Description             : Few Ultimate Doom WADs have stood the test of time
                         as well as the 2011 E1 replacement "Double Impact"
                         by RottKing and Ralphis, a collection of sprawling
                         techbases with agile action. In addition to being
                         released as a standalone PWAD, Double Impact became
                         the fourth episode of the IWAD replacement
                         Freedoom: Phase 1 in 2013, and in 2020 became an
                         official add-on for the Unity port of Doom,
                         introducing it to a wider audience than even the
                         best Doom WADs usually receive.

                         One small flaw in this otherwise great WAD is its
                         incomplete soundtrack. The original PWAD contained
                         two original tracks and two remixes of Bobby
                         Prince's music. In Freedoom, due to the limitations
                         of the engine, Double Impact simply reuses music
                         from the first three episodes, in the same pattern
                         that Ultimate Doom's fourth episode did, meaning
                         that the music selections fit only a little better
                         than random chance. This project aims to fix that
                         flaw by providing a new soundtrack for the WAD that
                         can be used with both the PWAD and Freedoom: Phase
                         1, and which, in the spirit of Freedoom, is
                         absolutely free to reuse and remix.

Special thanks          : RottKing for Double Impact.
                         Ralphis for Double Impact, and also for providing
                         some early feedback on the idea for the project.
                         Everyone who's contributed to Freedoom and the
                         wider ecosystem of open-source software and games.
                         Palitoman and Bobby were set to contribute to this
                         pack, but never finished their contributions due to
                         my (continuum.mid) lack of due diligence in keeping
                         the project alive. Thanks for contributing and I'm
                         sorry for taking so long.
