Anonymous	I agree with Fancy Q.	x
Anonymous	The comment above me is gonna be pissed when I say this. This is very helpful if you dislike the marine sprites in a WAD but like everything else and still want to have something like the default marines. -Fancy Q	x
Anonymous	Obviously the creator doesn't know how to set his player color. This also messes up co-op games because you have no idea who anybody is, Indigo could be talking but all you can think of is "which red is doing that?"	x

	RedGuy - Marine Graphics Patch
  ----------------------------------

Files Included:

REDGUY.BAT   - Backs up your original player sprites, and installs
 				   the REDGUY.
	OLDGUY.BAT   - Restores your original player sprites.
	README.TXT   - Your lookin' at it.
	PLAYxxxx.GIF - Red player graphics.

Note:

Ok, I really made this for personal use, so the Batch files are quick
	and dirty.  Be sure to check your path.  If it's not C:\DOOM then 
	you'll have to load your favorite text editor and do a FIND/REPLACE
	to insert the correct path.

Also, this is for DOOM 1.666, I know nothing of DOOM II.  May work,
	may not.  Never tried it.  Probably never will.  Have a nice day!

Installation:

Make sure you have DOOM :)

Make sure you have DMGRAPH.  Can be found at your nearest DOOM FTP
	Mirror site or at infant2.sphs.indiana.edu

REDGUY.ZIP should be unzipped to your DOOM directory.  The batch
	files assume your game directory is C:\DOOM, see note above.

Back up your DOOM.WAD if your a nervous camper.  Even if your not,
	all responsibility is yours.

Run REDGUY.BAT

Thats it, your ready to play.

Removal:

Simply run OLDGUY.BAT to restore original player sprites.  However, 
	I have not done this yet.  Should work fine.

Note 2:

Use at your own risk.  Make sure you have backups.  I assume no
	responsibility for ANY mishaps, errors, muck-ups, or acts of GOD!
	Had to be said.

Note 3:

In fairness and moral goodness, I should note that the cross on the 
	players back is not mine.  I would like to give proper credit to
	the person who added it but I no longer have this vital morsel of
	information.

Note 4:

Many people have expressed interest in having this patch in PWAD form
	instead of having to install the GIFs in the DOOM.WAD.  Well, I'd like
	that as well.  I have tried it in PWAD form but every time my opponents
	Marine is completely invisible and within a few minutes, the game
	crashes violently.  I'm not very fimiliar with graphics in PWADS 
	so if some kind PWAD guru can get it working, I'd appreciate a copy!

Final Note:

Enjoy-              	daron@tyrell.net
