Updates/fixes for this version:
Control points on moving pillars no longer float in the air.
Thing height/width and blocking characteristics are now realistic.
'Point taken' messages now appear in a better position

Map02 - Fixed broken door, improved lighting
Map07 - Improved texturing, some details & lighting, moved a really ugly spawn.
Map08 - Fixed map name, music, a stray texture and lift speeds.  Moved 2 dompoints
so they are not all so close.  Added a couple more player starts (& guns).
Map10 - wrong sprites have been fixed, lift speeds too.
Map11 - The control point in 'the arches' is now less spammable.
Map13 - Weapon-on-spawn problems fixed.
Map14 - Changes to item/weapon placement.
Map15 - Lowered hill a bit.
Map16 - Map back to original dimensions, but reduced in height and easier to
see your way around in.
Map17 - scorelimit has been increased (after I unintentionally dropped it before)
Map18 - new one courtesy of Worst-vd-plas!



Game settings:
Hopefully you're already playing this on a correctly configured server, if that is
not the case then here are some things you need to know -

It is ESSENTIAL to have the 'Assign team keys' DMFLAG enabled.

The 'Teleporting missiles' DMFLAG is checked by the maps - if it is on then the
'X team took Y point' messages will be displayed.  If it is off, they won't.

The 'Spawn monsters' DMFLAG should be enabled, as this is used to provide the end
of game announcer sounds.  Spheres and other powerups should spawn too.

These maps can be played with 2-4 teams.  It is probably advisable to disable the
'point taken' messages if there are more than 2 teams (and a lot of players).

Target names are up to the server host and/or player.  Again, it's probably too
much screen clutter to have if the 'point taken' messages are on.

Servers should have no timelimit or (team)score limit and run as Team Deathmatch.
Team damage may be enabled.  Exiting should be enabled.

Players may want to alter their screen resolution to get an optimal display (see
the point below).

Player ranking and the timer can be switched off as they are useless here (and
just create more onscreen junk than is desirable).

Long story short, these are my recommended DMFLAGS:
For 2 teams  -  278692 / 38928385
For 3/4 teams - 278692 / 38797312


To play:
There are no team starts, which means that a player of any team may spawn at any
one of the DM starts in the map.  As soon as a player joins, the status display
will appear on the right-hand side of the screen.  This shows how many points each
team score, and also which team holds each control point.  Initially each point
is neutral, and is coloured brown.

The  points are represented by Doom's 'Evil Eyes' and players must touch them to
take control of them.  The points then remain that colour until a rival team
takes them.  Depending on game settings, a message may display to show which team
has taken a point.

Other than the 'King of the Hill' map(10) and the quite Nutty map17, all others
are played until one team gets up to 400 points.  Map10's limit is 250points and
map17's is 600.

When the scorelimit has been reached, the map will end with the scores shown.


Known bugs:
TheCupboard's map05 likes to cause clients to crash.  No-one can get to the
bottom of this, but reports are that it will not occur in updated versions of ZD.
I still have no idea if this mod will work on ST.


Not-so-much-bugs-as-side effects:
The status display updates (roughly) 3 times per second. With current ZD
limitations this text is also crapped into the console too. Short ingame chatter
is still possible, but don't expect to have meaningful conversations while the
game is on! This wall of spam does not commence until a player enters the map,
so if you wanna converse then do it before or after the game.

The way the status is printed to screen is überhackish. This means that
unfortunately it does not display in quite the same position at all playing
resolutions. If you find that the panel is nearer the centre of the screen than
to the right-hand side then you need to either change your resolution until you
find one that works better, or just deal with it as it is.
