ADDING NEW SHAREWARE WAD FILE

    To play shareware wad files off the net, you first need to add the
    registered wad files for doom and/or doom2.

    To add a new wad file:

    1)  cp new.wad doomarena/wads/new.wad
                    OR
        cp new.wad doomarena/wads/subdir/new.wad

    2)  doomarena/bin/wadinfo

    3)  doomarna/server/dasadmin UpdateWadList

    This will automatically update all the client's wad menus.


CONTRIB WAD FILES

    When DoomArena users invoke the "Submit Wad" feature, their new wad
    file is copied into doomarena/wads/contrib.  There is an upper limit
    on the number of files in the contrib directory, therefore it is
    necessary to clean out contrib from time to time.  To do this,
    simply move the .wad and .info files from contrib into the parent
    directory or a different subdirectory.  Then run the
    "dasadmin UpdateWadList" command.  The wadinfo command is only
    necessary if there is a .wad file without a .info file to go
    with it.


GAME LOGGING

    DoomArena keeps a log of all multiplayer games in the file
    doomarena/server/gamelog.  This log can be used to compute
    various statistics pertaining to DOOM.  There are no specific
    scripts for computing statistics included with DoomArena.
    If you come up with any interesting statistical scripts,
    feel free to send them to doomarena-bugs@activesw.com.

    To disable logging, change the gamelog file to be read-only:
        chmod 444 doomarena/server/gamelog


ADDING NEW SOUNDS

    Adding new sounds is done as follows:

    1)  cp newsound.au doomarena/audio/<subdir>/newsound.au

        "subdir" is one of doom, enter, exit, join, leave, and start.
        There directories correspond to categories of sounds used by
        DoomArena.  For example, when a new DOOM game is stared, a sound
        is selected randomly from the "start" directory.

    2)  cd doomarena ; ./arenacache

        When people re-run the DoomArena client, they will pick up the new
        sounds.  The sounds will not take effect until the DoomArena
        client is re-run.  However, it is possible to force all the
        DoomArena clients to re-run.  This is NOT recommended, because
        any DOOM games currently in progress will be killed!  This tends
        to piss people off.

        To force the DoomArena clients to be re-run:
            doomarena/server/dasadmin RerunClients


EDITING THE TCL/TK SCRIPTS

    Bug fixes and feature additions can be made to the DoomArena
    installation, and all the DoomArena clients will pick up the
    changes when they are re-run.

    1)  Edit some files in doomarena/src/script
    2)  cd dooamrena ; ./arenacache

    The DoomArena clients will pick up the modifications when they
    are re-run.
