* Play Information *      AVATAR1.WAD

Episode and Level #     : MAP02 - MAP06 so you can start on level
                         1 and play to map7 (5 new dmatch levels
                         plus 2 classics).
Single Player           : Yes, good for practicing, I suppose.
                         These are Deathmatch levels though!
Cooperative 2-4 Player  : Yes, but only if its 2 on 2 deathmatch
                         style cooperative.
Deathmatch 2-4 Player   : This is what they're MEANT for! Rocks!!
Difficulty Settings     : Yes! Very important: Practice in one
                         player on skills 3-5, but if you're
                         gonna Deathmatch someone, up the skill
                         to 4 (5's the best!) and take on your
                         friends while a Stomper or two pick you
                         off from the distance! I can guarantee
                         you won't be stopping for breath! (As
                         with all in the Avatar1 series, skill 1
                         is left without monsters
New Sounds              : Naw..
New Graphics            : Not too much. A sky texture here, level
                         name graphic there, and maybe a couple
                         indications of exactly who the author
                         is.
Demos Replaced          : An LMP of all 5, as Avatar1.LMP,
                         recorded with FunkyBoss (Wendigo
                         made one with me too, but that
                         was before I knew the "-timer"
                         function wasn't saved in lmps:)

* Comments *

       Quick rundown on the levels:
Headache: Great 2 player level that can work in either AltDeath or
         DeathMatch. Has a trip-wire warning system for the SS, in
         case you didn't notice..
Gr8Bridg: Best with 4 players, this is the most technique filled
         level. You can do a lot of cool things that might not be
         obvious..
Fragman:  Every author has one.. you can't HELP but frag the hell
         out of each other in this one.
Temple:   More of a hunting level than the others, but it has its
         moments.
CASA!:    Remotely like Temple and Fragman combined, this one keeps
         players together, but requires a little more skill to
         get around.

Standard features of each level:
A line of symmetry (or two)
Nomonsters on skill 1 or 2
Regular monsters on skill 3
Cyberdemon (and sometimes an Archvile, too) on skill 5
An out-of-the-way exit, marked simply with an exit wall texture..
Oodles of texture alignment
Prepackaged coolness

* Construction *

Base                    : Varied.. 2 hours average, but the texture
                         alignment on Casa (map06) took an hour
                         by itself.
Build Time              : 3 weeks or so.
Editor(s) used          : DEU5.21GC!!! Yes, besides for the floors
                         (done all with WADED), this WAD was
                         made completely with good old "DOOM 1
                         only" DEU5.21 with some creative use of
                         WAD1to2.
Known Bugs              : None, and the textures are aligned
                         well. (Okok, there's a LITTLE bit of HOM
                         on Gr8Bridg, but I slashed the heck outa
                         that level to cut it down majorly.
