A 'FarceWare" Production

------------
Description:
------------

It's been a few months since the release of Alpha 0.1, but the updates
and changes are sure to be worth the wait.

Based on an old TC for the original DOOM called 'Chex Quest', the
developers aimed to create a "run 'n gun fps" that even the tiniest of
tots could play. It was released for free in specially marked packages
for in in Chex brand cereal. Now ten years later it's getting a story
re-telling.

Keeping true to the original, there is no killing whatsoever. In fact
there's not even any blood. The enemies are slime based, cereal eating
aliens, called Flemoids that are from the 'Milk Dimension' with a
nasty habit of sliming you to the floor. Possibly led by an inside
traitor, the Flemoids get access to the most secure places to create
havoc. You are sent to investigate. Try not to get stuck!


-----------------------------
New Features since Alpha 0.1:
-----------------------------

To open doors, press 'E'. To set it to whatever key you want, open the
'DoomConfig.cfg' file in any text editor (ie. Notepad) and change the
bind for "_impulse16". By default the text string reads
  bind "e"  "_impulse16"
Chnage the "e" to whatever key you would like it to be.

Installation:
-------------

Just extract this zip file straight into your Doom 3 folder. There
should be a folder called 'chex' inside the doom 3
folder. (ie. C:\Doom 3\chex) To run the game, open Doom 3 and click
the MODs tab. Load "Chex Trek: Beyond the Quest ~BETA 0.5"

Windows: 
To make a shortcut to Chex Trek, make a shortcut for Doom 3
and go into the properties and add '+set fs_game chex' at the end of
the Target text string.  (ie. the whole text string should look
something like ~~ "C:\Doom 3\DOOM3.exe" +set fs_game chex ~~)
