================================================================ Title : WadFather, Part 1 Filename : WADFTHR.WAD Author : The Wadfather (a nickname my friends gave me) Email Address : delaosa@accessone.com Misc. Author Info : Looking forward to playing my registered version of Heretic. Description : Wadfthr.WAD is a collection of deathmatch levels for Doom 2. It was optimized for the alternate deathmatch rules. There are no "network-play only" items, so what you see is what you get. Additional Credits to : ID Software Matt Tagliaferri for DoomCAD Colin Reed for BSP WAD file authors Greg Lewis (because Dehacked is so cool) ================================================================ * Play Information * Game : DOOM II Episode and Level # : Maps 1-30, 31 & 32 Single Player : Yes Cooperative 2-4 Player : No Deathmatch 2-4 Player : Yes Difficulty Settings : Yes - monsters only New Sounds : No New Graphics : No New Music : No Demos Replaced : None * Construction * Base : Modified levels from DOOM, DOOM 2, and the InterNet Editor(s) used : DoomCAD 5.1, BSP 1.2 Known Bugs : None.

If you read the text files in AUTHOR.ZIP, you'll see that some of the authors forbid modification of their levels. I received their permission to modify their WAD files. I suggest that you do the same if you'd like to modify the restricted levels contained in Wadfthr.WAD. You MAY distribute this WAD, provided you include this file and the original authors' text files, with no modifications. You may distribute this file in any electronic format (BBS, Diskette, CD, etc) as long as you include this file and the original authors' text files intact.

I'd like to know if anybody uses this WAD for tournament play or BBS system usage. I am working on a smaller sequel to this WAD file. Please feel free to point me towards other neat Deathmatch WADs. Just tell me the location to download the files from or post the WADs on ftp.cdrom.com. I think this WAD would work really well with Heretic. Anybody interested in converting it over? ================================================================ AUTHOR INFO Unzip the file labeled AUTHOR.ZIP for more information about the levels listed below. The information in the text files may differ from the actual level because I've modified the WADs. My modifications consisted of texture changes, texture alignment, bug fixes, weapon/goodie re-allocation, different monsters, and the addition of exits and/or exit signs. Each level required varying degrees of modification. You'll have to download each WAD in its original format to view the extent of my changes. All of these levels can be found at ftp.cdrom.com. Send E-mail to the authors if you like their work.

It will give you a complete automap of the level. Level 12 has an exception to this rule. Locked doors requiring keys (and the keys themselves) were removed from all the levels except level 16. Deathmatchers automatically receive all the keys, so it didn't make any sense to penalize single players who are examining the WAD file. I kept the keys on level 16 because they add to the charm of the level. Level 2 This level has multiple areas. Each area features a different challenge. The only weird feature is the maze. The red and blue lines indicate invisible walls. You can shoot through blue walls. Red walls block your fire. Each teleporter in the "temple" is linked to the other pads and itself. Where you end up depends on where you cross on a particular side (left, right, middle, etc). I don't know the pattern; but who cares? It would only spoil the surprise! :-) Level 4 This level should look very familiar. The only major changes are the option to jump out of the large window by the former blue skull key and the ability to open the narrow "teleporter tube" more than once. I love a good footrace! :-) Level 5 To exit the arena, pull the levers behind the north and south doors. This will reveal another set of levers in the eastern and western walls. The levers in the eastern wall will raise a section of floor adjacent to the arena's center column. The levers in the western wall will lower the center column, revealing a plasma gun and a row of buttons on the raised floor section. Push the buttons to end the level. Level 7 This is E3M3 from original Doom. The secret area lift in the wooden room can now be used multiple times. Level 9 Jump into the quarry if you've got too many Revenant missles following you. The missles will slam into the quarry walls when you run through a narrow passageway. Level 10 There is nothing wrong with the center lift on this level. The super shotgun is supposed to be difficult to get. Level 12 There's a concealed ambush point on the right side of the center 'O' which doesn't show up on the automap. Aren't you glad you read this file? Level 15 There's a secret level exit to the right of the regular level exit. Shoot the wall to open it up. Level 16 This level was designed to look like a house. It has a few sneaky secret areas. Check out the medicine cabinet in the bathroom or step into the fireplace. Push against the refrigerator to "open" it - just watch out for that hot stove! The level has one teleporter. It's in the 2nd story room with the big bay window. The teleporter is in the left hand corner of the window. It's supposed to simulate jumping through the window. Level 24 There are three secret areas on this level. Two on the eastern wall and one on the western wall. The western wall is easy - just push against the wall in the correct spot. The first door in the eastern wall (the one closest to the 'TN') will also open if you push on it. The second door requires you to push the wooden gargoyle head in the center stockade. Once you press the button, you only have a few seconds to get through the door before it closes. Level 29 Two of the columns on this level can be dropped for 3 seconds. You can only do this on ONE side of the columns. The exit switch is in the Cacodemon house. There's a "backdoor" into the house. Level 30 I've eliminated all the nukage areas on E1M1. You can jump through the windows to the outside area with the rocket launcher. I added a teleporter in the exit room which transports you to the computer center. The secret ledge overlooking the former zig-zag nukage room can now be accessed from the secret room guarded by the imp. I eliminated the trigger requiring players to cross a specific linedef in order to lower the elevator which takes you to the secret ledge. Level 31 There's a secret snipers nest behind each revenant platform which can be reached from the top of the platform. Their relative positions are 10 & 2 o'clock if you're standing in the center of the platform facing the wall. Use the cheat code described above if you can't find the secret areas. There's a secret teleporter in each snipers nest which you'll have no difficulty finding once you get into the nest. Level 32 The secret areas for this level are far too difficult to describe. Use the cheat codes and experiment in single player mode. The brown wall texture with a lamp and the metal wall texture with a voltage symbol identify secret doors & triggers. I hope you enjoy playing this WAD file as much as I've enjoyed making it. ================================================================
