 PLAYLIST CREATION TOOL
 **********************

 This is a simple tool for the creation of playlists which when 
 loaded replace the original Doom music for each map.

 You can play your favourite mp3 music after having created a playlist.

 The music types recognised by Risen3D are as follows: 
  MP3, OGG, MID, MOD, IT, RMI, XM and 3M.

 When you first open a new playlist you will notice the map numbers 
 have been pre-allocated, right clicking on any selected map number 
 will display a menu for adding your music selections.

 TIPS:

 1) Before creating your playlist put all your intended selections 
    into a single folder, this folder location will be remembered 
    when adding new selections in the future.

 2) If adding music files double-clicking on the map number then 
    double-clicking on your music selection is all that's required 
    to quickly fill out your playlist.


 AUTO PLAYLIST CREATION
 **********************

 Auto playlists can be created by linking an iwad type to a preferred 
 playlist. This ensures when switching game types your preferred 
 playlists are always linked.

 To create an auto playlist group just right-click on a selected playlist 
 and link it to any available iwad, the procedure can then be repeated 
 with any other available iwad.

 
 OPTIONS
 *******
 
 Toggle map type
 ---------------
 Basically there are two distinct map formats depending on what Doom  
 wad you intend playing, this option toggles between the two formats.

 Doom/Ultimate Doom uses the E1M1 - E4M9 format.
 Doom2 and Final Doom uses the MAP01 - MAP32 format.

 So the map types in your playlist are relevant to what Doom wad you 
 are playing, however after you have finished creating a playlist 
 you can make it compatible with all Doom wads by using the Clone 
 playlist option.

 Note: This option becomes disabled after a playlist has been cloned.

 Clone playlist
 --------------
 This duplicates a copy of your playlist entries using both map formats.
 
 TIP: Make sure you have constructed your playlist before cloning, if 
      you intend cloning a full playlist then start by using the E1M1 
      format, this is because there is a possible 36 maps in this format
      where as the MAP01 format only has 32 maps. 

 Exit out to notepad
 -------------------
 This will open the current playlist in a text editor which is useful for 
 entering not standard map numbers or tidying up any unused map numbers.

 Note: Notepad is used by default but you can specify whatever text editor
       you like by replacing the notepad.exe entry in the editor.r3d file
       with the full path of your replacement text editor. The editor.r3d 
       file is located in the Risen3D\R3DLaunch\Data folder.


 MISCELLANEOUS
 ************
 If you have installed any of the Doom soundtrack mixes available from the
 Risen3D website then the appropriate playlists will be automatically created.
