Description      :

		   STRAIN DeathMatch levels are specifically

		   designed to use the STRAIN add-on for DOOM

		   II.  These levels take special advantage of

		   the tunes, textures, weapons, and

		   even baddies of STRAIN.  You

		   should be able to find STRAIN in the same

		   place you found these deathmatch levels.

		   Please visit our web site for download

		   sites.



		   This package contains one wad with

                   7 new levels and new music to be used

		   with the new baddies, new weapons, and new

		   graphics of STRAIN.



		   Designed for deathmatch play exclusively.

		   All skill levels supported.

 Play Information 

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



The STRAIN DeathMatch series consists of 7 tight DeathMatch

levels!  The first six are 'fragfest' style.  The seventh

is a 'manhunt' for those who still enjoy a good DeathMatch with

secrets, space, and an evolving landscape over time.  The

manhunt is best played with four marines.

 Where To Get This WAD 

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



Please check our web site for download information:

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

 Installation

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



First, remember you must own DOOM II and have it installed.

Then, you must have STRAIN installed on top of DOOM II.

Check our web site for information on obtaining STRAIN if

you do not already have it.  (It is, of course, FREE.)



You need another 1 MB of disk space for STRAIN DeathMatches.

Download the file and unzip it as usual.



We assume you know how to load up DeathMatches with DOOM II add-ons.

That topic would take a while to explain.  However remember now,

instead of doom2.exe, you must get your strnhack.exe file started.

strnhack.exe must include the strain.wad file as

well as the straindm.wad file.  strain.wad is located in

your STRAIN directory wherever you installed it.



For example, suppose your STRAIN directory is c:\doom2\strain.

Further suppose you put the straindm.wad file in your STRAIN

directory.  Then you would add the deathmatches like so:



   cd <insert doom2 dir here>

   strnhack -file c:\doom2\strain\strain.wad c:\doom2\strain\straindm.wad



Of course, you'll need the special flags for DeathMatch on the

last line as well.  As far as using DWANGO or your favorite

DeathMatch front end, we'll assume you know how to do such

advanced steps.

Other than that, enjoy and please spread STRAIN as far and wide
