What is Deathtag? ================== Deathtag is a whole new approach to playing multiplayer Doom. In the past, the purpose was to have as many frags as possible. Deathtag offers a new purpose for two-on-two Doom II play, to invade the opposing fort, reach a switch, and escape alive. How do you play? ================ Playing DDAYTAG is very simple. 1) There are two teams, a blue team and a red team. Each team has their own battlefield. (Green/Indigo = Blue Team, Brown/Red = Red Team) 2) The objective: In the opposing field, there is a switch that you must reach. IF you hit that switch, back in your own field your partner will be awaiting the door to open to access a radiation suit. 3) The radiation suit is needed because your team will then have to cross a long pit of lava to reach a scoring switch. You can only get one point per suit, and make sure you don't miss that switch when you get to it (better be slamming on that spacebar once you start getting close). 4) Once your team has scored FIVE points (there are colored posts raised up all over the map indicating each team's score), your team will THEN have access to "The Flag" (remember, this is a capture-the-flag style level). "The Flag" is a final switch that will need to be hit, still out in the lava so an additional suit will be needed to reach it. Once this final switch has been hit, at the exit a "RED" or "BLUE" sign will raise and the level reset switch will then be accessible. /*********THIS IS VERY VERY VERY IMPORTANT, SO LISTEN UP!!!! :)**************\ | Note: You can ONLY take the suit out of your own fort. The blue team | | gets their suit out of the blue fort, the red team gets their suit out | | of the red fort. Obtaining the suit out of the opponents fort will not | | help you to score a point. | | | | PS: INVADERS, follow the arrow of your teams color, and hit that switch | | RAD MEN, go into your field, and wait by your colors door. | | | \****************************************************************************/ 5) Teleports: When you first start, you will see colored teleports. Going into the blue will take you to the blue side of the battlefield, and going into the red will take you to the red side of the battlefield. 6) Telefrags: Since frags are not the goal, telefrags coming out of the starting area are frowned upon. 7) How can you see the score? Just take a look at the 2 different types of scoreboards. One of them is located in the start, and you can gain access there everytime you get a point. This is a very self-explanatory scoreboard, and unless you cant read, you should be able to tell who is winning. The second type is located at the place where you first teleport. It is 2 poles inside of a cage, which has been placed inside of on of the walls. Count the number of skulls to see how many points you and your opponents team currently has. That's it, play and enjoy! I hope that this wad goes far but i cant really make it do too much without your help. So download it and then try it out on your local dooming BBS. Dwango, or DoomNet [2198363060] [thats a call to northwest indiana just so you know] are the best ones i know. [PS: If you want to try out DoomNet, send an E-Mail message to MAC, and ask really politely for a free trial. CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP RATES!!!] [PPS: DoomNet is APCi For now, but we may change to SIRDOOM if they dont get APCIDESCENT and APCIROTT up and running very soon...]
