- Title : Who's afraid of the dark?
- Filename : WAOTD.WAD

- Description : This DOOM2, level 1 PWAD is the net result of
- playing and studying dozens of other levels. I
- incorporated all my favorite tricks and traps into
- this one, three key level.
-
- WAOTD.WAD is designed as a mini-game, taking you
- from pistol to BFG 9000. All the bad guys are here
- as well as just enough power-ups and ammo to get
- you through the level. One of the frustrating
- aspects of this level is that each goal -- ending,
- keys, etc. are in plain sight -- but you have to
- deduce how to "get there from here" while fighting
- off the strategically place enemies. You need to
- be observant as well as vigilant, and there is
- a maze problem that will challenge you too.
-
- I have included a demo file, HOW2.LMP, that shows
- the entire level played without cheating. It took
- me over 17 minutes to make it, and I know all the
- tricks! To view it be sure that WAOTD.WAD
- and HOW2.LMP are both unzipped into your DOOM2
- sub-directory. Then use the following DOS command:
-
- doom2 -file WAOTD.WAD -playdemo how2
-
- This level should provide you with many hours of
- intense action!
-
- Additional Credits to : My kids, Megan, Joe, Mike
- and Steven who put in a lot of test-play time and
- helped me root out the bugs. I think we got them
- all. I will say that most of the "bugs" turned
- out to be problems with the DoomCad node builder,
- because after processing the wad with WARM 1.3 they
- disappeared.

-
- UnZip WAOTD.ZIP and put WAOTD.WAD into your DOOM2 sub-directory.
- At the DOS prompt type:
-
- DOOM2 -FILE WAOTD.WAD
-
- and press enter; select your difficulty level and begin. I recommend you
- set your gamma correction, (F11 key), to as low a setting as you're
- comfortable with to keep with the spirit of the level! This WILL NOT
- permanently modify your game. It will only temporarily replace your level 1
- with the WAOTD level. Enjoy!
