[History]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v1.1
- Troopers dropped Chainguns...  well that didn't work in a modem game.  I
solved that, I let them drop clip again, but I sped up the pistol fire rate.
Oh well, I'm too lazy -- I'll make them drop Chainguns correctly someday.
- Chaingun fires twice as fast.

v1.0
- Hey, that little shotgun error in v.3b irritated me too, so rush out this
  version.  The shotgun error is solved.  Gone.  Poof.  <Atleast I hope :)>
  Also, the shotgun is full-auto.  :)
- Rockets can now shoot over small ledges.
- Troopers now drop Chainguns.
- Perhaps no one noticed, but there was serious flaw in the unistall that only
  gave you 2 bullets from ammo clip rather than the normal 10.  Fixed.

v.3b
- Name changed to Super DooM Guns, (formerly call New Doom Guns)!
- Semi Automatic Shotgun patch!
- Bullet Ammo carrying capacity increased to 400 at start.  Ammo from clips,
  boxes, etc. doubled.

v.2b
- Plasma Gun shoots smaller shots and have more transparent explosions!

v.1b
- First Plasma Gun and Rocket Launcher patch introduced.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT: WHEN PLAY TWO OR MORE PLAYER DOOM GAMES, *ALL* PLAYERS MUST HAVE
THE SUPER DOOM GUNS V1.0B PATCH INSTALLED!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THIS *DOES NOT* WORK WITH ANYTHING *BUT* *REGISTERED* *DOOM* *V1.2*!
THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH ANY OF THE HACKS OR OFFICIAL DOOM UPGRADES!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BEFORE YOU RUN THIS PATCH *BACKUP* *DOOM.EXE* AND *DOOM.WAD*.  "OLDGUNS.BAT" DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Notes on v1.1]
    This is my final release for DooM v1.2.  My next one is for DooM v1.5!

    Whoops...  Troopers dropped Chainguns in the previous version, but you
can't pick up more than one during modem games.  Oh well, I just sped up the
pistol.  Eventually, I'll get around to that Chaingun problem, but think as
the pistol thingy as a temporary solution.
    In Deathmatch, with a Auto-Shotgun, Rocket Launcher, and the energy
weapons, the Chaingun is really no match.  Well, the Chaingun shoots much
slower than any real automatic weapon... so why not, I made it shoot twice as
fast.  Just watch how much ammo you can hose with the new Chaingun!

[What it does]

    In creating SDG, I tried to remedy the greatest flaws of each gun.
Note: This patch tends to raise the power of weaker guns to make them more
evenly powered, especially good for Deathmatchs.  (Unless, of course, you like
playing deathmatchs with huge weapon advantages. :) )

[Super Weapons In Detail]
<Pistol>
    Have you even noticed how SLOW the pistol shoots?  It saddens me to
think that in the future pistol will shoot slower than they do today.  Maybe
it's result of too many gun control laws!  Anywayz, I sped up the pistol so it
is more in tune with a real semi-auto pistol.
<Shotgun>
    Full Auto Shotgun... 'nuff said.
<Chaingun>
    Once again we have an apparent bad case of future gun control laws.
Why is it that the Chaingun fires slower than any real assault weapon we have
today?  Now it shoots twice as fast.  Can you say, hoser?  (Wait, that's
paintball terms... whoops.)  Watch how much ammo you end up using on a
Trooper that only takes about two shots.
<Rocket Launcher>
    Also, while playing, I noticed rockets like to blow up in front of you
if you try to shoot over a rise, usually followed by loud swearing.  I solved
that (not the swearing... I can only hope we never solve it).  Try shooting
the rocket over SMALL rises and around corners.  The rocket should be able to
go over a couple steps too, depending on how high they are.  The rocket THING
data size is now more proportional to the actual graphic of the rocket.
(Oh yeah... I made a cool new explosion...)
<Plasma Gun>
    Ever try shooting a monster in front of you and you can't tell if you
hit the wall or the monster.  Well now the Plasma Gun shoots these little
disks things with a big burst for an explosion.  It's like bread mold, but
can't make medicine out of it.  Anywayz, it has a see-through middle.
(Did you know that the Plasma Shot goes slower than a paintball?  Just thought
you'd like to know that.  I'm not tempting you try/play paintball or
anything?)
<BFG>
    Leave me alone, I'm too lazy to do anything about this gun.
Isn't it powerful enough?  Okay, well I don't think so either... you want it
easier... then just cheat.


[To Run]
REMEMBER, NO GARANTEES, so *TRY* *IT* *AT* *YOUR* *OWN* *RISK!*

MAKE A *BACKUP* COPY OF *DOOM.EXE* AND *DOOM.WAD*!!!

This will NOT work if you patch this over an old version of Super DooM Guns.
This will only work on Unhacked, Unmodified, Registered DooM v1.2.  So,
restore from backup.

Decompress/Copy all Super DooM Guns files to your DooM directory and type
the following:

Type NEWGUNS.BAT to install.
Type OLDGUNS.BAT to uninstall.
