Archive Maintainer      : This is an old DMGRAPH/DMAUD patch converted
                          to wad format, with a few minor additions
                          for it to be used with either Doom or Doom2.
Update to               : homerdm2.zip (not in the idgames archive).
                          Note, homerdm2.zip and homerd2b.zip are
                          unrelated to the sound-only wad located at:
                          ./idgames/themes/simpsons/homerdm3.zip
Recommended location    : ./idgames/themes/simpsons/homerd2b.zip

Title                   : HOMER'S DOOM  (version 2b).
                          I had to call it version 2b because there's
                          already a homerdm3.zip in the archive  :(
Filename                : homerd2b.wad
Release date            : December 2000 (although I released this wad
                          conversion on local BBSs back in late 1996).

Description             : A Partial Conversion for all versions of
                          Doom/Doom2 based on The Simpsons TV show.
                          Homer's Doom features: 2 new monsters, a new
                          shotgun, new menu graphics and status bar
                          (including Homer's face), and lots of new
                          sounds from The Simpsons.

                          The only changes I made from the original
                          Dmgraph/Dmaud patch are: 
                           - fixed a few graphics faults and sprite
                             offsets.
                           - added some missing animation frames for
                             the Imp and the exploding TVs.
                           - added blank graphic patches for Doom's
                             Episode1 intermission screen.
                           - copied sky1 to rsky1 for use with Doom2.
                           - copied wimap0 to interpic also for use
                             with Doom2.
                           - modified some of the main menu option
                             graphics (load/save game, episode/skill
                             selection, etc).

Additional Credits to   : In the previous text file from 1996 I
                          thanked my fiance for her patience. She's
                          now my wife, and I still thank her for her
                          unending patience and love.

Other files required    : A utility to patch the sprites if used with
                          'Plain Vanilla' Doom or Doom II (see below).


* Play Information *

Game                    : Doom, Ultimate Doom, or Doom II
Map #                   : Any - this is graphics/sound pwad
Single Player           : Yes
Cooperative 2-4 Player  : Yes
Deathmatch 2-4 Player   : No
Other game styles       : No
Difficulty Settings     : Not applicable

======================================================================

Play with 'Plain Vanilla' Doom or Doom II:
 a) you will need to add the extra sprite graphics to homerd2b.wad
    using a program such as DeuSF, WinTex, NWT, etc.  For example:
      deusf -as homerd2b.wad
 b) with the extra sprites patched, just load the wad normally:
      doom -file homerd2b.wad
      doom2 -file homerd2b.wad

Play with a Source Port:
 A better option is to use a Doom Source Port that can import pwads
 containing sprite graphics such as: Boom, PrBoom, MBF, SMMU, PrjDoom,
 ZDoom, Legacy, etc.  Patching is not required with these ports, just
 run the wad as-is.  For example:  boom -file homerd2b
