===========================================================================
* The Story *==============================================================
===========================================================================

Played, The Darkest Hour, Liked it, Got permission from Rex to rip away
some resources, got some from Nigel, some from GothicTX, Started working on
them, Got more skilled in Photoshop, found the original games, Duke3d and
Dark Forces... Started almost from scratch, Lots of original textures from
scratch, In the mean time had started working on the sprites and Dehacked,
Got more skilled, Had started to write scripts for ZDoom, ditto...
Made this pack ready for scriptful ZDoom levels, Hope you like them. ;)

Actually this is far from complete, I want a total conversion of doom items
and monsters, a lot more textures and decals, Lots of ready written texts
on the textures, more and  better sound effects... but for now it is ready
for you, and a lot better than the previous release!

Look at it as a beta, but it has the original doom monsters almost intact,
for the ones who love them (including myself:), but the final release will
have more of Strife and DarkForces and Duke in it. A totally interactive
environment, I hope. (i.e. you can shoot lamps off, or knock fences down)

===========================================================================
* Sights and Sounds *======================================================
===========================================================================

The textures are made in a way so that the textures of the same theme can
be combined seamlessly together, experience with them and I hope you will
like them, (Send those suggestions!) Some of them are made to be tore apart
for instance you would not like to place a wall with a Poison and Radiation
and Danger sign together! Also use the Y-shifting for best effects.

There are some new monsters and Items:

* SSNazi is now "Storm trooper", this guy is a beeffed up shotgun soldier.
* Keen is a "Defence turret", far more useful and "fearsome".
* Hanging body "HDB5" is a "nosey officer", script him around a lot.
* Hanging body "HDB6" is an "overseer officer", ditto .
  These two officers may change their uniforms with Thing_SetTranslation.
* Hanging arms out 2 is now a landmine, watch out or your legs are toast.
* Dead Skull is a "Damage detector" useful for those walls that break
  with explosions like duke3d, script their specials for some good effects.
* Barrels can now be pushed around, hint, hint!
* Imp fireballs act a bit different ;)
* Pole with skull looks a bit different.
* Bullet puffs make ricochet sounds.

* Hanging torso 2 and Hanging One-legged Body 2 are two different types of
  pickable bonus items. One bobs and other drops on the ground.

  Currently in ZDoom 1.23 beta 33 they can not be picked up, so you can
  only use them for visual effects, where players can not reach them, but
  if in future versions of ZDoom they become pickable then you can use
  their special to perform some action when a player picks them up!

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

There are also some ambient sound effects:

* Pointed continuous sounds:

   0: Computer beep 2
   1: Computer beep 3
   2: Computer hum 1
   3: Computer hum 2
   4: Computer hum 15
   5: Computer scan
   6: Conveyor
   7: Engine hum
   8: Fan
   9: Flies
  10: Force field 1
  11: Force field 2
  12: Laser hum 1
  13: Laser hum 2
  14: Machinery 1
  15: Machinery 2
  16: Machinery 3
  17: Neon lamps?
  18: Radio
  19: Rocks fall
  20: Siren 1
  21: Siren 2
  22: Steam hiss
  23: Train
  24: Turbine

  31: Drips
  32: Splashes
  33: Gloops
  34: Steam hiss
  35: Ambient voice
  36: Lava hiss 1
  37: Lava hiss 2
  38: Lava hiss 3
  39: Lava hiss 4

* Global random sounds:

  51-56: Battle sounds
  57: Scuba bubbles

Place 35 somwhere behand the walls, she will anounce somthing vague.

Scatter objects 36-39 through your lava pits, you will like them!

If you place the all of the 51-56 anywhere in a level you will have
perfect bombarding sounds around you through out the level.

If you place a 57 somewhere in the level you will hear random
bubble sounds anywhere in the level, good for underwater themes.

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

P.S. just listen to the sounds around your levels!
     better to decrease the music volume first!

P.S. do you know the way to use "TOOL..." floor textures? I will show you
     in an example level (hopefully soon:), a combat training facility!

===========================================================================
* Suggestions *============================================================
===========================================================================

Randy, the instant you make support for footstep sounds on the terrains,
I will supply the sounds. For instance, if we run on a metal surface we
will hear Cling Clang Clongs...

We can also have different footstep sounds for faked floors deeper than the
player`s knees. i.e. Slash Slosh changes to Slurrps in deeper places.

This pack has lots of ready made decals and signs on the walls (Pheaw, what
long hours of decal placement! Almost made me regret I ever started this!)
But if ZDoom supports easy and precise placement of texture patches on the
walls as additional decals (Editors too!) I can compact this pack and start
working on more decals for endless difference in the environment!

Who talked about floor decals, me? Nooo! :)

And when ZDoom finally loses distinction between the wall patches and floor
textures (and sprites?) I can compact this pack a lot more and supply more
textures patches in the future!

By the way ZDoom is great as it is. Thanx to Randy for this peace of art!

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

Please send me those suggestions and resources, praises or criticisms, I
look forward to them to improve the final release! Thanx anyway :)
