			  "Beautiful Doom" (versions 2.0-4.0) and others

Description             : Final version features modified heating-cooling
			  system and works fine in coop game.

			  Mod idea and most of the sounds originally by
                          WildWeasel. He hadn't yet finished his mod at
			  that moment, nd I borrowed his idea (with his 
			  permission).
                          This mod puts the doomguy into armored assault
                          mecha with 5 weapons, 1000 armor points which
                          absorbs 100% of the damage until it's
                          compromised, and has unique cockpit and
                          crosshair for every weapon. The mod is meant to
                          make you overpowered, so don't play it if you
			  don't like it.
			
			  And watch the heat meter! Its maximum is 100 and
			  it can prevent you from shooting.
			  Better read story.txt for more information about
			  UAC Armored Combat Suit.
			
			  In addition the mod turns caco's blood to blue,
			  hellknight's and baron's to green and also
			  contains animated blood decals I used in 
			  Beautiful Doom.

Additional Credits to   : WildWeasel (original mod for EDGE, the idea and
                          many sounds)
			  Vader (author of Terminator monster which sprites
			  I borrowed)
			  Nash (author of the graphics I used for blood
			  decals)
			  Interplay (for Descent which, I guess, is the 
			  source of the rocket explosion sprite, and for
			  the idea with crosshairs indicating selected 
			  weapons)
			  id Software (for Doom and Doom 3, the source of
			  some sounds)
