Trench

About This File

Trench is NOT a gaming level - it is basically a utility level. Purpose: to help wad authors determine if the player will be able to make a jump or not. I often see this kind of request on RGCDE.

Operation:
Switch with red arrow will lower the opposite side of trench all way down.
Switch with green arrow will raise it in increments of 32. Thus, one may vary the difference of jumping height. The texture used allows to determine quickly the height difference. Total depth is 512, each square is 64.
Trench width changes in 32-point increments, from 32 to 512. Again, floor texture allows easily to determine the width used.
To facilitate more accurate jumping, guiding 'rails' are provided. The runway length is also easily determined using floor texture.
For your convenience, a teleporter is placed in the trench corner for easy exit.

Oh, and if you get sick of jumping, go and slug it out with a cyber!
Hope that you'll find this wad helpful.

On the one hand this is a completely pointless waste of space, but on the other hand it is very beautiful. Not visually beautiful - there is a prominent missing texture, and the wallpaper is childish - but beautiful in a more spiritual sense. It doesn't work, even as a utility (the rails make it hard to strafejump, a technique the author might not have expected), and the cyber fight is dull, but its haunting atmosphere will stay with me forever.

      I genuinely enjoyed this mod with its level design and music. It was challenging and interesting and it kept me playing a while after beating it to try to find anything. though I would say it was slightly repetitive and overwhelming with enemies at some moments.

      Writing a review for Darkening 2 is tough. It's a beloved megawad, and for good reason. As many other reviewers have said, it is historically a very important project.   It was an important megawad for me personally. I fell in love with the first level in particular. The music, the realistic architecture, so reminiscent of the video games of the 90s... It all left a lasting impression. And it was one of the most beautiful wads I've seen at the time.   But I rarely played anyt

      A competently made map, for sure, but fun? It's way too long and repetitive, with same-y combat & ambush scenarios used again and again, and with way too much enemies, and not that much of a challenge, even for me who isn't exactly fond of "SUPER HARD WAD #9263!!!!11!. You can cut the whole thing in half, and then cut THAT half in half, and it would be a better map. Is it bad? No, just a little bit above average, mostly because it drags a bit too long.

      Generally good map design, but the difficulty as is the case with pwads tends to be uneven even on HMP, especially when you mix them with what slaughtermaps tend to be (monster spam). Too many parts where, after pressing a switch, you'll spend some time killing enemies only to realise the map maker tried to get cute and spawned a bunch of hidden archviles somewhere to start reviving everyone while you were busy wasting ammo. This is especially unfun in parts with very little cover where you'll b

      I like the part where I pay for the numerous murders I committed by getting beaten up by either a Mancubus or an Arachnotron, it changed my outlook on Monster Priority. Thank you "Problematic" Revenant #7, I have yet to find a way to repay him.
