       DIEswap! Version 8.0 out of an ever expanding number of additions.
                         by darkstar (Lowercase "d"!)
                  (Version 1 was stupid and never released)

   I, the creator of these files take NO responsibility for anything that may
go wrong with this file, including:
 -Children becoming inspired by the graphic violence (especially the dog).
 -Vomiting induced by disgust at the gore and carnage.
 -File screw-ups because the user was an idiot and didn't know how to rename
  files properly.
 -Failure of the product to satisfy the expectations of the user.
 -Time wasted reading the unimportant garbage I put in simply to satisfy my
  own ego.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     I keep saying that each version I create is going to be the last one,
then I go ahead and revise it, and here I am now.  I don't know how many
versions of this thing I've distributed to other people, BBSs, etc, and I
don't know if this is going to be my last copy.  Anyway, here it is, enjoy,
and I would encourage you to upload it to your favorite BBS, or even your not
so favorite ones that seem to get a lot of members anyway, and generally
distribute it among the public.

     What's new:  I'm always updating this thing.  Sometimes the changes are
major, sometimes minor.  This ones not much different from my last few ones.
The last time I made any "major" changes was when I modified the "Bosses"
death scenes (previously it was only the "normal" enemies), and the again when
I added the "falling head" effect on the guard and the "Lost arm" and the
"Squirting Brain" (Yuck!) effects on the white officers.  This one has some
new effects like the latest "Fatality" sign (in place of the DeathCam), the
disappearing head effect on the Hitler "Ghosts", and my favorite: the shattered
rib cage on the Episode 6 Boss. (As if it wasn't bad enough before)

    If you have never heard of DIEswap despite it's apparently large number
of revisions and upgrades (if you believe what I tell you), I'm not surprised.
The first few versions (2 and 3), never got far, only to one BBS. (Though
version 2.5 was downloaded by three different people, so SOME people saw it
besides myself and a few friends).  Later, that BBS got rid of all Wolf
add-ons because some guy (and I know this guy) told the SySop that they were
illegal (they're not) because the VSWAP contains information for the whole
game (it doesn't), and with this, you could pirate all six episodes of the
game. You can't.  I tried just to be sure, and what he had told me didn't work.
You need the WOLF3D.EXE file for all six episodes before you can play them,
and no one "gives out" that file. Anyway, later revisions of version 3 were
released by special order on Prodigy and versions 4 and 5 were created when
my modem was down, so the only person who received those was a friend of
mine (who wishes to remain anonymous).  Version 6 started with an improvement
in the dog's death scene.  Another reason you may never have heard of DIEswap
is because I used to call it GOREWOLF.  I just changed the name.  If you know
of a BBS that has a file called WOLFGORE, GOREWOLF, WOLFGORY, or GORYWOLF,
look into it.  If some of the images look similar to ones in this file, then
send them this file if they don't already have it, and tell the SySop to get
rid of the old one.

     Once again, please, PLEASE, distribute this to your friends, local BBSs,
etc.  Just make sure that you distribute the whole package and don't alter
the files in any way


CONTENTS OF THIS PACKAGE:
README.1ST: Duh.
README.COM: Double duh.
VIEWER.EXE: Smooth File Viewer (c)1993 Todd S. Lehman
DIEINSTL.BAT: To import my graphics.
DEINSTAL.BAT: To remove my graphics.
WSWAP.DIE: My new graphics file, DIEswapR(egistered) Version 8.0
VIEWER.CFG: The 14 byte configuration file for VIEWER.EXE.
If any of these files are missing, contact the BBS where you got them from.


    Installation: Really simple
1. Unpack the archive, which you must have done if your reading this.
2. Type DIEINSTL, this will rename the files accordingly.
3. Enjoy!
4. If you find that my file sucks, you can go back to the original by typing
DEINSTAL.

I just copied this section from the last one I made:
    Troubleshooting: If any problems occur, look here.
Possibility 1.  You only have the first, or only the first three episodes.
                Solution: That shouldn't be a problem.  This file has been
                          tested and found to work the shareware version as
                          well as the registered.  You just won't be able to
                          see all the cool graphics I made that only appear
                          in the Registered version.  You WILL need to rename
                          WSWAP.DIE to VSWAP.WL1, because DIEINSTL won't handle
                          that (it tries to rename VSWAP.WL6).

Possibility 2.  Maybe there was a problem downloading it.
                Solution: Try downloading it again.  If that doesn't work
                          then maybe there was an error when the file was
                          uploaded.  In that case try a different source
                          to get it (like me!).  Then again, if there was
                          a problem downloading it, how could you be reading
                          this?

Possibility 3.  The version you have doesn't work with the version I have.
                Solution: I used Version 1.1.  If you have version problems
                          (I don't see what could cause this, though I've
                          never tried it on a higher version) tell me (see
                          address at end of info.)

Possibility 5.  Your system can't handle it.
                Solution: First make sure your system can handle Wolfenstein
                in the first place.  I used a 386sx with 2 Megs of RAM (yuck,
                I know) and it works fine.  If you can't handle the extra info,
                your computer sucks worse than mine and you don't deserve
                Wolfenstein.

Possibility 4.  I screwed up with the download, compression, getting the
                files straight, etc.
                Solution: Whoops!

Possibility 5.  The VSWAP files aren't named properly.
                Soultion: Did you forget to type DIEINSTL?  I made
                that file just for people who don't know how to
                rename files.  Either type it, or rename the files
                manually (which anyone with an adequate knowledge
                of DOS can do easily).

Possibility 6.  You're trying to run Wolfenstein from Windows.
                Soultion: Run it from DOS, like you're supposed to,
                dummy!

Possibility 7.  Your friends keep badgering you for a copy of this.
                Solution: Don't be a smeghead, give them a copy!  Give
                everyone you know who has the game (Registered or Shareware,
                it works with both) a copy of this and tell them to give
                their friends copies.  Upload it to your favorite BBSs,
                and even some you hate.  Let everyone who has the game know
                that this patch exists!  Just make sure you send the complete
                package of DIEswap, unaltered in any way, with all files in
                it.

Ever wonder where I get my ideas?

The Pepsi Machine: Don't know where it's gonna show up, I just picked a wall
                   randomly.  A friend of mine said he was going to try to put
                   in a Coke machine when he had some free time.  I wanted to
                   beat him to it, but I didn't have a Coke can to model it
                   after.  I did have a Pepsi can...

The Wanted (Actung) poster:  I was bored, I had plenty of time to copy B.J.s
                             face from the 1-up onto a wall panel.  Don't
                             know where the idea came from, though.

The Dog's Death: Kibbles 'n' Bits.

FATALITY:  Got bored.  Wanted a new twist.  I've gone through many variations
           of this one, just a boring looking "fatality" with nothing special
           to BJ WINS FATALITY, a bit bolder looking, but still not what I
           wanted.  I realized that if I'm gonna rip off Mortal Kombat like
           that, I should make it look a LITTLE like Mortal Kombat, hence the
           blocky, bloody, black (if you can SEE the black) letters.

The Happy Face (1-up):  Thought the game needed something cute and corny.

Level 4 Boss Death: Same as above.

Level 6 Boss death: I was feeling REALLY sick the day I got this idea.  I must
                    admit that the primary inspiration for this was Sub-Zero's
                    original Fatality in the first Mortal Kombat.  I couldn't
                    get everything I wanted due to file size limitations, that
                    is why there are no shadows and no blood on the floor for
                    the entire Boss.  I later added the shattered rib cage for
                    an even more gruesome effect.

The Ceiling Light and the "improved" Hanging Skeleton: I must give credit for
    these, they are not my design.  They're from Chris Binder's Jurassic Park
    add-on (Shareware version).  I put them in my VSWAP file just for the
    hell of it, and forgot to remove them from final production.  To find the
    Jurassic Park add-on, look for BBSs that specialize in Wolfenstein add-ons.
    I got mine from Nightstalkers:(1?) (401) 884-4208 (I think).  JP add-on
    is cool, the last guy is Barney.  If you're looking into more Barney stuff,
    check out Barneystein.  I may be uploading these files to BBSs, as soon as
    I can afford to call long distance again, look for them.

Why the hell do I waste my time doing this?
    If you're thinking, "gee, this guy must be a real loser with no life at
all if all he does all day is create stupid graphics like this", then you're
right.  I never have anything to do, so I create new graphics all day to pass
the time.  I really am hoping that this file will be distributed out to many
people, so they can know what kind of a sicko I am.  I started doing this when
I realized that it was no use just looking for files that other people made
that claimed to be "Really gory", or something like that, only to find out
that all the moron had done was use Wolfedit to add a bunch of red pixels all
over the place, rather than actually revise the death sequences.  I don't go
crazy with the red--well, actually, I do, but I do it in more logical places.
I don't put blood in the chalices, that makes no sense, and it gets boring.
I put the extra gallons of blood in when you blast the dog and it's flesh goes
flying.  I add the red when the guard's chest explodes, showering the ground
with multiple shades of crimson, not one color.  I am a true psycho, and I'll
probably end up in jail in a few years.  I want to offend people.  I want
Congress to have hearings on my graphics and threaten to enforce legislation
on me unless I clean up my act.  I want to tell them all to just kiss my ass!
I want to RULE THE WORLD!!!! HA HA HA HA HA...
er...um...uh...sorry about that, I got into one of those moods.

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

Did I mention that I would encourage you to distribute this file?

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

WHAT YOU MUST GIVE ME IN RETURN FOR THIS:
Nothing.  Zip.  Zero.  I want no money for this file (actually, I wouldn't
mind the cash, but I don't think it's legal).  I give my stuff out for free,
I don't know if it could be called FREEWARE, but there is to be NO CHARGE for
it.  If you had to pay money for this, demand your money back from the source
from where you got it, or call the police or something.  All I ask is that you
distribute this file to as many people and BBSs as you can.
IF YOU FEEL YOU MUST GIVE ME SOMETHING:
  Send a letter or E-mail me telling me what you think, see the address at the
end of this file.
  If you feel that you must spend some money, register DOOM, or Wolfenstein 3D
if you haven't already.  Give ID your money, they deserve it more than me.

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

SOURCES:
All I used was Wolfedit v2.1 by Bill Kirby.
I also have Mapedit v7.0 (Bill Kirby),
and WLFAUD v1.1 by Bill Neisius (did I spell that right?)
I may be getting a sound editor for all six episodes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

COMING SOON (maybe):
WOLFENSENATE, destroy them before they ban your games!
A friend of mine is getting a sound editor, so I may be able to make some cool
stuff to go along with it!
