Title : THIEVES.wad Filename : THIEVES.zip Date : 3/4/96 Author : Engdahl, Wm. 4-D CREATIONS [reddawg] E-mail Address : none/or [dlbaer@halcyon.com (forwards messages) ] Misc. Author Info : Old Dawg playing with his wads. I like designing the arenas. This is a Combo-wad of 7 Other People's wads that I've stolen, redone, retextured, and then added new music. They are in order: Foxer.wad.............by Robert Wong Clerdang.wad..........by Steve Huskisson W00P.wad..............by Unknown, sorry about that.. Psycho.wad............by Steve Mooradian Brikyard.wad..........by Alan R. Johns Camelot.wad...........by Joe Gryglik [Mad Dog] D9-2.wad, [map 3].....by Mal Blackwell These are all very popular wads which I've changed to fix some things that always bugged me about them, but basically they are reasonably intact. However, I didn't just slap them together into a Combo-wad and add new music; I did some extensive work on them, plus completely changed all textures to those I use in my own wads. I hope I've improved them a bit but they were already fine wads, so who knows...... * Play Information * Game : DOOM2 Level # : MAP1-7 Single Player : No, just to take a look... Cooperative 2-4 Player : No. Deathmatch 2-4 Player : YES! Kill yer buddies...This is a Deathmatch 2.0 wad designed for 2-4 players. These arenas vary from good 2 player wads to good 4 player wads. [Basically, they all work fine with 3 players] There are some secrets to discover in some of the wads, but basically they are rather straight forward. The exits are generally either in the open and obvious, or behind a door with torches or candles in front it. Difficulty Settings : Yes! If there is a BFG in the map, it is available ONLY in skill 3. Skill 4-5 has less ammo and a bit less health, otherwise the settings are basically the same. New Sounds : Yes! New Graphics : Yes! New Music : Yes! Demos Replaced : None replaced * Construction * Base : Stolen wads as listed above... Build Time : A moderate amount... Editor(s) used : Wintex by Oliver Montanuy DCK by Ben Morris and Colin Reed Known Bugs: I fixed them... Thanks to all the folks at Id Software, this is such an excellent game!!! Thanks to all the players on Seattle Dwango for their help too, especially Nemesis, Thantos and Dlbaer! [and a special thanks to Nemesis for letting me steal her laugh for the guts death...and to James Jennings for helping me to understand Wintex and DCK........................[woof!] ************************** Copyright / Permissions ************************** * * * Authors may NOT use this level as a base to build additional levels! * * You may NOT combine it with other wads into large combo-wads or alter * * it and/or rename it without written permission from me!
