Title                   :HELLS FORTRESS 

Associated files        :HELLFORT.WAD, HELLFORT.TXT
Author                  :Ben Davies (d3095027@bohm.anu.edu.au)

Description             :A large fortress level which includes several 
                         towers, a gatehouse, a large central courtyard,
a 
                         well, a dungeon with prison cells, a second
prison
                         with two torture chambers (one with a rack!), a
small
                         armoury, a gallery/library area, a pagan
chapel, and 
                         many other smaller rooms.

                         You begin near the gatehouse, simply clear the
fort 
                         of any hell spawn that have infested and find
your 
                         way out.

Design Notes:           :I wanted to have the level to have a dark and
evil
                         atmosphere to it, so I have made several areas
quite
                         dark (especially the dungeon/torture chambers).
I
                         spent hours aligning all the textures. Textures
used
                         include stone, marble, wood, metal and vine
type 
                         textures to give it a medieval look.  Enjoy!

                         Also, I have tried to give the architecture a
                         medieval feel, and this has taken quite a lot
of time 
                         I have tried to make the level pleasing to the
eye, 
                         as amatuer levels with poor texture choice and
no 
                         alignment look terrible.

Base                    :  New level from scratch
Build Time              :  Many hours, probably 55+ over about 2 months,
                           Finished Feb 1997
Editor(s) used          :  WinDEU 5.24 (Good)
Known Bugs              :  None!  (There were 4 sections where small
HOMs
                           occured, however I fixed the problem by
adding
                           a smaller sector behind the wall. This has 
                           fixed the problem, and does not affect the
game 
                           at all) I hate HOMs!
                      
                           This level was tested on ultimate DOOM 1.9,
there
                           are some sectors where there are many 2S
linedefs,
                           this may cause HOMs on versions lower than
1.666
                           If any HOMs do occur, mail me and I will fix
them.
