======================================================================
Archive Maintainer      : UFO2 is simply a conversion of an old
                         Dmgraph patch to standard wad format.
                         The original version simply consisted of 13
                         .gif images and required the Dmgraph utility
                         to permanently modify your doom.wad iwad.
                         The original also didn't include any sounds.
Update to               : ./idgames/graphics/ufo.zip
Advanced engine needed  : no
Primary purpose         : No levels included.
                         This is a graphics-only wad.

Filename                : ufo2.wad
Release date            : 6 Dec 2000

Version 2 Update by     : Sparky of KISS Software  [email protected]

Description             : This wad simply replaces the Cacodemon with
                         a UFO. New to this version:
                         - converted the Dmgraph patch to wad format
                         - added the missing sprite frames
                           (heada3a7, headb3b7, headc3c7, headd3d7)
                         - clipped the unused space from the images
                           to halve the size of the wad.
                         - adjusted the vertical and horizontal
                           offsets of the sprites.
                         - added four sounds - UFO nearby, sees
                           player, injured and death sounds
                           (see known bugs below).

Additional Credits to   : - The authors of the modern utilities which
                           make this kind of conversion possible.
                         - Ty Halderman - the Doom Archive Maintainer
                           at Walnut Creek for finally relenting
                           (after 2 years), and allowing me to update
                           the old Dmgraph patches in the archive.

======================================================================
* What is included *

New levels              : none
Sounds                  : Yes
Music                   : No
Graphics                : Yes
Dehacked/BEX Patch      : No
Demos                   : No
Other                   : No
Other files required    : If played with 'Plain Vanilla' Doom or Doom2
                         you'll need a utility to patch ufo2.wad
                         with the extra sprites from doom.wad or
                         doom2.wad; such as: DeuSF, WinTex, NWT, etc.
                         For example:   deusf -as ufo2.wad

                         This will GREATLY increase the size of
                         ufo2.wad.  A MUCH better option is to use a
                         Doom Source Port that can import pwads
                         containing sprite graphics (most of them).
                         Patching is not required with these ports
                         and ufo2.wad can be used as-is; for example:
                            boom -file ufo2.wad

                         To quickly check out the new UFO, try the
                         following Doom/Doom2 levels:
                          Doom/UDoom - lots of UFOs - E2M9 - idclev29
                          Doom II - few UFOs - map24 - idclev24
                                    lots of UFOs - map18 - idclev18


* Play Information *

Map #                   : n/a - wad contains sprites and sounds only

* Construction *
