====================================================================== Archive Maintainer : This is a legalized version of COTA1.ZIP. The original wad contained ALL the flats from DOOM2.WAD (even though not a single new or modified flat existed in the wad). Deleting the illegal and unused resources has reduced the size of the wad from 1.6MB to only 225KB. Update to : ./idgames/levels/doom2/a-c/cota1.zip Advanced engine needed : No Primary purpose : Single+Coop play ====================================================================== Title : Cult of the Apocalypse (version 1 'b') Filename : cota1b.wad Release date : 1 January 2001 (Happy New Year) Original Author : Ric Blackman & Dead Cat Productions forge@saltmine.radix.net Version 'b' Update by : Sparky of KISS Software kelm@eisa.net.au Mods made by Sparky of KISS Software: - deleted the illegal, unmodified Doom2 flats (copyright id Software). - combined the two wad files (map/graphics and music) into a single wad and deleted the unused resources. - this distribution contains only two files now (cota1b.wad and cota1b.txt), and the wad has been reduced from a whopping 1.6MB to only 225KB. - vertically offset a wall texture to enable the player to find an important secret area.
