Description:	This wad file will replace the chainsaw in Id Software's Doom ][ with a lightsaber, as in the movie Star Wars. I put a fair amount of time into this thing and I hope you like it as much I do. And a note before you go on: this wad file was created with the graphics from Claude Martins SWLSABER patch for the original DOOM. All I did was add sound and convert it for use with DOOM 2. I would like to thank Mr. Martins for his work and his help in teaching me how this stuff works.

It looks like a green popsicle.

DISCLAIMER
  
This wad file is not a product of Id, anything that may happen from this 
program is not their responsibility, and they will NOT give technical 
support for it.

I am not liable for any damage(s) this wad file may cause to you hardware or 
software--but I don't think you should worry too much.

This wad file is not under any warantee of any kind.  This wad file was tested 
on a computer with the requirements for DOOM, and is not guaranteed to work on 
anything more or less, regardless of whether or not DOOM does work on your 
computer.

LEGAL STUFF

DOOM 2 is a copyright of ID Software.

****************************************************************************
To run Doom ][ with the lightsaber:

-Unzip saber.zip to the directory where Doom 2 is located
-Run saberbld.bat (this will build the saber wad file)
-If you want, you can delete the saberbld.bat, saberaw.wad, and deusf.exe files
-make sure the saber.wad file in the directory where Doom 2 is located on 
 your hard drive (or another directory of your choice), and run doom2.exe with 
 the -file parameter

C:\DOOM2\doom2 -file saber.wad
		  or
	C:\DOOM2\doom2 -file c:\dir\saber.wad
	  (where "DOOM2" is the directory where Doom 2 is and "dir" is 
	   where the saber.wad file is.)

****************************************************************************        
	
	On the off chance that you'd like a patch that installs the graphics
directly into the doom2.wad (it can also remove them if you so choose), I 
have saberpat.zip available upon request. 
	If you liked this one, or even if you didn't, I also have another 
weapon replacement for Doom ][ (in both wad and patch form) that puts the 
Lightning Gauntlet from Heretic (also by id software) in for the chainsaw.  It 
should be up in AOL's library soon so you might want to look for it.
	Almost all of the credit goes to Claude Martins for the excellent         
graphics.  Some credit also goes to GFXArtisan.  His Laser Doom2 patch provided 
me with the idea and understanding of the whole process (you might want to d/l 
it and check it out--it's pretty cool; it can be found in AOL's software 
library). 
	Thanks to the boys at id software and to you for tryin' this thing out.
