Title                   : The Rebirth debugged version
Filename                : Rebirth1.WAD

Misc. Author Info       : From Bielefeld, Germany
                         19 years old
                         My first WAD for Doom2, look for other WADs in the futur;
                         my next project is a Medieval-style WAD.

Description             : Partial Convertion for Doom2, replaces all of the
                         32 Maps. The fixed version:
                         The coop mode should work now
                         Added some more weapons/ammo and health in multiplayer
                         Added an own Bossback picture
                         Minor changes at the titlepic (propably you won`t even notice that) ;-)
                         Recorded new demos
                         Got out the unnecessary flats and sprites so it is
                         smaller in size and not longer illegal!!
                         Fixed the undefined texture (map31)

Installation            : If you're using an enhanced Doom port (such as jdoom or legacy)
                         the Wad should be playable without any problems.
                         When you`re using vanilla Doom2 you have to install the sprites to
                         the Wad. For this you have to use Deusf, wich is included in the rebirth.zip

                         When you have unzipped the files to your doom directory just type to the
                         Dos prompt:  deusf -append rebirth1.wad

                         That`s all!

                         I highly recommend to use an enhanced port anyway.

Story                   : 12 years after the Overlord of hell was defeated, humankind has
                         rebuilded and repopulated Earth.
                         The old threat from the flaming pits of hell, seem to be forgotten.
                         In this time nobody knows that a small part
                         of the Overlords brain has survived and reanimated itself.

                         You wake up in your quarter on the Starbase Omega2, when
                         the first demons start to invade earth once again.
                         While you`re hearing the fighting sounds outside your room, you
                         grab your pistol and prepare yourself to blast some ugly creatures.

Tipps                   : In this WAD all the EYE SWITCHES are shootable (what doesn`t mean,
                         that there are no other shootable switches)

                         Don`t wonder the final boss don`t scream when you shoot at it,
                         just keep pumping your rockets into his brain.
