- (C)1994 SNESPC U.S.A.
- PLEASE READ THIS TEXT! IMPORTANT INFO. ENCLOSED!
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
- COPYRIGHT NOTICE: You may edit, alter, or modify any material with in the
- level you downloaded. If you decide to upload your
- changes to a BBS, or software library, Please include
- the author of the original level (George Fiffy, a.k.a.
- Resident Expert of Leominster) in your credits!
- FEEL FREE TO DISTRIBUTE THIS DOOM LEVEL!
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
- A MENU SYSTEM IS ENCLOSED! This menu, which is shareware (it says so), is
- something I copied off the college computers. Instead of typing in the
- loooooong DOOM command line to get to this level, you just select the
- level of difficulty from the menu. You can escape to DOS, and there's
- an option to load a game, using the simple DOOM command line. You will
- recieve the following files:
-
- REoLDOOM.COM, AUTOMENU.MDF, and ECHO.DAT.
-
- These are IMPORTANT files! Do NOT remove them unless you don't want
- the menu system. You can make your own menu by using a text editor to
- modify the AUTOMENU.MDF file. It's easy to see how it works! A new file
- will be created the first time you run the menu. DON'T PANIC! It does
- this so you can escape to DOS a lot faster the next time around, and in
- the future. ALL IS TESTED TO BE 100% VIRUS-FREE!
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ABOUT THE TOTAL WAR III EXPERIENCE:
- To play the new level, type REoLDOOM to start total chaos!
- This is probably one of the weirdest DOOM levels you may ever had
- played! There are soooo many weird effects and illusions you may have
- thought would be IMPOSSIBLE to do (if you're a DOOM level maker your-
- self)! The effects you will see start right in the beginning! A door
- in the middle of the starting area! You'll also see doors coming out
- of the sky, dark rooms you can see fine in (it doesn't make sense at
- all, doesn't it? Well, it was done. You'll be suprised!), and get this,
- INVISABLE BUILDINGS! You may see the doors (sometimes), and maybe the
- windows, but you don't see a building attatched! The "pancake syndrome"
- is also cleared up (flat outer retaining walls, and unflattened entry-
- ways can be seen BEYOND the walls, to show thickness, unlike E3M1).
- Some "flatness" is around, but that's because there are invisable
- buildings around. Invisable doors leave "slices" or voids in the wall,
- or the top of the wall.
- One neat DOOM effect is the Hall Of Mirrors. One room has this
- effect in it's windows. This is NO screw-up. It's done on PURPOSE!
- The "teleporting theory" found in the real E3M7 is also in here,
- but with a different twist. All I'm going to say is that it's harder to
- do (heh, heh, heh!).
- Also, be carefull of a few nasty areas! There are five areas where
- you'll be fighting very hard! You won't be fighting as hard as in TOTAL
- WAR II, E1M2, but it's quite a nasty brawl!
-
- MULTI-PLAYER: This is an adventure for up to four of your friends. Each
- can grab a shotgun and a backpack at the start, so don't be greedy!
-
- DEATHMATCH: You'll start off with a shotgun, shells, and an energy
- pack next to you. Why the energy pack? SOMEWHERE (not in a secret
- area) in this world is a BFG9000! Two of you will be very close!
- The other two people are also in good position to get it as well!
-
- KNOWN "BOO-BOOS":
- * Once again, I ran into that "there's too many enemies on-screen"
- problem again. Some enemies or other things may "dissapear". Oh well,
- if it happened in E1M2 of TOTAL WAR II, it'll happen here (ha,ha!)!
- * There is a Hall Of Mirrors problem at the "Triangular switchboard".
- It's only a small band. This is NOT suposed to happen! No big deal!
- * A switch that suposed to open an invisable door and keep it open is
- somehow shut on occasion by the enemies you face. I fixed this by
- making it's switch retriggerable, in case it happens again.
- * Got a PENTIUM? If not, it's alright, if you have a high speed 486
- at 33MHz or greater (my 486 is a 20. Goes real slow on this one!).
- If you have a (lowly) 386, I hope it's going 50 to 66MHz!
- * Demo is known to CRASH on my crash-happy computer. If this does
- happen to you, please shut off your EMM836 memory manager. It
- ALWAYS worked when it was turned off.

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Some people wonder why I don't make an entire episode. As you can see,
- construction is pretty complex, quite large, and does look like it takes
- FOREVER (two weeks, before college beginns in September), and it DOES! I
- have no time to make episodes! I just make very big levels.
