- Title : CASTEVIL.WAD
- Author : Stanley Stasiak, (lordwlfie on IRC)
- Email Address : stasiak@iinet.com.au
- Misc. Author Info : deuoholic extrodinaire.
-
- Description : Castle of Evil.
- (previously released in beta form
- as ss27bet2.wad)
-
- First of all let me say...
- This is bloody *HUGE* 8)
- I've been working on this for a long
- time since most of the earlier editors
- couldn't handle a large level like this one.
-
- Made for sp, coop or dm (I aim to please.)
-
- It's pretty open with only a few doors
- requiring keycards. Other doors may require a switch.
- There are peep holes and ambush spots
- almost everywhere for happy deathmatch.
- But open spaces are also provided for those
- all out battles.
-
- Most heavy firepower is heavily guarded by
- monsters or hidden.
- The only easy weapon to get in single player
- mode is the shotgun. All the weapons are present.
-
- This level is mostly hack, slash, ambush + puzzle
- type.
-
- For more information consult the other .txt files
- in this archive.
-
- There now go kill something...
- Send me some hate mail.
-
- Hardware Requirements : 486 DX/33 VLB with > 4Mb of RAM
- Don't even contemplate a 386, you won't like it.
- If you only have 4Mb this level *will* crash or be
- extremely slothful.
-
- Software Requirements : doom registered v 1.666
- (v 1.2 will show HOM, and the demos are for 1.666)
-
-
- Additional Credits to : id software for making doom (also I reproduced a small
- part of e1m4 for this)
-
- Raphael & Co. for making DEU.
- (DEU still rulez! blah just try and load this in
- waded or edmap muhahaha! ;) ... although doomed
- might handle it.. when its out)
-
- Colin Reed for making BSP 1.2
-
- Jens Hykkelbjerg for making RMB 2.0
- (400% speed increase on UV @95% efficiency,
- oh my lord!)
-
- Thanks a bunch to slug for the waterfall texture...
- (mari0018@gold.tc.umn.edu) mail him if you
- want to rip it for your own projects, ya hear!
- ... and for the single mode demos.
-
- Thanks to O-Sensei & Co. for producing a DM
- demo/lmp (O-Sensei Red, Kluster Indigo, Yak Brown
- & Psychosis Green)
-
- Thanks to all my Single Player mode beta testers:
- Creeper, slug, Deviant, lotlhwI 'lokWEE, johndoe
- Benjos, Europia, and all the other guys on IRC.

- * Construction *
-
- Base : New level from scratch (small section (dejavu)
- reproduced to match a section of e1m4)).
- Build Time : Long long, way too long. Started in April '94
- Stopped many times because of memory restrictions
- of editors and coz I only had 4Mb b4.
- Editor(s) used : DEU (from 4.31 to 5.21gcc ... yes 4.31 was useful
- in debugging node errors of DEU 5.0, in early stages)
- BSP12x for nodes rebuilding.
- RMB 2.0 for reject table and special ambush effects.
-
- Known Bugs : You'll see HOM if you're using v 1.2 of doom so use
- v 1.666 or 1.7 ... or whichever is the latest one
- now.
- You can't save on this level. Its just too complex
- for doom. It will crash the savegame buffer if you
- try. Sorry but I tried ... :(
