Description:	This level was designed as a deathmatch level. It can, however, be very challenging if you play it one-player. I was using a DeHacked version of Doom2 while I made this, and it's set up for use with it. Without it, you'll probably want to use the IDKFA code for ammo, since you're gonna run out long before you kill the monsters. This level lends itself to mostly arena-style combat, which is my favorite.
Credits:	Chris "Red" Schneider and Jason "Potsy" Poncerolli, along with the rest of the guys for their input, play testing, and encouragement, and Id software for making one of the best games on Earth (and in Hell.)
Base:	New level from scratch (Actually, I built from S1.wad, one of the PWADs included with DEU.)
Build time:
Editor(s) used:	ADE (an edited version of DEU)
Bugs:	There are some minor texture glitches in the smiley rooms, and by the northeast teleporter in the square arena. They shouldn't bother gameplay, but if anyone knows how to fix them, please send me some e-mail.

HAPYDTH2 - Have a Nice Day (version 2) - for DOOM II v1.9

This is a modified version of HAPPYDTH.ZIP

Original author     :  Jeff Mitchell             Mitchjp@wkuvx1.wku.edu
Version 2 Update by :  Sparky of KISS Software   kelm@eisa.net.au

Mods made by Sparky of KISS Software:
------------------------------------
- got rid of the illegal doom2.exe (v1.666) file and created an
  equivalent .deh file (patch format 6 for compatability with Doom II
  v1.9 and the various Doom Ports).
- made all the weapons unlimited ammo instead of just large ammo numbers
- I didn't recreate the chaingun exactly because the original version
  used the chaingun for both weapons 2 and 3  i.e. there was no Super
  Shotgun!  As the Super Shotgun is one of my favourite weapons, I just
  had to add that in and speed it up too.
- fixed the map faults which were causing the HOM errors.
- slightly moved the single-player start position so it was a little
  more sensible, and added a Super Shotgun at the start (the main arena
  was no fun at all with the rocket launcher).

Tested okay with:
----------------
Deathmatch
   This update was only tested with Doom Legacy's split-screen
   multiplayer mode.

Single player
   'Plain Vanilla' Doom II v1.9 - you'll need DeHackEd v3.1 or greater
   ZDoom v1.17c             zdoom -deh hapydth2 -file hapydth2
   Boom v2.02               boom -deh hapydth2 -file hapydth2
   Legacy v1.28 (DOS)       doom3 -file hapydth2.deh hapydth2.wad
   Legacy v1.28 (Win32)     legacy -file hapydth2.deh hapydth2.wad

Single-player Notes:
-------------------
- the exit - this is one of the dumbest exits I have ever seen on any
  level!  The square area outside the arena has a teleporter in each
  corner.  Entering each teleporter from a different side takes you to
  a different location.  The exit door can be seen from the main arena
  but you have to get there from one of the teleporters in the outside
  courtyard.  Go to the teleporter in the north east corner of the
  outside courtyard and enter the teleporter from the west side.
  Enter slowly because when you appear in the inner courtyard you can't
  move forward at all! Turn around carefully and there's the exit door!
- the outside courtyard - the upper area where the chaingunners are is
  not accessible in single-player mode. The doors you can see up there
  lead to the multiplayer start areas.
- the new fast Super Shotgun is pretty cool - while you're dodging
  the Cyberdemon's rockets, checkout the blood trail he leaves behind.

Enjoy.
