* Blah de blah de blah *

This is where i get all nostalgic. This wad contains the first items
I ever did on my PC in terms of designing for games. (Actually to be
even more accurate, the first thing i ever did was the cactus graphic
that replaces the menu 'skull' graphics M_SKULL1 and M_SKULL2, at the
time my friends found this very ammusing).

The contents of this wad were designed, i think, shortly after the
release of Doom2. It was supposed to be the beginnings of a western
themed TC, but I quickly realised that the tools of the time would
not allow me to achieve the effects i wanted in terms of player weapons
and monster behaviour, so the project was abandoned. Of course, with
the source code now available and with ports like ZDOOM being extremely
flexible, i would easily be able to create the effects I wanted....but
I have loads of ideas I want to try and not enough time so I wont ever
get around to actually doing anything with the contents of this wad.

So, feel free to use any of the contents of this wad for whatever
purpose you want, mind you it all looks kinda dated now.

This wad contains wood style text replacing the original doom2 menu
text and a wood style status bar. There are also replacements for
graphics such as the main page and credits page, but these are
unfinished, so don't expect too much. At the time I also started
playing around with the status bar face, but never finished the total
set (probably got bored). The following face graphics were replaced;

STFST01
STFST00
STFST02
STFOUCH0
STFEVL0
STFKILL0
STFST11
STFST10
STFST21
STFST31
STFST41
STFGOD0
STFDEAD0

I have reused some of these to create a full set, but obviously there
is a lot of repetition and thus a lack of animation. You have been
warned, so don't moan :)

Thats about it...
