Description : Remake of Quake map DM4 for Doom2 DM. My first Doom2 map and I
wanted to do something very vertical, and I had already done a
DM4 remake once so this seemed like a nice first challenge.
Removing all the rooms above rooms from the original was rather
easy, mostly done by moving stuff apart. Most complex was the
GL area which I solved by making it one level (already on the
original you can go in all directions by jumping to the ledge on
the side). I took great care that the original connectivity was
preserved. As to weapons, it is pretty close to the original
but I had to swap some things around to make it most fun in
"old deathmatch" mode: I originally had the LG replaced by a
plasma gun but that would have made that area too campable so
I moved it to the RL/HH area. Obviously a map like this will
be most fun with the full mlook/jumping experience, but I made
it just flat enough that it is playable without them.
Additional Credits to : the very few helpful people in #doomroom (undernet), especially
Cyb (http://members.xoom.com/cybspage/) who helped me overcome
some newbie editing problems, and Mancubus/mystician. Also my
ex clanmate Skill5 for gameplay tips.
