- Title : ARACHNA2.WAD
- Date Finished : the 6th of November, 1995.
- Author(s) : Bjorn Hermans (all the editing and design
- work) and Holger Nathrath (testing & comment)
- Email Address : B.T.Hermans@kub.nl or s879614@kub.nl
- Other Files By Author : SERENITY, SERENITY II aka ETERNITY,
- SERENITY III aka INFINITY, and SERSOUND (a
- new sound WAD)
- These files where created together with Holger
- Nathrath, who did most of the editting work on
- these WADs.
- Misc. Author Info : a student who is sort of addicted to DOOM and
- recently started to edit his own WADs (instead
- of testing and retouching Holger's WAD creations)
-
- Description : The evil Spider Mother has made her lair in a
- Holy Church and turned it into a place of
- Supreme Evilness.
-
- Additional Remarks : It is strongly recommended to save often in
- this WAD. There are a few spots that may seem
- too tough or too hard to handle (like when you
- encounter the Cyber Lord on the Easy level).
- In virtually all the situations like that, there
- is some kind of help available to get around this.
- There are a few very handy 'short-cuts' and
- hidden rooms. The key to discover them, as is
- the key to discover other "helping hands", is
- some kind of irregularity. This can be a
- seemingly mis-alligned texture, or a lack of
- symmetry. Don't take anything for granted, and
- have an open eye for (subtle) hints.
-
- This level is playable on Hurt Me Plenty
- without using cheats!
-
- *** SPOILERS: ***
- This level contains two secret rooms. One will
- help you to kill the Cyber Lord in an easy and
- very fast way. The other will provide you with
- extra ammo and a big health boost.
-
-
- Additional Credits to : Id for DOOM I and II, Raphael Quinet for DEU,
- John Anderson and Jim Flynn for DETH,
- the creators of WARM, NWT and WINTEX,
- and all the persons who played our previous
- WADs.

-
- A new level WAD for DOOM II
-
- * Play Information *
-
- Episode and Level # : MAP01
- Single Player : Yes
- Cooperative 2-4 Player : Yes (although untested)

- Difficulty Settings : Yes (three)

-
- * Construction *
-
- Base : ARACHNA.WAD for DOOM I.
- Build Time : A few days (I spent most of the time on
- play-testing).
- Editor(s) used : DEU 5.2 and DETH 6.2.
- Known Bugs : If you shoot too much switches at a time in
- the dungeon that is in the south, DOOM MAY bomb
- out with some kind of switch-overflow error.
- Normally this won't happen.
-
- There was a spot which kept causing a VISPLANES
- error: the door which has to be opened with
- the blue key. If you'd stand next to the door
- and turn around, DOOM would bomb out quite
- often with a VISPLANES error. To fix this I
- have moved the side walls inwards (creating a
- sort of niche). The error seems to have been
- removed by this action (mail me if I'm
- wrong!).

- * Coming Soon... *
-
- Holger Nathrath (the creator of the Serenity series) is currently
- working on new DOOM II Serenity levels (the working title of this WAD is
- SER366.WAD at this moment, but that may change). We are also working on
- a DOOM II version of the Serenity Series (I to III). The levels have had
- a sligth retouch, we will only use a selection of the levels, and the
- order in which they appear will also be changed. The current working
- title of this WAD is SER266.WAD (but we might change this into
- "Serenity Deluxe Edition" or even "Serenity 95" ;-)
- These two WADs will be released within a few weeks (but you know how
- long "a few weeks" can take in the software business...).
-
-

-
- Authors MAY use this level as a base to build additional levels as long
