Misc. Author Info       : Never made a Heretic map before this.

Description             : A whole new dimension of UnAligned! The death of
                         the Icons of Sin shattered reality and thrust you
                         into a strange dimension of swords and sorcery.
                         Now you must survive three distinct, dastardly
                         episodes and defeat the three D'Sparils!

                         UnBeliever is a three-episode, vanilla Heretic
                         megaWAD where each episode offers a different
                         gameplay experience and are designed to be played
                         in any order. E1 has lots of gimmicky combat
                         scenarios, mostly focused on Heretic's unique
                         gadgets. E2's maps are ultra short and action-
                         packed, built with only 100 linedefs a piece.
                         And E3's trials require quick thinking and
                         quicker reflexes.

* Construction *

Base                    : None
Build Time              : Built primarily in November of 2018, with
                         additional work done sporadically from the
                         the following December through June
Editor(s) used          : Doom Builder X, SLADE3
Known Bugs              : 1) The WAD contains a DECORATE fix for ZDoom-
                            family ports which tries to approximate
                            vanilla behavior of explosive gasbags, as well
                            as correcting the amount of damage that
                            D'Sparil should take from crushers (both of
                            which are central to how E3M8 plays). The fix
                            is close but not perfect, so if you want the
                            "authentic" experience of this map, play in
                            vanilla or Chocolate.
                         2) An HHE patch is included in the zip for use
                            with vanilla and Chocolate Heretic, which
                            contains new map and episode titles. However,
                            there is a bug in Chocolate Heretic where the
                            new titles will be overridden by the original
                            map titles on the intermission screen. In
                            addition, because of the limits of the format,
                            some of the titles had to be shortened. Any
                            port that supports MAPINFO will display the
                            full, correct titles. Otherwise, refer to the
                            section below for a complete list.
                         3) GZDoom has a bug where you can fall off some
                            parts of the invisible platforms in E3M2 but
                            don't fall all the way into the lava below.
                         4) Some objects flicker in and out when playing
                            in vanilla or any ports that cap the number of
                            sprites onscreen. Most noticeable in E2M8 and
                            E3M8.
                         5) Pretty minor drawseg overflows in E3M7, in
                            addition to visual glitches with the sky if
                            you get up high enough.
