Bloodbath's Terrible Vacation is about my bad experience on a doomed vacation. 
This wad consists of four small island maps with lots of action. The chaingun, rocket launcher, and plasma gun have all 
received an upgrade for the adventure. MAP01 is a thrill-seeking adventure to a tropical island, with lots of unsightly
guests to contend with. MAP02 is a bit more chill, but still has enough heat so your chaingun does not freeze over. 
MAP03 is a romp through one of the hottest vacation spots imaginable. MAP04 is a look into how this adventure was booked in the first place.

How I implemented the difficulty settings in general is:

HMP has the same monster count as UV but with more resources
HNTR and ITYTD have reduced monster counts and different enemy placements, along with more resources

All maps are balanced around pistol starts.

Don't browse the patches, instead open TEXTURE2 if you want to look at textures.

Thanks to Bauul for the PK3 conversion (which is not this version) and to
Simpletonium for the Doom Builder config for categorization.

===REDISTRIBUTION===

You are free to redistribute these textures with your levels. This means you
can bundle them with your level and make custom texture sets that combine OTEX
with other resources. I ask that you do not change the names of patches or
textures in this process, and mention me in the credits.

I also ask that you make sure your project contains the latest versions of
everything, so re-import the latest OTEX to your project.

===MAKING MODIFICATIONS TO TEXTURES===

For best results, consider these key tips:

* A lot of OTEX is chopped into patches, meaning you can combine stuff in the
  TEXTURE definitions without adding any more lumps. 
* Pick a naming convention different from that in OTEX, so that original
  textures are separate from the modified ones. Perhaps names start with O_xxx
  where xxx is a unique identifier for you or your project. Doing this makes it
  easier for me to keep track of new uses that I can choose to incorporate to
  OTEX proper.
* Recoloring and other alterations to textures that are already in 8 bit color
  is likely to give you worse results than if I were to do it with the source
  Photoshop files. So if you are making changes you think can benefit others,
  please reach out and I can help you make it look as good as possible.
