Description             : STAR WARS DOOM!!!  Based on blueprints of 
                          sets built for the movie and as well as 
                          information contained in the SW RPG. These
                          are four of many Star Wars levels I am 
                          hoping to do, and I have replaced some of 
                          these levels' textures with my own.  I will
                          be replacing MANY more of these in the next 
                          edition.  Any switches found in turbolifts 
                          are endlevel switches.  Doors needing keys 
                          aren't marked by colors primarily because I 
                          wanted the levels to look as much like the 
                          movies as possible.

                   -----> If the game runs too slowly, just run an 
                   -----> easier setting to limit the number of 
         IMPORTANT!-----> monsters (they slow down slower machines).
                   -----> This isn't as bad as it used to be now that
                   -----> I'm using a newer reject compiler.

LEVEL ONE: PRINCESS LEIA'S BLOCKADE RUNNER DECKS 1 & 2

     Your ship has been boarded and captured by Imperial forces.  You 
     are the only Rebel left who hasn't been killed or taken prisoner.
     It's up to you to set the ship's self destruct system and escape, 
     but first you must make your way to the lower decks of the ship.  
     The turbolifts will take you between the two decks.  I took the 
     general layout of the ship from the RPG Rebel Alliance Sourcebook.

LEVEL TWO: PRINCESS LEIA'S BLOCKADE RUNNER DECKS 3 & 4
  
     You must enter the engine's accessways and activate the blockade 
     runner's auto-destruct sequence.  Having done this, you must now 
     escape the ship before it blows by using one of the escape pods.
     As before, I used the RPG Sourcebook for the general layout of 
     these decks 

LEVEL THREE: DEATH STAR CHASM AND TECHNICAL STATIONS

     You have to make your way to the turbolifts to reach the detention 
     level.  The only problem is there are tons of Imperials all about
     you!  Included in this level is the chasm Luke and Leia swang 
     across, the elevators Luke, Han, and Chewie entered on their way 
     to the detention level, as well as the large corridor with the 
     blast doors.  The blueprints covered 1/6 of the level, so I had to 
     make up the rest.  I'm sorry I haven't done any new textures for 
     the Death Star levels yet, I will be working on them before I  
     create any more levels.

LEVEL FOUR: DEATH STAR DETENTION LEVEL AND SECURITY STATION

     You force your way into the detention level, but if things get a 
     little too rough, you can escape into the trash compactor.  In the  
     course of things, you raid a security station (from the RPG).  
     I copied some of the sections for deathmatch reasons.   
                          
     HINT: follow Leia's technique on getting to the trash compactor
     
     HINT: there is a secret switch that reveals the switch to open the
           compactor door

Known Bugs              : DO NOT SAVEGAME IN LEVELS 2 & 4! The large
                          number of vertices, objects, etc. overruns 
                          the savegame buffer.  If you die, it's still
                          possible to finish the level from scratch.
                          Anyways, life in the Doom/Starwars world is
                          supposed to be a bitch! :-)

                          YELLOW KEYCARD ERROR FROM STARWAR2 IS FIXED!!!
