I've included support for various modes of play as follows: 1. Original Deathmatch rules ("I'm Too Young To Die" and "Hey, Not Too Rough" support this) 2. Deathmatch 2.0 rules ("Hurt Me Plenty" supports this) 3. What I call "Expert" mode ("Ultraviolent" and "Nightmare" support this) Original Deathmatch and Deathmatch 2.0 are basically the same setup with minor variations in ammo/health placement. Expert mode has very little health and ammo, but DOES include every weapon in the level (including the BFG). Use Expert mode if you want access to the more powerful weapons. I've also included monster support - monsters are placed strategically to add spice to the game. Usually players don't need this in a three- or four-player game, but sometimes a two-person game can get a little slow. Either way you like it, BE SURE TO INCLUDE THE RESPAWN OPTION WHEN USING MONSTERS in your Deathmatches. Also note that this level does NOT involve a cooperative exit. The exit is through the exit door and up the stairs (teleporter). An exit to SECRET LEVEL 31 does exist, but you'll have to find it. Secret levels 31 and 32 (hog31.wad and hog32.wad) are intended to be jokes. Just like id's levels 31 and 32 are throwbacks to their Wolfenstein and Commander Keen days, the two Hog wads are throwbacks to my early days of authoring pwads... Please take a walk through this level before you actually use it in Deathmatch. While danzig15 is extremely straightforward, it's always nice to get a feel for a new level before you begin. I'm open to any comments/ suggestions you may have, so please send me email! Finally, if anyone uses this pwad who plays over a LAN (with three or four people), please make an LMP file and send it to me! I've rarely had the chance to see more than two people in this level, and would like to see the action. Thanks for using Danzig! Oh, one further thing - you haven't missed danzig14. Brandon simply hasn't finished it yet.
