Misc. Author Info       :

Description             : Well,...you arrive at a pre-determined point in the
                         level...and you find some weapons and ammo...and you
                         take a look around...and you see some really scary
                         bit-maps come at you...and you shoot them with your
                         8-bit "Digi-Blaster"...and they groan and fall over.
                         No mystery here...just common sense.   : )

                         Seriously, folks, this WAD has a ton of high quality
                         samples that I felt the need to have. The size of
                         this file is huge because of it. The base level is
                         around 270kb ! The sounds and MIDI equal around
                         310kb! And this .TXT file alone is bigger than most
                         peoples' complete WAD's.

                         The MIDI file that I included was written
                         exclusively for an SB16 or compatible - that means
                         FM Synthesis. I felt that writing for this platform
                         would be about the best way to convey the music to
                         a general audience. If you have one of those
                         wave-table synthesis jobs...Well, good for you and
                         your good taste (again!). I, unfortunately, just
                         have the wonderful FM synthesis to work with (and
                         so do millions of other users). I just figured that
                         the needs of the many outweighed the needs of the
                         few (where have I heard that before?). Now, if you
                         want to talk about 16 bit 44.1khz digital audio
                         samples... That's opening another can of
                         Imps...GOTHIC MIDI mostly deals with "CD quality"
                         samples for use with synths and samplers...Be on
                         the lookout for GOTHIC files on C-Serve...

                         If you find this file to be too big in size...Maybe
                         your Nintendo is calling for you!  If you find that
                         it needs to be bigger, drop me a line and  we'll
                         Co-Author a Mother.WAD.

                         Originally, this level was intended to be E2M1 but
                         I wanted the sky texture in the first Episode. From
                         here on in, it's E2M1 (to conform to id Software's
                         request).

                         Another worthy note: If you open this file in an
                         Editor program you will lose the music and the
                         sound effects. Always make a backup before you hack
                         it up!

                         Again, GOTHIC MIDI is Multimedia...and yes, that
                         includes text!! (I don't do shabby work...If it's
                         worth doing...it's worth doing right).

Authors MAY use this level as a base to build additional levels. Authors MAY
hire THIS Author to do additional music and / or sounds for their games and
/ or Multimedia. Authors MAY trade fried Imp recipes among themselves. Authors
AND Players MAY enjoy this GOTHIC MIDI WAD immensely and I wish you luck
against the squeeling CacoDummies (Isn't that a cereal?).

You MAY distribute this WAD, PROVIDED you include this file, with
no modifications, AND you write the Author First to notify him.
(I just want to keep track of my files...Is that so wrong? : )

You may distribute this file in any electronic
format (BBS, Diskette, CD, etc) as long as you include this file
intact. (Remember - Keep them all together).

This MIDI file is a registered copyright and is property of GOTHIC MIDI. No
unauthorized distribution of this MIDI file seperately. Let's just keep this
simple...

1.) If you NEED this file for your project...Please drop me a line and perhaps
   we can work something out.

2.) You can pass this file around as a WHOLE...not in segments. This is for
   Doom fans and authors only. If I hear this music in the background of
   a Tampax commercial..."Dere's gonna twouble, Boy!"

3.) If you MUST pass this on to the good people of the Internet...I would
   appreciate it if you would write me first. The only real rules in life are
   those of good judgement and common courtesy.
