- ░░▒▒▓▓ Shadows of Darkness DOOM2 WAD ▓▓▒▒░░
- DOOM2 Version
- ===========================================
- Release 2.0
- Readme file
-
- *DOOM2 MAP01*
-
- Files that should be included in "SHADOWS2.ZIP":
- ===============================================
- 1) SHADOWS2.WAD
- 2) SHADOWS2.TXT (obviously what your reading)
- 3) FILE_ID.DIZ
-
- Level specs:
- ============
- This level is for DOOM2, not DOOM (a DOOM version is out on BBSs), MAP01.
- I have included difficulty settings...they aren't as accurate as I'd like 'em.
- Cooperative play is recommended, deathmatch is good too (I put all the
- deathmatch starts in on area so you and your opponent don't have to
- run all around the level just to find each other) and solitare is fun.
- Very BIG, with many secrets and switches!!!!!!!!! Go for 100% in everything!
- This IS different in some ways from the DOOM version. Check out both and
- you'll see. Nothing major, just some more cryptic spots :)
-
- Quick info that you may, or may not care about:
- ===============================================
- This level was made by Sean Birkel of Bangor, Me using DEU521GC,
- DEU2C, and BSP1.2x. I started this level in Dec. of '94, I expected to
- finish within a month...but, no, it has taken till March 12th of '95! I made
- this for the hell of it, and hell it was...mucho hours, and many brainstorm
- headaches. Yes, I do have a life, that is why it took me 3+ months to make
- this, usually I do better things than waste time using the computer, but level
- making just seemed kinda cool. You now have what I believe to be the best
- WAD file made for DOOM2 outside of the "ID" levels in the game. I admit that
- I have some ego, but hell, I spent many f***ing hours on this damn thing and I
- say it's good! Most WADs you'll get from a BBS will have globs of stuff where
- they don't belong, one texture throughout the level...with NO alignment, no
- exit, bugs from missing textures, etc., but not this one :) I have made this
- as perfect as I could (or had the patience for :) and as close to an actual
- "Id made DOOM" level as I could. If you don't like it, well that's ok, at
- least respect the time I put in to making this "fit" together. If any of you
- out there have tried making levels but they come out bad...don't give up, it
- takes a LOT of time to understand how the editors work, It took me about 2
- months before I even had a clue about what I was doing! Anyway, I hope you
- enjoy this...please upload it to BBS's with the ORIGINAL ZIP file. You can of
- course take ideas from this and even some cutting and pasting, I just ask that
- you give credit like, "the shitty part of my level was made by this DOOMer up
- thar in Bangor, Maine." Well, thanks for reading, etc...Buh-bye :-(burp)
-
- Misc. Info that you also probably don't care about:
- ===================================================
- This level was made with DEU521GC ─────> The *BEST* level editor for DOOM!!!!
- Everything was done on a AM486DX2 80 ──> AMD makes the *BEST* CPU's:)
- Spring IS here in Maine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- =====
- If you like this level and would like to leave me a message, call Ambrosia BBS
- in Bangor, Me 207-942-7155 or any BBS's in the Bangor area (check "Computer
- Shopper" magazine for Maine 207 numbers).
-
- Extra Info
- ==========
- I've also made a DOOM2 deathmatch level called Hangar18, if you find it, get
- it! Hangar18 is the favored deathmatch level among my friends and I, and
- we only use *good* levels, if you want a copy call Ambrosia or look elsewhere.
- Remember...I would like to see these levels accross the country, and I'd
- really like to see 'em on a CD-ROM or two :)
-
- ░░▒▒▓▓ Remember the two best external DOOMII WAD files you'll ever see are
- * "Hangar18" (my personal favorite), and "Shadows of Darkness (DOOM and
- DOOM2)"!
-
- The names came from:
- ====================
- 1) Hangar18 ───> A Megadeth song
- 2) Shadows of Darkness ───> A great game by Sierra!
-
- Saying "Buh-bye:"
- =================
-
- There! I'm done! Have fun! ░░▒▒▓▓Metallica RULZ!▓▓▒▒░░ Register DOOM if
- you haven't already....my levels require the registered version, the guys at
- "Id" deserve the money, because they made a kick-ass game! "Seinfeld" is
- the *BEST* comedy show :)
