Edlev v1.0

What is Edlev
-------------
    Edlev is a little program that will modify Duke3d's USER.CON file so that
    you can replace the standard Duke levels with user levels.  Why would you
    want to do that?  If you are playing a network/modem game you have to
    quit out of Duke and reconnect every time you want to try out a new
    user map.  That sucks.  With Edlev you can flip around between about 25
    user maps without having to reconnect.  That's a bit better.

How to use Edlev
----------------
    Put Edlev and all your user maps into your Duke3d directory.
    ** COPY YOUR USER.CON FILE TO A BACKUP **
    Run Edlev, use the cursor up/down to move to the level you wan to change,
    hit the Enter key, cursor up/down to the user map you want to change it
    to and hit enter again(any modified levels will show up in yellow).
    *** DO NOT CHANGE the levels for Episode 1, levels 8-11. ***
    Repeat above until you have it all set.  Hit escape to quit and save
    the changes.

    After saving the new USER.CON file Edlev will spit out a checksum number.
    This comes in handy for making sure that both people have the same
    settings(because if they dont have the same settings problems will
    occur).

    Other useful keys(all 2 of them):
        pressing Backspace will take you out of the user map selection box
        without changing anything.
        pressing DEL will restore the level you are on to its original
        setting.


Notes(and warnings :) on using Edlev
--------------------
--  MAKE A BACKUP OF USER.CON!!!

--  Obviosly you will not be able to use any of the standard levels you
    replace with Edlev until you change them back.

--  Edlev creates a temporary file called USER.NEW, if you have a file called
    USER.NEW in your Duke directory it will be nuked.

--  Changing E1L8, E1L9, E1L10, and E1L11 have no effect, I recommend
    leaving them alone.

--  Edlev is only meant to be used for playing Dukematch, see next item for
    why I wouldn't use it for single player.

--  Nukebuttons may not work properly in the game, if you want to switch
    levels do it through Duke's menu.

--  Out of the levels I have tested Edlev with, one would not work, I have
    no idea why.  It worked if it was set as a normal usermap, but not if it
    was set through Edlev, I think it may have something to do with the
    level itself.  If you come across any levels that do not work with Edlev
    please email me the name of the level at jmooney@prolog.net so that I
    can(hopefully)figure this out and correct it(or provide a workaround).

--  MAKE A BACKUP OF USER.CON!!!

--  Edlev works with every USER.CON file that I have tried, it should have
    no problems as long as the section in USER.CON that contains the
    definitions for the levels has not been modified.  If you are 
    having problems just go back to the original USER.CON.

--  Edlev only uses the section containing the level definitions when it
    computes it's checksum.

--  Edlev can only handle up to 256 .MAP files, if there are more it will
    most likely die.  If you have more than 256 .MAP files it's probably time
    to be doing some housecleaning on the ole hardrive. :)

--  (just in case you missed it)
    MAKE A BACKUP OF USER.CON!!! 

Bugs
----
    As far as I know, Edlev has no major bugs.  If it does strange things
    please report it to me at jmooney@prolog.net so I can fix the bugs.
