- Bart's Excelent Deathmatch Patch Wad

- This DOOM patch wad makes 4 changes to E1M1 designed to enhance
- multi-player DEATHMATCH games: 1) adds chainsaw upstairs. 2) adds plasma gun
- to second room. 3) allows you to walk between windows from room 1 to missle
- patio. 4) extends secret shotgun room and connects it to the chaingun room.
- Run this PWAD by typing "DOOM -file bart.wad". This PWAD was created using
- NEWDEU 4.3 and by manually hex-editing the BLOCKMAP resource (not easy). It
- was tested using the registered 1.1 version of DOOM. The addition of the
- plasma gun makes this PWAD unusable with the shareware versions of DOOM.
- The secret walls may be hard to find. Use the automap to find the
- walls I knocked out. They will appear to be normal but you will be able to
- walk thur, fire thru, and hide within them. The first one is between the two
- windows in the first room. The second one is between the secret shotgun room
- and the chaingun room. The shotgun room was extended southward to make a
- hallway.
- Since no line vertexes were changed, updating the NODES structure
- was not necessary. The only hard part was modifying the BLOCKMAP resource for
- proper collision detection. This modification is not currently being
- performed correctly by NEWDUE 4.3. I had to do it manually by using a hex
- editor on bart.wad. The DOOM specs were very helpful in directing me to the
- right BLOCKMAP definition. I was able to easily tell blocks 238 & 239 to
- point to the same lines defined in block 272.
