOS after giving him an error "file missing." We can only assume that the "missing file" was FORMAT.COM. While this is a dangerous "virus" of sorts, it is not the end of the world. Simply rename your FORMAT.COM to something else, and nothing will happen to you. After trying to find FORMAT.COM for a second time, however, Doom 2 will simply abort the formatting attempt and proceed to delete the contents of your Doom 2 directory. This second aspect of the virus can be overcome by using a program like the Norton Utilities to place Deletion Protection on the directory. This has all been verified by both myself and Onslaught, before I decided to release this warning. If you think that this is some kind of a hoax, try reproducing the experiment Onslaught and I set up. You will most likely get the same error "file missing." And if you don't get some kind of deletion protection for your Doom 2 directory, you'll find out that it's missing soon after. Since we're not sure which groups' releases of Doom 2 contain this trojan, we can only advise you to take extra care when the month of October rolls around. For more information, write to the author of the enclosed post, DM2VIRUS.TXT. Don't forget to read NEWS0925.KOV The following BBS's are either drop points for KoV releases or actual "official" distribution sites (meaning the sysops actually take the time to separate KoV files from the normal uploads and put them in their own area).

ATTENTION !!! The message that there is a Virus in D00M ][ is true !!!! I found an abnormal TSR installed while playing DOOM ][. it takes about 2K of memory and runs a little check programm that searches especially for User and systemfiles of certain BBS Programms. I found it again after running my version of PCBoard (Hey, call me ! Shadowrunners Inn !) and it turned out to be infected, because the same TSR appeared. Seems like the programmer wanted to make sum trouble to the scene ... Way to remove it : Use F-Prot , use heuristics scan ... and ... pray ... Drizzt / PTG / EXT Greets to : Dr. Insanity [I'll call u soon ... hehe, time to get in touch ....] Grinder [Yeppa ... they'll arrive soon !] Werner&Tardy [hmr, hmr ... beavis says : too much lines suxxxxx :)] Indigital [Get them NOWWWWWWWWW !!!!!] Dodger [Do u like Bobby Brown ?

Why The Doom 2 Virus Is Fake The Doom 2 Virus IS A Fake! My Stupid Friend Set His Date To Every Day In October, 1994 And Ran Doom 2. NOTHING HAPPENED! Wow! Also, In The Three Files That Told About It, One Said It Was A Virus, Another Said It Was A TSR And The Last Said It Was A Set Of Commands! Pirate Community, Worry Not If You Have Doom 2! Have A Nice Day.

Why CD-ROM for a 15-meg game? Because a CD costs five bucks to manufacture. Disks cost more.

#169402 49 Tue Oct 4 08:09:47 1994 Elisabeth Perrin @ Saltlick Of Desire, Seattle, USA/WA/KING
A CD-ROM costs much less than 5 bucks to manufacture. Especially in quantity.

Yeah, doom was designed by three guys in Mesquite, Tx.
#169405 49 Wed Oct 5 02:56:52 1994 John @ Saltlick Of Desire, Seattle, USA/WA/KING
Can WAD files include that fancy script language? Isn't it funny how it goes from something like BASIC at the beginning to something like C at the end?
#170019 49 Wed Oct 5 16:38:05 1994 Rubik's Cube [redrum] @ MixEd ReaLity, MerpVille
A CD costs approximately 10 cents to manufacture in large quantities. The information on the CD is obviously worth much more than 10 cents. (or at least we hope so)

I hear that Microsoft is working on a Windows version of Doom to be released with Windows '95. That alone is worth the price of the gui. :)
#170585 49 Fri Oct 7 21:13:31 1994 johnboy @ Outsider's, Takoma Park, MD, US/MD/MONTGOMERY
Doom I and II god mode code: IDDQD, Weapons code: IDKFA, to expand map aand locate enemies hit tab to see the map, enter IDOT twice, youll see the map expand. All of these codes are to be entered while playing the game.

I doubt Microsoft is working on it. I know ID is, though.

#170586 49 Sun Oct 9 10:31:24 1994 Cave Bear @ Cave Bear's Laire, Seattle, USA/WA/KING
Thanks johnboy. I found it, tried it and didn't like it. I'm glad it's toggable so that I can turn it off. Doom II is a lot of fun. Since the doom engine on II is similar to the registered Doom1, anyone know if generic wads can be played or run?
#170587 49 Sun Oct 9 12:06:41 1994 Alpha Wolf @ The Raft, Seattle, WA, US
or iddt whilst looking on the map.... :) do it again and you see all of the objects. wow.
#170737 49 Sun Oct 9 21:12:33 1994 Cave Bear @ Cave Bear's Laire, Seattle, USA/WA/KING
Geez, that Doom2 is a tough one. I'm stuck at level 8: Tricks and Traps. I've cleared everything out and even picked up the BFG6000 but I can't finish the level because the exit platforms that go at a 90 degree turn drop the moment you step on them leaving you in the ooze to fry each time. I got as far as the exit door but waiting for it to open only lets you sink to your death anyway. Any hints anyone?
#170738 49 Sun Oct 9 21:52:25 1994 John @ Saltlick Of Desire, Seattle, USA/WA/KING

Use God mode? That's all I can figger...I only got to level 3 or so, on someone else's 'puter, with god mode on, punching everything. Not efficient, but fun watching things reduced to jelly with a single punch! ;}

better use the cheat codes... at least the map anyway.. that is the best way to play.... invincible!
#171329 49 Mon Oct 10 16:56:53 1994 ShadowStalker @ HeLL, Pullman, US/WA/Whitman
idbehold is a great little code for both doom I and ][ .. lets you toggle liteamp, and the map (map being like you picked up a map device, areas where you still haven't been are shown in gray.. much more helpful in my opinion than iddt...)
#171595 49 Thu Oct 13 02:54:40 1994 [BiTCH] Wolfgang [EPiC] @ Cave Bear's Laire, Seattle, USA/WA/KING
Better grfx, faster screen mapping, better monsters... to the undoomeducated eye, not a hell of a lot. But it's worth getting.

#171897 49 Fri Oct 14 03:09:54 1994 [BiTCH] Wolfgang [EPiC] @ Cave Bear's Laire, Seattle, USA/WA/KING
He may have meant "Low Hit-Point", meaning either very easy or very hard to kill. I have a list of all the secrets, their coordinates and pixel mapping codes, of Doom ][ is anyone is interested. And of course, ya'll know to load setup.exe and hit F1 at the main menu to warp to any level, turn off/on monsters, and regeneration options.

#172114 49 Sat Oct 15 09:11:08 1994 Keric @ Cave Bear's Laire, Seattle, USA/WA/KING
Does Doom ][ support the old WAD files? There's a shareware CD out that has over 350 WAD files on it for only $19.95. But will they work with the new Doom?

I heard an interview with some of the id guys on NPR last week. They said there will never be a Doom 3. There will be a Doom movie, though. Ids new game will be called Quake. I might go out an buy Doom 2 today. Can't decide.
#172439 49 Sun Oct 16 04:05:59 1994 [BiTCH] Wolfgang [EPiC] @ Cave Bear's Laire, Seattle, USA/WA/KING
Keric -- Not at this point in time, but people are working on patches and ways to use the Doom I's .WAD files with Doom ][. I have no doubt it's possible.

Whew... 350 WAD files for $20!!!! That's almost as good as 1500 MODs and 600 MIDIs for $15!

#172744 49 Mon Oct 17 04:32:32 1994 John @ Saltlick Of Desire, Seattle, USA/WA/KING
In Doom II, those skeletons shoot some fireballs that move straight, but some that home in on you. Using IDDT, IDDT, you can track these fireballs as they home in on you! If you're good, you can keep one fireball in pursuit, while another joins it. Fun, fun, fun.
