				DOOM ][ 1.666 Patch
				 By Wesley Morgan

This patch was created on a whim... I was playing DOOM ][ at a friend's house
when I thought that it would be cool if the Archvile attack could be used to
kill other creatures. So I did a little hacking and changed the rocket launcher
so that the new "rocket" would explode like the archvile attacks.  That was
easy.  The hard(er) part was making the effect more real.  I went into the
frame editor and decided that a more realistic effect could be produced if the
pain frames were displayed while the victim was on fire.  So I did a little
playing and ended up with this patch.  Basically what I did was get rid of the
normal death frames and replace them with repeating "pain" frames.  Then I
used the exploding death frames to finish him off.  Fairly neat effect if I
say so myself.  Well, thats about it.  Only change the sprite frames, and
nothing else except maybe the durations a little.  Then, to add the sound
element, the pain sound is also the death sound.  Plus I used changed the text
offset so that the sound labeled "slop" was the pain sound ("popain").
NOTE: For DOOM ][ 1.666, the pain sound used is #27.  The BFG has also been 
changed so that the area effect now uses the fire as well.  About the same
process as before...  By the way, there are some much cooler patches out there,
but I had to learn 99% of this from the Super Weapon patch included with
DeHackEd 2.0... I would really appreciate it if future authors would perhaps
explain their patches so that us less ingenious people can learn from your
ideas... Share the knowledge...

If you have any questions, then your just SOL because Sumter, SC is a 
nowhere little town and the only BBS with InterNet gating is leaving town...

Enjoy the patch and distribute like crazy...
