- Title : Pistol.wad, a wad for Doom2.
- Filename : pistol.wad
- Author : Ennead
- Email Address : Ennead@student.umass.edu
- Misc. Author Info : Ennead lives in Amherst, Mass, with
- many housemates, an irish setter, and
- too much time on his hands.
-
- Story : A Mauser .486: the finest gun ever invented
- by man, God or demon. See how it gleams in
- the half-light! How beautiful its curves...
- like the smooth hip of a lover, except you
- can shoot people with it. My daddy had a gun
- just like it... how I loved that man! I
- haven't felt truly alive ever since that
- cyber-demon caught him with his pants down...
-
- Description : This wad replaces episode 1, is quite large,
- and features a lot of twisty passages, big
- rooms and violence. The layout is reasonably
- interesting; most things interconnect, one way
- or another. There aren't any misaligned
- textures - I hate seeing that - or pits that
- you can't get out of. There are a few secret
- areas, but none that you need to find to be
- able to complete the level. You do have to
- flip nearly all the switches, though.
-
- The "gimmick," I suppose, is that you'll have
- to go nearly the entire wad with nothing better
- than your trusty pistol (and guts of steel,
- natch). There's nothing here you can't kill
- - but you won't be able to kill everything,
- or finish every room, the first time you
- encounter it. If you hate wads in which you
- need to pay attention and dodge a lot, DON'T
- download this!

- Additional Credits to : The creators of deu, dck, wad1to2, bsp,
- rmb, and (especially) Doom2. Also, my
- many patient housemates, notably Paul,
- Charles, Kip, Matt, and Vince, who
- playtested, and Brad, who let me use
- his 486.

- * Construction *
-
- Base : New level from scratch
- Editor(s) used : Deu, dck.
- Known Bugs : There are a couple of places where razor-thin
- vertical lines appear that I can't get rid of;
- they don't hinder play in any way.
-
- Time spent constructing : At least 50 hours (I work slow).
-
- * Copyright / Permissions *
-
- Authors may NOT use this level as a base to build additional
- single-player levels, but if anyone wants to modify this for
- multi-player or deathmatch use, feel free (but do let me know
- when you've done it). Pistol.wad is too big to make a good
- deathmatch, imo, but it might be fun played cooperatively.
