Description:	This is a one level WAD for DOOM II that is designed to work great as either a Deathmatch, Co- Op, or single player game. This level is packed with new graphics, and is designed to REALLY look like a city. It features a fast food place, a bar, a church (of course), a supermarket, a seven - eleven corner store, and a library. There are also phone booths, streets, sidewalks and other miscellaneous stuff. For more info about this WAD, check out Additional Notes at the end of this document.

Base:	All new level from scratch
Build time:
Editor(s) used:	DEU2, BSP, NWT
Bugs:	I couldn't figure out how to make the windows "solid". There are lots of windows in the game, but none of them will stop bullets. This is a limitation (if you can call it that) of the Doom engine. If you can see through it, you can shoot through it. I just think it looks silly when bullets and fireballs pass through supposedly solid glass panes without stopping or shattering them. Other than that, there should be no "real" bugs in this level. Send me some E-mail if you find any, though.

*Additional Notes*

This level is VERY, VERY detailed, and so it WILL cause disk - access
slow-downs on systems with only 4 meg. (like mine) I realize that 400k is a
little big for a ONE - level WAD, but I really couldn't help it if I wanted
to use all of the add-on graphics I made.

I actually pushed some limits of the doom engine to make this WAD.
Somewhere I read that limits set in the engine will cause the HOM effect if
you have too many walls on the screen at one time.  I found that instead of
the HOM effect, DOOM just bombed out to DOS with a Visplane overflow error.
This occurred when I had just too much detail on the screen at one time.
For example - on the far west side of the map, looking east, you can see the
seven - eleven, the shelves inside, the gas pumps out front, the bank, the
inside of the bank, the front of the church, the steps in front of the bank,
the sidewalk, the lines in the road, and other miscellaneous stuff in the
distance.  All of this detail put too many walls and lines on the screen at
one time and caused the visplane overflow.

In order to make this level more stable, I had to remove some of the
detail from this level, particularly at the seven - eleven intersection.
I originally had crosswalks, street-signs, and traffic lights I was trying
to put in, but I had to give them up to make my level more playable.

You will need to get all three keys to get to the exit. (in the bar)
there are several secrets in this level, so keep your eyes open.  It should
be a real challenge to exit this level with 100% kills, secrets, and items.

I hope you enjoy this WAD.  Have fun!  E-mail me and let me know what
you think!
