- Castle Wolfenstein 3-D New Game Map
-
- This archive file contains three files:
-
- WOLF#1.TXT This file
- MAPHEAD.NEW
- GAMEMAPS.NEW
-
- Before you can use these files you must do a bit of changing of the original
- game files you may have on hand. The new maps won't run properly on the
- shareware demo even though they will load, it has some strange effects and
- locks up after a very short time.
-
- You will have to rename the original files. I suggest you use the same
- filename but change the extension to ".ORG" to symbolize it is an original
- file to make changing back to the original version of the game later on easy.
-
- Rename the MAPHEAD.xxx (where xxx = WL3 or WL6) to MAPHEAD.ORG.
-
- Rename the GAMEMAPS.xxx to GAMEMAPS.ORG.
-
- Now simply rename the new game files listed above to the version you have.
- If all your game files have the ".WL3" extension then rename the ".NEW" files
- with that extension.
-
- Example: REN MAPHEAD.NEW MAPHEAD.WL3
-
- If your files have extensions of ".WL6" use those extensions instead
- of the ".WL3" shown above.
-
- These files contain information for 10 totally new levels for the first game
- of Castle Wolfenstein 3-D. Don't be alarmed if you go to play games 2-3 or
- 2-6 if you have them. I have disabled the maps to those versions in these
- files. So those of you with the shareware version won't notice any difference
- in the number of games you can play, but then again you won't be getting a
- bonus of games 2-6 for free either. This is the only way I can think of
- protecting Apogee's rights while adding some new excitement to the game.
-
- To restore the original maps all you should do is rename the MAPHEAD.xxx and
- GAMEMAPS.xxx files to ".NEW" and then rename the ".ORG" files to their
- original file extension of ".WL3", or "WL6".
-
- These new floors for the most part are more complex than the originals. The
- average playing time on most (not all) of them was close to 20 minutes.
- Considering I knew where everything was it will probably take you a bit longer
- to complete each level. <Grin> This set of floors does not contain a
- "secret level" as such. I opted for a linear progression from level 1 to 10,
- however the program still shows that level 9 is a secret level when (if) you
- complete it and just gives you a completion bonus. Sorry about that. So for
- this set at least you don't have to worry about finding a secret level. I've
- also discovered a nifty little trick that I'm sure is going to have you
- cursing my name, but I won't tell you where it is! I'll let you find it
- yourself. <Grin>
-
- The self-running demo will also be affected by my changes to the file. Don't
- panic, by restoring the original files the demo will be returned to normal.
-
- One word of advice I'll pass along: SAVE THE GAME OFTEN.
-
- I hope you enjoy the new challenge.
