================================================================ Title : STAIRWAR Filename : STAIRWAR.WAD Author : Eric van Bezooijen Email Address : eric@csua.berkeley.edu Misc. Author Info : http://www.csua.berkeley.edu/~eric/ Description : A single room map, with all of the weapons, and tons of ammo, and a whole horde of monsters. A pretty big challenge for a player to finish (the beginning is pretty rough) in a single-player game, but I can do it, so you should be able to as well! =O). I've never tried it with > 2 players... It's kind slow with multiple players until you kill off most of the monsters, and then the speed improves (this is on 486-66 Mhz machines with 128Kb cache) The theme: The world's longest marble staircase! To play this wad file, run: doom -file stairwar.wad If you can't solve the level, I've included a demo of me solving it (stairwar.lmp). Only look at it as a last resort, it spoiles everything! To play the demo, run: doom -playdemo stairwar -file stairwar.wad Additional Credits to : Kenneth S. Forte, who wrote the ULTIMA.WAD file which I base mine on (I couldn't get DEU to work without crashing starting from scratch), although this level barely resembles his level. To the creators of DOOM and DEU - may all of you be enshrined as gods in the years to come! ================================================================ * Play Information * Episode and Level # : E1M1 Single Player : Yes Cooperative 2-4 Player : Yes Deathmatch 2-4 Player : Yes Difficulty Settings : Not implemented New Sounds : No New Graphics : No New Music : No * Construction * Base : Severely Modified E2M1 - ULTIMA.WAD Editor(s) used : DEU 5.21 Build Time: : About 30 hours (15 of those hours to learn DEU). About 40 % of the time spent on making the staircase. Known Bugs : We don't need no steenking texture alignment! Hall-Of-Mirrors effect when standing at the top of the stairs. Totally sloppily constructed WAD. Sue me! * Copyright / Permissions * Authors MAY use this level as a base to build additional levels. However, I don't recommend it! I was learning, so there is no logic to most of the sectors, or any consistency. Use ULTIMA.WAD to build off of instead, it's much more clean. You MAY distribute this WAD, 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. * Where to get this WAD * FTP sites: ftp.orst.edu Other: When I get some more time, I'll put it up for grabs on my Mosaic home- page (see above)! I'm still working on my home-page.
