DBP51: Deadly Ritual

From DoomWiki.org

Deadly Ritual is a 12-level episode replacement for Doom II designed for limit removing source ports, created by various members of the Doomer Boards community, led by Jon Vail (40oz). It is the 51st entry in the ongoing Doomer Boards Projects. Work on the project was carried out during August 2022. The first version was released on September 1, 2022.^[1] After some bugfixing the final version was uploaded to the idgames archive on January 4, 2023. The mapset features a Mesoamerican theme.

The mod uses an internal DEHACKED lump to change the level names. Custom PLAYPAL, ZMAPINFO, and UMAPINFO lumps are also included.
