Description             : After 20 years, Hell Revealed is finally Back!
			  
			  Hell Revealations is a full-length megawad (33 maps
			  + 11 bonus) created by The SLOTTER Team led by Arsinikk.
			  Acting as a successor to the infamous "Hell Revealed" and
			  "Hell Revealed II" megawads, Hell Revealations does not
			  mess around when it comes to its difficulty. This megawad
			  is hard and relentless, so I hope you packed an extra BFG!
			  
			  The soundtrack is comprised between "Hell Revealed II"
			  metal-style tracks and Lee Jackson's "Rise of the Triad"
			  midis. There may be an original bespoke soundtrack coming
			  in the near future...

The megawad targets Vanilla Doom (complevel 2), but
			  we suggest playing in a port that increases the
			  sprite limit, as many of the maps exceed the limit
			  (just like its Hell Revealed precursors).

All maps were designed with pistol start in mind,
			  though continuous play is perfectly fine. All
			  difficulties have been implemented on every map
			  including cooperative (with extra monsters and
			  items) as well as full Deathmatch support for the
			  main WAD (HRs.wad).

			  IvanDobsky, Blue Phoenix, Rivi the Warlock, PRO-RC,

			  Large Cat, Christophine Place, NinjaDelphox, finnks13,
			  Monsieur. E, Andrea Rovenski, NiGHTS108, and Arrowhead.

===========!!! IMPORTANT - PLEASE NOTE !!!===========
			 Do NOT load both HRs.wad and HRsBonus.wad together.
			 Both WADs are standalone and use different resources.

v2 adds additional fixes to maps regarding coop play,
                         in addition to ZDoom-specific fixes. Megawad should
			 now be considered final.

===========================================================================

--- Port Compatibility ---   :

Play and record demos on -complevel 2
                         (Especially on PrBoom Plus)
						 
                         ZDoom based ports, Eternity, DSDA Doom, and Woof-based ports
                         have compatibility settings applied automatically.

If using the Eternity Engine, make sure you are using
                         devbuild 4.03.00 or higher. - https://devbuilds.drdteam.org/eternity/
                         (There is a game-breaking bug in the current 4.02.00
                         stable build as of now).

===========================================================================

--- How to launch ---   :
                    
                         For source ports:
                         use HRs.wad or HRsBonus.wad (-complevel 2). DEHACKED is
			 directly embedded in the wad file.
			  			  
                         For Vanilla Doom/MS-DOS:
                         you must patch your own doomhack.exe yourself
                         with Dehacked (version 1.9 of Doom2.wad is required, 
                         even for Chocolate Doom users)

--- Additional Files ---   :

HRs_ws.wad or HRsBonus_ws.wad - optional for ports that
			 support widescreen graphics.

Known Bugs              : - Sprite flickering will happen. Use a limit-removing port.
