OBLIGE 7.17-WEIRD
=================

by Andrew Apted.  September 2015


** PREFACE **

This package is just a SNAPSHOT or "Work In Progress" of
current Oblige development.  This it NOT a proper release and
is only intended for testing or for curiosity.


INTRODUCTION

  OBLIGE is a random level generator for various classic FPS
  games, such as DOOM II and QUAKE (with more in development).
  The goal is to produce good levels which are fun to play.

  The planned features are:

    * high quality levels, e.g. outdoor areas and caves!
    * easy to use GUI interface
    * built-in node builder, so the levels are ready to play
    * uses the LUA scripting language for easy customisation
    * DOOM, Heretic, Hexen and Quake support!

QUICK START GUIDE

  First, unpack the zip somewhere (e.g. My Documents).  Make sure
  it is extracted with folders, and also make sure the OBLIGE.EXE
  file gets extracted too (at least one person had a problem where
  Microsoft Windows would skip the EXE, and he had to change some-
  thing in the control panels to get it extracted properly).

  Double click on the OBLIGE icon to run it.  Select the game in
  the top left panel, and any other options which take your fancy.
  Then click the BUILD button in the bottom left panel, and enter
  an output filename, for example "TEST" (without the quotes).

  OBLIGE will then build all the maps, showing a blueprint of each
  one as it goes, and if everything goes smoothly the output file
  (e.g. "TEST.WAD") will be created at the end.  Then you can play
  it using the normal method for playing mods with that game (e.g.
  for DOOM source ports: dragging-n-dropping the WAD file onto the
  source port's EXE is usually enough).
