Description             : This patch helps you navigate levels without attacks
                          from monsters but while seeing all placed things on
                          the map. It does so by making all monsters unshootable,
                          inactive and not obstacles. It also makes pick-up items
                          ungettable. The exceptions are monsters that trigger map
                          changes, which have 1 hp, and keys, that you can pick up.
                          Barrels are not obstacles but are otherwise unchanged.
                          Final boss cube spawners are deactivated. The Romero
                          head is not an obstacle but is otherwise unchanged.
