Description             : This is the source code release of Boomlightgen,
                         a tool to create a day/night cycle
                         in Boom using a generated WadC script,
                         as seen in the map The Last Sanctuary. It
                         ''computes'' a changing light cycle through
                         linedefs/sidedefs using this script.

Additional Info by Red  : According to the author, Boomlightgen takes light
                         values of all sectors with tag>10000 and generates
                         a script for WadC, which builds a "voodoo doll script"
                         for day/night cycle. The only big disadvantage of this
                         method is big linedefs/sidedefs usage (50% of the map
                         is day/night cycle "script").

                         An advanced version also exists, which can build
                         different lighting for night based on 2 wads which
                         are identical except for light levels (so first
                         wad is day light, the second wad is night light)
                         The cost is 2x more linedefs/sidedefs.

                         This release should contain most things needed to
                         compile a working Boomlightgen executable. The ''copy''
                         folder is more recent and contains a debug exe. The
                         compiled executable should ideally be used with
                         WadC, for its script was made for that program.

                         The debug executable (boomlightgen.exe) will ask for
                         libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll, make sure your equivalent
                         CodeLite, Code::Blocks or MinGW installation includes
                         this.

                         The code is provided ''as-is''. It is uploaded for
                         historical preservation and educational purposes only.
                         You may study its contents, but the code is unsupported.
                         I have prepared this package for inclusion on /idgames.
