Author:	Tim J. Ash (TIMinator)
Description:	This is a DOOM2 remake of my DOOM single player level, APOCLPSE. New creatures were added, old DOOM textures replaced, a few new secrets, and the SSG. Note: this WAD is much harder than the DOOM version was. Good Luck.
Credits:	Dave King, for playtesting for me. The authors of DEU, and BSP, and of course, ID software.
Base:	New level from scratch, approx 30 hours.
Build time:
Editor(s) used:	DEU 5.22 and BSP 1.2
Bugs:	One strange one I can't get rid of... In the elevator room before the blue doors, the player's perspective seems to sink as though stepping off of a stair. However, the entire room has the same floor height. You appear to 'sink' into the floor! Anybody know what causes this? Other than that, no known bugs.

Known Bugs              : One strange one I can't get rid of...
                          In the elevator room before the blue
                          doors, the player's perspective seems
                          to sink as though stepping off of a stair.
                          However, the entire room has the same floor
                          height.  You appear to 'sink' into the floor!
                          Anybody know what causes this?  Other than
                          that, no known bugs.

* Copyright / Permissions *

Authors may NOT use this level as a base to build additional
levels.

(One of the following)

You MAY distribute this WAD, provided you include this file, with
no modifications.  You may distribute this file in any electronic
format (BBS, Diskette, CD, etc) as long as you include this file 
intact.

* Where to get this WAD *

ftp.cdrom.com/pub/doom2/levels
ftp.usis.com/pub/users/TIMinator

* Hints for this wad:

To run this new level, copy the WAD file to your DOOM2 directory and type:

DOOM2 -FILE APOCLPS2.WAD -SKILL x -WARP 1

Where x is the skill level you wish to play (1-5).

Any comments or feedback would be greatly appreciated.  They inspire me
to start new WADs.

One major hint here: You have to find the Catacomb section of this PWAD
for all the good weapons.  Up until then, you will be using the small
stuff only.  For a real challenge, try finishing the level without entering
the Catacombs (there are no keys in the Catacombs).
  In my DOOM version of this PWAD, I had included a demo.  In this version
I chose not to include one because a) they take up too much room, and b)
they give away all the tricks to the wad.  If you really need help finishing
this wad (without cheating), email me.

stuff... l8tr...
