Description             : Hellcinerator is a large singleplayer / multiplayer
                         map that is a teaser for the upcoming MBF21 megawad
                         Corruption by NinjaDelphox and friends. I have
                         contributed a bit to this megawad when it comes to
                         the DehackEd and the Palette/Colourmap, and this map
                         is meant to showcase many of the exclusive MBF21 /
                         DEHEXTRA (and even some fancy Boom) features that
                         can be used in Doom Mapping.

                         A much older version of this map was originally
                         submitted to decino's Round 4 submissions. And so
                         this map has some references made for decino.

                         This is my first ever BOOM map, and I can say that I
                         have pushed some of BOOM?s mechanics pretty far. The
                         map has more than 1000 sector tags with more than 600
                         voodoo dolls, and so it would be amiss to say that
                         this map isn?t but complex. Unfortunately, some of the
                         map?s effects may lag older computers, and so I suggest
                         DSDA Doom for the smoothest experience.

                         The map itself should take around 30-90 minutes to finish,
                         depending if you are going for the secret exit or not. It
                         includes some slaughter-ish fights, but I don?t think I
                         would call the entire map full-on slaughter.

                         All difficulties have been implemented.

                         "Vile Cruelty" (UV Plus) is also available with
                         additional monsters and items for those who
                         would like an extra challenge.

                         You can access "Vile Cruelty" in DSDA Doom and Woof-based
                         ports with the argument "-coop_spawns". Use "-solo-net" for
                         Eternity and PrBoom Plus. ZDoom ports have an option added
                         to the Skill selection menu (note that older ZDoom versions
                         may not have the recent enough code to do the new skill
                         correctly).


--- How to launch ---   :

                        For source ports:
                            use hellcinerator.wad (-complevel 21).

                            hellcinerator_ws.wad is optional for ports that support
                            widescreen graphics.

Known Bugs              : - In DSDA Doom, if you have mouselook on and are
                           running in OpenGL mode, in places where there
                           are multiple different skies, the skies will
                           glitch back and forth between multiple skies.
                           If you turn off mouselook, the sky glitching
                           goes away.
                         - GZDoom Hardware and true colour rendering modes
                           ignore the custom colourmap in the library section
                           (software works correctly).
                         - There is a part of the map where a ceiling raises
                           which will lag GZDoom heavily in Hardware mode for
                           around 5-10 seconds (and I have a good graphics card).
                           A quick fix is to temporarily switch to the software/
                           true colour renderer until the ceiling has finished
                           raising or look away from the centre of the arena
                           [ be sure to watch out ;) ]

Tested With             : GZDoom (4.7.0 or later), DSDA Doom, PrBoom Plus (UMAPINFO),
                         Woof, Eternity Engine 4.03 devbuild, etc.
                         Requires MBF21 support.
