Description             : Are you tired of playing a level and knowing just
                          what to expect? Then this is the mod for you!
                          
                          The Doom Monster Randomizer is a mod for G/ZDoom
                          that uses custom spawners to randomize monsters.
                          There are two editions: vanilla and enhanced.
                          
                          The vanilla edition is recommended for those
                          that want to fight the original monsters with a
                          few custom ones. The vanilla edition includes 5
                          new enemy types: the chaingunner for the Ultimate
                          Doom, the Nightmare Imp, the Lost Spectre, the
                          Hell Spectre and the Red Baron. The new monsters
                          are mainly variations on the old ones that add a
                          little variety without being excessive.
                          
                          The enhanced edition is for those that want lots
                          of custom monsters. Almost every original monster
                          is randomized, with the Arch Vile being the only
                          monster that isn't. All of the custom monsters
                          were chosen from the Beastiary based on how well
                          they compliment the originals. As an example,
                          expect various classes of imps to spawn where
                          imps normally do along with the original variety.
                          Each monster class has no more than 5 varieties,
                          with most having 2 or 3.
                          
                          Monster spawns are weighted based on what
                          monster would normally appear. For example, the
                          standard imps should appear the most frequently,
                          followed by Nightmare Imps and so on.
                          
                          As a result of randomizing monster spawns,
                          difficulty can be erratic. Overall difficult is
                          usually slightly higher. If you're having a
                          tough time, trying switching to a lower
                          difficulty or use the vanilla edition, which has
                          less randomization.
                          
                          This mod will not work with any mod that
                          replaces the existing monsters. This mod will
                          work with most custom levels, but may not work
                          with heavily scripted ones. Weapon mods work
                          great and are recommended!
