================================================================ Title : IC DooM Series : The Unfinished Chronicles. Filename : ICDOOM1.WAD Author : Ian Cunnings. Email Address : slaphead@pavilion.co.uk Misc. Author Info : This is a set of my very first levels made, which I started over a year ago. The levels never got finished, and have been sitting quietly on my hard drive whilst my attentions turned to my DooM2 wads and my DooM Web Site at: http://www.pavilion.co.uk/bdd/ Description : Over a year ago now, I started to create a set of levels which would, in time, replace the entire first episode for DooM. It was the first time I had ever done any editing, so the results weren't always too good. It took me time to get even one level finished, and so, as DooM2 came around I started to neglect my old DooM levels and so the wad never got finished. I got 6 levels started, however each is complete to varying degrees (see level descriptions below). At the last moment before I zipped up the wad, I decided to add a level 7, which is just a re hash of the old E1M1. I have recently been working on a DooM2 wad named IC DooM Series : The Undiscovered Realm. Look out for it as ICDOOM2.ZIP, it is infinatly better than this wad, as I've had over a years more experience! One final thing, please do NOT hate mail me saying 'your wad sucks, it's only half done and some levels have hardly been started', I know that, I don't need any one else to tell me thankyou. The main reason I released this wad was in the hope that someone would finish my work (see below). Additional Credits to : The Deu Team for the best level editor out and id for the best game ever.

Difficulty Settings : Yes New Sounds : No New Graphics : No New Music : No Demos Replaced : None * Level Descriptions * Each of these levels are completed to varying degrees. . . . E1M1 Although completly finished, this level is very basic when compared to my more recent DooM2 wads (look out for ICDOOM2.ZIP coming your way soon!). Monsters have been put in, with difficulty settings, and most textures are alligned to reasonable degrees of success. E1M2 This level is also more or less completed. A lot larger than level one, with more enemies. This level is still quite basic when compared to my newer levels, although it does have it's moments. Much better than level 1 in my opinion. E1M3 This level is not so complete. The lay out is just about done, but textures and enemies have yet to be added, although there is the occasional bad guy (i.e. there are about 3 Cyber Demons and a bunch of Barons). The plasma gun is quite well hidden, see if you can find it. . . . . E1M4 The level design itself on this level is about half done, although key sector heights have not been added yet (i.e. there is supposed to be a small vent like duct going round the entire level, which is just a normal passage way at the moment). There are but a few textures done, with even less enemies. E1M5 Only the first room in this level has been created, and it is chock a block full of enemies. Ther are no textures put in yet, and the overall level design is far from complete. E1M6 This level is even less complete. Only the very basic out line has been done and there are no monsters what so ever as far as I can remember. E1M7 This level was never going to be in the final wad at all, but as I wasn't ever going to get it finished I thought I might as well include it, just for the fun of it. It's an updated E1M1, with a few changed graphics and tonnes more enemies. Okay, it's nothing special, but it was my first ever wad! It is possible to complete in one player without cheating, I have done it, so if you enjoy a challenge, give it a go! * Construction * Base : New levels from scratch (except E1M7). Editor(s) used : DEU Known Bugs : I don't believe there are any in the completed levels, but I'm guessing that there are many on the uncomplete ones. * Copyright / Permissions * Authors may use this wad as a base to build additional levels. Infact, I ask wadsters to finish my work in the way they feel best. If you are in any way interested in finishing my work, E-Mail me and I could tell you some of the ideas I had for the uncomplete levels. If you do carry on my work, I would appreciate it if you could just write a little in your text file saying where the original levels come from, and I would also love to test your improvements, so please send me a copy! 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.cdrom.com and it's many mirrors. BBS numbers: Other: You could E-Mail me, visit my web site (there's a link to the wad there) or find me on IRC (I'm known as Welshy or Tutman there) and we can arrange me sending you the file.
