After all, I made them myself. You MAY distribute this WAD, provided you include this file with NO modifications. You may distribute this file in electronic format (BBS, diskette, etc.) as long as this file is included intact. You may not put this file on CD unless this file is included and you notify me first. ============================================================================= *Where to get this wad* FTP: ftp.cdrom.com and mirrors ============================================================================= Starting the madness: All the CS3 files must be in your DOOM2 directory. The first time you run CS3.bat, it will set up the game. This will NOT modify any original data, so DON'T WORRY. The next times you start CS3, Cool Stuff 3 will start up right away, unless you have deleted any of the necessary files. Multiplayer games in Cool Stuff 3: You can: A- Copy the CS3RUN.EXE over your Doom2.exe, then start fighting with CS3.WAD (Just remember to BACK UP Doom2.exe). All others who are playing must do this too. B- Just use the normal Doom2, but with CS3.wad (Safest way) Your new CS3 environment: The Cool Stuff 3 environment has changed from the normal Doom2 one. First, you can be protected from projectiles by hiding behind trees, stumps, and other large obstacles. This can be useful during a large firefight. Another change is that if dead bodies get in your way, shoot `em down! Yes, now you can easily get rid of any dead thing that becomes a problem. When you shoot them down, there is a nice bloody splatter. Also, in Bloodfest (level 7), since it is set in a post-war zone, some floors are very frail an can give way as soon as you set foot on them. You have been warned. The inhabitants of Cool Stuff 3: All the monsters are as usual, except the mancubus, the trooper, and the sergeant. Sergeants are now Evil Marines: Twice as fast and twice as deadly as the normal guys. The really fun part about blowing 'em away is how fast and far they fly! Troopers have lead legs : They fall off edges really fast and move really slow. Mancubus is the Commander : Your target is the Evil Marine Commander. This is him. Expect him to be wearing something new and being three times as tough to kill. The firepower of Cool Stuff 3: All the guns are as usual except the Plasma gun. Plasma gun is Charge Cannon : Hot off the UAC assembly lines, the LX-2 Charge Cannons are the latest of the plasma arsenal. This gun which looks frighteningly familiar to the Plasma Rifle, shoots a field of invisible "Charged ion" particles. Once these particles enter organic material, expect a nice and bloody explosion. This baby is so powerful that it can vaporize a Cyberdemon in less than 2 seconds. For best results, use at point blank range. NOTE: This gun eats cells like popcorn. ANOTHER NOTE: This gun was not designed for deathmatch use. Hence, it will NOT be present in deathmatches with Cool Stuff 3. Besides, it wouldn't be fair, as you would get vaporized in a split second. The Story so far...: After kicking alien ass, you'd think you'd get a little gratitude. No, no, no, instead, for assault on many fellow officers (like you had a choice?), you were thrown into an old prison filled with interplanetary convicts. You spent over a year rotting in your cell, but then, dumb luck gives you a chance to fight back. On your execution day, you realize that the USMC itself has been allying itself with the demons from hell. That's why you were put away. Soon after lights-out, a stray explosive flies in through your window, punches through the bars, and blows up in the cell across yours, destroying it. The explosion revealed a passageway under a switch which happened to be right in your cell. Now you may have a chance! The only thing else you know about this prison is that there is a helipad on the roof which is actually a teleporter. Wiping blood and sweat from your face, you brace yourself to undertake the Bloodfest Missions, created by you, to get out of this hell, enter another, and destroy the force controlling all the corruption: the Evil Marine Commander. *DISCLAIMER* I am not to be held responsible for any accidental damage of the DOOM2 files. If you don't start this with CS3.BAT, use it at your own risk. =============================================================================
