* Notes *
* You'll find it impossible to exit either level without cheating,
both levels utilise cooperative exits.
** Difficulty settings 1 and 2 are no different from one another.
Difficulty 3 is intended for 2 player play, difficulty 4 for
3-4 person play. There is more ammunition and more monsters
on difficulty 4 (Ultra-violence).
Not all monsters/weapons present in multi-player mode are
present in single player mode.
*** Sounds Replaced:
Sound: Replacement Source:
Pistol Shot Good-ii.wad
Rocket detonation Game I had once (I forget which one)
Plasma in flight Good-ii.wad (I suspect Star Wars)
Death yell Rowan Atkinson as Blackadder
Death Scream Good-ii.wad (Arnie)
Telephone sound (DM only) Star Trek communicator (original series)
****Music changed for levels one, two and the intermission and title
screen.
Level: Source:
1 DAZED.MID
2 SLEDGE.MID
INTERMISSION HIDNSEEK.MID
I'm told DAZED.MID is from a song called "Dazed and Confused" and
SLEDGE.MID is from a song called "Sledgehammer" Peter Gabriel.
a clue as to the artists of DAZED.MID or the people who wrote
the midi files (they were taken from alt.binaries.midi) - I just
liked the sound of them for Doom.
To play this .wad, type "doom2 -file multimat.wad". The file "multimat.wad"
must be in your Doom 2 directory to do this.
There is NO BFG on either level - I hate it. Add one if you
wish, but please don't redistribute the changed level. I really did
leave it out for a reason!
Levels may be played co-operatively and single player, as well as
in deathmatch mode. Level 1 is best for 3-4 players, but makes for
an excellent "stalking" game for 2 - a meeting every 3-5 minutes.
Level 2 is fun for 2-3 players, and is mayhem for 4 - a meeting every
30 seconds.
* Construction *
Base : New levels from scratch. Inspiration for the
d‚cor of level 2 from hallspro.wad.
Time Taken : I estimate 100 h +
Editor(s) used : DEU2 5.21, BSP 1.0, WinTex 3.41, TED,
MUStool, RMB.
Known Bugs : All gone (after 12 months)!
