Email Address      : DarynW8@mcs.net
Misc. Author Info  : This is a merger of the new graphics and insults
                     of Lo Wang from Shadow Warrior into Duke Nukem 3D   

Description        : DUKE VERSUS LO WANG !!!!!
                     Duke must take on Lo Wang in a fight to the death.
                     Watch out, because if Lo Wang's rapid fire uzi doesn't
                     cut you into chunks, he will slice you into Duke sushi
                     with his ninja sword!

                     This is a graphics and sound patch for Duke Nukem Atomic
                     Version 1.4.  The graphics and sounds of the pigcops in
                     Duke3D are replaced with Lo Wang graphics and sounds from
                     Shadow Warrior.

Additional Credits to  : 3D Realms, for making two awesome games and Ken
Silverman for making his editing utilities available to all.

*Play Information*

Single Player        :yes - level must have pigcops
DukeMatch Level      :yes - level must have pigcops
Difficulty Settings  :does not apply


*Construction*

Base                 : will work with any level that contains pigcops
Editor used          : editart.exe  kextract.exe
known bugs           : pigcops in recon cars still look like pigcops, but
                       become Lo Wang when the car is shot down.  Next
                       version will have edited graphics to put Lo Wang in
                       the car and perhaps a more lethal weapon or two.

*How to use the patch*

The EXE file is a self-extracting ZIP file containing the following files:
     TILES015.ART     - Contains the new artwork for Lo Wang
     DUKEWANG.TXT     - This file
     GAME.CON         - Modified script code
     USER.CON         -         "
     DEFS.CON         -         "
     ????.VOC         - A whole bunch of *.voc (ie sound) files

To use the patch, follow the following procedure:
        1) copy DUKEATOM.EXE into your Duke3D directory
        2) MAKE BACKUPS OF YOUR EXISTING CON FILES !!
           ie "ren GAME.CON GAME.BAK" etc
        3) type "DUKEATOM" AT THE DOS PROMPT, AND THE FILE WILL SELF-EXTRACT
        4) type "DUKE3D" to launch, and start fragging Lo Wang!
        5) after you're done, rename the backup CON files to restore them

For those interested, here is how I created this patch.  First, I extracted
the *.ART and *.VOC files from the "SW.GRP" file that was part of the shareware
version.  Next, I used EDITART to extract the 50+ Lo Wang tiles as *.PCX
files.  The PCX images were about 2X the size of a normal Duke enemy, so I used
PaintShop Pro to shrink them and save them as *.GIF files (for some reason,
EDITART wouldn't properly read the PCX files after they were edited.)

Next, I used EDITART on the Duke3D *.ART files and inserted the Lo Wang tiles
beginning at tilenumber 3841.  Finally, I modified the three CON files to
rewrite the pigcop code and to insert the new sounds.
