Attack is identical to the final version, but it uses the teleport fog sprites as a placeholder for the fire, and plays BFG firing sounds.The final version has its own INTERPIC graphic for intermissions. The intermission screen now uses the TITLEPIC as the backdrop, but darkens it.

As the code for sliding doors is still present, you'll still need GDOOR.WAD linked above to run levels. Id's second shareware beta, released on July 8, 1994. Uses final sprites, but behavior is identical to a Cacodemon.The code for these doors was later altered for Strife's animated doors. The code for these doors is actually still present in the released source code, but the action to activate them has been commented out. The animations are also very choppy and unconvincing, a result of only using four frames. These doors are far from perfect, since the blocking flag doesn't block hitscans or projectiles, meaning they pass through the doors like they're not even there. This action's reliance on these animated textures is why a separate WAD must be loaded to play this beta, and is likely why this line action has been restricted to Doom II. Activating the door a second time will play the animation back in reverse and reset the blocking flag. When the animation is complete, the blocking flag is unset from the line. To work around this limitation, a door created with this action isn't a sector at all: the line's front side middle texture animates through GDOORF1-4 when activated, while the back animates GDOORB1-4. Crashes the game when killed, due to using a sprite frame not present in the final version.ġ24 can be used to create a horizontally sliding door! Anyone familiar with Doom's renderer knows that a sector can only change vertically, the result of using a static BSP tree defined in the NODES lump for each map.Does not fire plasma, instead it has a chaingun! This chaingun fires with the same sound as the player's, unlike the Heavy Weapon Dude and Spider Mastermind.The level names on the automap are still from Doom.Doom filenames are used for music and the intermission level names.The game is already set up to load levels from MAPxx lumps like the final version. Changing the episode only affects the sky, music, and map names used.The episode selection and 'Read This!' menus are still present.

This will load the resources from DOOM.WAD, then reload those from DOOM2.WAD, replacing any shared between games and fixing sprite and flat graphic loading. These resources are in the registered DOOM.WAD, however, so the following command line can be used to load the game without modifying anything: However, certain required resources are not present in the final WAD. Simply having DOOM2.WAD in the same directory as a beta executable is enough to load it, since like the final version they give it priority over the registered or shareware version of Doom.
