************************* ******** WELCOME ******** ******** TO ******** ** THE AWFUL MONASTERY ** ************************* I hope you'll enjoy it!!! =============================================================================== Title : THE AWFUL MONASTERY Filename : redking.wad (for DOOM ][) Author : Gereon P.J. Meuser 26 year old student of chemistry. I love playing soccer, computer and my wife and son, of course. e-mail-address : koenig@pool.informatik.rwth-aachen.de Description : Welcome to THE AWFUL MONASTERY. This level is made intentionally for single player. At the beginning I wanted to make a multiplayer game-level but I have taken so much monsters in this level (e.g.: 110(!) Cacodemons at the final of the level in UV) and it's size is so big, that, when I added some more monsters, the programme did crash everytime (486 DX2-80 / 8MB). Nevertheless this level gives great fun in multiplayer mode. Deathmatch is possible, of course, but this level might be a little too big for this. Recommendation for rookies: Take skill 1! It's hot enough for you! I prefer skill 3. When I tested my wad, I had to save very often and I needed 1 hour to reach the exit. Troubleshooting : This level runs stable with MS-DOS 5.0. If you use MS-DOS 6.0 or higher, don't fall in the lake of poison at the beginning of this level: the programme may crash. Off-load all drivers you don't need for DOOM ][, too. May be it is useful to increase the number of buffers, but I don't know this certainly. Save your game-result first when you have killed some Monsters (about 20 in skill 3; about 40 in skill 4), otherwise the programme may crash.
