I have the difficult task to find a story for this level... Well, here's the deal : Play this level - Find a story - Mail-it to me - If I find it interesting, I'll put your lines in the text file of the complete package of a whole episode for Heretic !.. I'm planning to use this level as ExM1 of a whole new episode.. why not ? :-) Well, if you wanna learn more about this level, I should day that some areas require a good control of your steps, because you might fall into lava ! Additional Credits to : * Authors of DEEP 8.76 * Alex Devilliers, sysop of the GOLD DRAGON BBS, that encouraged me to continue building levels for ID-Games. * My mother who thinks my computer only helps me to expand the phone bill when going on the Net... ;] * My dear computer who accepted to stay turned on during long hours... * My really dear Pentium CPU that accepted overclocking from 75 Mhz to 83 Mhz -I know it's not wonderful, only 8 mhz more, but it's safe and I can see effects ! :-) * Guys at FTP.CDROM.COM, for allowing people, especially Id-Games Wads builders to upload and publish their work! * Guys at PC FUN, a french magazine that contains, each month, a kewl CD-Rom with cool stuff, I sent them this Wad so that they could publish it on this CD.. Thanxx a lot , guys ! ================================================================ * Play Information * Episode and Level # : E1M1 (For HERETIC) This level has been tested with Heretic v1.3, Shadow of the Serpent Rider, and works fine. Single Player : Yes (works fine !) Cooperative 2-4 Player : Yes (not tested yet, but should work properly !) Deathmatch 2-4 Player : Yes (not tested, but should work !) NOTE: The level is a bit too small to provide a nice deathmatch zone... Cooperative mode might be really helpful if you're playing in Black Plague skill... However, I included a LMP demo to show you how to beat the level when playing with the hardest skill.. Just look below to learn how to view this demo ! Difficulty Settings : Yes Note: After being teleported, you'll see a small swimming-pool in the main room... This pool, that contains one or two enemies, has Statues+Orbs nearby.. If the Orb is Green, you're playing Easy level If the Orb is Blue , you're playing Med level If the Orb is Yellow you're playing Hard level. So, if you don't remember what skill you're playing, just look at them ;) New Sounds : Not in this one, sorry dudes.. New Graphics : Just one ! The RSAC ADVISORY that is shown at the beginning has been changed.. I do that in almost all of my Wads, so that people can know who made the Wad they play :) New Music : YES !! Well, this music is not really a very kewl one, but it is, originally, one of my personal MOD module files that I tried to convert to MIDI format.. You might find it nice or not nice at all.. Well, at least, I tried to convert one of my music modules, since I don't have any MIDI-tracker.. :-( Demos Replaced : None, in order to avoid compatibility problems.. HOW TO SEE THE TWO DEMOS INCLUDED. This Wad is packaged with two LMP demos. You really shouldn't view these demos without playing the Wad first.. But, if you really can't beat this level without any cheat code or any clue, then ok, you're allowed to view these demos.. You can view these demos after beating the level :))) Just to see if you're a better player than me :)) But remember, in the seconde demo, I tried to play so that the people that looks this demo has sufficient time to understand what happens ... ;) To view a demo, just type this : HERETIC -FILE BECAREFL.WAD -PLAYDEMO [demoname,without the extension] Demos are : FASTEST = This demo shows you how to end this level in just 10 seconds :) VIEWALL = This demo show you how to beat this level when playing at Hardest skill.. Shows you a nice strategy too ! * Construction * Base : Completely new level Editor(s) used : DEEP 8.76 Known Bugs : I tried to completely avoid textures misplacements and display bugs.. There might be some of them somewhere in this level, but they're not obvious so it won't bother you. Build Time : Several months.. since I started this Wad one day, and I didn't continued to build it.. I should say this Wad represents 7 hours of effective work.. Hints : No hints !!! :) However, there are some secret places :) Try to find them ! * Copyright / Permissions * You MAY NOT use this WAD as a base for a new level, since I uploaded this Wad in several places, I event sent this wad to magazines so that they could put it on their CD-Rom... However, you are allowed to include it in another WAD containing other maps, provided you send me a copy of this wad, and you tell me where you uploaded/send it... You MAY upload this WAD anywhere and send it to anyone, but please, tell me where you uploaded it if it is an Internet site... You should then add this text file the places where you put this WAD.. You have to upload the WAD and the TXT at the same time, don't unlink them. It should be nice if you could ZIP them together... * Where to get this WAD * HTTP sites: My home page (see at the beginning of this file) French BBS: GOLD DRAGON BBS PrOpHeCy BBS FTP sites : FTP.CDROM.COM Mirror Sites
