 What is this?
 --------------

 [DooM+] is a modification of the Public DOOM sourcecode release by Id Software.
 The actual codebase used was WinDoom by Bruce Lewis.

 Id Software has no relation to [DooM+] nor it's authors.


 Features
 ---------

  - High resolution modes
  - New statusbar
  - Look up/down
  - Mouselook
  - *** Look-Aim ***  Now you can shoot up/down too!
  - REAL transparency effect
  - Crosshair with customizable graphics


 High Resolution
 ----------------
 
 Command line parameters are entered when starting [DooM+] from a command line such as
 a Win95 DOS box.

 Example:
 
  DOOMPLUS -width 640 -height 480

 This starts [DooM+] in 640x480x256.


 Network gaming
 ---------------

 To play a network game, you MUST start [DooM+] from a command line!
 The syntax is the exact same one as for Linux DOOM and WinDoom. Here's a quick tutorial 
 though:

 The basic syntax is:

  DOOMPLUS -net <MyPlayerNum> .<ip-to-other-player> .<ip-to-other-player> .<ip-to-other-player>
  
  or

  DOOMPLUS -net <MyPlayerNum> <hostname-other-player> <hostname-other-player> <hostname-other-player>
 
 MyPlayerNum is NOT the total number of players you are having, it is YOUR player number.
 In a 3 player game, this means that each player chooses a unique number 1, 2 or 3. 

 This is then followed by EITHER the hostnames (Windows networking hostnames are OK),
 or IP-numbers of the OTHER players. This means you should NOT enter your own IP or hostname.

 NOTE! The IP-numbers MUST have "." in front of them, like: .194.24.91.133
 Otherwise the program thinks they are hostnames.

 If you are having problems with this syntax, try finding some info on LinuxDOOM or mail me.
 

 DOOMPLUS.INI
 -------------

 The first time you run DOOMPLUS.EXE, it will create a file called DOOMPLUS.INI in your
 Windows folder. This is the configuration file that [DooM+] uses, and you can easily edit
 some of the features using a simple text editor such as Notepad.

 Some important fields in the DOOMPLUS.INI file, and their default values:
 
   use_mouselook=1		This controls the mouselook feature (0 or 1)
 
   use_lookaim=1		This controls the lookaim feature (0 or 1)

   use_crosshair=1		This turns the crosshair on or off (0 or 1)

   invert_mouse=0		Set this to 1 to invert the mouse Y axis (0 or 1)

   mouse_y_sensitivity=20	Use this to calibrate the y-movement of your mouse when
				using the mouselook feature. 20 seems to be a good value
				for serial mice, however on some mice this is far too
				sensitive. Lower value means "slower reaction".
 

 
 Notes
 ------

 The console is pretty messy (sorry Bruce), and might cause some problems. There will be a new
 console in the next version.
 
 There will also be a configuration utility so you dont have to mess with the INI-file anymore, as well
 as providing a Deathmatch Gathering "room" for easy network setup.
