The Mars Missions - version B update

[sparky]

Here's an unauthorized, updated version of the recently released MARSPRV9.ZIP (originally by Berthold Beckschfer and Thomas Lokum. The Mars Missions is for Doom II and features: 10 single-player maps, some new monsters, modified weapons, music, sound, and
lots of new graphics.

The original version contained 836 files and required 50 MB to create a whole new iwad! This version is in 'standard' wad format and contains only 3 files (.deh .wad and .txt).

It works fine with 'Plain Vanilla' Doom II v1.9 but no patching is required if you use a Source Port which can import DeHackEd patches and pwads containing sprite data; such as: Boom, PRboom, MBF, SMMU, PrjDoom, ZDoom, ZDoomGL, Legacy, etc. (it doesn't work with glLegacy).

You can get the updated version from here (2.4 MB):

Because it's an unauthorized version, I won't be
distributing it through the regular channels.

AFAIK the original authors are doing an update of their WAD themselves for ZDooM. If you have not seen yet you may want to go to http://www.notgod.com/phorum/read.php?f=6&i=821&t=821
However, great work as ever, Sparky!

Don't get too excited Rex, the Olympics are coming
...once every 4 years I don't sleep for 2 weeks!

Even Doom got put on hold last time - or was that Quake,
Duke Nukem, Blood or Shadow Warrior back in 1996????
Nope, it must have been Doom2 ;-)

Thanks for the link Tarin.
I notified the authors (Berthold Beckschfer and Thomas Lokum)about my mod.
I didn't change anything (not even the bugs), so I hope they don't mind.
Judging by their puzzles, these blokes are very bright - I'm looking forward to seeing what they can do with ZDoom. Hopefully they'll finish the project with 'Plain Vanilla' Doom2 before they start the ZDoom conversion.
