Description             : A 7 level "episode" for Doom 2 utilizing new
                          textures and music. For fans of Deus Vult and
                          Alien Vendetta. There are only two difficulty
                          settings: Normal (easy and medium) and hard.The 
			  most noticable areas of difficulty change is in 
                          key areas, such as replacing an archville with a 
                          baron of hell (for example). Normal difficulty is a 
			  toned down version while Ultra Violence is what makes 
			  VV fun. My advice is to play it on UV, and if it 
                          proves too much, play it on normal. However, Map06
			  in particular is quite hard on UV.
                          
                          Par completion time is around 80-120 minutes
                          depending on the player; however it will take
                          most players longer than 120 minutes the first
                          time around. Co-Op play is not only an option,
                          it's preferred! Load it up, get some friends,
                          and have some fun. ZDoom is recommended. Some
			  enviroments in the later maps might be too big
	                  for older computers slower than 1.0 ghz.
			  
			  A tip for people who are going to complain
		          about map06: In order to get the gate to lower,
		          you must find a series of teleporters which 
			  will take you to various locations in the hills
		          that will lead to the switch. The first teleport
  			  is located behind the marble face in the lava.
  			  This is completely beatable. And as always,
			  save often.

        Made on avr./2/2006 by Jean-Yves Delpech, aka "Jive":

- No fondamental modifications of the levels, but adaptation, when needed,
in order to obtain a full compatibility with OpenGl mode, and a debug for
remaining problems. At least, you should not find that I made anything on
it, and ALL the credit should be rewarded by the author.
I am only a supervisor, with the idea to let you think that the author
made a good job with this wad!!!

- I had to sort all of the entries by lack of the pointers (PP_START, etc...)
- I repared the lump entry "BEHAVIOR", which is a ACS script for Zdoom, but even Derek
  ignore what it is doing here, as far as he know nothing about ACS and didn't use it!!!
- I deleted the music for Map10, unused, which was the same music than for level 4.
- I deleted also the music for Map09. These 2 musics are stored externally.
  I deleted the entries because it was hanging Doom Legacy and MIDI2MUS (files
  too heavy, the buffer being overfulled)
- I had also to delete the entry for the music of the Map05 "D_DOOM", for the same
  reason: too heavy, and it was hanging Legacy and MIDI2MUS. I stored it externally.


Map03: - Removed secret tag from sectors 733 to 742: unuseful!!!
       - I had to move the linedef 905 away from the door (sector 178), 
         in order to allow its action to be efficient and the door to be
         opened (Legacy's bug).
Map04: - Idem for the linedef 56 and the sector 9 (door)
       - sectors 206 to 209: added missing lower textures
       - sector 443:  added missing lower textures. The decision to make stairs
         here, textured with metal, seems weird, and the lowering of
         the book cases is unuseful. It would have been better to lower it
         completely and to don't make those crappy stairs!!! It seems to me more
         like a debug decision than an architectural choice... Strange!

Conclusion: apart these little problems, this pwad is one of the best one that I
ever played since today. So, it will be one of the Best'Of pwads at DLW!!!
