Author Info : Author of Berserk.wad, !Wow!.wad, !Pipe!.wad, Eye of the Beholder I Description : I will go into more detail later... Additional Credits to : John Krutke for the cool-ass sky texture. My Parents for buying two Pentium 90's, 32Megs of Ram, and network adapters. ================================================================ * Play Information * Episode and Level # : DOOM II Maps 1-7 Single Player : Yes (Would anyone put NO?) Cooperative 2-4 Player : Yes Deathmatch 2-4 Player : Of course!! Difficulty Settings : Yes New Sounds : Yes New Graphics : Just Titlepic and level names for now... New Music : Yes, all music (c) 1995 Jon Landis If the music doesn't sound too good, buy new hardware! I recommend TURTLE BEACH and ROLAND wavetable cards. Others may say WAVETABLE, but they sure don't sound that way! Demos Replaced : There's one of Map04. * Construction * Base : New levels from scratch Editor(s) used : DEU II, MKD2EDIT, BSP v1.2, TBSP v2.2, RMB v2.0, MIDI2MUS, MUS2PWAD, DMAUD, DMGRAPH, DMMUSIC, Voyetra Sequencer Pro, Aldus Photostyler, Corel Photo Paint 4, DEHACKED, DEUSF Known Bugs: : Except for the fact that its not finished yet, Nothing. Note to people that want to reverse engineer these technological wonders. There are some effects in these levels that will seriously confuse the error checking facilities of most level editors. There isn't supposed to be a lower or upper texture someplaces. I haven't used any reject oriented special effects, so rebuild those nodes to your heart's delight. * Copyright / Permissions * Authors (MAY) use this level as a base to build additional levels. Hey DOOM authors. I am optimized the REJECT data on all of these levels, but I found that no special effects were nessesary. Don't worry about losing anything but speed when recompiling these levels. Be careful, or you may nuke all the music and graphics. DON'T BE STUPID! You MAY distribute this WAD, provided you include this file, with no modifications.

Other: If you happen to be in the neighborhood, it is on my computer here at U of M. For all you astute readers out there, who would rather read this stupid file than play some DOOM, here is a reward section. Hints that may help you complete EOB II (Short edition) Level #1 : Blocks HINT: Find a shotgun, you'll need it. You just can't get certain items, they are for deathmatch, there just to taunt you. Deal with it. Level #2 : The Pool HINT: SAVE OFTEN!!!! Look for irregularities in the water, to open the 1st entrance. You HAVE to jump out of various high places. Just do it. Shoot the back of the bloodiest lift. Level #3 : Radiation HINT: The light is bad, stay clear. You need limited doses of the light to complete the level though. Sometimes you just gotta be quick. The button with 6 candles near it MUST be pressed 6 times. Sorry about this, there was no other way to do it. I think I'll make it standard. If there are a bunch of candles by a switch. Count the candles and push the switch that # of times. Level #4 : Entropy HINT: Watch for self exploding barrels. YIKES! It is best to not set off the barrels, 'cause you may want to get behind the triggering mechanism. (Hint, hint....) Level #5 : Ring of Fury HINT: Look for the Map item, you may need it. Level #6 : Leap of Faith HINT: Trust your feelings. You must believe. The ending is tricky. You have to be quite speedy. Try and try again and again and again. You'll get it. Level #7 : Arachnophobia HINT: Kill all the spiders. (little ones) Get all the keys. Watch for invisoBarons! YIKES! though you have to go through it sometimes. The light can be harmful. GOOD LUCK! LMP files will be available where you got this file, eventually... EOB II: short edition (c) 1995 Jon Landis
