Nonono, I don't think that's a good idea. First of all, they can't use
the shareware copies. This is for Registered Doom (or Doom 2), not the
shareware. Secondly, many people have already upgraded, and this would
mean they would have to go back and try to find one of the copies of an
earlier version.
Besides, it's a great way to "encourage" people to upgrade. And, one
other thing, the version really shouldn't make a difference... the engine
has been 95% unchanged since 1.666. Anything after that should function
identically.

Can anyone fill me in if there is a way to edit the amount of damage the
weapons do in doom (pistol, shotgun and rocket launcher). I have Dehacked,
but I cannot see anything to do with damage relating to the non missile weapons
.Also the changing the damage done by the rocket seems to have no effect.Anyone
know a way to fix that.
Thanks
Troy

Not only that, some of the doom cd's were shipped with version 1.7,
or 1.7a

Is this discussion regarding the TNT project? We don't care what engine we
use. We only care about which wad is present: Doom.wad or Doom2.wad
If you're talking about something else, which you probably are because this
isn't on the wad-team mailing list, you can feel free to ignore me. :)

The non-projectile weapons can't be altered... the damage for bullets
from the pistol and shotgun are calculated somewhere deep within the Doom
exe file, and it's not stored in a nice table somewhere like the rest of
the information is. The same pretty much goes for the rockets, but the
actual "unchangable" part is the rocket's area effect, from the
explosion. You can still make a rocket more/less deadly by modifying the
Missile Damage field, but the blast effect isn't changable (once again,
it's calculated somewhere in the exe and not stored anywhere for easy
editing).
