Title:	Random Deaths & Decoration v1.2
Filename:	combos/rdnd12.zip

Author:	Mr. Chris
Description:	After getting burnt out on Brutal Doom, I still wanted vanilla gameplay but I liked having alternate deaths for the monsters (and other things) so I put together this for my entertainment and yours. Nearly all monsters have multiple death sequences, dead things and gore are randomized and a couple other surprises. Smooth animations have been implemented for most monsters (but not death states) as well as a few other additions in 1.2. There are no weapon changes at all so if you want to load up your favorite weapons mod that doesn't alter monsters, make sure you load it up before it. There is now a separate version for Zandronum now, which should work 100% due to extensive online multiplayer testing.

Anonymous	so its brutal doom lite?	x
mrthejoshmon	It's a nice concept. The random death animations and random decorations are very welcome, they add variety to the game without messing with the actual gameplay but on the other hand there is some horrible looking death animations that just come up to me as nothing but terrible, this wouldn't be such an issue if they were not the only ones that seem to play the most. But whatever, it is a nice little addition.	x
Mabuse	nice idea - and something like that was long overdue. vanilla doom got just too boring without having the good alternate deaths for monsters - i hope this one features headshots too, if not, maybe think about making another version which supports headshots.	x
