                          CDs and get them back on the 'net.  Something for
                          the oldschoolers out there.
                          This is the "modernized" text file, filled in with

Since I lost ALL objects (except for teleports) in the conversion 
I made a few design changes on the level.  The exit to the NW duckblind is 
a lot easier to run over (important if you have a slower computer).  The 
lighting is a little cleaned up in some places.  However I like dark
cubbyholes, so you'll still see them. Now if ID would add a dank odor }:->
All weapons and ammo are in the courtyard.  All health and armor are in the 
castle, with the exception of some on a platform in the courtyard which is 
accessed from the castle (hence no Wings of Wrath).  And all items are on 
platforms accessed from the courtyard.  Hey, everybody has done something 
original but me, till now...  The reason I organized things this way is so 
you have to keep moving from area to area to keep loaded up.  I also added 
two markers for the door to the lava room (where you get access to the NW 
Duckblind), I always thought this room was too easy to get into.

If you pass this to a buddy for a Deathmatch slugfest you may not 
want to let them know (at first) that the Invulnerability Ring on the 
central pillar is unreachable.  Let them bash their brains in a vain 
attempt to get to it... (GRIN)  Just make sure you give them the complete 
cortdeth.zip file after you're done with them.

We are all creatures of the shadows in our hearts, I'm j�st proud of it.
