=========================================================================== Archive Maintainer : Update to : Advanced engine needed : ZDoom 1.23 beta20 or higher Primary purpose : Single+Coop play =========================================================================== Title : The House of Pain II Filename : B79HPAIN2.WAD Release date : 18/09/2001 Author : Berserker[79] Email Address : berserker79@ngi.it Other Files By Author : B79PURGE.WAD CASTLE_B.WAD GOOZZ.WAD Misc. Author Info : Student with far too much time to waste... Description : Welcome to this new release of "House Of Pain 2". I have converted all the original maps to the Hexen format supported by ZDoom and added some "special effects" too. In some maps the design is still mostly that of the first release, so don't be surprised if some spots may look a bit dumb or too easy or even evidence of scarce editing ability... :) Other maps (e.g. MAP09) have undergone a better and wider process of enhacement. The maps i think were better "enhanced" are Map03 Map05 and Map09. Take a look at the README file to get more detiled info and to read the 'Mission Briefings' for each map. Other info: single player levels. The setting can vary from hi-tech bases to hellish locations. Many open areas present. Each map can be completed independently from the others, but I'd reccomend the play them in the order. Additional Credits to : id, Jim Flynn, Rick Clark and the authors of the editors and utilities used. =========================================================================== * What is included * New levels : 10 Sounds : Yes Music : Yes Map07 tune from Doom (E3M4) Map08 tune from Final Doom - Evilution (MAP06) Graphics : Yes, -Sky1 is the sky texture from Doom Episode 1 -Sky3 is a tweaked up pic of the above mentioned texture -Textures "COMPHP2x" (x=1,2,3,4) by me -Textures "FFIELDx" (x=1,2,3,4) from Rick Clark's ZDoom Force Field Demo Wad, used with permission -Textures "PLATES" and "PLATE2" by me -Textures "WFALLx" (x=1,2,3,4) by me (used Doom2 SFALL textures as a base) -3 colormaps (REDMAP, LAVAMAP & NUKEMAP) Dehacked/BEX Patch : No Demos : No Other : No Other files required : None * Play Information * Game : DOOM2 Map # : Map01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10 Single Player : Designed for Cooperative 2-4 Player : Player starts only (untested) Deathmatch 2-4 Player : No Other game styles : No Difficulty Settings : Not implemented * Construction * Base : All new from scratch.
