Misc. Author Info       : I'm that Vanilla slotter mapper.

Description             : SLOTTER VULT is a single Vanilla+ Doom map (complevel 2)
                         created with the resource of the upcoming "Hell Revealations"
                         megawad. Since the map doesn't really fall within the "Hell
                         Revealed" style in gameplay or aesthetics, I figured I'd
                         release it standalone.

                         This map is heavily inspired by Huy Pham's Deus Vult.
                         Sort of think of it as a Vanilla compat version.

                         While this map targets Vanilla Doom (no VPOs, etc),
                         I highly suggest playing in a port that increases the
                         sprite limit, as this map was designed ignoring the limit.
                         Technically this map can run and play demos in Vanilla Doom,
                         but I can't say it's exactly playable in Vanilla (due to
                         the sprite limit).

                         This map is supposed to be hard. If it's too hard on Ultra-
                         Violence, don't feel bad dropping down a difficulty or two.

                         A very special thanks to our testers:

===========================================================================

--- Port Compatibility ---   :

                        Play and record demos on -complevel 2
                        (Especially on PrBoom Plus)

                        ZDoom based ports, Eternity, DSDA Doom, and Woof-based ports
                        have compatibility settings applied automatically.

                        If using the Eternity Engine, make sure you are using
                        devbuild 4.03.00 or higher. - https://devbuilds.drdteam.org/eternity/
                        (There is a game-breaking bug in the current 4.02.00
                        stable build as of now).

===========================================================================

--- How to launch ---   :

                        For source ports:
                        use slottrvt.wad (-complevel 2). DEHACKED is directly
                        embedded in the wad file.

                        For Vanilla Doom/MS-DOS:
                        you must patch your own doomhack.exe yourself
                        with Dehacked (version 1.9 of Doom2.wad is required,
                        even for Chocolate Doom users)

--- Additional Files ---   :

                        slottrvt_ws.wad - optional for ports that support
                        widescreen graphics.
