Good Levels...
We also like to play good levels, so if your stuff
is good, mail me... You may even get accepted for
membership.., who knows? Its not my call, though.
I would greatly appreciate feedback on:
ammo/health: there's more than I need but I know
where everything is.
difficulty: too easy/hard
how much you loved it/hated it.
SO SEND ME MAIL
I used to put a long list of all the wads I ever made
Including a description, but that got awfully long so
I'm just going to describe my newer (and better)
ones.
Bad Stuff (by my standards, these are still better than
alot):
darker.zip
3_pack1.zip(Contains three levels, obviously).
ds-61-3.zip(Contains seven levels.)
Skull.zip
Good stuff:
quikisgd.zip and quikisg2.zip; Short kick ass wads.
Nosun*.zip; Some of my best ever. Two long, one mid,
and one short -length levels out so far. Get 'em now!
Shrthard.zip; should be out by now; short real hard kick ass
wads.
>dk.zip: dk.wad, a high quality fortress level<
!This last zip was postponed. I get an error about
an unknown thing class before the level starts.
According to Dck, there are no unknown things.
If anyone knows how to solve this problem, Help
is _Much_ appreciated.
Soon to come:
Work in The Black Star Covens The Talosian Incident
Web Page: Http://www.geocities.com/timesquare/8666/bscoven.html
(Maybe) Other Nosuns
QUAKE!!!!
Probably some other stuff.
THE BEST DOOM2 WADS:
Darkcvnt.wad. By keith phipps (I think thats his name)
Cabal*.wad By Sverre Kvernmo
Description : This is the first of a series of .wads I am making.
I'm going to divide this into three parts:
Changes since last version: Not much by the way of monsters. Mainly I got rid of
all the textures that I didn't feel fit, especially
the bronze textures... if you liked it better the old
way, mail me and I'll upload a zip with both for
people to compare.
Story : 2090: some research station orbiting earth.
"Um, professer," says a slave.
"What," snarls a half-man half-ape that couldn't
have passed grade school.
"The heat on earth is gradually decreasing. Less
light is coming this way each day. It appears
the sun is going out."
"That's impossible!" The professer kicks the slave.
"Look for yourself!" Says the slave a little to
quickly.
"You know I can't read!" The slave recieves another
kick.
Another slave somewhere down the corridor rolls
his eyes. The professer may have noticed yet is
already shouting into his comlink to get someone
"reputable" who _can_ read.
The nextday, same place.
"Welcome, Doctor appleberry." Says the apeman.
What a stupid name, thinks the slave, whose name
was recently changed to "shithead" by the professer.
"Read this," says shithead.
"Yes, he's right."
Several weeks later, you, a prisoner of war, get
called in your cell somewhere in one of the less
habitible places on earth. (Pollution has destroyed
nearly half the landcovered portion of the world,
with North America a cesspool of burning waste. The
ozone layer is so thin, 3 weeks of exposure
throughout your life would kill you.)
"You're going on a mission, you worthless piece of
shit. You better not fail me this time. Three strikes
and you're out."
You remember failing your first two impossible
missions and barely escaping with your life.
"Go to room 3a960236548079b.5 for briefing at 3:00"
(97% of earths population is now in prison.)
At 3:00 you wander down the long hall way towards
the room . "3a960236548079b.44, .46, .48, here we
are." You say to yourself. One stray step and you
would be toast: the walls are adorned with automatic
plasma cannons and other weapons trained on your
every move. You sigh and enter the room.
"Hello, sit down."
"Enough pleasantries. What mission have you got to
kill me off this time?"
"A mission to the sun. A few weeks ago we found out
that the sun is giving off less and less heat so
through the wonders of modern technology we sent
some spies in" says the hitler lookalike. "They
found some sort of alien space station that was
somehow poisoning our sun. Once it burns out they
know there will be no resistence from us, and they
can take our solar systems resources for free."
"Wait a minute," you say. "I know we can get to the
sun, and build materials strong enough to resist
its heat, but its gravity's too strong. How did
you get this information. You can't even transmit
off it, let alone fly a ship off."
"Yes, but the aliens have much more advanced tech-
nology than us. They snuck on a saucer headed away
from us, and transmitted something off the ship.
Yet the aliens found them immediately thereafter
and, we believe, killed them.
"Your ship will be on automatic pilot until you are
too close to get away from the sun. There you will
get on a saucer headed for their home planet. Then
you will destroy their society from the inside out."
"WHAT! YOU'RE CRAZY!" you shout.
"We can kill you right here if you'd prefer."
Layout : Large level. You start in some smaller hallways of
the space station, find the blue and red keys and
then jump out into a huge hallway where an old
service train used to run. you follow its path over
to some computer terminals. Then out to the surface
of the sun (YES, I know it wouldn't have walls but
how else was I supposed to do it.)
| You get the yellow key and back to the beginning
|\ | / where you exit the space station and into a docking
| \ | / bay where you get on a ship.
| \|/ I made special effort to make this a level with a
| /|\ view. By that I mean not only great textures where
| / | \ you are but also views into cool rooms that you can't
|/ | \ get to (in most cases).
| There are four secrets: two are hidden doors and two
must be run to (over ledges etc.) One is only visible
on the map (not marked), one contains an automap.
And oh, yes, those marbfac4 posts at the beginning
(for those of you who aren't level designers, the
faces with horns on them) are switches.
Anywhere outside hurts, whether you're in lava or
not. Get a suit or an invulnerability before you go
outside.
Additional Credits to : Patrick Martin for testing and constructive criticism.
Check out his "Blakgate.wad"
It kicks ass.
Ben Morris for dck3.61
It kicks ass! I designed two maps in one week that
together total over 500 sectors, all thanks to his
editor.
All the good wads I ever played for giving me inspiration.
(Especially those mentioned above.)
John Bye for boosting my ego a little and letting
me into the Black Star Coven. Check out the
homepage at the top (or close). Mail john and become
a beta tester and you get to play a bunch of mine and
Many other Top-Quality wad designers before anyone else.
Also, play johns cygnusiv.zip.
He's at jb54@le.ac.uk
Sverre Andre Kvernmo for designing the best levels
ever (cabal and others, some in the master levels).
He's also a pretty cool guy.
"Eternal Doom II just ain't the same without him."
Be sure to mail him (if you play his levels) and tell him
how good a level designer he is.
My dad for fixing (and breaking) the computer.
And testing my levels on skill 3.
Whoever made Zennode.
And a big Thank-You-Very-Fucking-Much to anyone who
emailed me and told me my wads kick ass (actually,
no ones ever mailed me to tell me other wise, so
play this wad and agree and mail me.)
It pisses me off to see all those mid-quality wads
(which will remain nameless, except for Raven.wad.
Dumb Fucker's now at Id, and his stuff is _UGH_).
get so much attention cause of their distribution.
Me and a million others, such as Patrick Martin or
Michael Krause or others (These guys get mentioned
cause they're cool) are much better level designers...
Oh well..,
PS: IF YOU STILL USE THE KEYBOARD; MAKE THE SWITCH (I RECENTLY DID).
YOU'LL KICK ASS TWICE AS MUCH AS BEFORE!
