Description             : DEHACKED mod, compatible with any source port and
                         even the original game.

                         For a long time, I've been experimenting with
                         improving balance of Doom's weapons (and
                         enemies), to make all of them useful while
                         retaining their "feel", which we players are so
                         much familiar with, as much as possible.
                         Eventually, I settled on this version:

                         Fist left unchanged. Chainsaw is bloodstained and
                         deals double damage. Pistol fires twice as fast
                         and 100% accurately. Shotgun fires 25% faster and
                         has a new reload animation, resembling SSG's
                         reload. SSG fires about 33% faster, as fast as
                         the unmodified shotgun did. Chaingun fires 25%
                         faster. RL and PG left unchanged. BFG become a
                         rapid-fire weapon, but loses its "blasting"
                         effect - now it works like a more powerful
                         plasmagun, which also consumes more ammo. Bullet
                         capacity increased to 300 (600 with a backpack),
                         plasma capacity increased to 450 (900 with a
                         backpack).

                         In addition, there are minor changes to some
                         monsters to improve their balance as well, and
                         make them worthy opponents while not too
                         overpowered:

                         Zombiemen are twice as fast, twice as aggressive,
                         and shoot twice in a row. Demons and spectres
                         move 50% faster, bite faster, and their bites
                         deal damage a lot sooner. Revenant's missile is
                         orange and deals half damage. Arachnotrons start
                         firing at you without their usual long charge.

                         That's all - enjoy! ;)
