Description             : A 4 episode megawad for the Ultimate Doom
                         containing 4 all new challenging episodes for
                         you to test you're skill on, great architecture
                         and lots of hard work, put into every level.
                         A recomended download. This is a re-release
                         which has some bug fixes, see below for more info.

Story                   : You fight you're way through a monster infested
                         bloodbath to destroy that spider. Then you return
                         home to find out the awful truth that you're wife
                         "Stephanie" has been kidnapped by Tommy the Trooper.
                         Then you must go back into hell somewhere else to
                         destroy Tommy and rescue you're wife.

Additional Credits to   : All the authours for the Utilites which made
                         this megawad possible. ID software of course
                         for allowing all us authors and others to create
                         addon levels for their games over the past 10
                         years. And myself for making sure this great
                         megawad would be completed and not go dead like
                         some other megawads such as Doom Millennium?.
                         Also credit goes to members who signed in and
                         gave it a try but couldnt get any ideas going.

Changes in V3 (1 Aug 04): MAPINFO bugs fixed. You can now complete any
                         episode using ZDOOM, LEGACY, etc.
                       : Improved texture alignment in E4M6
                       : Improved music if using the Yamaha SXG50
                         driver and playing using ZDOOM.
                       : Plasma gun added to E2M6 and textures aligned.
                       : E5M1 improvents, more ammo added, but still
                         sparse so take care.

* Construction *

Base                    : New levels from scratch
Editor(s) used          : Various

* Known Bugs *

If the game crashes using Doom v1.9. Here are some possible solutions
it is recomended that you use a source port to play this megawad.
See the Requirements section below.

E4M9 Items dissapering  : A source port will display this level properly.

Savegame bug            : If you play using the old Doom.exe V1.9
                         and try to save a game and it crashes
                         with "Savegame buffer overrun" or the screen
                         messes up. That means the level is too big
                         to save in. This occurs on some of the big
                         levels such as E2M7, E3M7 and E4M6.

Visplane error (VPO)    : This is a limit in the original Doom v1.9 (DOS version).
No more visplanes         The game crashes in very detailed areas.
Visplane overflow         It is recomended that you use a source port
                         such as BOOM or ZDOOM to prevent this from
                         occuring. See Requirements below. The chances
                         of getting a VPO is hard. But in levels like
                         E4M5, E4M6, E2M7, E3M5, E1M8 where there is lots of detail
                         you are at risk!.

* Who did which level? *

Paul Corfiatis          : E1M1, E1M3, E1M5, E1M7, E1M9
                         E2M1, E2M4, E2M5, E2M7 (w Kristian)
                         E2M8, E2M9, E3M2, E3M7, E3M8, E4M1
                         E4M8, E4M9, E5M1, Music and GFX work.
Chris Hansen            : E2M2, E3M6, E4M3, E4M4, E4M5, E4M7
Kristian Aro            : E1M2, E1M4, E1M6, E1M8, E2M7 (w Paul)
Rory Habich             : E2M3, E2M6, E3M3, E3M4
Sam Woodman             : E3M1, E3M9
Virgil, The Doom poet   : E3M5
Anthony Soto            : E4M2
Joseph Pallai           : E4M6, Some of the new Textures
                         (borrowed from some other wad).

* Requirements *

Hard drive Space        : 20 megs, the wad is just over 11 megs. But this
                         shouldnt be a problem because most computers
                         have thousands of megs free space.

Minimum                 : Doom v1.9 on a 486 with fast video card
                         but due to the detail in some of the levels
                         you are at risk of a Visplane releated crash.
                         If you use Doom95, the Visplane limit seems
                         to be bigger and there is less chance of a crash.

Recomended              : Any limited source port. that could be Boom, Zdoom
                         Doom legacy, and whatever.
