Author:	Enjay and Mark Matheson
Description:	32 level doom2 replacement originally done for doom 1 and updated since then. 3 levels based on Mark's work 2 secret levels constructed by Enjay but using original Wolfenstein maps as the basic plan (printed out using a very old text mode program called wolfmap). All levels either from scratch or tinkered with by Enjay.
Credits:	ID Software, (Where would we be without them? Randy Heit, for ZDOOM. All the people who have produced the various editing tools I have used, and the DOOM community in general.
Base:	Levels 01-32 Scratch levels Levels 31 and 32 are my versions of the same Wolfenstein levels as Id used for the original secrets, but I tried to make more accurate versions of them (64x64x64 layout etc.) I toyed with including a modified SS guy sprite and DEH patch to make him look and behave like the Brown Nazi from Wolfenstein, but eventually I decided to keep the SS guy 'cos he's tougher and WolfenDOOM has already done a superb job of a number of full Wolfenstein DOOM conversions. (So if you havn't tried WolfenDOOM, go get it ASAP.)
Build time:	Hard to say. A long time?
Editor(s) used:	Almost all of them. Some of these levels are almost as old as DOOM, so a lot of different editors have been used, but I usually use DEEP'97 these days.
Bugs:	A couple of the Polyobjects used to make the sliding Wolfenstein doors sometimes show through the walls when they move. I think this is a node building problem as different doors have the problem when I use different node builders. I have used a few tricks to fix as many of these as possible but one or two are still not perfect. It won't affect gameplay, and you might not even notice, but the problem is there.

doomedwarrior1981	not bad but not great would have given it a higher rating if new music was added and more Zdoom features	x
Anonymous	Aside from the secret levels, the maps here are largely the same overall layout as Enjay ZDoom 2001. Many are updates to the 1994 maps (Enjay Doom I and II) but a few were scrapped entirely for new levels. Compared to 2001 these levels aren't as detailed but they are far upgraded from 1994 (the upgrading from 1994 is easily more important/substantia l compared to any further updates they got in NJZD2001).	x
Anonymous	I like how the person above spells great. Anyway this series of levels was o.k. Nothing mind blowing, but not the worst I've played. Most levels really lack detail and the ZDoom features are too few and far between to make up for it. Many of the maps can be quickly played so shit doesn't get to boring. 7/20/07	x

IMPORTANT!!             : This WAD will run ONLY with ZDOOM 1.17b.
                          (the second version with the archvile
                          ghost ressurection bug fix)
                          You will also need to enable jumping in
                          Zdoom to complete some of the levels.

* Play Info *

Engine required         : ZDoom FOR DOOM II
Level #                 : Maps 01 to 32
Single Player           : Yes
Cooperative 2-4 Player  : Yes, just the starts.This was never
                          tested (but the previous DOOM2 version was).
Deathmatch 2-4 Player   : Yes (as above).
Difficulty Settings     : Yes. Easy is very easy, and the overall difficulty
                          is not as hard as some of the very hard wads out
                          there, but then I know where all the goodies and
                          monsters are waiting.

New Sounds              : Very little changed, A few player sounds to take
                          advantage of Zdoom's ability to use a different
                          sound for trying a locked door, hitting the ground,
                          jumping and trying a wall.  Plenty other sounds
                          added for ambience and sound sequences.
                          
New Graphics            : Floor/wall textures and a changed flaming barrel
                          graphic + skies and a few intermission pix etc.
                          You may be vaguely interested to know that the
                          picture of a ruined castle used in some of the
                          sky textures is a photo I took of Slains castle
                          in Scotland.  Bram Stoker spent some time in a
                          hotel a less than a mile from this castle and it
                          is fairly well accepted that this helped his mental
                          image of what Dracula's castle was like when he
                          wrote Dracula.

New Music               : No

Dehacked patch          : Yes, just a very simple one to make flaming barrels
                          explode (hence the changed sprite graphics).

Demos Replaced          : No, I like the fact ZDOOM will not try and show a
                          demo if it doesn't find a compatable one to play.

                          Levels 31 and 32 are my versions of the same 
                          Wolfenstein levels as Id used for the original
                          secrets, but I tried to make more accurate
                          versions of them (64x64x64 layout etc.) I toyed
                          with including a modified SS guy sprite and DEH
                          patch to make him look and behave like the Brown
                          Nazi from Wolfenstein, but eventually I decided
                          to keep the SS guy 'cos he's tougher and
                          WolfenDOOM has already done a superb job of a
                          number of full Wolfenstein DOOM conversions.  (So
                          if you havn't tried WolfenDOOM, go get it ASAP.)

Known Bugs              : A couple of the Polyobjects used to make the
                          sliding Wolfenstein doors sometimes show through
                          the walls when they move.  I think this is a node
                          building problem as different doors have the
                          problem when I use different node builders.  I
                          have used a few tricks to fix as many of these as

                          notice, but the problem is there.

Unknown Bugs            : Probably.  I found Zdoom was a little fussy about
                          the player 1 start being a high thing number, so
                          I made sure all the starts were quite low numbers
                          but the multi player modes have not been tested
                          under ZDOOM. (They used to work when these were
                          normal DOOM2 levels.)

These are my levels, so I own the copyright, but if it's good enough for Id,
it's certainly good enough for me, so if you want to use these levels for any
non profit making project, please do.  Please credit me though, and dropping
me a line would also show that you are a nice person.

Hope you like it
