- TACO2.WAD
-
- Plotline:
- ─────────
- After going through the first hellish onslaught of mexican food, you find that
- the infestations spread far deeper than you had thought. Now the demons have
- taken all the taco bell scraps and turned a giant nuclear power plant into a
- microwave oven to reheat them! It looks pretty bad. You tighten your grip on
- your weapons and gather your comrades for an even bigger onslaught than the
- last one...

-
- What IS this thing?:
- ────────────────────
- Your computer's hard drive is now the resting place of what is called a PWAD,
- or (P)atch Wad file... When you load DOOM2.EXE with the -FILE extension, any
- PWADS that are loaded will be used to replace or overwrite information in the
- DOOM2.WAD file. Any information that is not overwritten in the DOOM2.WAD
- file is then used in the game. The DOOM2.WAD file is only overwritten in RAM
- so you don't have to worry about permanent changes to the .WAD file.
-
- Taco Doom:
- ──────────
- What is TACO2.WAD for? Well... it's the second of three coop pwads in the
- Taco Doom series... it will hopefully at one point replace the first 15
- DOOM 2 levels with Taco Doom... Why is it called Taco Doom? Don't ask... it's
- an inside joke. Anyone who knows me online knows why I called it that. What
- is it exactly? Think of it as another DOOM2.WAD file. It has levels that are
- playable as Dmatch, Coop, or solo play.
- These levels are 100% original... if you have TACO1.WAD then you may
- want to use the sounds included in that wad file. TACO1 also has the music
- files for TACO2 as well as TACO3. This wad only has the new maps and demos.
-
- Skill Ratings:
- ──────────────
- I use my skill as a player to balance the skill of my wads. Since my player
- skill has increased drastically since I released TACO1, TACO2 is about twice
- as hard. Each level pits you up against a challenging array of creatures. I
- have gotten complaints from beta testers saying that it was TOO hard and that
- they couldn't get far in skill 1 without cheat codes. Looking at the two
- TACO's carefully I decided that this was an accurate complaint... TACO2 has
- more blasting away, simply put. I know I can pass skill 1 with no problem so
- according to me, I would rank skills this way:
-
- Skill 1 : For challenging solo play.
- Skill 2 : For extreme solo play, for easy 2 player play.
- Skill 3 : A hellish nightmare for solo players,
- For fast easy 2-4 player fun...
- Skill 4 : Solo? NONONONO!... Definitely not. Best skill for
- a REALLY gorey netgame.
- Skill 5 : Are you nuts? You will DIE... I assure you. No way.
-
- Recognize it? Same one from TACO1... kinda... Anyway... for the average
- player I recommend this skill chart:
-
- Skill 1 : ONLY skill for Solo Play... others would be suicide.
- Skill 2 : Only if you could pass Skill 2 in TACO1 without much trouble
- Skill 3 : Another Hellish nightmare. Somewhat gorey net play.
- Skill 4 : BEST for netplay... straight out. However you may get
- bored of dying... if this happens try skill 3.
- Skill 5 : Forget this skill even exists. You will be beyond
- frustrated and get so bored you'll wanna quit from lack
- of success.
-
- Compared to TACO1:
- ──────────────────
- This wad has a little more dedicated towards detail in the levels. A major
- complaint with TACO1 was that even thought it was fun to play, the rooms were
- basically rectangles with lots of monsters. You'll find very few rooms with
- nothing to them in this wad... I raked my brain for cool things to add in
- this one. TACO3 is looking to be even more detailed than this one. But it
- is hard to determine which details are fun and which ones are annoying. So
- I'm trying to keep from getting TOO detailed.
-
- Regarding TICDUP:
- ─────────────────
- There is a thing that has been recently brought into the doomer world. It's
- a Tic Duplification Factor. It allows the game to run at IPX speeds
- sacrificing the smoothness in play. I strongly recommend the use of this in
- the setting of TICDUP: 2. It may get choppy at some parts, but only in some
- parts. In the rest it becomes somewhat smooth. I have played ticdup all the
- way through TACO2 and I assure you that it doesn't get too bad. Levels to
- watch out for with ticdup are levels 7 and 9. Level 9 especially runs a
- little sluggish under ticdup in the beginning. But within 5 minutes you'll
- be smooth again (unless you really suck at killing things)
-
- Who is Phane:
- ─────────────
- Phane is the author of this .WAD. Phane craves tacos. Phane gets tacos in
- his new PWAD. Phane has made only one other PWAD, a lame DMATCH PWAD called
- BiZQUiCK... You might wanna check it out. His biggest success is TACO1...
- which is a 5 level coop wad... this wad is the sequel. Phane hopes to make a
- TACO3... hopefully it will be done before quake comes out and makes DOOM2 look
- like Pac Man.
