======================================================================
Archive Maintainer      : UFO2 is simply a conversion of an old
                          Dmgraph patch to standard wad format.
                          The original version simply consisted of 13
                          .gif images and required the Dmgraph utility
                          to permanently modify your doom.wad iwad.
                          The original also didn't include any sounds.
Update to               : ./idgames/graphics/ufo.zip
Advanced engine needed  : no
Primary purpose         : No levels included.
                          This is a graphics-only wad.

Description             : This wad simply replaces the Cacodemon with
                          a UFO. New to this version:
                          - converted the Dmgraph patch to wad format
                          - added the missing sprite frames
                            (heada3a7, headb3b7, headc3c7, headd3d7)
                          - clipped the unused space from the images
                            to halve the size of the wad.
                          - adjusted the vertical and horizontal
                            offsets of the sprites.
                          - added four sounds - UFO nearby, sees
                            player, injured and death sounds
                            (see known bugs below).

* What is included *

New levels              : none
Sounds                  : Yes
Music                   : No
Graphics                : Yes
Dehacked/BEX Patch      : No
Demos                   : No
Other                   : No
Other files required    : If played with 'Plain Vanilla' Doom or Doom2
                          you'll need a utility to patch ufo2.wad
                          with the extra sprites from doom.wad or
                          doom2.wad; such as: DeuSF, WinTex, NWT, etc.
                          For example:   deusf -as ufo2.wad

This will GREATLY increase the size of
                          ufo2.wad.  A MUCH better option is to use a
                          Doom Source Port that can import pwads
                          containing sprite graphics (most of them).
                          Patching is not required with these ports
                          and ufo2.wad can be used as-is; for example:
                             boom -file ufo2.wad

To quickly check out the new UFO, try the
                          following Doom/Doom2 levels:
                           Doom/UDoom - lots of UFOs - E2M9 - idclev29
                           Doom II - few UFOs - map24 - idclev24
                                     lots of UFOs - map18 - idclev18

* Play Information *
