*Playing Instructions*

Load it up with any wad you like and type 'puke 852 xx' to turn it on (xx = interval in seconds), 
and 'puke 852' to turn it off. You'll get a visual timer that counts down to the next autosave, 
along with a 10 second warning. (which is useful in larger maps as it can create a lag spike)

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