UPDATE NOTES            : This is a rerelease of the original ROKS with a few
                          corrections. Stev Federov found two missing upper 
                          textures on a rafter,  also found a missing upper
                          texture outside, and made the torch posts self-referencing
                          sectors, making them cleaner looking and HOM free.

                          I also ran CLEANWAD.EXE on all WADs, resulting in a 
                          much cleaner package overall, and included the texture
                          WAD GOTHICTX.WAD (it was stupid to not include it...).

                          Conside this a minor update, and is not required, since only
                          cleanup has been done.

================
= Construction =
================

Base                    : New level from scratch
Build time              : 2 weeks for everything, most of the time was the map
Editor(s) used          : DOOMCad 5.1, PSP 5, Paintbrush, Cool Edit 96, BSP, RMB, CLEANWAD
Known Bugs              : None (I think this update fixes everything)

===================
= Installing ROKS =
===================

Unzip ROKS.ZIP to your DOOM2 directory using directory structure.

ex. pkunzip roks.zip -do

You should have something that looks as such when complete:

C:\DOOM2\ROKS.BAT (startup file)
C:\DOOM2\ROKS\ROKS.DEH (DeHackEd patch file)
C:\DOOM2\ROKS\ROKS_MAP.WAD (map file)
C:\DOOM2\ROKS\ROKS_SND.WAD (sound and MIDI file)
C:\DOOM2\ROKS\ROKS_GFX.WAD (sprite graphics file)
C:\DOOM2\ROKS\GOTHICTX.WAD (texture file)

There is *NO* patch work needed (like using DeHackEd or DEU), the new
source ports can do that upon startup, and patching is no longer necessary.

================
= REQUIREMENTS =
================

You MUST have DOOM2 version 1.9 for this to work and a source port that can
handle extended linedef counts, like ZDOOM or DOOM Legacy.

      Upgrades to 1.9 are available at:
