THURBAN2.WAD - THEME URBAN (version 2)
Urban - for the Theme Patch v1.7 and Doom II v1.9
Battle the Predators and hostile marines in the city streets.
NOTE: THURBAN2 requires THEME17.ZIP for the Alien-Predator-Terminator
resources and DeHackEd patch. You can get theme17.zip here:
ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/idgames/themes/apt/theme17.zip
THURBAN2 also requires a Source Port which can import DeHackEd
patches and pwads containing sprite data - such as MBF, PRboom,
Boom, Legacy, etc. (do not use ZDoom v1.18b - see below).
This is an updated version of THURBAN.ZIP
Original authors:
Theme patch v1.7 Werner Spahl a1619195@smail1.rrz.uni-koeln.de
Urban2.wad level Bill Zimmerman wzimm@u.washington.edu
Version 2 mods by: Sparky of KISS Software kelm@eisa.net.au
Mods made by Sparky of KISS Software:
- combined the two wads (level and graphics) into a single wad file
- removed 160KB of wasted space in the wads (the original combined size
was 753KB, this version is only 595KB)
This version is designed specifically for the Doom Source Ports and
does not require patching. You still need theme17.zip which contains
theme17.deh and theme17.wad. For example:
prboom \
boom -- -deh theme17 -file theme17 thurban2
mbf /
legacy -file theme17.deh theme17.wad thurban2.wad
THURBAN2 tested okay with:
MBF v2.03
PRboom v2.02
Boom v2.02
Legacy v1.28 - some things are transparent which should be solid
but this is a small price to pay to use the
mouse-look feature of Legacy. Look up at the
buildings and billboards.
THURBAN2 will not work with:
Any version of Doom I or Ultimate Doom
'Plain Vanila' Doom II - due to the sprite graphics in both
theme17.wad and thurban2.wad
ZDoom v1.18b - some wierd bugs with some of the new monsters

They are in town again! Strange rumours about invisible warriors
are circling in the underground and skinned dead bodies of drug
dealers have been found lately. As if the street war between the
different gangs wasn't bloody enough already. Even now your chums
have cornered some guys right around the block. Lets go and help
them out a little and see what the hell is going on!
