* General Information *

This texture pack aims to greatly enhance mapping possibilities while keeping the original
look and feel of Doom/Doom 2 graphic design. It feature 64*128 px textures versions of
almost² all the original games' flats. Similarly, almost² every textures has been turned into
flat versions. But there's more! All flats have been made seamless in all 4 sides and most of them are proposed in 2 or 4 different orientations.

The archive contains 4 variants, one for each IWAD (Doom / Doom 2 / Tnt / Plutonia):
 - The Doom variant (D1FTFv*) has less textures/flats than the others, to match originally
   available textures
 - Plutonia and Tnt variants (PluFTFv* and TntFTFv*) have the same textures as Doom 2 variant
   only the TEXTURE1 and PNAMES lumps are different in order to match the IWADs ones. That
   means you won't find for example flat versions of Tnt custom textures, and the flaterized
   FIRELAV texture is the one from Doom 2 (red and blue) and not Plutonia.

Also, every variant is proposed in 2 versions:
 - v1 is a lighter version that purposefully omits animated flats/textures. It is to
               use for maps that are meant to be playable with vanilla Doom.
 - v2 holds an ANIMATED lump and features extra animated flats/textures. Compatible
           with Boom, (G)ZDoom, and any other port that support ANIMATED lumps.

To use this pack in your favourite editor, you need to load it after its corresponding IWAD.

If you have any suggestion, spot any problem, or just want to praise me and make me feel good,
feel free to send me a email. ;P

² Some flat/textures were purposefully omitted because I thought their conversion was
  irrelevant.
