ZDoom - an enhanced port of Doom for Windows 95/NT
        by Randy Heit (rheit@usa.net)
        based on Id Software's original Linux Sources of December 23, 1997.

This archive contains binaries for version 1.16.

Changes from version 1.14a to 1.16 include:

Bug fixes:
* No more limit on size of savegames or demos.
* Screen resolutions above 320x200 are now the proper brightness (they were
  too bright before.)
* Improved the brightness of the console font.
* Bullet puffs can show up on the floor and ceiling and not just walls.
* Missile weapons can trigger gun activation lines.
* Barrels now bounce around as much as they did in original DOOM. (They were
  too "inert" in 1.14.)
* If a demo is being recorded, quitting the game normally will save the demo
  to disk. (Previously, you had to use the stop command to do this.)

New features for players:
* Proper support for BOOM maps.
* Mouse wheel support and weapnext/weapprev commands.
* Doublebindings.
* Better analog joystick support.
* 180 degree turn command for keyboarders.
* Damage done by a rocket to its shooter is configurable and defaults to the
  original Doom behavior.
* User-configurable gender. (Even though I don't have any new player sounds,
  at least the obituaries are gender-aware. :-)
* Teamplay mode.
* New cvar to disable manual aiming of the BFG to prevent someone from
  shooting it at the floor and quickly triggering tracer damage before.
* Maps no longer need to have as many deathmatch starts as there are players
  in a deathmatch game.
* Support for Doom Legacy skins.
* Rewrote the MIDI/MUS code so that it has a working volume control.
* Many more console commands and cvars.

New features for editors:
* Proper support for BOOM maps.
* Obituaries are configurable with a .bex patch.
* Moster paths
* Colored lighting
* Fog can be applied to only part of a level instead of all of it.
* Per-sector gravity settings.
* Support for up to 256 ambient sounds (as opposed to the limit of 64 in
  earlier versions).
* Sector damage adjustable from between 0-255 points of damage.
* Changable camera views.
* The following editing features that were introduced in Hexen are also
  available in ZDoom:
  - Most line specials take arguments that modify their behavior.
  - ACS scripting.
  - Hubs.
  - Earthquakes.
  - Dormant monsters.
  - Trigger events to happen on monster deaths.
  - "Waggling" floors.
  - Pillar builders.
  - Push activation lines (walking into a wall can trigger an event).
  - Thing spawning (e.g. for traps/gifts).

Significant differences between ZDoom and regular Doom:

- Will work under Windows NT with sound.
- Free look (look up/down).
- High resoulutions.
- Translucency.
- A console.
- MOD and MIDI support.
- Better mouse support.
- Limited TCP/IP networking.
- Quake-style key bindings.
- Jumping.
- Crosshairs.
- Walk over/under monsters.
