Description             : The first Strife pwad available on the internet as
                          far as I know.  This is a good size deathmatch
                          level that should be suitable for anywhere from 2
                          to 8 players.

                          Two player performance tested with a 700mhz comp
                          connected to a 120mhz comp with a 19200 serial
                          connection and it ran good.  I tried to keep the
                          detail at reasonably medium level, not too high or
                          too low.

                          Multiplayer varies substantially in Strife opposed
                          to Doom.  I suggest reading the additional gameplay
                          notes further down in this text file and also
                          Strife's multi.txt.

                          I recommend patching Strife up to v1.31.

Changes from first version : Fixed some a practically unnoticable error
                               resulting in unclosed sectors (Thanks for
                               pointing them out, Deep).
                             Changed and aligned many textures.
                             Adjusted light levels.
                             Switched some assault guns and crossbows.
                             Added some more detail.
                             Added a way to get berserk punch once (but you
                               can always exit and come back to the level to
                               reset it)
                             Replaced a demo.

Additional Credits to   : Phoenix for recording a demo with me (when he had
                            only played Strife for the first time just the
                            night before).
                          Albert Dewey for a 3D cross trick in his
                            evildog2.wad (map01 of heroes2.wad) for Doom 2
                            that I used a slight variation of in this level.
                          id for Doom 2 map18 which this level contains a
                            courtyard modeled roughly after.

* Additional Gameplay Notes *

When using parameters with Strife, remember that the exe is strife1.exe.
Strife.bat of course will not pass on parameters.

Strife's multiplayer mode seems to be deathmatch only with no way to play
cooperative.  As far as I know, coop player starts 2 through 8 are completely
pointless, but I still put them in just in case.

You can fake multiplayer like this:

ipxsetup -nodes 1 -file lamasery.wad -altdeath -warp 1 -skill 3

Also, Strife's default start map is really map02, the Town, while this wad
replaces map01, the Sanctuary.  So exiting this map will take you to the town
while a couple exits there will bring you back to this map.

On skill 3 only I put teleport beacons by the player starts.  Different
players can summon their own armies of allies and once a player fires on an
enemy, all out war will break out between the different sides.  Strife
defaults to skill 2 if you don't use the -skill parameter.

I suggest using DeathManager (dm.exe) from Doom for launching Strife
multiplayer games.
