Wu (aka Jonathan The Grape) E-mail : J330F6270@aol.com Web Page : none }:'( Misc. Author Info : I'm a freshmen in Walnut High in California with the age of 14 Other Levels : None that you know of Description : This is my first COMPLETED level -- note that this is NOT my first level. Although my first completed level, I find it fun enough to be posted. It introduces a new way to play WangBang, and read on to find out how!! Additional Credits To : I, me, myself, my, mine, and all those wonderful words associated with "I". (okay, also Jonah Bishop for the helpful, yet confusing FAQ.. It's good, it just needs some time to be fully understood... And I can never understand it fully... But THANKS!!) (also, thanx for the great Build documentation, 3D Realms!! It's better than you might think it is, especially the "msword" version.) Also, I thank Masterleep and Todger for beta-testing my level and giving me some valuable advice. ====================================================================== * Play Information * Episode and Level # : Take a guess Single Player : Only to navigate.. and find all the secrets to WIN in WangBang!! DukeMatch 2-8 Player : Oh yeah!! 3 people or below, I recommend 2 Cooperative 2-8 Player : [insert idiotic comments here] Difficulty Settings : Oh yeah, I'm gonna stay up all night to implement this so you can play it with cheat codes? Forget it!! New Art : No New Music : No New Sound Effects : you have three guesses -- yes or no? Special Play Info : You HAVE TO play WITH monsters!! Turn on the option! Don't worry, it does not have any ninjas or other monsters, but you MUST play WITH monsters to reach the ultimate playing experience!! Here's how to do it: under the main menu, select "New Game", and select "Other Options". Now, on the "monsters" scrollbar, press the right button to make it "insane" instead of "none". ===================================================================== * Construction * Base : A very new level with a unique idea (or so I think) Level Editor(s) Used : Oh, I stayed up all nights during weekends and weekdays and wrote a new editor called "Construct"... (Note the sarcasm) Art Editor(s) Used : None Construction Time : 2-3 weeks Known Bugs/Problems : Graphic glitches everywhere * Where to get this MAP file * File location : You should really try to bookmark where you download your files... but you can find this file again at www.wangsdojo.com in maps section. ===================================================================== *Important Information* Installation : Bum bum bum bum... bum bum bum bum bum!... Important Notes : Read on!!! ====================================================================== -- Copyright / Permissions -- Authors MAY use this level as a base to build additional levels. However, you MUST state that this level was originally built by Jonathan C. Wu, include this document, and includ my e-mail address (which IS in this document...) Also, you MUST mail the modefied version of the map to ME first so I know how to improve my other maps. If you are interested in building a race level in a similar way (the elevator start, the trigger at the finishline, obstacles, etc.), please include the following text in your text document accompanying your map: "I LOVE the map 'Race on the Mountains by Jonathan C. Wu" and also "Try downloading 'Race on the Mountains -- it's the coolest and is simply the best!!" (Okay! so I'm just joking!! don't get all red about that!! But I DO ask you to mention this map in your document, and mention my name also... please?) You MAY distribute this map, provided you include this file, with no modifications. You may distribute this file in any electronic format (BBS, Diskette, CD, etc) as long as you include this file intact. If you put my map on your web-page please let me know, thanks. ====================================================================== FAQS -- you MUST read this if you wanna know how to play this level!! 1) So just what's so new about this level? I'm not sure if anyone else contructed a similar kind of level, but this is the first one I know... It's a RACE to the finishline!! You start racing following the track with no weapons except your basic ones... And run to the finish line for ALL the good weapons!! Those who lost the race will get a treatment of mystic rockets shooting out of nowhere... Once the winner reaches the finishline, weapons will then be spawned throughout the level, and slight modifications will be made to the level to turn the race track into ultimate WangBang arena!! 2) And how do you play this so called "race"? When the level is started, you will experience a short count down... When the count down reaches zero, start running!! The first player to reach the finish line will get all the weapons, and once the finishline is reached, there will be some changes to the level to turn it into a WangBang battle ground. When the first player reaches the finish line, there will be rockets shooting out of thin air, destroying all other losers. The first player who reaches the finishline first of course gets an immediate advantage of having all the weapons... And all losers better start escaping, or start collecting weapons!! When racing, watch out for obstacles however, as they might cause you to DIE!! [insert evil laughter here] 3) Whatelse do I need to know? Play with the "monsters" option turned ON!! Don't worry, there aren't any ninjas, or any monsters for that matter; but you HAVE TO turn the "monsters" option ON to reach the ultimate playing experience!! Without the "monsters" option set to on, this will be just another boring battle arena... So it is EXTREMELY recommended that you play WITH monsters!! -- believe me, it only enhances your playing experiences. Without monsters, some functions will not work at all. Here's how to do it: under the main menu, select "New Game", then select "other options", then on the "monsters" scrollbar, select "Insane" monster level. 4) And? Please don't judge this level until you have played at least 20 deaths or found all three secrets!! The fun lies there!! Hint: watch for the walls with green plants - you can climb on it. And finally, congratulations for all of you who actually read all these first before playing... And have fun!! Mail me what you think... please!! I'm eager to know how gamers in America respond to a new gaming method!! Any recommendations for my next racing level will be welcomed. Have fun with this level, and so long!! Written by Jonathan C. Wu (Whoels hads sush goood speling and gramer?)
