-
- Base : All new levels from scratch
- Build Time : Between three and four months
- Editors used : DEU2, NWT, MIDI2MUS, BSP
- Known Bugs : The game will sometimes crash on level four for
- no apparent reason. I suspect it might have
- something to do with the light switch on the East
- side of the map, but the problem is so rare I can't
- be sure. If anyone knows why, or finds any other
- errors, let me know, I LOVE having people point out
- my mistakes. ;-)
-
- * Copyright / Permissions *
-
- Authors CAN use these levels as a base to build additional levels. Just give
- me some credit, ok?
-
- * Where to get this WAD *
-
- FTP sites : Try looking wherever you just got this from. (duh?)
-
- Additional Information:
-
- The first eight levels are all small, non- linear levels designed to be
- great as either single or deathmatch games. The last two are probably too
- linear for a good deathmatch game, but the features are there if you want to
- try.
-
- I (composed?) all of the music in this wad (eleven songs, in all) except
- for the music on level two. The level two midi file didn't have any info with
- it on what it is, who wrote it or who made it into a midi file. But, it
- sounded good so I used it. The rest of the music is mine, so please give me
- credit if you use it elsewhere. Just to warn you: I'm not a musician and I've
- never played a musical instrument in my life, so don't expect to hear the
- greatest music in the world. I tried. :-)
-
- The "Face" at the end is really just a cyberdemon behind a picture of me.
- You will have to kill it before you can exit the level. (unless you're
- cheating) Hitting the center of the picture should guarantee a hit on the
- cyberdemon. The face is actually a picture of myself, taken three years ago
- (1992), at my girlfriend's prom. If you look at the bottom of the picture,
- you can just see (sort of) that I'm wearing a tux.
-
- I replaced many of the sounds in the game, mostly dealing with doors,
- elevators, and other moving stuff. I "borrowed" many of the sounds from other
- WAD files, particularly the weapons sounds. The only monster I altered was the
- cyberdemon. I replaced its stomping sound with silence, so the only
- way to know that you've killed the cyberdemon (besides standing in front of
- the picture and seeing if it takes a shot at you) is to listen for a scream
- when you kill it. (I just couldn't figure out how to make the picture change
- when he dies!)
