Misc. Author Info       : He's a cop on the edge. She's a spy with a
                          dangerous past. Their worst enemies: each other.

Description             : SpaceDM9 is a set of smooth-flowing deathmatch
                          maps with a combined focus on open-ended gameplay,
                          grand architecture, and unique, modern settings.
                          Built for the Skulltag engine, these levels are
                          designed to take full advantage of the ZDoom
                          software renderer and UDMF editing features.

                          This wad is, at the time of this writing, not
                          compatible with OpenGL rendering. Use software,
                          or stuff's not going to render right! Seriously!

                          (I know no one reads text files and people will
                          try playing it in GL anyway. But seriously, come
                          on, guys.)

                          (Don't try playing it in ZDoom, either. The jump
                          physics are different, and you'll find it exceedingly
                          difficult to navigate some of the maps without dying.)

                          Also, in case you missed it above, this requires
                          the 98e alpha build 3120 (or later) of Skulltag
                          to run properly. Earlier versions will make
                          S9DM03 largely unplayable due to a flag-setting
                          bug in netgames.
                          
                          This 1.01 release features three complete maps:

                              AIR SNARES comprises the tertiary shipping and

                              Nebula 23. After a number of loose-cargo
                              incidents caused by nearby gravitational pull
                              and exacerbated by incompetent employees, the
                              base has gradually fallen into disuse.

                              decked out with popular tourist attractions,
                              including a sushi bar and walk-through aquarium.

                          The 1.01 update is intended to hopefully future-proof
                          these maps against some ZDoom weirdness that was
                          causing major slimetrails and junk in S9DM03.
                          This was "fixed" by removing the nodes from the wad,
                          forcing them to be generated internally.
                          Hooray for backwards progress.

                          (I'm sorry!)

                          Ptoing for assistance with palette and colormap
                          hacking.

                          Graf Zahl for the portal rendering optimizations
                          that aren't in Skulltag yet, but hopefully
                          someday will be! They'll probably make this run
                          a bit more smoothly on slow computers, at least
                          on S9DM01.

                          wipers and intro, respectively, neither of which
                          are in this 1.0 release for various reasons.
                          Hopefully next time!

                          completed in time for this 1.0 preview release.

                          The entire Jetsons IRC crew for helping fill up
                          the SpaceTV 24-hour news cycle with scintillating
                          headlines.

                          Shaikoten for some playtesting suggestions on
                          "Shogouki" that I probably did a terrible job of
                          implementing.

                          Chaindude for some playtesting suggestions on
                          "Eat At Phobo's" that significantly improved
                          the gameplay from its earlier incarnations.
