Description             : Sequel to "Out of Phase" - two maps done in the
                         same style!  These were based loosely on two of
                         my Speedmaps, but even if you've played those
                         before, you'll notice that a lot has been
                         changed - these are not the same maps!

                         Like in my first "Out of Phase", these maps also
                         use the _METAL1_ doors, and the dark corridors
                         with bright lights at the intersection :)

                         A New Year Release!

Additional Credits to   : * My brother Varun for playtesting and useful
                           feedback.

                         * Damian Lee for very useful information about
                           making images with the Doom Palette - I
                           couldn't have made the new graphics without
                           that!

                         * To everyone who has given me feedback on my
                           first "Out of Phase" level.

                         * Doug "Opulent" Merrill, Albert Valls,
                           Metabolist, Joe Pallai and Varun
                           for recording demos of the first "Ophase".

                         * Doomworld, for organising Speedmapping - these
                           two levels have some parts from some speedmaps
                           I made.

                         * NewDoom.com for hosting me!

                         * Doom Center and The 9th Gate team for
                           inspiration and support.

                         * The authors of all tools used to make these
                           levels (see below).

* Construction *

                         changed.

May Not Run With...     : Two plain vanilla Doom II levels -
                         Will work with anything :)

* Additional Information *

Gameplay Info           : Skill 1 is very easy, Skill 3 is action
                         packed, and Skill 4 is harder than the
                         first "Out of Phase".

                         Gameplay is less linear this time - there
                         are interconnected passageways so you can
                         experiment with different ways of playing
                         these levels.

                         There are 8 DM starts in each level.
                         Some more weapons and items have been
                         added for that.  But I tested it without
                         the extras in Skulltag.  Anyway, I think
                         Deathmatch should be fun in these levels,
                         especially MAP02.

Graphics Info           : All these new graphics were made by me...

                         * New titlepic
                         * New credit screen
                         * New status bar
                         * New M_DOOM graphic, and
                         * New sky!

Music                   : Eiffel 65 music like in the first "Out of
                         Phase"!  Here's the list of the songs...

                         * Title Music  : Outhere Brothers "Boom Boom"
                         * MAP01        : Eiffel 65 "Move Your Body"
                         * MAP02        : Eiffel 65 "Another Race"
                         * Intermission : US3 "Cantaloop"

Tools                   : DoomCAD 6.1 was used to make both levels,
                         BSP 5.0 to build nodes, WinTex 4.3 for
                         putting all the stuff in the WAD, XWE for
                         cleaning up the WAD and making a 1.03 MB WAD
                         into a little over 400 KB :), Paint Shop Pro
                         6.0 for making all graphics.
