Description             : This is an more user-friendly version of Grove I 	
			  did. The reason its called Grove-Alternate is 
			  that its an alternate version, not a generally 
			  optimised one - in that, sure the frame rate is 
			  better, but I had to sacrifice some graphical 
			  goodness. You can't see other light sources and 
			  other things through the trees anymore, which is 
			  a big shame since I loved that, it made it more
			  mysteriously magical (for me, anyway). Okay- there
			  are at least two instances were you still CAN still
			  see some stuff through trees, but thats it. Also in 
			  the last 'room', you can't see the bridge of 
			  'Grove Central'. Basically, nothing is really 
			  connected in that way- you can't see other places
			  through the trees. And that sux. When you have 
			  the vision visors on, the trees look horrible- you
			  can see the tree walls that I had to put up in a 
			  lot of places to hide the close sky. Its like Diet 
			  Grove, it is easier on your stomach, but it just 
			  doesn't taste as good.

P.S the frame rate is still a little jerky at times,
			  because some of the architecture is too close to 
			  one another to 'seperate them' with a sky. Around
			  the cemetery and heading toward the 'secret arch' 
			  from the 3 hands is a little jerky. Though not as 
			  bad as the original though.

P.P.S I fixed the texture column errors that you 
			  get when you play it with Boom. Why would you want
			  to play it with Boom anyway? You don't get no music
			  (at least my version of Boom doesn't play music)

P.P.P.S I made it a little easier too. A certain 
			  switch in a certain enclosed space is more obvious, 
			  and I threw in an extra shotgun shell item, in a 	
			  little corner somewhere. Pretty useless unless you 
			  like searching for hours for little scraps of ammo.

P.P.P.P.S This wad still looks like shit in OpenGL.
