title : Jump for it
Note : DEATHMATCH wad for Doom 1 ......... and
The Ultimate Doom
author : Daniel Huff
email Address : nextday@qni.com
description : DeathMatch. You'll need to play this one
to believe it. Don't pass it up, or you,ll
really be missing out! - Easy to identify
exit. Fast paced layout for high frag counts!
All weapons above a shotgun are harder to get,
with considerable risk involved. No mis-aligned
textures anywhere, and no bugs!
additional credits : id software for the best game ever! Greg
Jobe for the encouragement to keep building
wads.

This is my challange to everyone on the Internet and anyone else
who reads this text file. In order to promote better wad files,-
(ever downloaded one that just don't work at all, or runs so slow
its like playing in peanut butter, or it has so many missaligned
textures, or worst yet, the same texture through-out the wad,
that it makes you want to puke!); - I offer the following: (this
is not a new idea; I've heard of other authors doing the same.)
1. Use this wad as a base to build your own wad, (I encourage you
to to so; Don't even ask me!; just change it, - anyway you want.
Then distribute it anywhere and everywhere, and in any format
you want, for profit or for free! And also, I challange all
other wad authors to do the same! (after all the majority of us
don,t get paid for making wads anyway!) At least the beginners
will have a place to start; then mabe we won't have to wade
through as many bad wads to find the good ones! This concept
should eventually make all the wads offered, on the Net, better.
2. After you have completed your new wad, (using mine as a base),
put your name on it, take full credit for it! You don't need
to mention my name anywhere, (but I would be happy if you did
so, in your text file; but it's not manditory!) Just remember,
your new wad will have your name on it, so just make sure its
better than mine!; or else whats the point!
3. If you want different weapons placement or different monsters,
in different places, I would encourage you to download ED209,
(probably the easiest wad editor to use, to change, weapons,
monsters and textures. (You can do most of the weapons and
monster changes in less than 5 minutes!). - If you noticed I
used a program called RMB. RMB is not necessary, but it just
helps to speed up the wad a little. --- Both of these fine
programs are available, as Shareware, many places on the Net.
4. If your wad has any bugs, even just a small one, that is hard
to find, even if your looking for mistakes, don't put it on
the Net. Fix it first, or get some help to fix it, or delete
it!. People can forgive you for making boring wads once in a
while, but not defective trash. (I go over my wads in great
detail before releasing them; we also play test em for weeks,
sometimes months, working on the layout, weapons and monsters,
(if any) ect. I would be totally ashamed of some of the
garbage thats on the Net, if my name was attached to it. You
have to be a perfectionist, to produce even a boring wad that
works good, without bugs; even a bad wad takes a little time
and effort to make; so why go to all the time and trouble to
produce garbage!
You may distribute this wad, provided you include this text file,
with no modifications. You may distribute this wad in any electronic
format (bbs, diskette, cd, etc) as long as you include this text
file intact. If you combine this wad with other wads this file must
be included with the new combo wad.
