Title : M2ALL v1.666
Filenames : M2ALL.TXT
M2ALL.WAD
M2ALL2.WAD
Author : Magnus Vestli
Address : Lindebrate, 1464 FAGERSTRAND, NORWAY
Internet/E-mail address : Not available at present time.
(I'll be back though).
File version/Date : v1.0/April 17 1995
v1.1/September 24 1995
v1.2/October 22 1995
v1.3/October 24 1995
v1.4/October 29 1995 FINAL
Description : There are 16 levels in all. They have been
created to fit all types of gameplay.
from Single to Multiplayer. I find it
important to state that the levels are small
on purpose. I found the original DOOM levels
to be far to big for some hectic deathmatching,
especially with only two players, that's why
my levels are small. There are also very few
"safe" areas, to increase the players
adrenaline. I've created several circles, or
loops you might say, whichs enables the players
to run through the hole level, returning to
their starting point without entering any room
twice. There are also very few dead ends,
which forces the players to always watch their
back since there is seldom only one entry to
a room. This I find makes the levels much more
fun to play.
SPECIAL EFFECTS (or something like that)
- Enemies pop out from nowhere
- Walk in midair
- Teleporting barrels (a sudden death experience)
- Keys hanging in midair
- Invisible force shield
- Sky put on the floor (without that crummy line through it found in DOOM2)
- Water
- Door which close horizontally
- Invisible stairs
- Mosaic glass with & without hole
- Hanging Keen as lock on secret door (shoot Keen to unlock door)
- Hanging keen disappearing through the floor

THE STORY SO FAR
June 6, 6am. Pain. Thick red fog. Disorientation. Slowly your vision clears,
you see...a grey door....you open it. A gun, you pick it up. You are in a
small room with cement walls, the grey door closes, you see mountains in
the horizon.
So she HAD the power. Next time be nicer to old female egyptian fortune
tellers who claim they know woodo, you think to yourself. Maybe if you had
paid her she wouldn't have changed her opinion of your future from that
nice version in the Caribbien, to the one about spending all eternity in Hell.
Maybe if you had run out of her trailer before she threw that yellow dust in
your face, you would not be here...in hell. You look at your watch which
apparently "died" in the fall from your bed down to this place, it reads
June 6, 6am.....666 - The sign of AntiChrist, a shiver run down your back,
you are really here. You once read "To kill the flower, destroy the root".
In other words, kill AntiChrist or spend all eternity in pain. The choice
seems fairly obvious....you don't know how, you don't know where, you don't
know even if you'll make it......BUT YOUR NOT GIVING UP WITHOUT A FIGHT!!

* PLAY INFORMATION *
DOOM Engines tested&working : DOOM v1.9 - Ultimate DOOM
DOOM 2 v1.9
(users of other versions see known bugs)
Episode & Levels : DOOM episode 2 levels 1-9
DOOM2 level 1-7
Single player : Yes
Cooperative 2-4 player : Yes
Deathmatch 2-4 player : Yes
Difficulty settings : Yes. The difficulty settings speak for
themselves. I wanted to reach the hole
spectre of players, so the easiest setting is
EASY, and the hardest is "kind of" hard, but
not so hard that you must play for an
eternity just to make one level. There are
thousands of WAD's out there, and if the ones
I try are too hard, I just TERMINATE them. I
really don't want this to happen to my levels.
I wan't the players to experience what I have
spent one and a half year building & perfecting.
New Graphics : Yes. Parts of the menu(including new skill
levels, the end/startup pictures, new
infobar called "techbar" created by
Josh aka Phallus & I added those cool
Mosaic windows from Heretic.
New Music : Yes. Took my favourite tunes from DOOM/DOOM2
added them to the levels I found
appropriate to create the MOOD.
Also include one classic tune.
New Sounds : Yes. A new Chaingun sound & new boss speech.
Taken from the four level BETA demo
of Hexen.
Demos replaced : Yes. Check them out if you get stuck, they
might just give you a few hints.
Special Deathmatch info : At level DOOM E2M1 & DOOM2 MAP4 there are
two arenas made for two player deathmatch.
The first one is where you find the blue key.
I call it the boxing arena, the other one is
close to where the red key is on DOOM E2M1,
you'll find it. They are both excellent
to have fist or chainsaw fights in.
Further more I highly recommend DOOM E2M2 &
DOOM2 MAP3 for deathmatch play.
*******************************************************************************
* Construction *
Base : ALL levels buildt from scratch, except DOOM2
level 6 where I "borrowed" some small amount
of leveldesign from the original DOOM2.
Build Time : Over a YEAR now & still going strong! Can you
belive it? Well I'm a perfectionist so things
I do takes time. I started June 1994, and I
just finished it today, October 29 1995.
Editors used : Deu 5.0, Deu 5.21 32-bits version, Deu2 5.21
for DOOM 2, Dmaud v1.0 & v1.1, Dmgraph v1.0
& v1.1, NWT v1.3, & Bsp v1.0.
Known bugs : I have playtested M2ALL a LOT, & I am pleased
to announce that there are NO level errors that
I can find (errors = it crashes ++). If however
M2ALL does crash, or it run's slightly slow,
check your RAM or graphic card. It works fine
on my (now soon to be upgraded) 486DX2-66Mhz
with 8 RAM. Which is the machine M2ALL has
been optimized for. I have decided to only work
with the versions DOOM v1.9 - Ultimate DOOM &
DOOM 2 v1.9, and so I have NOT tested any
other versions.
History (upgrades) : v0.9 - My very first Wad. Made for DOOM E2M1.
Just a bunch of Barons really. This
level was dumped after a short while,
and never made any later release. It
didn't quite "do it".
v1.0 - Consisted of an amazing 1 level
(level 2 2). It started out as a
true copy of my own house, it
changed though (the level I mean), into
something completely different.
v1.1 - The amount of levels where expanded to
9 (a hole episode). + bug fixes on
level 2 2.
v1.2 - Major bug fixes on all levels resulting
in creating a hole new level for level
2 3 (the old one just didn't do it).
created 6 new levels for DOOM2.
v1.3 - FINAL VERSION. Added A Story, Graphics,
Music & Demos. Finally I wrote this file.
v1.4 - FOOLED YOU, actually I fooled me. How
could I for one second belive I would
be finished with levelmaking? Well
enough about v1.3 being "FINAL".
For this version I REMOVED all music,
demo's & graphic's(not the story),
since I wasn't happy with them in the
first place (will create new ones
for v1.5). Changed the name from v1.3's
M2ALL - Death by entry.
To ASH(to ashes)pt.1/2 - M2ALL DOOM v1.4
& ASH(bashes)pt.2/2 - M2ALL DOOM2 v1.4
I TOTALLY renewed the DOOM2 levels,
making them far better. Changed the
names of the M2ALL files from M2ALL.WAD
,M2ALL2.WAD and M2ALL.TXT to ASH.WAD,
ASH2.WAD and ASH.TXT. I also updated
this file to "file v1.1".
v1.5 - New and FAR better graphics. Added
graphics for parts of the menu,
skill levels, start & intermission
pictures. Cool mosaic windows & a grave.
Old graphics from v1.3 which was not
deleted has been finetuned to fit
v1.9 of both games. New sounds taken
from the beta demo version of Hexen.
Sounds include Chaingun sound, elevator
sound & new boss speech. Level 1-6 for
DOOM2 are now "probably" in their final
version. Music has been altered & is
now far more adjusted to the "feel" of
the levels than before. The title has
been changed yet again. Now it's called
EVIL - M2ALL DOOM v1.5. The files
ASH.WAD, ASH2.WAD and ASH.TXT, have been
altered to EVIL.WAD, EVIL2.WAD and
EVIL.TXT. This file has been updated
to "file v1.2", and "file v1.3".
EVIL - M2ALL DOOM v1.5 was completed:
24 October 1995.
v1.666 - FINAL FINAL FINAL FINAL FINAL VERSION.
This is I just stated IS the final
version, and it brings my DOOM level
creating mania to a close. Added another
level for DOOM2, level 7, bug fixed DOOM
levels & created a hole new level for
DOOM 2 7. Added the ending to the story.
Added some graphics, plus included Josh
aka Phallus' Techbar patch. This title
stuff was making me crazy. M2ALL is thy
name, as me again and I'll tell you the
same. It has always been & always will
be M2ALL that is the original and
correct name. Nothing more to say on
the subject. The files have been changed
(for the last time) from EVIL.TXT,
EVIL.WAD & EVIL2.WAD to M2ALL.TXT,
M2ALL.WAD & M2ALL2.WAD. The last
finishing touch to M2ALL was updating
this file to "file v1.4 - FINAL" which
took place : 20.15 - 29 October 1995.
M2ALL is finished.
Title history : Understand the title? NO? Then I will explain.
* For v0.9 & v1.0 there wasn't really any title
at all.
* For v1.1 the title M2ALL came to life.
The M stands for Magnus, the 2 stands for
episode 2 and ALL stands for all levels.
I used names as m21.wad,m22.wad,m23.wad to
recognize my levels. When I grouped then
M2ALL.WAD came natural. Call me old
fashioned but when you work with something
for a year, you kind of get attached to the
title.
* For v1.2 the title didn't change.
* For v1.3 I added a subtitle to make it.....
...well, better. The new title was now:
M2ALL - Death by entry
"Death by Entry" just sounded cool really.
Besides, if you`re a "less experienced"
player you WILL die pretty quick at the
harder levels anyway.
* For v1.4 M2ALL has become the subtitle.
The new title is now:
ASH(to ashes)pt.1/2 - M2ALL DOOM v1.4
ASH(bashes)pt.2/2 - M2ALL DOOM2 v1.4
I belive this looks far better than the old
title. ASH is the name of the character you
play, & "from ASH to ashes" means that Ash
fry the demons he(you) kill so badly, there's
nothing left but ashes. "ASH bashes" means
that he(you) woops the enemies ass REAL GOOD!
* For v1.5 M2ALL is still the subtitle, but
the main title has now been changed to
EVIL.
The new title is now:
EVIL - M2ALL DOOM v1.5
It's evil because evil is what surrounds you.
It's why you're here, it's what you need to
destroy to survive.
* For v1.666 M2ALL has become the only, & true
name. What it stands for, read above.
(This is all very interesting isn't it).
