			  The guys who made QOOLE - one of the first
			  really intentive to use editor (which also
			  works!) which is as operatable as the 
			  software I am used to on my MAC at work...
			  (I just can't get it to work under NT after
			  a week now.. :-( always the "hardware not 
			  detected" error - matrox millenium?)
			  Authors of ADQUEDIT for easy combining textures...
			  a friend of mine didn't get to write a working 
			  tool in time to put the texes in a wad :-(
			  Lots of other people (i don't know all 
			  the names right now...) for all the 
			  add-ons for doom, quake etc.

======================= Construction ======================
Base                    : scratch / mind
Editor(s) used          : mainly Adobe Photoshop (hope my boss 
			  doesn't mind using the companies power-pc ;-) 
			  and adqedit 1.25 to put them all together
Build Time              : 'bout 4 weeks?
Known Bugs              : hum? bugs in texture wads?

======================= Other Info =========================
As me being and "old" DOOM-maniac and level-designing fanatic
I wanted to change the look of quake (too much green in there)
and tried to make textures of different appearance. I was pretty
impressed by Tomb-Raiders atmosphere in spite of using very "simple"
and not-aligned textures. So I started off. I tried to bring in
the touch of the more comic-like colour-selection as seen in DOOM
which produces the unique look of this standard-setting game.
Another inspiration was DUKE with its technic, sometimes very 
detailed and smooth appearance. Also I tried NOT NOT NOT to make
textures that appear in the ugly pixeled manner as I have seen
in many levels out there... (by the way - I'm 31 and doing grafix,
and preprinting at job, so I think I have some kind of "eye for 
quality" concerning grafix ;-) hum..)

I made some kind of "quality-check" ford each of the included textures 
in a small level - I think you can use them all and this wad is a 
good base to build levels in a distinctive look. If there are series 
of textures (e.g. "beton") which seem not to cover a whole range of
the theme - please forgive me, cause I made textures as they came
to my mind..
 
Up to now I really had not enough spare time to build a "real" level...
So, all you level-designers, go ahead and show me what you are up to!
(... and build levels with a structure that meet the fine engine of 
QUAKE and are not some kind of single-level or flat conversions of 
DOOM-Maps)

ps.: If you use textures of this wad it would be nice to let me 
know.. if you can spare the mail...
