================================================================ Title : The Park V1.0 Filename : PARK.WAD Author : John J. Bye (aka Spook) Email Address : jb54@le.ac.uk Web Site : Misc. Author Info : I've written so many WADs, I've run out of witty things to write here. OK. I'm 19, I'm from a little island called England, and I play far too much Doom. Description : A large courtyard with gardens at each corner, a monument in the middle, and tunnels and rooms all around it... ================================================================ * Play Information * THIS IS A DOOM2 WAD AND WILL NOT WORK IN DOOM! Map Number : 01 Single Player : Yes Cooperative 2-4 Player : No Deathmatch 2-4 Player : No (let me know if you want to convert it for Deathmatch, I think it could work...) Difficulty Settings : Yes New Sounds : No New Graphics : No New Music : Yes (written by me) Demos Replaced : None ================================================================ * Construction * Base : New level from scratch Editor(s) used : DCK V2.2 Level editor BSP V1.2 Nodes Cakewalk Apprentice Midi editor Midi2Mus Music converter NWT Pro WAD toolkit Known bugs : None. I did have a lot of problems with visplane overflows in the courtyard, but I think it's fixed now. If you find any errors (however slight), please e-mail me and let me know. Time Taken : About a week on and off, but then, who cares? ================================================================ * Copyright / Permissions * I'd rather you didn't use this as a base for other levels. But then, I can't really stop you from ripping bits out of it for your own WADs! If you want to do this, or to use this level in a compilation WAD, or to convert it for Deathmatch use, please CONTACT ME FIRST. You MAY distribute this WAD in any electronic format (BBS, Diskette, CD, etc) as long as you include this text file with it and e-mail me to let me know you're using it. ================================================================ * Where to get this WAD * How the hell did you get this text file without finding the WAD? FTP ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/ WWW My web page (address at top). ================================================================ * Story * Several days ago UAC intelligence picked up a garbled distress call emenating from a remote mountain valley on the newly-settled planet of Cygnus IV. A rescue crew sent to investigate broke contact with their base shortly after reaching the area. Being the only strike force in the vicinity, your unit was ordered to secure the crash site. Reaching the area, a scan showed evidence of recent construction in the area, which is far from the nearest UAC colony. Soon afterwards your ship was struck by a ground-to-air missile. Somebody managed to put out a garbled distress call as the ship went down. Grabbing your pistol and a parachute, you made it to the nearest escape hatch and jumped... Still no sign of the rest of your group. Strong cross-winds seperated the survivors. You've landed in some sort of open courtyard in the middle of a large complex of buildings. Taking cover in the monument in the middle of the courtyard, you remove your parachute and draw your gun. Footsteps echo across the gravel. Something tells you that this isn't the UAC coming to rescue you. Arming your pistol, you step out of cover and prepare for the worst... ================================================================ * Other Info * This is the first of my 'new wave' of WADs - smaller, faster and better... To find out why I got sick of big WADs, download Magnum Opus (630k unzipped). It looks great, but it took months... Anyway, I'm going to use The Park as the first level in a new multi-level replacement WAD. Look out for the next installment coming soon... Anyone interested in play testing future releases, contact me, especially anyone who can test Deathmatch/Co-op. I'm also trying to start a new WAD group, kinda like TWC or WTF, but better :-) If you think you've got 'the right stuff', e-mail me and let me know where I can find one of your WADs. If you're an artist or a musician and you're interested in contributing, drop me a line and tell me where to find some of your work, or attach one or two smallish examples to your e-mail (try to keep it below 20k). ======================TRANSMISSION=ENDS=========================
