SHORT INFO:
Author:
vIE (but for some reasons, i'm using a little different nick "vIE888")
My true name is Chris.
I'm 25 years old and I'm from Poland.
I'm living in a city of Gdansk near The Baltic Sea.
I've started mapping for quake in 2003 and I've done some few maps and map packs.
Some of them are for Q1,Q2,Q3 and the rest of them are for Hexen 2.
The editor, which I've used to building maps is called - QuArK, it's the most intuitive Q1 ED of all I've ever come to used (THX for that goes to QuArK team).
I still got some other projects, which I didn't finished yet, these are in my archives :) since 2008.
E-Mail: vie888@tlen.pl
Game Type: SP
Music: There are 4 tracks, which I done myself
Textures: Well, I think I had used some of the early version of ReTexture Project (facelift) Textures and I would like to thank to whole team at http://facelift.quakedev.com
Build Time: Look into my old wpage :)
Difficulty Settings: I changed things a bit, now you can choose your skill settings, Easy-Normal-Hard-Nightmare.
But be aware, this doesn't change anything on maps, it's only standard quake sets (slower-faster monsters, health dropping slower-faster and so on...)
Bugs: There are no nasty bugs, except: (1) on vxmas1, there's a room with machine that should heal you, but I messed up something and it won't work, sorry for that.(second) my english, this could be a litlle funny sometimes :)
PS. I tried to modify TSD, to make it a bug free pack, but well...there's a mess and I don't want to make it worse.
This ReadMe: Yeah, it's a crap, I know that :)
I've never liked write too much, and my english is not perfect, but I'm always trying to make it more legible.
RUNNING OPTIONS:
There are 2 archives with BAT files. Each for other quake port.
(1) If you're using nehahra port unpack: Neh BAT Files [nehexe is for very low-end cpu's :) dpnehahra uses blooming effects and some more, dedicated to......low-end cpu's :)]
(2) If you're using Dark Places port unpack: DP BAT File, Dark Places got quite a lot of improvements, dedicated to those who wants to make quake live forever :D
Whatever engine you choose, go for it!
Press ESC and you'll see a quake console.
In the upper part, there's some nice info about The Snowy Dream, skill settings and running game itself.
Read and type the words on the keyboard, press enter and start the game, it couldn't be easier :)
Enjoy it!
