Description:	I have always loved Action Doom's weapons. Unfortunately, due to all the other dehackiness of the wad, I was unable to use the weapons with any other wad. I finally got so sick and tired of that feeling that I started this: a port of all of Action Doom's weapons in a form that can be used on anything. Now, I finished the darn thing. Some of these guns are the same as the original ones, while others are modified a bit. Of course, I added a few new ones, as always, but they act quite a bit differently than Action Doom's guns. Sure, this may seem like a simple rip-off, but I had to painstakingly re- create each and every one of these weapons by hand. Anyway, I think that this weaponset is one of the coolest I've ever made. I hope you agree as well. :P Also look for an update to Warzone in the future.
Credits:	Scuba Steve!!! Almost all the weapons were based off his guns for Action Doom, and he did all the weapon graphics except for one weapon which uses ripped Dark Forces graphics. The sounds are from a variety of wads, mostly Daniel's Armas series and his 99weap.zip. Thanks alot!!! Special thanks to MasterOFDeath for Betatesting and stuff! Heh. :P
Base:	See "additional credits" above, DEHACKED is my work. :P
Build time:	Longer than we had hoped. :P
Editor(s) used:	Wintex, XWE, Paint Shop Pro (7), Windows Paint (lol), Dehacked, Notepad, etc.
Bugs:	Will not run at all with Zdoom .90 or later, due to missing DEHSUPP support. ARGHness. :(

Additional Credits to   : Scuba Steve!!! Almost all the weapons were based
                          off his guns for Action Doom, and he did all the
                          weapon graphics except for one weapon which uses
                          ripped Dark Forces graphics. The sounds are from

===========================================================================

* Weapons *

1: KNIFE

Action Doom's Knife with that cool motion blur. Yay!

2: ACTION PISTOL

A pistol that is actually powerful! It uses its own ammo type and can be a
dependable weapon to fall back to. Taken from Action Doom.

3: SPREAD GUN

A gun that shoots out a spread of 5 plasma shots that do a considerable amount
of damage. Use this alot. Taken from Action Doom.

4: HEAVY ASSAULT RIFLE

A fast weapon that rips through baddies quickly, but also does the same to ammo.
Taken from Action Doom.

5: MISSILE LAUNCHER

Ouch. This thing has an extremely wide explosion radius that can take out most
baddies in a couple of shots. It loses most of its effectiveness on boss enemies,
though. Taken from Action Doom.

6: FLAMETHROWER

Burn, baby, burn! This thing is powerful as hell, but doesn't shoot very far. :P
Taken from Action Doom.

7: BFG 8080 PROTOTYPE

Hell yes! It shoots out a bunch of deadly blasts that fly around, ripping apart
anything in its path. It uses its own ammo supply that is dropped by certain
bio-mechanical monsters. Taken from Action Doom (although the original didn't
do much of anything. :P).

8: PLASMA RAIN INDUCER

Fires a slightly-homing projectile that calls forth a deadly plasma rain storm
upon impact. Very useful indeed. Graphics from Dark Forces.

9: ENERGY GUN

Shoots out a beam of energy that melts baddies up close. It's not an Action
Doom weapon, but it still uses Scuba Steve's graphics.
