=========================================================================== Primary Purpose : Single play/co-op Advanced engine needed : Limit-removing =========================================================================== Title : Deathless Filename : deathless.wad Release date : 30 November 2018 Author : Jimmy Email Address : [redacted] Other Files By Author : Jenesis, Jenocide DM, Jiffy Bag, Jimmy's Jukebox, Jungle Spirits, The Joy of Mapping, realms of Zoon, Harmony/Plutonia/Revolution MIDI Packs. Misc. Author Info : Ate too many pizza. Description : A speedily-done Ultimate Doom megawad. The 27 layouts for the three new episodes were first blocked out starting midnight 1st Nov. The 27th map was thingplaced and balanced at about midnight on 10th Nov, so the total build time for this is 9 days. A number of days after release were spent on finding bugs and balancing the maps for single and co-op play. No jumping or crouching (enforced). Freelook allowed. As with this mapset's predecessor Griefless, ***A LIMIT-REMOVING PORT IS RECOMMENDED***. Chocolate Doom may not handle some of these maps, and is completely untested. Crispy Doom is recommended for the best experience while playing this. The difficulty of the set is also fairly easy-going, particularly early on. For extra challenge if desired, the author recommends adding -fast and/or -solo-net to the command line. Additional Credits to : Big thanks to Ryath for organizing "NaNoWADMo" and giving me an excuse to be a bastard by pulling shit like this out of the ether in substantially less than the month that was allotted. Special thanks to Alfonzo and Fuzzball for a fun co-op testing session, and to all those who provided feedback and demos in the thread and the NaNoWADMo discord. Thanks also to TeamTNS for hosting this on Thursday Night Survival two weeks running! =========================================================================== * What is included * New levels : E1M1-M9, E2M1-M9, E3M1-M9, E4M1-M9 Sounds : No Music : Yes Graphics : Yes Dehacked/BEX Patch : Yes - lost soul and spiderdemon health have been changed (soul is now 70, spider is now 3500 and is now more threatening as a monster) Demos : Yes Other : ZMAPINFO, EMAPINFO, DECORATE to replicate DEHACKED behavior changes. * Play Information * Game : The Ultimate Doom Single Player : Yes Cooperative 2-4 Player : Yes Deathmatch 2-4 Player : No Other game styles : No Difficulty Settings : Yes * Construction * Base : New from scratch Build Time : Nov 1st-10th for first RC, rest of month for testing/fixing Editor(s) used : GZDoom Builder, SLADE, Paint.NET for new graphics May Not Run With... : Vanilla Doom, Chocolate Doom. * Copyright / Permissions * Authors MAY use the contents of this file as a base for modification or reuse.
