| Description: |
A 36 level megawad for Ult. Doom replacing all 4 episodes. It's a collection of my levels released over the past 25 years, so it's kind of anniversary release. Also, this is the year that Doom turns 30. congratulations Doom! Most levels you will recognize if you're familiar with my work while a few levels are brand new for this release. Some levels have seen minor or major alterations. I just that no matter how many levels you've played or haven't played, that you you will enjoy playing these levels. I've tried to avoid a simple copy and paste affair and have spent almost 2 years on making this an interesting, engaging and exciting compilation despite the very obvious reuse and recycling present. It is after all an anthology :)
New custom skies from scratch by me. I also made some liquid textures. Use them if you please in your own levels; just remember to credit me, thanks.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
************************************************* Pistol start intended, but feel free to play continuously.
Jumping and mouselook NOT intended. May break progression if you do. Noclipping definitely not recommended.
The episode 3 sky will have a little ugliness in it if you use GZDoom in software renderer mode with capped skies on. Nothing mayor, just ignore it.
Load hb_stbar.wad after hellbane.wad if you prefer a fullscreen status bar.
Damaging floors: Nukage 2-5%. Lava 5-10%. Water and blood no damage.
IMPORTANT SOURCEPORT NOTE: In order for the boss levels to function correctly you will need one of these sourceports or newer. The wad requires a sourceport that supports UMAPINFO if you want the intended experience:
DSDA-Doom 0.26.2 PrBoom+ 2.5.17um PrBoom+ 2.6.66-ucrt64 PrBoom+ 2.61um-w32 Woof 11.2.0-win64 GZDoom dev builds from 16th July 2023 onwards (boss levels wont work in GZDoom 4.10)
