Try the BARN3D2A.ZIP on SHUVVA::DKB0:[DOOM.GRAPHICS]. It's about the
best Barney patch I've seen...

And it's got all the nasty stuff to do the patching...

     re: -.1

     Geoff, I installed BARN3D2A and after doing many things
     it said, New Sound, Graphics, etc. were successfully
     installed.  However, when I ran Doom, all the mutant
     soldiers, imps, etc., were all the same.  I thought all the
     "baddies" were going to be Barneys.

     When I viewed some of the GIF files that the Install
     created in that new directory, it seemed to be just one
     creature in different positions.  Does this Barney program
     just convert one main boss to a Barney, or are all the
     "baddies" supposed to be Barneys?

     Thanks, Mike.

RE: -.1

Nope, only the Hell Baron gets changed to a Barney, everything else
stays the same. Also, if you type 'iddqd' to get God Mode, your
face will turn into Barney's (not *your* face, the one at the 
bottom of the screen).

Geoff

    hey Mike, heard the latest Barney sing-along yet?
    
    I hate you  You hate me
    I shot Barney happily
    With a great big bang Barney hit the floor
    No more purple dinosaur!
    
    ...and by the way, who is this guy Chip Bach I see all over this file,
    couldn't be *the* Chip Bach that once roamed the halls of MKO...?

    Does the Barney in BARN3D2A.ZIP end up looking grey when he shows up
    in DOOM like the previous BARNEY3D.ZIP file?
    
    The one I tried, he was drawn in purple, but ended up all grey when
    running Doom because the palette was chosen wrong for the .GIFs that 
    make up the different Barney frames.  It got mapped to the doom palette
    which has a lot of greys.
    
    BTW, I changed the installation bat file to replace the Imp creature
    with Barney instead of the Baron.  Worked pretty good except the
    monsters don't quite match up in the way they're rotated, and he
    winds up doing the "moon walk".  :')

I know that the first Barney patch I tried game out grey, a 
bit disappointing (but just as fun), but I did find another
patch that worked, and the barney I have is purple!!

Geoff

    
    Barney is just a replacement graphic for one of the mosters, most of
    the patches replace the Hell Baron with graphics of Barney although
    I believe this can be changed.

    Yeh, but what *IS* Barney for us non-USA people.

    Barney is a children's character along the lines of Sesame Street's Big
    Bird, etc.  He's a large purple dinosaur.  He sings silly songs like "I
    love you, you love me, let's live together happily...." or something
    like it.  My children, especially the 2 year old loves Barney and can
    pick him out at extended ranges.  There is a *slew* of marketing behind
    him - stuffed animals, videos, etc.  This has given rise to the Barney
    counter-culture, mainly parents, that sport bumper stickers like, "I
    accelerate for dinosaurs" and "Eat more dinosaur".  I would think that
    some member of the counter culture had some fun patching in Barney, the
    nice, gentle dinasaur into Doom.  Then he shows what real dinosaurs
    can do.....

    
         RE: -.1
    
         What you really missed about Barney is that, unlike Sesame Street,
            NO one over 13 can watch the show and become instantly sick...
    
         Barney & Friends is overly childish and saccharine sweet to the
            point of where you can understand why there is just so many
            people who _hate_ him... Listening to him is like listening
            to someone scratch their finger nails on a chalkboard, it (he)
            makes your skin crawl.
    
         The show is definetly aimed at young kids, and not their parents.
            It's not a show that parents and their children can sit down
            and watch together.
    
         Or so, this is what I got out of the article in TV Guide a while
            back...
    
         Me, personally, I can't stand him... And, I guess I'm not alone...
    
                                                              Grins,
                                                               Mike. 

For those of you hell-bent (pardon the pun) on knowing more about
(or wanting to flame) B------, you should check out a USENET news
group called alt.dinosaur.barney.die.die.die, or alt.spam ... 
they seem to be linked for some odd reason...

    re: .-2
    
    You point out well the nausea factor.  Just for the record, I do not
    let my children watch him every day.  Turns the screen purple....

    On the up-side, Barney tastes just like chicken!

I've been looking for a (the?) Barney WAD file for weeks now - can't find
anything out on the I-way on infant2 (the official distr. point for
wad-stuff).  I looked for BDOOM.ZIP and BARN*.zip.

A few months ago I saw a version of DOOM running at a local COMP-USA store
where Barney was the replacement character for the minotaur character that
comes running up the long narrow corridors at you.

I tried to connect to SHUVVA as listed here in .2 or so, but I can't get a
connect to it.

Anyone have this wad file available where I could copy it to my node?

Thanks,
