- SHIPROCK: A Frank Lloyd Wright House
-
- This Doom 1 level is a replica of the Rose Pauson residence,
- designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The house was built in Phoenix in
- 1939, and a fire from the living-room fireplace destroyed it in
- 1942. The concrete structure became known as Shiprock, and remained
- until 1980. By creative placement of teleporters, I have allowed the
- player to walk through both floors of the house with only a slight
- discontinuity.
-
- This level is intended as a tour of the house. No monsters are
- included at any level, but deathmatch equipment is available in
- Ultra-Violence mode for those who _insist_ on playing war games
- inside a work of art.
-
- To play this level properly, you will have to install the
- accompanying DeHackEd 2.3 patch file. DeHackEd is available at all
- Internet Doom archives, or if you got this level on a CD, it might
- be on that CD. Note that if you set up DeHackEd incorrectly, you
- could permanently change your DOOM.EXE, and I will not be held
- accountable! Once the patch is installed, start Doom with the
- command
-
- doom -file wadpath\shiprock.wad -warp 1 1 -skill 1
-
- substituting the modified DOOM.EXE filename for "doom" and the
- correct path of shiprock.wad for "wadpath".
-
- Note: The patch lowers the player width to fit through narrow
- halls, and suppresses the teleport flash.
