Alien TC Install with Doom2

[Grimlock]

I have read and read and read the posts about Aliens TC and how to install it. But It still wont work. What the heck am i doing wrong?

The setup I have now is D:\doom2 has all the ATC wads and Doom2 files in it. Then I have D:\Doomsday with all the jDoom info in it. Does someone have a quick install for dummies on how i get everything working? I've tried Kickstart with no luck.

Would appreciate any help.

Using the doom2atc.zip
from here (http://www.sonic.net/cgi-bin/mortlgrn/source/download2/themes/aliens?zip1=doom2atc.zip&text=doom2atc.txt&desc=Aliens(2M))

and doom2 v1.666 (I don't think it will work with v1.9) and the converted ATC2SF.WAD from the install2.bat procedure. That does need to be done; with Doomsday it's starting on the wrong map, one would have to add -warp11 to command line of Kickstart which works.

Furthur playing: it looks like Doomsday needs deds for this doom2 TC just like AliensTC for Doom1.
A lot of weird stuff with decorations and texture offsets.
Maybe Slide could incorporate it somehow in the pk3.

Furthur it seems to work with the doom2 v1.9.
I'm gonna try to edit the Doom1 version's deds map and music info to see if that can work.

Though now, that can all be done pretty easilly under Dday. Prehaps Slide will make a Doom2 version in his update?

EDIT: Info repeat! That'll teach me to leave my comp for a while in the middle of writing a post. heh.

To Vermil: Huh??? *confused*

I was replying to your post before you edited it and basically added what I wrote above, to it. heh.

Sorry, I've editted that one multiple times so far.

I don't think editting the deds is gonna work.

I have not been able to get Aliens-TC for Doom2 to work right without using the dehacked patchreader option. The problem is, with the Dehacked patch, you can't replace the music or add finales with the deh file. Also, the end level did not work correctly in that it did not end after you killed the queen. This has been fixed. Also, I could not generate a DED file from the Aliens for Doom2 DEH file. That is why I concentrated on Doom1.

Better off using the pk3 for doom1.
Make sure you read the thread carefully, Grimlock.
