<h2>ALREADY KNOW HOW TO PLAY DOOM WADs?</h2>
<hr />
<br />
<p>
<a href="file/THATCHER.wad">THATCHER.wad</a> is a
Boom-compatible pwad for <i>DOOM II</i>, and you can download
it <a href="file/THATCHER.wad">here</a> (v1.2).<br /><br />
Tested on PRBoom*, DSDA-Doom, ZDoom and GZDoom.<br /><br />
(PRBoom players please note - this wad is best enjoyed with
<a
href="https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/106866-prboom-261um-aug-16-2021/"
>PrBoom+ 2.6.1</a
>, as I've used a UMAPINFO lump to add some extra flavour to
the game.)

<h2>EVERYONE ELSE - BEFORE YOU BEGIN!</h2>
<hr />
<br />
<p>
<b>THATCHER'S TECHBASE</b> is a game mod that uses the classic
video game <i>DOOM 2 (1994)</i> as a base. As such, a copy of
the file 'DOOM2.wad' is required in order to play.
<br /><br />
Legally, I am not allowed to give you that file. I don't want
to get sued - Bethesda has access to Robert Trump's $66.6
million legal team, and 3D: Doom Daddy Digital does not!
<br /><br />
If you own a copy of Doom 2 for MS-DOS, Windows, Mac OS, Sega
Saturn, Game Boy Advance, Tapwave Zodiac, N-Gage, Android,
iOS, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X,
Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 or
PlayStation 5, then you legally have a license for the file
'doom2.wad' - but you'll need to find a copy of it yourself.
Consider it part of the gameplay experience!
<br /><br />
If you cannot find DOOM2.wad anywhere in the
<a href="https://archive.org/details/2020_03_22_DOOM"
>archives of the internet</a
>, then you can always buy DOOM 2 again on
<a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/2300/DOOM_II/"
>Steam</a
>,
<a
href="https://www.gog.com/game/doom_ii_final_doom?gclsrc=aw.ds&&gclid=Cj0KCQjw2tCGBhCLARIsABJGmZ50epeIFI3DdvrlMztVqyJzL8lSKJVlhaRxOGP9K_X1l1aTkqJ-gfYaAtLgEALw_wcB"
>GOG.com</a
>
or
<a
href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/p/doom-ii-classic/9plt62lrf9v7?activetab=pivot:overviewtab"
>the Microsoft Store</a
>
- these versions of the game contain the file you'll need. Got
Microsoft Game Pass? You could 'borrow' the file from its
installation directory! Is that legal? I'm not sure!
<br /><br />
<a href="file/THATCHER.wad"
><img src="images/THATCHERWAD.png" class="wad-pic"
/></a>
<a href="file/THATCHER.wad">THATCHER.wad</a>, the other file
you'll need, is completely free to download! You can get it by
clicking on the link or icon on this page. <br /><br />
Once you have acquired a copy of DOOM2.wad and a copy of
THATCHER.wad, think carefully about what operating system you
use and proceed to the appropriate next step...

<h3>AN OLD-SCHOOL EXPERIENCE?</h3>
<br />
Want to play <b>THATCHER'S TECHBASE</b> like it's 1994, and have
it run on almost any computer¹? Happy to play with a keyboard
and mouse? <br /><br />
I recommend downloading <a href="file/THATCHER.zip">this</a>.
Once you've downloaded THATCHER.ZIP, extract it to a folder and
open it up. Then add DOOM2.wad and THATCHER.wad to the folder...
<br /><br /><br /><br />
<img src="images/windows-step1.png" style="width: 90%" />
<br /><br /><br /><br />
And double-click on THATCHER.bat in the same folder to run the
game! Easy!
<br /><br />
<img src="images/windows-step2.png" style="width: 80%" />
<br /><br /><br /><br />
❗❗❗ Stuck on the splash screen? Try hitting the
<code>ESC</code> key! <br /><br />
<img src="images/esc-screen.png" />
<br /><br /><br /><br />
Now you're all good to go! Enjoy <b>THATCHER'S TECHBASE</b>, and
have fun! <br /><br />

<h3>NEW-AGE ACTION! (FOR WINDOWS XP USERS AND ABOVE)</h3>
<hr />
<br />
Lucky enough to own a computer or laptop that can run Windows XP
(or above) and want a more user-friendly port of DOOM? You can
grab <a href="https://zdoom.org/downloads">GZDoom</a> or
<a href="https://zdoom.org/downloads">ZDoom</a>, a source port
that supports the latest mods and wads and lets you use
<b>your very own gamepad</b>! <br /><br />
Once you've downloaded G/ZDoom, extract the folder and add your
DOOM2.wad and THATCHER.wad files to the directory, just as
above, and then double-click THATCHER.wad (or drag it onto
gzdoom.exe) to play! Have fun!
<br /><br />
<img

style="
float: right;
width: 30%;
margin-left: 5%;
margin-bottom: 4%;
"
/>
<b>BEWARE!</b> By default, GZDoom enables features like texture
filtering, fully-3D aiming and a scaled HUD - things that
weren't a part of the original DOOM experience. If you wanna
play like that, it's no problem! But do be aware that you may
need to
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JC8fnz_L3k"
>some tinkering</a
>
with your new GZDoom installation to make it nice and crispy.

<h2>Mac OS, OS X</h2>
<hr />
<br />
<p>
If you'd like to play <b>THATCHER' TECHBASE</b> on OS X,
download <a href="https://zdoom.org/downloads">GZDoom</a>!
<br /><br />
(For people on <i>really</i> old versions of OS X, you can
still play the game using
<a href="https://zdoom.org/downloads">ZDoom</a> - it's
available on the same webpage!) <br /><br />
Once you've downloaded and installed G/ZDoom, you'll probably
get a message that looks like this:
<br /><br />
<img src="images/osx-step1.png" />
<br /><br />
To fix this, open up your
<i>Library -> Application Support</i> folder in OS X:
<br /><br />
<img src="images/osx-step2.png" />
<br /><br />
Open up the <i>gzdoom</i> folder* inside
<i>Application Support</i>, and then drag your
<b>DOOM2.WAD</b> file into the folder: <br /><br />
<img src="images/osx-step3.png" />
<br /><br />
Almost there! Now that you're ready to go, just locate
<a href="file/THATCHER.WAD">THATCHER.WAD</a> and double-click
it to run <b>THATCHER'S TECHBASE</b>! <br /><br />
<img src="images/osx-step4.png" />
<br /><br />
Have fun!
<br /><br />
* Can't find a 'GZDoom' folder in Application Support? If you
create it yourself and put DOOM2.WAD in there, GZDoom should
be able to find it.

<h2>LINUX</h2>
<hr />
<p>
<br />
Seriously?
<br /><br />
If you'd like to play <b>THATCHER'S TECHBASE</b> on Linux, you
can install
<a href="http://prboom.sourceforge.net/linux.html"
>PRBoom for Linux and UNIX Systems</a
>,
<a href="https://zdoom.org/downloads">GZDoom for Ubuntu</a>,
or compile it directly from
<a
href="https://github.com/coelckers/gzdoom/archive/g4.6.0.zip"
>the source code</a
>. <br /><br />
</p>
<h3>PRBoom</h3>
To run <b>THATCHER'S TECHBASE</b> with PRBoom, use the following
command: <br /><br />
<code>prboom -iwad DOOM2.wad -file THATCHER.wad</code>
<br /><br />
<h3>GZDoom</h3>
For GZDoom, the OS X instructions should apply... but I don't
really know! If you are using Linux, you probably know about
computers than I do and do not need my help!

<h2>ANDROID DEVICES</h2>
<hr />
<br />
<p>
The easiest way to play THATCHER'S TECHBASE on an Android
phone or tablet is by getting
<a
href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.opentouchgaming.deltatouch&hl=en&gl=US"
>Delta Touch</a
>
from the Google Play Store. It's £/$2.49, but well worth the
investment. You'll be supporting a great app, a great
developer, and will gain the ability to play countless Doom
mods and wads from the past 28 years. <br /><br />
Once installed on your device, all you need to do is grab your
copy of the Doom2.wad and stick it in the "OpenTouch/Delta"
folder on your device's storage. Your copy of
<a href="file/THATCHER.wad">THATCHER.WAD</a> goes in the
"OpenTouch/Delta/Mods" folder. <br /><br />
Once you've done that, open Delta Touch on your Android device
and click on "DOOM2.WAD". Press the keyboard icon in the
bottom-right corner of the screen, choose the list icon, and
select THATCHER.WAD - from now on, clicking on Doom2.wad will
launch THATCHER'S TECHBASE!

and stick <a href="file/THATCHER.wad">THATCHER.WAD</a> in the
installation folder on your Nintendo 3DS's SD card! Boot up
PRBoom-3DS, choose <i>THATCHER.wad</i>, and you're good to go!
<br /><br />
You'll need doom2.wad, too, of course.

<h2>EVERYTHING ELSE</h2>
<hr />
<p>
One of the coolest things about Doom is that it can run on
anything.<br /><br />
THATCHER'S TECHBASE can't run on anything.<br /><br />
I did a pretty crappy job of making it - but it can run on a
lot of things. As a Boom-compatible Doom WAD, Thatcher's
Techbase should be runnable on any console that has
Boom-compatible source port, such as the Wii U, Nintendo DS,
PlayStation Portable or PlayStation Vita. Just stick "(device)
prboom port" into Google and you may be pleasantly
surprised!<br /><br />
Please let me know if you get the game running on anything
interesting, or are having issues getting it working. I'm
happy to help.
