I feel that a single player Pwad is just that, and a multi-player Pwad should be designed differently. The over all set up is two castles (fortifications) that each player can control. The castles each have a switch to raise or lower its protective barrier. There is also a walkway which connects the two which can be controlled by both players. Their are also switches which control the ability of either player to access the BFG9000. I also have set up smaller weapon/ammo fortifications which house the chain-gun and the double barrell shotgun, plus the ammo for these. The third and final area is the Pit. The pit contains the health, Rocket Launcher and Plasma Rifle. This is a powerful area. He who controls the pit, conmtrols the game (in most cases). I have set up most of the walls to be one way. You can see in but you can't see out. You can walk through both directions. This creates some very interesting battles. Both players should become familiar with the layout, and then may the best player win. If you do not have a loader that runs Pwad files then you will run this right from the DOS prompt. I will give a short example of what to type but I recommend reading up on the line parameters so ti suits your tastes. Both must have the Pwad installed on their system for this to run correctly. Example. sersetup -dial Tel.# -file castles.wad -deathmatch -altdeath -14400 If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions - Please leave me a message on the B.B.S. you dowloaded this from. Have Fun.
