================================================================ Title : DANTE'S GATE 2.1 for DOOM ][ Author : John W. Anderson (aka Dr. Sleep) Email Address : INTERNET:drsleep@hooked.net 75211.1113@compuserve.com Additional Credits : Rapha‰l Quinet and Brendon J. Wyber for DEU 5.21. Colin Reed for BSP v1.xx (can't DEU without it). Patrix and War Machine for Deathmatch tutoring and pointing out two nasty LineDefs that I missed. Desdinova for being a swell kind of guy. Myself, for being so clever. And, of course, those guys at id. Description : DANTE'S GATE is the first level in my INFERNO series and is fully compatible with DOOM ][. I've added monsters, weapons, and other goodies along the way. The level has an entirely different look and feel. For the most part, the only "theme" I had in mind was to make the level as aesthetically pleasing and consistent as possible. But there is a storyline: After all this wackiness at the UAC base, you have lost track of your lady-friend, BEATRICE. How the two of you ever got separated is no great mystery, what with all these demons and devils running about, but you're damned if you're going to go through Hell for nothing. The only other survivor besides yourself and Beatrice is VIRGIL, the beatnik space poet. He last saw Beatrice by one of the warp- gates. Chances are she made it through -- but what's on the other side? Only one way to find out. You'll have to go through DANTE'S GATE. : Please let me know what you think by E-Mail at any of the above addresses. Enjoy. Instructions : Put DANTE2.WAD and DANTE2.BAT in your DOOM directory, then type "DANTE2." Disclaimer : I assume no responsibility for anything of any sort in any way, shape, or form, now, then, henceforeward, in this life (or the next several) for any screw-ups or even minor inconveniences this PWAD causes you, your family, your relatives, friends, ancestors, associates, employers, pets, neighbors, lovers, deities (major AND minor), nor any other person -- living, dead, or undead -- that you have or will ever have any contact with in even the slightest form. This PWAD has been tested and tested ad infinitum, so it shouldn't mess with your computer or anything else remotely associated with it. But if it DOES, then too damn bad. Don't come cryin' to me. It must be something YOU did. Grammar Lecture : "a lot" is two words, not one; it's "you're," not "your" -- as in "you are" unless you're (see?) using the possessive in your (uh huh) text descriptions; "their" indicates possession, "there" indicates place or direction. ================================================================ * Play Information * Episode and Level # : E2 Single Player : Yes Cooperative 2-4 Player : Yes Deathmatch 2-4 Player : Oh Yes Difficulty Settings : All New Sounds : No New Graphics : No Demos Replaced : None * Construction * Base : New level from scratch, 3 revisions.
