================================================================ Title : ROTT.WAD Author : Limbs a Flyin' [Chris Coulter] Email adress : only have a School one ;( you shouldnt bother though, I only use the School network, say about 3-6 times a year? Anyway.. i *think* this is it.. COULTERP@JUNO.SHIRLEY.SCHOOL.CO.NZ but Im not making any promises... and dont expect a reply. [sorry] Misc. Author Info : Erm... here goes.. Very good at WAD skills, eg textures, sounds, flats, sprites, music, misc gfx, maps, some data lumps.. [thats all of it?] Also quite handy with 'ol Dehacked too. ******************** NOTE *****************************NOTE*********************** This was one of my very first levels, so some of you may consider it to be a bit sad. No worry, ive improved my WAD creating abilities quite alot since I built this lev. [And another thing: quite a bit of the 'GSTONE' texture, no, it's NOT a generic texture with my editor; I liked it at the time ;) ] It was also planned to be in 'AKDOOM.WAD' which became 'FINAL.WAD' which then went on to be 'ATTACK.WAD' ('cos romour had it at the time id were going to release a FINAL.WAD). ATTACK was supposed to be a 30 lev dm wad, new sounds, gfx, mus, even new flats and more, (including a Dehacked DOOM2.EXE) but that never happened. I was builing it with a few others who i only knew via Nomads OnLine BBS,(03-3651856, Christchurch, New Zealand... subtle costless plug >8}) but however, the others didn't want to do it anymore, or even play DOOM anymore [1 of 'em sold up his account on NOL!]. So i was left with a shambles of a WAD with many under half-built levels.. Anyway, i finaly released it, 7 lev dm WAD with a few sounds, but full of little graphics [eg, stat bar, message text, misc. stuff for the menus], each lev has new music [some old, some new i think]. And so this level was abandoned [weak in comparason to my levs for ATTACK], until i found it again today. Have fun.. Description Started out as using the first level of s/w Rise of the Triad as a (very) rough base. actuly built most of it from memory, but ends up to be quite different than the original. Even has the music thrown in too. Designed for DeathMatch realy, but has quite a few monsters bunged in too, if you need 'em. Additional Credits to : Whoever made WadAuthor, my fav editor, NWT 1.3 [only to stick the mus file in] Er, Midi2mus I suppose... And of course we can't forget Apogee [sp?] for the music, the original map for the base [sorta] and of course ROTT itself. [Even if nobody plays/likes/has it, awful tile based maps, ick] ================================================================ * Play Information * Episode and Level # : MAP01 Single Player : Yes, few monsters throwen in for good measure. Cooperative 2-4 Player : I think so, can't remember if i put the starts in, but I almost always do, so they are probably there. Deathmatch 2-4 Player : Yep! Thats why i built it in the first place. Difficulty Settings : Uh, another thing i forgot if i have or not. I think I did, think a couple of Invun. spheres appear on skill 4-5 [or do they appear in multi-player?] New Sounds : Naa New Graphics : nope Demos Replaced : none * Construction * Base : New level from scratch, well not realy.. using a ROTT level as a rough base.. Build Time : A couple of days, when i felt like it. Editor(s) used : WadAuthor, duuno the ver, NWT+Midi2mus briefly. Known Bugs : None, I think. Unless when you shoot projectiles into the sky [you'll see] and they dissapear [but not always], but thats actuly normal. Oh yeah, musn't forget: ******************EXIT??***************** The exit is reached by crossing an invisible bridge over a pit of lava. could drive you insane trying to get there, but im sure many of you will look at it with level editors or maybe the map cheat. [BOOO, HiSSSSSS! You should try to cross it with out knowing where it is! >>8-) ] * Copyright / Permissions * Authors may use this level as a base to build additional levels as long as I [and Apoggee! (sp?)] am credited somewhere in the docs. You MAY distribute this WAD, provided you include this file, with no modifications. You may distribute this file in any electronic format (BBS, Diskette, CD, etc.) as long as you include this file intact. * Where to get this WAD * I am hoping that you got the WAD with this text.. * Other WAD's by the same author * ATTACK -- 7 lev DM WAD compiled by me, but i did build the first 2 levs from scratch. Other levs from the other people who were creating it with me. LAFSPRTE -- My very own Sprite WAD! i never got it finished, so i left it as it is. Couple of guns changed, and players have blue pants.. FRENZY -- [To Be Announced] I hope to get this one finished before THAT Q game takes over.. Level 1 rip [ don't we love 'em? ;) ] I have done a few other bits and pieces but I dont think i can remeber all of them. eg Converted E4M4 to Doom2 [plus music and gfx, including a TEXTURE2 resource] Made a RTS file for DUKE 3D [various.rts i think? i currently ignore duke3d, anyway was just a bunch of old sounds from WADs] Possibly a few more that i have forgotten about.. I think after FRENZY [if i finish it, of course ;)] i might try my hand at Descent missions... if i can figure out how to get the editor to work and not crash.. If you are ever on Nomads sometime, possibly through a telnet connnection or what ever [dont know much about Internet terms], you'll find me under the user-id of Limbs I think that covers everything.. Thank you for your time. [Even if the WAD is a bit old and boring ;)] Phew, 2:21 am, im off to sleep for a while..
