Author:	Limbs a Flyin' [Chris Coulter]
Description:	Started out as using the first level of s/w Rise of the Triad as a (very) rough base. actuly built most of it from memory, but ends up to be quite different than the original. Even has the music thrown in too. Designed for DeathMatch realy, but has quite a few monsters bunged in too, if you need 'em.
Credits:	Whoever made WadAuthor, my fav editor, NWT 1.3 [only to stick the mus file in] Er, Midi2mus I suppose... And of course we can't forget Apogee [sp?] for the music, the original map for the base [sorta] and of course ROTT itself. [Even if nobody plays/likes/has it, awful tile based maps, ick]
Base:	New level from scratch, well not realy.. using a ROTT level as a rough base..
Build time:	A couple of days, when i felt like it.
Editor(s) used:	WadAuthor, duuno the ver, NWT+Midi2mus briefly.
Bugs:	None, I think. Unless when you shoot projectiles into the sky [you'll see] and they dissapear [but not always], but thats actuly normal. Oh yeah, musn't forget:

Zahid	good 2 min fun on single play didn't play on DM	x
Anonymous	This is dated April 1996. The readme's more interesting than the map - it was going to be part of an ambitious 30-level Deathmatch set, with new graphics etc, but of course the designers got bored and drifted apart. The map itself is simplistic and you can run straight to the exit, and it would be too cramped to work in Deathmatch. The effect leading to the exit switch is cheesy but looks nice.	x

Title                   : ROTT.WAD
Author                  : Limbs a Flyin' [Chris Coulter]
Email adress            : only have a School one ;( you shouldnt bother though,
                          I only use the School network, say about 3-6 times 
                          a year? Anyway.. i *think* this is it..
                          COULTERP@JUNO.SHIRLEY.SCHOOL.CO.NZ  but Im not making any
                          promises...  and dont expect a reply. [sorry]
Misc. Author Info       : Erm... here goes..
                          Very good at WAD skills,
                          eg textures, sounds, flats, sprites, music, misc gfx,
                          maps, some data lumps.. [thats all of it?]
                          Also quite handy with 'ol Dehacked too.

******************** NOTE *****************************NOTE***********************
                          This was one of my very first levels, so some of you
                          may consider it to be a bit sad. No worry, ive 
                          improved my WAD creating abilities quite alot 
                          since I built this lev. [And another thing: quite a 
                          bit of the 'GSTONE' texture, no, it's NOT a generic
                          texture with my editor; I liked it at the time ;) ]

It was also planned to be in 'AKDOOM.WAD' which 
                          became 'FINAL.WAD' which then went on to be 
                          'ATTACK.WAD' ('cos romour had it at the time id
                          were going to release a FINAL.WAD). ATTACK was
                          supposed to be a 30 lev dm wad, new sounds, gfx, mus,
                          even new flats and more, (including a Dehacked DOOM2.EXE)
                          but that never happened. I was builing it with a few others
                          who i only knew via Nomads OnLine BBS,(03-3651856,
                          Christchurch, New Zealand... subtle costless plug >8})
                          but however, the others didn't want to do it anymore,
                          or even play DOOM anymore [1 of 'em sold up his account 
                          on NOL!]. So i was left with a shambles of a WAD with 
                          many under half-built levels..
                          Anyway, i finaly released it, 7 lev dm WAD with a few
                          sounds, but full of little graphics [eg, stat bar, 
                          message text, misc. stuff for the menus],
                          each lev has new music [some old, some new i think].
                          And so this level was abandoned [weak in comparason
                          to my levs for ATTACK], until i found it again
                          today. Have fun..

Description               Started out as using the first level of s/w Rise
                          of the Triad as a (very) rough base. actuly built
                          most of it from memory, but ends up to be quite 
                          different than the original. Even has the music 
                          thrown in too.

Designed for DeathMatch realy, but has quite a few
                          monsters bunged in too, if you need 'em.

                          And of course we can't forget Apogee [sp?] for the
                          music, the original map for the base [sorta]
                          and of course ROTT itself. [Even if nobody 
                          plays/likes/has it, awful tile based maps, ick]

Difficulty Settings     : Uh, another thing i forgot if i have or not. I

******************EXIT??*****************

The exit is reached by crossing an invisible
                          bridge over a pit of lava. could drive you insane
                          trying to get there, but im sure many of you will
                          look at it with level editors or maybe the map cheat.
                          [BOOO, HiSSSSSS! You should try to cross it with out
                          knowing where it is! >>8-) ]

* Where to get this WAD *

I am hoping that you got the WAD with this text..

* Other WAD's by the same author *

ATTACK -- 7 lev DM WAD compiled by me, but i did build the first 2 levs
                  from scratch. Other levs from the other people who were creating
                  it with me.

LAFSPRTE -- My very own Sprite WAD! i never got it finished, so i left it
                  as it is. Couple of guns changed, and players have blue pants..

FRENZY -- [To Be Announced]
                 I hope to get this one finished before THAT Q game takes over..
                 Level 1 rip [ don't we love 'em? ;) ]

I have done a few other bits and pieces but I dont think i can remeber all of them.
eg Converted E4M4 to Doom2 [plus music and gfx, including a TEXTURE2 resource]
Made a RTS file for DUKE 3D [various.rts i think? i currently ignore duke3d, 
anyway was just a bunch of old sounds from WADs]
Possibly a few more that i have forgotten about..

I think after FRENZY [if i finish it, of course ;)] i might try my hand at 
Descent missions... if i can figure out how to get the editor to work and not crash..

If you are ever on Nomads sometime, possibly through a telnet connnection or what ever
[dont know much about Internet terms], you'll find me under the user-id of Limbs

I think that covers everything..
Thank you for your time.
[Even if the WAD is a bit old and boring ;)]

Phew, 2:21 am, im off to sleep for a while..
