Description             : This is the source code release of Boomlightgen,
			  a tool to create a day/night cycle
			  in Boom using a generated WadC script, 
			  as seen in the map The Last Sanctuary. It 
			  ''computes'' a changing light cycle through
			  linedefs/sidedefs using this script.

Additional Info by Red	: According to the author, Boomlightgen takes light
			  values of all sectors with tag>10000 and generates
			  a script for WadC, which builds a "voodoo doll script" 
			  for day/night cycle. The only big disadvantage of this 
			  method is big linedefs/sidedefs usage (50% of the map
		          is day/night cycle "script").

An advanced version also exists, which can build
			  different lighting for night based on 2 wads which
			  are identical except for light levels (so first
			  wad is day light, the second wad is night light)
			  The cost is 2x more linedefs/sidedefs.

This release should contain most things needed to
			  compile a working Boomlightgen executable. The ''copy''
			  folder is more recent and contains a debug exe. The
			  compiled executable should ideally be used with
			  WadC, for its script was made for that program.
 			
			  The debug executable (boomlightgen.exe) will ask for
			  libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll, make sure your equivalent
			  CodeLite, Code::Blocks or MinGW installation includes 
			  this.

The code is provided ''as-is''. It is uploaded for 
			  historical preservation and educational purposes only. 
			  You may study its contents, but the code is unsupported.
			  I have prepared this package for inclusion on /idgames.
