Other Files by Author   : stvcage.wad - a great DOOM2 level

Additional Credits      : My family and girlfriend for their patience.
			: Al Howe and Billy "Blaze" Price for helping me
			  playtest these and all my other levels. 
			: All the authors for all the editors and other
			  utilities I used for creation.
			: Everyone at Id Software for allowing people like
			  me to create my own world!  Not to mention a great
			  game!
			
Description of Level 1  : A square layout, with high corners and 4 side rooms.
			  You will love this level if you like specters and
			  invulnerability.  When playing deathmatch, watch 
			  out for players who like to stakeout.

			  Its appearance ranks a 6.

			  Try starting with just the pistol and see how far
			  you can get.  On Ultraviolence, it ranks a 4 for
			  hardness. 

			  A fun level for 1-player or co-op, lots of fun for
			  deathmatch.

Description of Level 2  : A 3-tiered level with many criss-crossing hallways.
			  Plenty of running and everyone keeps falling into
			  the center room.  Can you get the Megasphere?

			  Its appearance ranks a 7.

			  Try starting with just the pistol and see how far
			  you can get.  On Ultraviolence, it ranks a 5 for
			  hardness.  I can do it with 3 100%'s and 200%-200% 
			  health and armor in about 15 minutes.

			  A fun level for 1-player or co-op, lots of fun for
			  deathmatch.

Description of Level 3  : A long walkway with weapons on ledges at the ends.
			  Once you walk off the ledge, you can't go back or
			  hide.  A simple level with the most effective, 
			  frag filled deathmatch action I've ever seen.  It's
			  easy to rack up 400 frags in an hour.  And expect
			  lots of negative frags - once you fall off the
			  walkway, you're a gonner - but don't worry, 
			  everyone's falling off.  This level is guaranteed
			  to teach you how to use and dodge the BFG.

			  Its appearance ranks a 3, but it's one of the best
			  deathmatch levels I've ever played.

			  Unfortunately, this level is not a playable one
			  player level - you just get to look, and then hit
			  the end switch.

			  An interesting level for co-op, one of the best
			  deathmatch levels of all time!!!

Description of Level 4  : A small square room with lava in the center.  You 
			  get to use the Chaingun and BFG, which do you think 
			  is better?  You'll be surprised!

			  Its appearance ranks a 5.

			  This is a playable 1-player level, but it's very
			  short and simple.  Can you find the exit?

			  A short level for 1-player or co-op, lots of fun 
			  for deathmatch.

Instructions            : Put STVDM.WAD in your DOOM 2 directory, type
			  "doom2 -file stvdm.wad -warp 1 -skill <#>"
			  Yes, it really is that easy!                                
			  If you want to go straight to the Labrynth,  
			  Fragathon, or Volcano, type "-warp 2", "-warp 3", 
			  or "warp 4" respectively instead of "warp 1".

Disclaimer              : I'm sorry if these levels cause you any problems,
			  but I'm not responsible for any problems you might
			  experience related to the use of these levels.
