With most ports there is no need to use deusf; the wads can be loaded directly. =========================================================================== There follows the text of the author's original text-file, which is included in maw.zip. ================================================================ Title : Perdition's Maw Filename : MAW.ZIP (MAW.WAD MAWGFX.WAD MAWSND.WAD MAW.TXT) Author : Matt Bollier Email Address : CSERVE : 103220,3302 Misc. Author Info : Author of D2PRISON.WAD, DOWNTOWN.WAD, STYX.WAD SENTRY.WAD, MERC.WAD, D2GOTCHA.WAD, REFINERY.WAD MINES.WAD, and ENTRY.WAD. Description : Hell has taken over the Earth and you are the only hope. You must journey to the underworld and fight Satan's spawn with deadly force. You start in a courtyard and work your way to the darkest pits of hell. Intense deathmatch action. Has unique original deathmatch starts which completely eliminate cheap frags gained from killing someone the second they start. You'll see... Included in the MAWGFX.WAD are new graphics that replace the death scenes for a few of the monsters and a few of the gore sprites. Watch the blood fly! You'll need to have DEUSF for this or NwT or something along those lines. In MAWSND.WAD I've collected sounds and music and put the best of the best together. Credit has to go the makers of the WADs that I borrowed the sound and music from. Additional Credits to : ID, Ben Morris, Colin Reed, Andy Badorek for sounds and music from TWISFX.WAD, Bill Neisius, Bjorn Hermans for music from ETERMUS.WAD Olivier Montanuay, Ian Springer for music from GOREGSND.WAD, Gary Atkinson for playtesting ================================================================ * Play Information * Map # : MAP01-MAP03 Single Player : Yes Cooperative 2-4 Player : Yes Deathmatch 2-4 Player : Yes Difficulty Settings : Yes New Sounds : Yes - MAWSND.WAD New Graphics : Yes - MAWGFX.WAD New Music : Yes - MAWSND.WAD Demos Replaced : None * Construction * Base : New level from scratch Build Time : Months, I started this back in September, but left it alone for awhile.

Do you hate the whole damn thing? Tell me this stuff. I want to know. Also send me any comments towards any other WAD I have made. And if you have any ideas for my next WAD send 'em to me. I can make just about anything (I've made burning overturned cars, helicopters, street lights....) I'm on CSERVE at 103220,3302. What's next you say? Well I'm thinking maybe a sequel to SENTRY.WAD (a great level I made which can be found on cserve in the doom2 deathmatch forum) but this time put in even more detail. Yea, I know what you're thinking. After having cars in a level how do you top that? Well, actually, I don't know. But this level is gonna defy all that you thought was impossible with the DOOM 2 engine. It's gonna be huge, it's gonna look just like a real city, right down to the last detail. This may not be final, but I'm thinking of possibly having citizens in the streets or on the sidewalk. I already know how to do it, it's just a matter of if it's worth it. You'd need to use a dehacked patch and I really don't like messing with the .exe so I'll prob. skip that idea. But, it's still a possibilty, I could change the graphics of a certain sprite, like the pillar for example. The only problem with that is if you don't use the graphics patch then the level looks stupid with a bunch of pillars in the street. Plus, without a dehacked patch you cant shoot the innocent citizens which wouldve been very cool. Maybe I'll turn commander keen into citizens, but then they'd have to be hanging from the ceiling. I don't know what I'll do, but believe you me, this is gonna be better than Perdition's Maw, and it's gonna be the next best thing to Quake. And if you're looking for something like this that challenges all that DOOM 2 limits crap, download D2PRISON.ZIP. I made birds chirping by the trees, a helicopter, etc. And you don't even have to use a patch to get all the cool effects. * Where to get this WAD * CSERVE: ACTION GAMES FORUM - DOOM 2 LEVELS - MAW.ZIP ============================================================================= * TECHNICAL QUESTIONS * Here are some, ummm, commonly asked questions relating to this WAD. Q: Sometimes, when I play this WAD I get the urge to kill and then I slash my wrists and run through the streets yelling, "The end is nigh!" A: Obviously you have some psychological problem. This could be related to the WAD (yeah right) or perhaps some childhood incident. Were you at any time, subjected to military drug experiments, have you ever eaten a whole container of glue, or have you ever hung out with Michael Jackson? If you answered yes to any of these questions you should probably seek help at your nearest shelter for the mentally ill. Q: Why is the sky blue? A: Perhaps you didn't read above. This is SUPPOSED to be a area for questions about this WAD. But noooooooooo, thanks to people like you valuable space is wasted. Just for that, I'm not gonna answer that question. Q: I hate you and your WADS! Go to hell! A: Well that's not really a question, so we'll skip to the next one. Q: Is there a point to this section? A: Congratulations! You finally caught on! The answer is NO. And if you didn't know by now, these were jokes, and are not meant to be taken seriously. And remember, that coffee at the drive-thru is hot!
