Welcome to Doom Thing Edit(DTEdit) Version 1.10
-----------------------------------------------

Features
========
Alrighty, what you've all been waiting for.. A doom editor!  Of course, this
thing can't edit everything.. In fact, all it can edit is the items laying
around.  But you can do lots of things with those items such as:
1. move them around; place the boss guy right in front of the entrance!
2. change items; change that BFG 9000 into a big brain.
3. **Insert and Delete items; Put as many things as you want on a level!
4. change angle; make those rifle guys ambush!
5. save it all to your .wad file!
6. **Save and Load to individual .DTE files (very small.. Perfect for modem
transmission and making backups of your .wad)
7. New cursors, so you know when you're over an item, and when you're moving
an item.
** New for Version 1.10!

Future
------
1. Randomness; Define the ratio of items to enemies, enemies to powerups, etc
2. View/Import/Export item graphics
3. Save entire episodes to .dte files
4. Hopefully will get rid of the "mirror" effect on the map

Directions
==========
All you gotta do is place doomedit in the DOOM directory or any other directory,run doomedit filename;
Where filename is the name of the doom .wad file you wish to edit.
**Once you're in the mapeditor, press '?' for a list of available commands.

Keep in mind however, all changes are *PERMENANT* when saved to disk. A backup
of your last saved .dte is saved to BACKUP.DTE. Just to be on the safe side,
use the -b switch(explained below) to make backups of the different episodes.

Switches
--------
dtedit [-switches] .wad file name
Switches:
-b Create a backup .dte for each and all episodes.  Restore using 'l' in map
editor

Known bugs
----------
1. Everything in a "mirrored" fashion.  North is South, South is North; East
and West however are correct

ID
==
Finally, this program is adhering to IDs request that ALL editors only work
with the registered versions of games.  So in other words, it won't work with
the shareware version (if you somehow hack the .wad file to look like a 
registered .wad file, it won't work anyway because of the way doomedit is
structured).

Registration
============
Last thing.. Registration.. This program is NOT free but NOT shareware.
I call it Collegeware.  All I request is that you send a college
recommendation to me at one of my email accounts displayed at the end
doomedit when you exit.

All right.. I think that's it!  CYA next version!

Items.lst file
==============
The structure of it really isn't that hard.  Take a look, you'll understand
once you see it.  Try to make sure they stay in chronological order if you
find out somemore items, I know the list is not complete.  If one of you
guys gets a complete list of all the items, be a nice guy and upload it to
me and the place where you found doomedit.  I think we'll all love ya for it

Special Special Special Thanks to RoggerF for supplying the DOOM specs!
