- Title : The Final Gathering
- Filename : GATHER.WAD
- Author : Daniel "Stormin" Norman
- Email Address : 70437.3146@compuserve.com
- Misc. Author Info : Everything I really needed to know I learned
- on the Shores of Hell.
-
- Description This is the final revision to The Gathering. I
- put the starts in on each level for deathmatch
- play. I think E2M3 is probably your best bet.
-
- The original file was a large one level mission.
- added an entire mission E2M1 and added a lot more
- rooms to the original, which I split into two separate
- levels. They're fun.
-
- I think these levels are great. Something
- for everyone I hope. I'm sure you've never seen
- some of the things that are in my twisted head.
-
- The moon base water treatment and recycling
- center started reporting strange happenings
- deep in there sewer system a few weeks ago.
- Just days later a garbled transmission during
- the sounds of battle made it through to the UAC
- outpost on Deimos 4.
-
- "Nuke us.......it's the only.....have to...
- ....cant make this......sewers...cavern...
- from hell"
-
- was all that could be understood from the message.
- Not much to go on, but that's what you're used to.
- They don't give you any easy ones, and you don't get
- to ask to many questions.
-
- The UAC needs you to investigate and "rectify" any
- potential hazards on the water treatment facility.
-
- Good luck.
-
- Dang! what the heck was that? Just two tunnels and
- an underpass from the UAC water treatment plant. The
- driver never saw the creature waiting in the tunnel.
- In a flash it was over. Nothing could have survived
- that crash... you could be wrong ... you did. I guess
- your on foot now. Be careful, the truck that was
- escorting you was carrying emercency supplies for the
- plant personnel and some toxic waste. Watch it, that
- stuff is flammable.
-
-
- Additional Credits to : My wife. She is absolutely the greatest gal
- in the whole world. A true DOOM widow at times
- but alway delightful.
-
- : Mike "All I want is a plasma gun" Hough;
- the greatest space marine in UAC history.
- Mike spent hours playtesting this level.
- Thanks for the encouragement.
-
- : ID Software - WOW! Thank you so much. This has
- become a way of life.
-
- : Collin Reed for the BSP Utility
-
- : Raphael Quinet and Brendon Wyber for the awesome
- DEU 5.21 editor. You guys are brainiacs.
-
- : My mother, the acadamy and all my grade school
- friends..... ;)

- Episode and Level # : E2M1, E2M2, E2M3
- Single Player : Yes
- Cooperative 2-4 Player : Yes
- Deathmatch 2-4 Player : YES

- Violence. E2M3 is a challenge.
-
-
- New Sounds : No, they got annoying
- New Graphics : No, but wait till you see how I used the existing
- textures!
- New Music : No, I'm a marine, not a musician.
- Demos Replaced : All - Watch the demos for a clue to the first
- puzzle. But I didn't want to spoil many secrets so
- the good stuff is not in any of the demos.
-
-
- * Construction *
-
- Base : New level from scratch
-
- Editor(s) used : DEU, BSP
-
- Build Time : All my LIFE!!!!
-
- Known Bugs : Bugs? You think I spend hundreds of hours on this
- for bugs?.....Jeeez. Seriously, I tested this to
- death. There's a bit of a flash when you enter or
- exit one very tall room. It doesn't always happen
- and I don't think it takes away from the game. I
- thought about writing my own DOOM like engine to
- get around the problem. I could do it, yeah, and
- monkeys might fly out of my butt.
