Description             : Challenger Levels? Corny? Not when you play them.
                          These levels are all varied but they are
                          tough. Here's a name and a description for each
                          of them. Episode 1 is specifically for deathmatch,
                          while the rest are THE levels I made.

Levels
        E2M1: The Fist - This is a beginner level and is certainly the
                        easiest except for maybe the Author level. The
                        challenge is the lack of ammo.
        E2M2: The Star - This is a fun and short level. Great for
                        Deathmatch. The challenge is the enemies and not
                        blowing yourself with the rocket launcher.
        E2M3: The Race - Named for the three rooms. It is a lot easier
                        to race along the floor instead of fighting all
                        the monsters on the top in the final room. The
                        challenge is in each of the three monster rooms.
                        There is an element of racing in each of them.
        E2M4: The Traps - With lots of little constructions and a Deathmatch
                        layout, this level can be very difficult on
                        Ultra-Violence or Nightmare :)  Oh, this level can
                        slow down slower computers. The challenge is to
                        find the keys and see what they yield.
        E2M5: 4 Corners - This is the biggest level but you only need to
                        complete one corner to complete it. I don't recommend
                        doing the bottom left hand corner if you have less
                        than Doom v1.666. The easiest corner is probably the
                        top right one and certainly the hardest is the
                        bottom right hand corner. BTW, I did not intend
                        obscene imagery in this one. One of my friends told
                        me about it, but it was too late. The challenge is
                        figuring all the corners out.
        E2M6: The Heart - This all red level which can be used for a lot of
                        symbolism is a relaxation from the 4 Corners level.
                        The challenge is completing the level.
        E2M7: The BIG one - This is an adventure. It is a monster level that
                        is finishable. Make sure you save it often. This
                        level will slow down slower computers so be warned.
                        The challenge is completing from start to finish.
                        It'll probably take over an hour on your first try.
        E2M8: The Bosses - Yes, it is possible. I have done it, even
                        on Ultra-Violence.
        E2M9: The Author - Just my ego sticking in here. This should last
                        for an indefinite amount of time. Go ahead and
                        e-mail.
        E3M1: The Maze   - Or the Poison Maze. This is a pain in the butt!
                        Try and follow the map. It is a great level if
                        you understand it. In the spider part,
                        R,L,L,R or L,R,R,L will get you through it.
        E3M2: The Light  - A graphically awesome level. I have had some
                        bugs with it though. If you can't figure out the
                        end, it is in the center (the green column) and
                        triggered by running around the edges of the diamond.

        E1M1: E1M2 - I took out the dark maze because people thought it was
                        too big with it in.
        E1M2: E1M2 - This part is the maze without the other part. The exit
                        is near the chainsaw.
        E1M3: E1M1 - This is the original. No changes.
        E1M4: The Light - No changes here either.
        E1M5: The Bat Cave - This is my modified version of E1M1
        E1M6: The Outside - This is my modified version of E1M2
        E1M7: The Star - I think this is a good deathmatch level :)
        E1M8: The Bosses - No changes here.
        E1M9: The Traps - This is the original. No changes.

* Construction *

Base:                   : My imagination. People have called me a sadist
                          because of these levels.

Editor(s) used          : DEU 5.21 gcc, midi2mus
                          
Known Bugs              : There are many minor graphics ones in the four
                          corners, the poison maze, the light, but it is
                          extremely difficult to fix. I did see the one
                          in the demo.
                          Also, the last demo on the Big One will not work
                          on a E2M7 on a 486-33 with 4 RAM. That shouldn't
                          bother most people.
                          I'm sure there are more but I haven't
                          encountered them yet.


* Copyright / Permissions *

Authors MAY use this level as a base to build additional
levels or add graphics to it PROVIDED credits are given to me. I would also
like an e-mail about what it is. I spent a lot of time on these levels.

You MAY distribute this WAD, provided you include this file, with
no modifications.  You may distribute this file in any electronic
format (BBS, Diskette, CD, etc) as long as you include this file 
intact.

* Where to get this WAD *

FTP sites: ftp.cdrom.com

Miscellaneous junk: Want me to create more? E-mail me.
Also, yes, ALL the music was replaced. It is from Square's Final Fantasy
series. I took them from Andrew Vestal's web site, converted them to mus,
and placed them in my p-wad. While not necessarily better than the original
Doom music, they do add some variety. A lot of the music is from the FF5
Japanese version.

Demos: Yes, all of them are there.
Light - This one was meant to show off.
Traps - This one is on Ultra-Violence to show it is possible.
The Big One - This one was meant to eat up time.

General: If there are any major glaring bugs, please e-mail me. I am very
annoyed with the graphics ones, but I don't know what to do. I'm pretty
sure it has to do with the nodes.

Updated Notes: There were no previously public released versions. However,
I did give out previous ones to my friends so I will tell the changes.

D1BIP0_3.WAD:   The first group of my wads. Contained a crappy first level
                has been since taken out, the Star level and the Race level.
D1BIP0_4.WAD:   Includes the first crappy level, the Star level, the Race
                level, the BIG one and the Heart level.
D1BIP0_5.WAD:   Includes the Author level, the Star level, the Race level,
                the Trap level, the 4 Corners level, the Heart level and
                the BIG one for the secret.
D1BIP0_6.WAD:   Finally, all of Episode 1 has been replaced. Includes the
                Fist level, the Star level, the Race level, the Trap level,
                the 4 Corners level, the Heart level, the BIG one, the Boss
                level and the Author level.
name.WAD:       I created various updated ones to fix bugs and had
                different people test them.
D1BIP0_7.WAD:   Tried to fix everything. Added some stuff to the smaller
                levels. It is possible to do them all in par. I found out
                about the music.
D1BIP0_8.WAD:   Replaced Episode 3 specifically for deathmatch. No new
                levels are found but there are some old ones adjusted.
                I separated the music from the levels in case some people
                got annoyed with it.
D1BIP0_9.WAD:   Moved the deathmatch to Episode 1 for a better secret loop.
                Also moved the music so that it matches episodes. I modified
                the original for fun.... also because people like those
                levels for deathmatch, I thought this might be interesting.
                I fixed more bugs...
Note: All of them included minor changes to each of the levels.
