Guest muff Posted October 13, 2003 Report Posted October 13, 2003 have you read the readme file that's with it?
Guest G_sleigh Posted October 13, 2003 Report Posted October 13, 2003 nah the zip doesnt have one.. and i cant figure it out.. i have to take the battery of the phone to exit it! very annoying?!?! anyone any ideas?
Guest muff Posted October 13, 2003 Report Posted October 13, 2003 please do a search on this forum there are plenty of times that this has been asked before
Guest G_sleigh Posted October 13, 2003 Report Posted October 13, 2003 well i just done a search for DOOM and checked everyone of the questions i could find.. and NONE of them seem to be addressing the problem i am having, there all about installing.... so i will ask again? anyone?
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted October 13, 2003 Report Posted October 13, 2003 Where did you get Doom from? just checking it's not from one of the dodgy sites.
Guest davy Posted October 13, 2003 Report Posted October 13, 2003 Try the following thread http://smartphone.modaco.com/viewtopic.php...ghlight=doomspv There is a .cab mentioned there for installing Doom automatically but I have not tried it myself. Failing that try the download of Doom from www.Monolithix.org then read my post in the above thread. davy.
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted October 14, 2003 Report Posted October 14, 2003 DO NOT try the cab, it was posted without credit to the author and it's flawed, the cab only installs the game to the phone not the storage card. The place to download DOOM from is www.monolithix.org Unfortunately the author MBoden's own site is down ;)
Guest muff Posted October 14, 2003 Report Posted October 14, 2003 ganered from various posts in the group after doing a search Make sure you have a folder called DoomSPV (note no space between Doom and SPV) on your storage card this folder should contain the Doom.exe file and another folder called DoomSPV. Inside this second folder should be the Doom1.wad file. Now create a shortcut to the EXE, or run using a tool like Smartexplorer Keys ---- 1. change weapon left 2. change weapon right 3. goto game menu/cancel * fire weapon/punch # (and answering y when quitting) action button=ok in menu's Be warned it takes a while to load. Press 4 to get to the menu to quit. if you use the zip from Mono's site, then it should work - install to the SD card, not the phone if it doesn't (and just drops out) then make sure all unneeded apps are closed so there is as much memory free as possible if it still doesn't work then maybe something is screwy with the phone? and it may need a hard-reset [obviously this is a last resort as you will lose all your IPSM settings etc]
Guest G_sleigh Posted October 14, 2003 Report Posted October 14, 2003 hey i think it was a serious memory problem.. i started cleaning it up and restarting the phone.. and now it allows me to go threw the options and play the game.. imrpessivly fast as well :) really hard controls on the SPV E100 though
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted October 14, 2003 Report Posted October 14, 2003 But with the E100 better screen (compared to the SPV) the game is quite playable :)
Guest ranzz Posted October 26, 2003 Report Posted October 26, 2003 I don't find this game playable AT ALL, there aren't any of the important keys like strifing and.. JUMPING! I'm certain you cannot advance in the game too much without jumping, not to mention looking to the sides, looking up, running, crawling, there'll just be some passage you can't go through cause you can't jump over it like.. 20 minutes in the game. Wasted space on the phone. unplayable.

Yep sorry m8 but as muff said Doom di not have jump, crawl etc if you can see some place you want to go you need to find the secret door etc that opens a way into it :)
Guest ranzz Posted October 27, 2003 Report Posted October 27, 2003 Well the original Doom did have jump / crawl / strife / look to sides and up, run and more and more, but if they removed THE NEED for all of those in the porting then ok, I'm sorry for my mistake, it's just that I played for a few seconds and it seemed like it's not really possible to actually get somewhere. And besides, the best part about Doom is the multiplayer, man we've played it for hours on the old 10mbit Coax connection networks with the neighbours :) :(
