Additional Credits : First of all: Martin for his big help with all the monster sprites.
Thanks for all the fish, Martin!
All my Doom friends for testing and their helpful comments.
Special thanks for testing and discovering some bugs go to Vajje, Stew, angelus_04 and Belial.
Danhen, Stew, Shark and Chip for their patience with the final test.
The people who helped me with all the small problems in the ZDoom forums, especially to
Graf Zahl, who cleared a bad bug in map 05.
This wad contains some resources from other wads:
- Tree sprites from grove.wad by B.P.R.D.
- An ambient sound from contain.wad by J.C. Bengtson
- Two texture patches (the rocks in outdoor areas and the fences in Map 01)
from which I couldn't find out the origin
- A lot of textures from various sources, mainly from PlanetQuake
- One room in map 05 was originally taken by Maghq34-zombie2.wad, but I've slightly rebuilt
and completely retextured it.
Description : The Biovite Project is a partial conversion. It contains five maps,
plus new graphics, new sounds, new music and new monsters.
It's Single Player only.
This wad needs a current version of ZDoom (2.1.x).
It is meant to be played with jumping disabled.
If you got stuck somewhere or need help or further information, have
a look at http://www.milianmusik.de/doom
You'll notice, that the maps are becoming better in quality from map to map. This is
because Biovite is a longterm project and my mapping skills are still growing. There's
a difference of 3 1/2 years between starting of map 01 and finishing of map 05.
I'm highly interested in your demos. Feel free to send them to the abovementioned adress. Thanks!

Story:
"The authorities did recieve several hints, that scientists of the company "Biovite Engineering" had
passed over the border to illegality with their biological and genetic experiments. However, former
official investigations and examinations didn't detect any evidence of illegal processes.
But things have changed, after a former employee of the company revealed some details. A special unit
has been instituted immediatly. If the witness' statements are true, what's going on behind the walls
of Biovite is not only illegal but highly dangerous and threatening!
On a rainy afternoon, you're instructed to pay a visit to Biovite and to reveal and, if necessary, defang
the secret of the Biovite Project..."
