Section 1): Submissions/questions
To submit information to this faq, you need to make sure it is ascii text, 
(write it in notepad) and full screen. This faq intends to just be text based 
for the moment. Mail information as zipped attachments if it is pages long or 
as the e-mail itself if it is short. Your name and e-mail address will be put 
alongside the information as credits when in the faq. The address (for the 
moment) is shelves@london.crosswinds.net. Another address to mail to is: 
hakx@geocities.com but I don't check that mail every week.
-------------------------------------------------

2): What this faq is and isn't and what you will need
This faq isn't intended to be universal, you will need Boom (at the moment 
there is only a beta version) and deth4.12. You may need to enable the Boom 
editing feature in Deth. 
This faq is written by doomers for doomers. It is assumed that you already 
play and level edit doom. You will need to be proficient in deth level 
editing, this isn't a guide on deth's keys and menus -but where necessary 
they will be mentioned.
And finally -if you're reading this windowed, maximise the window.

And now down to the good stuff (what there is of it!):
Section 4): Conveyor belts
Conveyor belts: by David Wood (hakx)

1) Make three sectors joined together like this: 
(use the prefab function of deth 64x64 size rectangle) 
______ ______ ______ 
| | | | 
| 0 | 1 | 2 | 
|______|______|______|

2) If you've started a new level then the sectors will be named 0, 1 and 2. 
Tag sector 1 "1", the first tag available on a new level.

3) Go into vertex mode and make 2 vertexes, probably called 8 and 9.

4) Go into linedef mode and make a new line def, by pressing insert. Connect 
it between the new vertices 8 and 9.

5) Tag the linedef "1", so it is linked, via the tags, to sector 1.

6) Give the linedef a type. The type used in tnt's example wad 'dawning' is 
253. You can get to this in deth by press control+T when you have the 
linedef selected, then select vectors, then the options are all there. 
Type 253 is near to the bottom of the vectors window.

7) The last, important, thing to do is point the linedef in the direction 
you want the conveyor belt to go. This is done by moving the vertices of 
the linedef (in vertex mode) and then seeing what direction the linedef 
is pointing in linedef mode.
