Title                   : Zeke's original Molotov Cocktail from Mac Batman Doom
Filename                : macmoltv.deh
Release date            : Dec 26 2018

Description             : The original Mac version of Batman Doom had an
                         alternate effect for Zeke's Molotov Cocktail.
                         Instead of the bottle spawning a single flame, it
                         causes a multitude of flames to appear.  This
                         turns out to be a clever (ab)use of the Pain
                         Elemental death code pointer, relying on vanilla
                         Doom's hardcoded 21 Lost Soul limit to stop
                         spawning new flames.

                         ACE Team decided to disable this effect for the
                         original PC release since they required Boom to
                         work around another Dehacked issue.  Boom removes
                         the Lost Soul cap and causes this effect to crash
                         the game.

                         With fraggle's earlier fix to allow vanilla Doom
                         to run Batman Doom (see vbatman.zip), it's now
                         possible to restore the original Mac Molotov
                         Cocktail behavior to the PC version.

                         NOTE:  This patch will CRASH any port that removes
                         the Lost Soul limit!  This includes ZDoom and Boom!
                         Use with Chocolate Doom or a similar vanilla-ish
                         port.

                         USE: Apply it after batman.deh and vbatman.deh

Additional Credits to   : Scuba Steve for kicking off this investigation
                         Revenant100 for figuring out how the effect worked
                         And of course ACE Team for Batman Doom!
