Title : Temple of the Ancients
Filename : Temple.wad
Author : ReX (aka Gurkha Boy)
Email Address : gurkha_boy@yahoo.com
Other work from author : Pugilist.wad, a 3-level fist-only series set in WWII
Fear_Isl.wad, a single level
Decimate.wad, a single level
Complex.wad, a massive and detailed single level
Arena_01.wad, a fast-paced, short single level
Hex_on_u.wad, a 3-level medieval set using Hexen2 textures
Phoenix.wad, a 5-level military installation using Quake2 textures
Paranoia.wad, a 5-level military research installation using Half-Life
textures, enemies, and sounds
They can be found in the Ports directory of ftp.cdrom.com
(except for Arena_01.wad, which does not need a port and is in
the regular DooM2 levels directory of cdrom.com).
Misc. Author Info : Been playing DooM for 6.5 years, and editing for 1.5 years
Description : 5-level hub, set in a variety of environments. You start in a command
center, but explore medieval and techno-medieval areas as you uncover
the secrets of the Temple of the Ancients.
These levels extensively use Q3A textures, and a few Q1 & Q2 textures.
They also feature cool new skies, and scripting. ZDooM features include
translucency, laser barriers, underwater environments, true elevators,
colored lighting, fog, slippery surfaces (ice), quakes, 3D bridges, etc.
Notes: I take credit/flames for many of the runic signs. The original Q1Tex.wad
contained 32*32 signs. Using these in MS Paint, I edited the symbols to create
new, larger signs. The new animated water flats plus the additional ice/water
flat are all mine.

* Play Information *
Engine : DooM2, using ZDooM
Map Number : MAP10-MAP14
Single Player : Yes
Cooperative 2-4 Player : No
Deathmatch 2-4 Player : No
Difficulty Settings : Yes
New Sounds : No
New Graphics : Yes, many new textures, new weapons graphics, cool skies
New Music : No
Demos Replaced : No
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS : If you can run ZDooM you should not have a problem running
these levels.
* Construction *
Base : New levels from scratch (although I swiped some stuff from my
earlier levels)
Editor(s) used : Map editing -- WadAuthor v1.30, an excellent utility
Graphics editing and wad merging -- Wintex 4.3
Adjusting height of skies -- DEEP 97
Sprite & graphic editing -- MS Paint
Build time : About 3 months (3-4 hours a day).
Known Bugs : These aren't true bugs, but they are anomalies. When underwater (or
under lava), the grate textures do not appear colored, as do the rest
of the textures. This probably has something to do with them having
transparent sections.
Source port notes : This level was designed for ZDooM. You will need v1.22 of ZDooM if you
want to view the demos.
