Description             : The Thing is a homage to the... well, sci-fi horror film named "The Thing" by John Carpenter released in 			          1982.

			  Don't expect any riveting combat here. This is more or less just a dedication to the film. If you 			                  don't like that sort of thing, fine, but don't bitch and whine to me about the lack of gameplay.

Additional Credits      : Walter Fox for inspiration and testing as well as Forge for testing.

			  John Carpenter and his crew for the film 

			  Naoshi Mizuta for the Parasite Eve II soundtrack

Editor(s) used          : Mapster32
Known Bugs              : Nothing that I'm aware of.
May Not Run With...     : Old DOS version of Duke Nukem 3D or any other source port except EDuke32.

Important Notes         : Since this is using a feature called TROR (true-room-over-room) not present in the old DOS game or any 			  	  other source port it will NOT WORK WITH THESE. EDuke32 IS REQUIRED!

                          Please also refrain from using the High Resolution Pack (HRP), Polymer or the classic 8-bit rendering.
                          This was designed with the Polymost rendering in mind. Using any of the other rendering modes will produce 
			  visual glitches not present in Polymost. SO POLYMOST ONLY AND DON'T COME AND FUCKING BITCH TO ME IF IT
                          LOOKS WRONG JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE USING THE WRONG RENDERING MODE.

			  Also if you have any custom sounds files in the root folder of EDuke32 please remove or move them elsewhere
			  as they might conflict with the sound files inside the thething31.zip archive.

Installation            : Unzip the contents of the .ZIP into the root folder of EDuke32. Use the .BAT file (thething.bat) to launch
			  the game.
