================================================================ Title : Darkstorm - Critical Path Filename : CRITPATH.WAD Author : Brendan Williamson Email Address : brendan@smug.student.adelaide.edu.au Description : Critical Path is a Doom II PWAD for advanced players, preferably those with faster computers, and is difficult enough to challenge anyone on the first few attempts. However, once you've analysed the tactics necessary for the level's completion, it all becomes rather easy. Par time is 28 minutes. Additional Credits to : Adrian Williamson, for the testing and the demo. ================================================================ * Play Information * Episode and Level # : Map 01 of Doom 2 Single Player : Yes Cooperative 2-4 Player : Yes Deathmatch 2-4 Player : Yes, but it's not designed for it, and it's much too big. Difficulty Settings : Implemented in most (but not all) rooms. New Sounds : No New Graphics : Yes New Music : Music replaced with E1M7 from Doom 1. Demos Replaced : Sort of; type 'cpdemo' in the Doom II directory for a demo of the first room. It's placed here to prove that, appearances to the contrary, the first room is a doddle. Notes :- A basic rule of the WAD is that if you can see a place, you can somehow reach it. You might have to go through five secret doors and a teleporter, but you can get there. - Note that the red keycard is *not* required to complete the level - it confers a tactical advantage, but nothing more. - Secret areas are hidden from IDBEHOLD A. - If the level runs too slowly on your computer, try playing on a lower skill level, as the reduced number of monsters will speed things up. * Construction * Base : New level from scratch Editor(s) used : DCK, NWT, WinTex Known Bugs : Avoid attempting to save your games, as the level is too big for games to save successfully. Just pretend you're playing Descent :) * Copyright / Permissions * Authors probably shouldn't use this level as a base to build additional levels. It's too big already...
