Description             : Sound, and (some) music/graphics replacements
                          PWAD for commercial DOOM II - Hell On Earth
                          (WORKS with the new 1.9* series).

Notes                   : These WADs were specially created for use with
                          DOOM II.  THIS IS THE FINAL EDITION OF THE 
                                    DOOM GOLD WAD SERIES!

DGLD15.WAD:                         
                          This will take advantage of the DOOM2.WAD
                          structure and change a few sounds, music tracks
                          and graphics that were in the original DOOM II,
                          for the better.

DGLD15-B.WAD:
                          This will do the same as above and will also turn
                          on the lights.  For those of you who hate the
                          flickering or dark areas almost as much as you
                          hate typing IDBEHOLD time after time throughout
                          the game.  NOTE:  This may be considered cheating.

Try playing DOOM II without either PWAD included.
                          Then, try it with the Doom Gold 15 PWAD of your
                          choice.  I think you'll agree the game is much 
                          enhanced with the addition of either of these
                          WADs!

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

* Play Information *

Episode and Level #     : N/A (incorporates changes throughout entire game)
Single Player           : Yes
Cooperative 2-4 Player  : Yes
Deathmatch 2-4 Player   : Yes
Difficulty Settings     : Yes
New Sounds              : Yes (Many of the weapons, environment & monsters)
New Graphics            : Yes (A few textures, the status bar, some screens)
New Music               : Yes (Most tracks)
Demos Replaced          : None

* Play Hints *          : You may use this wad with other PWADs........
                          However to get the most complete DOOM GOLD 15
                          effect possible, it is suggested that you load
                          one of these DOOM GOLD WADs AFTER any other PWAD.

EXAMPLE:  doom2 -file this.wad that.wad DGLD15(-B).WAD

NOTE:  Some DOOM GOLD sounds are shorter than
                          the original DOOM II sounds.  For this reason,
                          you may find a few weapons (like the rocket
                          launcher for instance), will fire and cycle at
                          a faster rate.  Not all original sounds are
                          replaced by these WADs, therefore, sounds may
                          vary according to what sounds may be replaced
                          by other PWADs you're using.  Loading DOOM
                          GOLD last will insure that all DOOM GOLD sounds
                          will be active no matter what sounds other WADS
                          change.
 
                          ALSO, if your game runs choppy try de-fragmenting
                          the hard drive on which the game resides.  The
                          less the game must search for data the faster
                          game can run.  The CPU you run will make a real
                          difference.

NEXT, enabling the Smart Drive program and giving
                          it as much memory as you can will speed things
                          along.  I give Smart Drive 3 1/2 megs of RAM, like
                          this:  SMARTDRV 3500  Of course, it doesn't hurt
                          to have gobs of RAM.

Lastly, to get the game to run even smoother you
                          may wish to use DOOM II's -turbo switch (see D-II
                          docs).  Keep in mind this is considered cheating
                          in single player mode.  In multi-player games, be
                          sure all players are running at the same -turbo
                          speed.

* Construction *

Base                    : DGLD14(-B).WADs

Base-2                  : The nifty status bar (with some modifications of
                          my own to do with the player death icon) as well 
                          as a few textures come from a PWAD which is called 
                          SUPERDM.WAD by Bob Moeller.

Known Bugs              : None found in testing.

SPECIAL NOTE TO id Software!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heard a nasty rumor the QUAKE will only run on a Pentium.  If true, this
will be a giant step away from your customers.  Many can afford your games
but not if they'll need to buy a more expensive platform to run them.  I
figure you'll lose about 2/3 of your customers by not optimizing QUAKE to
run on a 486 platform.  Please think about it!

SPECIAL NOTE TO id Software!!!!!!!!!!!!
