=========================================================================== Archive Maintainer : Update to : Advanced engine needed : GZDoom 3.3.x or higher Primary purpose : Single player =========================================================================== Title : Umbra of Fate Filename : uof.pk3 Release date : 1 May 2018 Author : Alexa "YukiRaven" Jones-Gonzales Email Address : [redacted] Other Files By Author : Shadows of The Nightmare Realm, Extreme Terror, One Doomed Marine, Kill Misc. Author Info : Jumping and crouching are not allowed (in fact, they should already be disabled via MAPINFO). No rocket jumping on purpose, either. I do recommend binding "swim up", however. This requires GZDoom's hardware renderer with dynamic lighting and 3D models enabled. Enabling bloom is encouraged, but not necessary. Shadowmaps (gl_light_shadowmap) can be used as well, but there's some visual artifacts in some places with them enabled. **ALWAYS LOAD LIGHTS.PK3 AND BRIGHTMAPS.PK3 ALONG WITH THIS ADDON** These files come with GZDoom. Failure to do so will result in the levels not looking right, or being unplayable due to being too dark. Mouselook is considered a requirement. The dmflags and dmflags2 CVars should both be set to 0 A resolution of 1280x720 or greater is required. Otherwise, some of the story text will be cut off and the levels won't look correct. Description : A man is on vacation and is out enjoying a day of hunting while his wife and infant son are at home. After a long and boring day, he starts walking back to his car, only to discover a ravine that wasn't there before. Feeling an unusually strong urge to find out what lurks beyond the ravine, he jumps down into it and heads out into the dark, foggy forest night. Umbra of Fate is something of a personal experiment where I try to push the type of gameplay I enjoy to the limit. Additional Credits to : The Elementalism team for their feedback, with a special shout out to Bauul for his playtesting. Realm667 for their repositories, my wife for helping me with the story text. Additional credits are listed below since they're pretty long. =========================================================================== * What is included * New levels : 1 Sounds : Yes Music : Yes (written by me, available at www.partition36.com) Graphics : Yes Dehacked/BEX Patch : No Demos : No Other : Some new brightmaps, a titlemap Other files required : lights.pk3 and brightmaps.pk3, both of which come with GZDoom * Play Information * Game : Doom2 Map # : MAP01 Single Player : Designed for Cooperative 2-4 Player : No Deathmatch 2-4 Player : No Other game styles : None Difficulty Settings : Yes, switchable in the map itself, designed for Hard (aka, skill 3, aka UV). * Construction * Base : New from scratch Build Time : About 11 months Editor(s) used : GZDoomBuilder, SLADE, GoldWave, Reaper, Renoise, The Gimp, Waddle, Emacs, some custom tools, and probably a few others.

This is because of the new MP40. They now drop a few ammo magazines. - Some monsters are more aggressive than their stock Doom varieties - The shotgun's pellet pattern has been changed so that it's "tighter" and no longer in a flat line. * Additional Credits * A lot of resources were taken from Realm667's site.
