- LMP File Name/S : PRPL25??.LMP
- LMP Author : S Widlake
- Email Address : swidlake@rl.ac.uk
- DOOM Version : 1.2 (Registered ;-)
- Skill Level : Ultra Violent
- No. Players : Single Player
- Running Time/S : 14-16 Mins (Viglen IV 33, 20MB RAM)
-
- Comments : Six [ yeah 6 - this is probably a bit excessive but
- that's only about 10% of the ones I recorded, many
- unseccessful :-( - what the heck, they compress well
- enough and there's no one forcing you to down-load
- them :-) ] .LMP recordings made of "Marine" Solie's
- PURPLE25.WAD creation. I don't make a habit of down
- loading single .WAD files; I'd much prefer entire
- alternative episodes similar, in progressive size
- and difficulty, to the DOOM episodes [ or episodes
- designed for deathmatches 8-) ] ; anyway PURPLE is
- my favourite colour (UK) so... I liked this .WAD a
- lot - probably because it looks so good to watch.
- Maybe it is a bit too "easy" for a single player
- but it is a challenge - 3 or 5 Barrons to play with
- and an easy kill on a Spider ;-) The design is a
- little strange though - you only need two keys to
- complete it but getting the third key is the level.
- So I've done it in two stages. If I had more time
- (roll on ver 1.4 !) I reckon I could kill them all
- [ inc. the maze past the red key - which I didn't
- record :-( ] and exit the level in approx. 25 mins.

- PRPL25L0 LMP 116472 22/06/94 23:19 Takes 'bout 14 Min 15 Seconds
-
- This was (I think) my first sucessful completion of the level slowly.
- Go for the yellow key and then the blue key 'cos they're both needed,
- killing them as I go along, picking up all the nice weapons but at the
- same time avoiding the "unneccessary" areas.
-
- PRPL25LA LMP 126840 23/06/94 21:36 Takes 'bout 15 Min 15 Seconds
- PRPL25LB LMP 130736 23/06/94 23:10 Takes 'bout 15 Min 50 Seconds
- PRPL25LC LMP 115028 24/06/94 21:20 Takes 'bout 14 Min 00 Seconds
-
- Better RUN-through completions of the level. Similar but different. By
- now I'd learnt most of this level so it was time to rush in there and
- get at 'em before they knew I was there.
-
- PRPL25S1 LMP 129668 25/06/94 20:06 Takes 'bout 16 Min 00 Seconds
- PRPL25S2 LMP 131316 25/06/94 21:21 Takes 'bout 16 Min 05 Seconds
-
- After a change of plan, these show the getting of the Red (third) key and
- the "Easy Kill" of the spider, then back to the three Barrons by the first
- (Yellow) key with a Big "Fragging" (plasma) Gun. It should be rather easy
- to complete the level from there on but I always found that I'm short on
- time - so I kill myself. I think this is a bit strange - the maximum time
- for a .LMP file is supposed to be about 20 Mins [ before the game bombs
- with some dumb error and NO recording :-( but this is being fixed in the
- next release :-) ] but I found that any time approching 16:30 tends to
- fall over. Maybe it's someting to do with this .WAD, I don't know, I use
- a rat-type-device, maybe that's it, I'm guessing, but in this case it's
- best to finish (or die) as soon as possible past the 16 min point...

-
- These .LMPS were recorded using a DOOM Command line similar to...
-
- DOOM -Devparm -File Purple25.Wad -Skill 4 -Warp 2 5 -Record Prpl
-
- Don't forget the "Warp 2 5" parameter 'cos without it you get E1L1 -
- this level could have been placed at any level in each of the episodes
- but at least the music is different from E1L1 (I can get so bored with
- that but that's where most people seem to put their levels - boo).
-
- To play the .LMP files back again use sometime along the lines of...
-
- DOOM -File Purple25.Wad -Playdemo filename
-
- Where "filename" is the name of the .LMP file but WithOut the ."LMP
- extension. You don't need to specify any of the other options since
- they get picked up from the .LMP. However, don't forget the "-File
- Purple25.Wad" (this time With the extension) paramater 'cos it'll
- look really stupid if you miss it out.
-
- So, see the .BAT files
-
- PLAY-TWO BAT 93 28/06/94 21:39 Play my "Best Two" Recordings
- PLAY-ALL BAT 269 28/06/94 21:39 Play them All - takes a while
- REC-PRPL BAT 71 28/06/94 21:40 Record your own "Purple25.LMP"
-
-
- If you can kill the Spider AND finish the level, well you win basically.
- But if you can please can you record your efforts and let me know where
- I can get at it 'cos I'd love to be able to see/do this.
-
- Oh, I forgot to say this before, so I'll mention it now... whilst playing
- this .WAD at no time did I notice any major bugs - No HOM effects and NO
- FOB's (whatever they might be). However I did have one minor problem with
- the yellow door - it shut. It went like this - they're all down, I open
- the yellow door, looks clear, wander in... oh bugger, it's a Baron, back
- off, sound of death, then the door opens and Mr. Baron comes in... Blam,
- not down yet, and I waste 'im :-) but the yellow door has come down, and
- I can't re-open it - what's the deal here, it wouldn't open again :-(
-
- Okay which .LMP do I try next...
-
- DOOM On...

-
- PS: see RAL3MAN.ADD the d/l the .ZIP 'cos it's bloody brilliant, OK ;-)
