* The Bugs and Issues Section *

- I had to use a bit of a dirty hack on the SMG37 and Skorpion's melee
  attacks, so that you can't just hold the melee button and bash away
  at the monsters. The side effect of this is that you might have
  to click the alt-fire button more than once to attack - just get
  used to hammering the alt-fire button and it won't be an issue.
- The arms indicators and the ammo numbers on the status bar were
  intentionally blanked in the wad, because they would not do
  any good to the player anyway.
- The speedhypo powerup (replaces Invis) might allow you to cheat a
  fair number of levels by jumping gaps you're not supposed to jump.
- If you are carrying the RPK and have it set-up when you die, you'll
  see yourself un-setting the gun while you fall to the floor. This is
  unfixable.
- Try as I might, I could not figure out a way to make the combat-boost
  hypo select the fists for you on pick-up. Also, they don't last all
  level like Doom's berserk pack does (this is intentional).

* Wads That This Set Does Not Work With *

- Super Sonic Doom (sonic.wad)
  Even after making a small "patch" wad that replaced all of TUD's
  dummy weapon pickups and marine enemies, I was unable to make the
  Diaz weapons and items appear in the game. I guess that'll make my
  next big project to make a weapon mod that actually works with SSD.
- Several, several other ZDoom wads
  Even if ww-diaz.wad is loaded last, after all the maps, the
  inventory setup scripts tend to screw up, and the player doesn't
  get the Diaz weapons. So no, you can't play RTC3057 with this.
