================================================================
* General Information *
The WAD has been tested to work with Legacy (v1.30 and newer ones), ZDooM
and BooM.
The WAD file that has served as a guide is called 'Boomedit.Wad'. References
of the new enhances and functions can be found at the 'Boomref.Txt' file.
The utility that I have used to create the lumps is 'Swantbls.Exe'; also to
embed the midi file I have used 'Musput.Exe' both from Jim Flynn.
There is included the original DATA file for any purpose. Also I have included
a HINTBOOK so you won't have any trouble during your tour around FERN (check
out the 'Element.Zip' file).

By entropy122 · PostedWhat the actual f*ck is this map. I love having 4 rockets, a shit ton of bullets and like 10 shotgun shells to take out a revenant, and whatever was in that cage. Doesn't look too bad, maybe this negativity is cus im no expert, also rather unskilled at the game?
By Walter confetti · PostedNot that bad, even kind of interesting find the secrets in the map! But yeah, that switches jungle is a awful choice really.
