- Misc. Author Info : |~~~~~~~~~| I live in a small town.
- | | |~~\ | I spend more time with wad-building now..
- | |__|__/ | I used to play tennis, now I play DOOM :(
- | | | | I like beer, chess, techno, demos, Doom,
- | | | | travelling, playing cards, computers, GUS,
- |_________| and...
- ==============================================================================
- Description : - This is my first creation. But I tried to avoid
- mistakes like too high sector, too long line, HOM,
- texture misalignment and such ...
- - It took me many hours and when I finished the level
- after several weeks, I didn't want to have just a few
- soldiers. So, this is gonna be tough.
- - No Cyberdemon, but several spiders. But wait! The one
- in the first room is here just for the story and will
- be killed later. All other spiders are only
- decorations and won't be killed. A few cacos and
- barons. (total: over 330 enemies)
- - You will be given all weapons except the BFG.
- - Don't believe in invulnerability. (It sucks).
- - There are no traps or places where you would stuck.
- - No puzzles, just an instant and hard action.
- Hey, this is DOOM!
- - My plan was to design an original subway area and
- sewers. (of course). When I started, I hadn't played
- a single pwad before. So I didn't steal any idea,
- just was not first.
- - THE LEVEL WAS DESIGNED FOR ONE PLAYER ONLY AS A STAND
- ALONE WAD. PLAY THE LEVEL AND QUIT. YOU SHOULD HAVE
- A FAST 486 (designed on DX2-66 VLB).
- - I can complete the level in about 20 minutes.
-
- Additional Credits to : Everybody who made this possible. (Would be a long
- list.)
- ============================================================================
-
- * Play Information *
-
- Episode and Level # : E1M1 + a tiny level E1M9 (after finishing the first
- level, read the story and load the pwad again,
- and press idclev19 - I don't want you to
- have any ammo. This is THE BERSERK TIME!!
- READ THE STORY for details.
- Single Player : Yes
- Cooperative 2-4 Player : Yes - only Ultraviolence and Hurt me plenty
- Deathmatch 2-4 Player : Yes - only Hey, not too rough!!!!
- Difficulty Settings : Yes (HMP, UV) - play UV anyway, E1M9 has just one
- New Sounds : Yes (8), from various shareware collections and some
- of them are my criples
- New Music : No
- New Graphics : Yes (Title screen and SKY1 were scanned, other images
- were drawn by myself, one of them using original
- id's wooden texture)
- Demos Replaced : No
-
- * Construction *
-
- Base : New level from scratch (Is there anyone who would
- modify existing levels?)
- Build Time : Three month. O.K., I took a nap, finished exams and
- did a gazilion other things. May be 200 hours?
- Editor(s) used : DEU 5.1, DEU 5.21gcc, BSP 1.1, BSP 1.2, DMGRAPH,
- DMAUD, MIDI2MUS, Ted, Advanced Digiplayer v3.0b,
- IPhotoDeluxe, PhotoStyler, FastTracker, MOD2MID,
- MIDIsoft Session,
- Hardware used : 486DX2-66 VLB, 386DX40, HP ScanJet IIcx, SB 2.0, GUS
- Known Bugs : Bugs? NO! Just drawbacks. One room is a bit slow
- (127 lines and 55 sprites on the screen), I made
- the save possible (If you added one other thing,
- DOOM would hang up.) Now, the machine hangs only
- when I exit to DOS (using v 1.2). The sky texture
- is flipped horizontaly, dunno why but I don't care.
- Ummmmmm, ..... may be not perfect English? :)
- In DOOM 1.666+ should be NO PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!

- ==============================================================================
- This level was not tested, because people that I know have just 386s, no time
- for intensive playing doom and just slight experience with external levels.
- Therefore I would really appreciate the feedback.I am opened to your criticism.
- If it is not problem for you, record your first try or your best try to let
- me see how you think during the game. I NEED IT FOR MY FUTURE WADBUILDING!
- Send it zipped and uuencoded on my somewhere above mentioned e-mail address.
- I will answer any questions and problems you have.I just want to get your mail.
- So don't be lazy and encourage a lonely but still happy DOOMer.
-
-
- And the last thing:
-
- DO NOT CHEAT, PLEASE! THERE IS NO REASON TO DO IT. THERE ARE NO MAZES,
- IMPOSSIBLE PLACES, TELEPORTERS OR PUZZLES. YOU GET ENOUGH AMMO TO KILL
- EVERYTHING (except those decorative SpiderDemons). DON'T BOTHER TO SAVE
- YOUR GAME AFTER CLEARING 1 SQUARE METER. THERE ARE NO TRICKS, JUST
- SURPRISES. IF YOUR HEALTH IS LOW AFTER YOU GOT FROM CROSS FIRE, THERE
- SHOULD BE A MEDICAL KIT OR A SOUL SPHERE ROUND THE CORNER.
-
-
- THE BEST ACTION IS NON-INTERRUPTED ACTION!!!

-
- This CD version of GALAXIA.WAD eliminates some drawbacks of the version that
- could be found on Internet from July 29th 1994. It was optimized to be also
- a good co-op. wad. I recommend to play with respawning items. I don't think
- anyone would want to play deathmatch (you would need very fast machines),
- but if you do, start with -skill 2 -nomonsters. It will limit the size of
- playing field with additional columns. And one more thing... you will not have
- access to exit switch, so play with -timer XX (XX..minutes)
- I also removed music that caused crashes on DOOM v. 1.666+ and replaced shotgun
- sound.
- I did some minor touches to it, but you will not probably notice it.
- I also built better reject, which I had no idea in the time of building about.
- It means the level should be faster now.
