Title                   : Thirty Monsters Challenge 2: Thirty Aliens
Filename                : 30MC2.wad
Release date            : August 10, 2024
Author                  : Dac (and a motley crew of mappers)
Email Address           : [redacted]
Other Files By Author   : Be sure to check out the original Thirty Monsters
                          Challenge (30mc.wad) on idgames.
Misc. Author Info       : Created, ran, compiled, and edited by Dac (creator of the
                          original 30mc). Reordered, fixed, and finalized by Death
                          Bear (Co-Lead of Pineapple Under the Sea).

Description             : As always, it's quite simple: make a map with
                          thirty monsters in it - no more, no less. This time
                          though, we used a modified Ancient Aliens texture
                          pack with some additional MBF21 Dehacked stuff. Maps
			  are balanced for pistol start; loosely ordered by 
			  difficulty into 3 episodes. Episodes do not clear
			  inventory.

			  NightFright's widescreen HUD for Ancient Aliens
			  has provided alongside the wad.
			                          
                          Weapon Changes:
                          FIST : Punch damage is now a bit more consistent.
                          CHAINSAW : Is now affected by berserk! Not as much
                          as the punch is, but hopefully enough to mow down
                          demons with more ease.
                          PISTOL : Deals slightly more damage, does not lose 
			  accuracy, and does nor consume any kind of ammo. 
			  Should be useful as is, and for allowing far away
			  switches to be hit at all times.
                          SHOTGUN : Now reloads slightly faster.
                          SUPER SHOTGUN : Also reloads slightly faster.
                          SUPER CHAINGUN : Is basically the Valiant chaingun.
                          Keep in mind this is the only weapon that uses
                          bullets.
                          ALIEN RIFLE : Replaces the Plasma Rifle. Slower
                          fire rate, but fires three slightly homing bolts at
                          once.
                          BFG9000 : Blue.
                          
                          Enemy Changes:
                          FORMER HUMAN : A little bit tougher, and now fires
                          continuously. If you've played Struggle, it's kind
                          of like that.
                          FORMER SERGEANT: Now drops shells instead of a
                          shotgun.
                          CHAINGUNNER: Now drops a clip instead of a
                          chaingun.
                          LOST SOUL: Has a smaller attack delay, and is
                          slightly weaker.
                          CYBERDEMON: Is now a LOT weaker, will die to one
                          good BFG blast.
                          PLASMA ALIEN: As seen in Ancient Aliens, replaces
                          the Wolfenstein SS.
                          ALIEN GUARDIAN: As seen in Ancient Aliens, replaces
                          the Keen.
                          UNDYING: New monster. Similar to the former human,
                          but comes back to life if normally killed. They can
                          stay down by gibbing them, or if their soul gets
                          distracted and resurrect another demon instead!
                          FLAMETHROWER ZOMBIE : New monster. Fires two
                          mancubus fireballs. Should be deadly at close
                          range, and very annoying at longer ranges too.
                          Should die to one good rocket hit, or a good super
                          shotgun hit if you feel brave.
                          ARCH-DIABOLIC: New monster. Similar to an
                          arch-vile, but lays flames at your feet that
                          explodes after a short delay.
