Here is a compilation of my top 4 favorite fanmade DOOM episodes,

spanning 11 years, arranged as a complete game.  With the exceptions of

the levels themselves, I put everything together. All graphics, level names,

music changes (except episode 1), and source code changes (with the exception

of those already implemented in Plague2.deh).  I had to fix some of the bugs

in the original DEH file, but everything seems to work out fine.  Episode 3

ain't the greatest, but I still like it.

- Episode I  : The Mars Plague (v.2), by James Stewart and Ryan Weiss

- Episode II : Ultimate, by Sean Powers

- Episode III: The Apocalypse Project, by Daniel Hornbaker

- Episode IV : Fava Beans, by Sean Birkel



           ======================================

The first point is to tell you that the real name for the episode II is

"Ultimate", and not "Ultimate Doom"!!! At least, it was the name given

by Sean Powers...

The second point is that Daniel Hornbaker created The Apocalypse Project

with 2 new textures for the walls, but they were deleted by Scott Serino!!!

So, I put those textures again. I inverted also E1M3 and E1M6, in order to

have the access to the secret level

           ======================================



I had to debug a lot of things which were able to hang the Doom engine,

like zero length linedefs, unused sectors or linedefs, etc...

E1M1 was so hideous that I added a very few details, and I changed some textures,

thanks to DoomBuilder. Of course, I had also to align the textures.

I add also, for example, to add a missing teleportation destination on E1M6, which

was causing a teleportation inside a void space, or to add a missing tag to a sector

for a teleportation.

Everything should work fine, but if there are any bugs other than the ones

mentioned below...let me know.  Thanks again to all those who made the

episodes, if they're even active with DOOM anymore.



And now here are the README's from the original WADs.



_______________________________________________________________________

PLAGUE2 - The Mars Plague (version 2)

- a whole 9-levels, single-player episode for Doom or Ultimate Doom v1.9



This is a 'legalized' version of PLAGUE.ZIP - the original version

contained an illegal hacked doom.exe; this version contains an

equivalent DeHackEd patch.



Original authors:  James Stewart             JimStewart@mail.utexas.edu

                   Ryan Weiss                CROSSIS@aol.com

Version 2 Update:  Sparky of KISS Software   kelm@eisa.net.au



Mods made by Sparky of KISS Software:

- converted the 'illegal' doom.exe file to an equivalent DeHackEd patch.

- combined the four wads (levels, sound, music and graphics) into a

  single wad file. Removed a lot of unused resource entries and deleted

  the wasted space (about 300KB).

- sorted the wad resources and added the appropriate start/end markers

  for compatability with some Source Ports.

- appended the detailed story (uacmars.txt) to the end of this document.

- no changes were made to the levels themselves.





To play PLAGUE2 with 'Plain Vanilla' Doom or Ultimate Doom you'll need

to run the patch file plague2.deh through DeHackEd v3.1.



A better option is to use a Doom Source Port with DeHackEd support,

such as: Boom, PRboom, MBF, SMMU, ZDoom, PrjDoom, Legacy, etc.

Patching is not required with these source ports.  For example:

  Boom/MBF/SMMU/ZDoom/PrjDoom:     -deh plague2 -file plague2

  PRboom:   -width 640 -height 400 -deh plague2 -file plague2

  Legacy:   -deh plague2.deh -file plague2.wad

Title: The Mars Plague

File Name: Plague.zip (Includes Doomhack.exe, Plague.wad, 

            Newmus.wad, Margfx.wad, Marvox.wad, and UACMars.txt)

Authors: James Stewart and Ryan Weiss

Email Address: James can be reached at: JimStewart@mail.utexas.edu

                and Ryan can be reached at: CROSSIS@aol.com  We put

                way too much work into this Episode, but it would make

                it all worthwhile if you would send us your thoughts on

                our creation.

Misc. Author info:  James is the author of Lake.wad, JamesBrown.wad, and

                    AdamSandler.wad.  Ryan is the author of JerkyDoom,

                    Ace VenturaDoom, and Nirvana.wad.



Description:  This is an entire level, complete with new music, weapons, and 

                some new graphics.  It was designed to provide the best

                of solo, deathmatch and cooperative play.  After you escape

                the Hell that Mars has become, UAC sends you the bill for

                several billion dollars worth of property damage.  They are

                willing to forgive this debt if you will clean out one little

                lab on Mars where some genetic experiments have gone terribly,

                terribly, wrong.  The accompanying UACMars.txt elaborates 

                greatly on this storyline and provides a description of the 

                new weapons you will be provided with.



Additional Credits to: Ryan's wife, for her divine patience.  Now that it is 

                        all over, you can have Ryan back!

SPECIAL CLASSIFIED MILITARY DOCUMENT:

FOR AUTHORIZED UAC PERSONNEL ONLY

To: Corporal X, United Planetary Marine Corps

Date: December 16, 2004  19:00 hours, Earth military calendar

Subject: THE MARS PLAGUE



Corporal:



In the 2 years since the initial attack on the military bases and UAC

laboratories of the moons of Mars, specifically, PHOBOS and it's sister

moon DEIMOS;  The United Planetary Marine Corps, in conjunction with

the United Aerospace Corporation has been fighting a losing battle

against an overwhelming swarm of hostile invaders from a still, as of

yet, unidentified planet or dimension of origin.



It has recently been discovered that over a period of exposure to

Mars's atmosphere, even inside the oxygenated domes, human personnel

have developed a sickness or plague causing madness and, eventually, a

violent, painful death.  The disturbing fact is that shortly after

death, the body seems to be returning to a zombie-like state of

re-animation, combined with homicidal rage and insatiable thirst for

human blood.  Later stages of the disease include freak mutations of

the human DNA, causing humans to evolve into unspeakable horriffic

monsters capable of  overwhelming destruction.



We at UAC are aware that you and your platoon recently performed a

heavy sweep of Phobos and Deimos, however the destruction you caused to

our facilities in the process has been estimated in the tens of

millions dollars in property and research loss.



Unfortunately, this financial liability will fall upon your unit and

the UP Marine Corps.



However, we might be willing to waive the fiscal responsibility for the

damaged laboraties if you and your platoon were to perform a small

favor for us.



It is believed that this infection, or plague, does not occur

naturally, and is therefore engineered by the hostiles as a biological

weapon.  It is also believed that this plague has spread to the surface

of Mars, which contains a very large population of human colonists.



Our drop ship will deposit you and your unit just inside the ARIES

mineral refining facility in what is believed to be an abandoned access

line in one of the adamantium mines near TERRAFORMER COLONY 7.

Your orders are simply to terminate the hostiles, contain the plague,

and leave no evidence of its existance--including YOURSELF, should you

become infected.  Your plan of attack is to proceed to COLONY 7, sweep

all the surrounding facilities, then take out the COMMAND CENTER, as it

is believed to be under heavy enemy control.  Under NO circumstances

are you to venture beyond BASE COCHISE or enter the BIOSPHERE at the

south end of the Mars colony."



Should this information become public, UAC WILL DENY ALL KNOWLEDGE OF

YOUR MISSION AND WHEREABOUTS.



To assist your mission, UAC has provided an update on our current

conventional and biological weapons enineering progress:



UAC MARS ALLOY COMBAT ARMOR

The Bioweapons division of UAC has been hard at work on increasing both

its offensive and defensive capability.  In the last several weeks,

mining reports have revealed a newly discovered, unnamed metal alloy

indiginous to Mars, and unlike anything available on Earth.

Preliminary testing has revealed that this alloy is 50% stronger than

our toughest Titanium combat armor vests, giving its user an unheard of

300% armor protection.  The unfortunate setback is, that the alloy is

incompatible with any of the metals used in our existing defenses.

When coming in contact with our Kelvin or Titanium armor vests or

helmets, an instant chemical reaction occurs and the Mars alloy breaks

apart at the cellular level.  So military personnel engaging the

hostiles should be warned that coming into contact with any other form

of  armor will render the Mars alloy combat armor vest completely

useless.



UAC AUTOMATIC SHOTGUN

In our conventional weapons division, we have developed, successfully

tested, and stowed aboard your ship's armory, a new, faster loading and

firing shotgun. This will be effective for engaging small numbers of

enemy invaders.



UAC BFG 10,000

Our Bioweapons division is proud to announce the newest jewel in its

crown, the BFG 10,000.  Very similar to its long-used predecessor--the

BFG 9000 (the state-of-the-art in riot control), our chemical engineers

were able to modify both the weapon itself, and the ammunition it uses.

The Mars alloy has been chemically synthesized into a new form of

plasma energy creating a much faster, more destructive projectile.

The weapon itself, is now much faster and more energy efficient, using

only 10 units of energy per discharge (a third of the 9000's).  Several

prototypes are already in circulation and reports indicate they are

very effective against the hostiles.  More information will be given as

needed and available.



UAC will be monitoring all your activities and communications

throughout your mission and will send the drop ship to retrieve you

upon completion.



Good luck Corporal, we're all counting on you.

                                   by

                               Sean Powers

                           Seanpowers@aol.com

                         Kikens@roanoke.infi.net



        This is a help file for the episode I made called Ultimate Wad.

This is to help clarify all things in the game and give you some hints

on where everything is.  First off if you've never played a patch file 

you only need to type in "Doom -file ultimate.wad".  This will load up

the episode and then you just play it like it was episode one.  I 

suggest you print out this file.  If you ever get stuck you can refer 

to it and see either how I screwed up or you screwed up.  There are 

tons of places where you can get stuck in the game but all have ways

out of them.  The miscellaneous stuff should be read because it tells

you what to look for and other stuff you need to know.  You don't need

to read about each individual level, just refer to it when you need to.





Miscellaneous Stuff:



            First of all.  Save the game often.  At least once at the 

            beginning of every level.  You most likely will want to save 

            the game every couple of rooms.  I tried not to put all 

            to many cheep moves in the game but there are a few.

            Plus it is difficult and you die easily when going into

            unexplored territory.



            Second.  The difficulty settings aren't the same as ID's

            Normal is a little tougher than ID's.  If you have played

            all three episodes and beaten them easily you shouldn't 

            have to much trouble.  Easy setting is about as hard as

            ID's but it isn't as much fun.  Some major battles are

            scaled down and aren't as epic as normal.  I haven't

            even attempted to try the most difficult setting.  I put

            a ton of enemies in that will be super difficult to get

            through but it is fun with the codes.



            Third.  Don't try and kill off any Cyber Demons or Spider 

            Bosses.  They usually aren't supposed to be destroyed but

            beaten some other way that you are meant to figure out.

            You can try to kill them if you have enough weapons but

            you don't need to until you get to the last stage.  Near

            the end of level 5 is anther instance where you must 

            destroy a Cyber Demon.



            Fourth.  Candles.  Candles aren't supposed to be decorative.

            They are either clues to secrets, hints, are words written

            out.  Look for them and then look around.



            Fifth.  Getting stuck.  I tried many things in Doom that ID

            wouldn't because some people might get stuck or trapped.  I

            however have made some interesting walkways and complicated

            Sector Tags.  This does let you fall into pits and get trapped

            in places that won't let you out.  To combat this I have

            but in an absurd amount of secret teleports and lifts.  If

            you get trapped more than likely there is some lift to take

            you back up and save you butt.  If you are stupid enough to

            fall of twice you might be out of luck.  Anytime you get to

            something that looks like it could be possibly trapable save

            the game.  If you ever get stuck and can't figure it out

            just type it IDSPISPOPD and walk back up.



            And last, secrets.  I put secrets everywhere.  If you need ammo

            or life just start searching the walls and stuff.  Some secrets have

            candles or darkend sectors in front of them.  Others are different

             textures and some are just walls to click on.  Look for them if

             you are in need and if a wall looks darker than the others, search

             it.  There probly is stuff there.







The Levels:



      E1M1-This level doesn't really have anything you can get trapped in

           or that needs explaining.  There is a giant lift that when

           you go up it once you can't go up it again.  A teleport pad

           does appear right behind it that will let you skip that lift.



      E1M2-The first thing is that this level is a little to big and 

           slowed down on my computer.  It was also my first level and

           done of DEU 5.0 so I wasn't able to line up the textures as

           well as latter in the game.  I also did some really bad and 

           confusing events that I clarified in this text.  The second 

           thing is that there is a Cyber Demon that you encounter.

           You shouldn't have a hard time destroying him.  This is the

           way you will kill many future Bosses.  Second when you start

           to go up a sewer looking stairway, save the game.  There is

           a difficult (but cool looking) pathway.  If you fall off there

           is a lift on each side with a arrow of candles pointing to it.

           Once through that your going to be in a white room.  There

           is a windy pathway. If you fall off there is a teleport pad

           at one end and stairs at the other.  You must cross it, flip 

           a switch, go back, flip and switch, and then go across one

           last time to flip the last switch.  Then while going back

           a section will have lifted up in the middle of the room so you

           can then get to a door.  In that room you must get the blue

           key and then go back the way you came.  Another walkway has

           raised up right across from the door you just cam through.

           Sorry for making that a little complicated.  I didn't put 

           anything else that complicated with so few clues again.  I

           also stopped the narrow passages.  A green marble room is the

           next point of confusion.  If you flip the switches in the

           right order it will work out okay.  If not stuff screws up

           so you have to flip a switch on one of the demon heads.  

           Make sure you have flipped all of the switches that you can.

           That should get you out of it.  In the next room make sure 

           you find the secret.  It'll help you out.  Sorry again about

           this level.  It was my first and It wasn't all that great.

           The plasma rifle is hidden here but It is almost impossible 

           to find.





      E1M3-You finally get the shotgun.  It was harder than you thought

           it would be without one.  I hope it was interesting.

           The only place you might get stuck is in a blue room that 

           continually takes you upward.  If you fall of one of the

           platforms just about every one of them has a lift to take

           you back up. If not just IDSPISPOPD.  The secret level is

           also in this level.  In the psychodelic room there is a star that

           goes up and down.  If you ride that to it's upward position and

           hit the space bar on any wall a door will open up and in there

           is a switch for the secret level.  The secret level is so much 

           fun.  Defenintly try to get there.



      E1M4-This is the one that I had to get a friend to BSP for me

           because it is so large.  There is no possible way to get

           stuck in here.  The BFG is here in probly the coolest 

           secret ever.  The plasma rifle is also hidden here in

           a place that isn't to hard to find, especially if it is

           you second time through it.  Sorry if you get hall of mirrors

           because of the first room's size.  This level is also

           awesome in Deathmatch.



      E1M5-The first thing is the Spider Demon.  On the sides of the

           room are switches that will raise up a great wall that

           will surround him.  On the northern wall is a switch that

           will lower the wall and trap him in.  You can do it.

           You must battle two Cyber Demons near the end if you

            want the BFG.  It isn't really imperative to get and there

            and several BFGs that are easier to get later on.



      E1M6-This is the smallest level not including the last one.  It 

           still is very fun.  The major difficulty is the three way

           battle with all of the bosses.  The trick is to get them to

           attack each other.  To your left and right are power-ups.  

           Get them and then try to get the Barons to hit the Spider

           Demon.  You can then hide behind the Spider.  The Cyber

           Demon will start shooting at you but will always hit the

           Spider.  There is a rocket launcher in the middle that will 

           help you finish off whoever is left.  You can also hide

           behind the switches in that room to protect yourself.  If

           ever the enemies start attacking you instead of each other

           just start sprinting around the circle.  Eventually the will

           hit one another and ignore you.



      E1M7-This one is dark and hard.  There are medical kits everywhere.

           Nothing will really get you trapped.  This one is tough.  Watch

           for a trap when you see a rocket launcher.



      E1M8-If you've come this far don't give up now.  The last level

           is an epic battle.  The first room is hardest but if you

           get through that things aren't easy.  Save the game like

           mad.  I give you a weapon and a ton of ammo for each room.

           You should be able to do it.  The first room you just have

           to make it through once with the enemies dead.  It is hard

           to avoid the missiles but it is very possible.



      E1M9-There isn't really anything that can get you stuck in this 

           level.  It is a fun blast fest with a ton of ammo.  Sorry

           about the Hall of Mirrors effect you get sometimes because

           the room is so fun.





I hope you enjoy my episode.  Please E-Mail me with either questions,

bugs, or just comments.  I spent a lot of time on this level and want

to know if you like it.  Thanks.

Title                   : The Apocalypse Project

Filename                : APOCALYP.WAD

Author                  : Daniel Hornbaker

Email Address           : hornbak1@student.msu.edu



Background              :



You pull back on the throttle and begin your decent.  Below, the Io

military special projects base appears peaceful.  You know otherwise.

High Command lost contact with the secret outpost several weeks ago and

dispatched the spacecruiser STALWART to investigate.  Failing to

establish direct-contact communications, it has become your duty to

journey down to Io and assess the situation.



During your mission briefing, High Command revealed some disturbing

information to you concerning problems with the now defunct UAC bases on

Mars.  H.C. gave no details, mentioning a highly classified project that

"didn't quite work out as expected".  All they would say is that you

should exercise extreme caution when approaching Io, as similiar

research was in progress there (The Apocalypse Project).



As you thumb the retro-thrusters on, you notice a lot of commotion near

the landing pad.  You breathe a sigh of relief, glad that at least

everyone appears to be all right.  Their transmitter is probably down.

You reach for the com link to radio STALWART to send down a tech team . . .



Your shuttlecraft lurches violently.  You drop the com link and grab the

controls, trying in vain to bring the craft back in line.  No use -

you've lost engine control.  Your ship is all ablaze.  You focus all of

your strength and concentration, willing your ship to crash/land near

the landing pad, where help will be quickly available.  With a

ear-splitting cacophany of tearing metal, your shuttle comes to a rest.

You fight to maintain consciousness, moving through the flames and smoke

toward the hatch.  It opens up, letting in the feeble light of a sun

hundreds of millions of miles away. You stumble through.  Coughing

violently, you look up and see . . .



"WHAT IN THE HELL . . .?!"



You fall unconscious.



You awake, only to find yourself alone in a gloomy prison cell.  From

the looks of the decaying bodies around you, the chances of rescue look

slim. However, you didn't get into special forces by depending on others

to solve your problems.  A few minutes later when a guard walks by your

cell, you reach out and grab the poor fool, instantly breaking his neck.

You take his pistol, and begin your fight to freedom . . .



Mission Seques

Mission 2         : You've managed to escape imprisonment, only to

                    discover that the Io base has been completely

                    overrun by the enemy.  And where are the thousands

                    of personnel who were stationed here?



Mission 3         : You've routed the enemy, and they've retreated into

                    the underground waste disposal system. However, you

                    can find no trace, dead or otherwise, of the men and

                    women who were stationed on Io.  Alone, and without

                    transport or communications, you're only chance to

                    make it off this rock anytime soon is to give chase

                    to the demons, in hopes of locating the missing Io

                    personnel.



Mission 4         : You've battled it out with the forces of evil down

                    in the treacherous waste disposal system beneath the

                    Io base, and kicked their collective asses.  But

                    you've only won a small victory - and the bad guys

                    are looking to even the score.  As you walk through

                    the pressure door and emerge from the sewers, you

                    find yourself in a large underground cavern.

                    Exhausted and wounded, you gather your courage and

                    determination and prepare to face your toughest

                    challenge yet.  If you are to have any hope of

                    surviving this ordeal, you must take the greatest

                    leap of your life - and plunge into THE ABYSS.



Mission 5         : You have arrived at the doorstep to hell, and the

                    mat does not say "Welcome".  You are between

                    dimensions, no longer in your own universe, but not

                    yet in that evil place.  The gateway to hell is just

                    around the corner, but first, you must defeat the

                    maze.  Who would have thought hell would be this

                    hard to get into?



Mission 6         : Finally - you've reached your destination: HELL. You

                    drop through the dimensional gate and find yourself

                    on a mountain.  The air is hot and humid, the sky

                    filled with a thick blood-red smoke.  You scramble

                    up the hot, rocky slope to the crest of the

                    mountain.  And you see it - the great Palace of Hell

                    - and you lose all hope.  Amassed at its gates is

                    the largest army you have ever seen assembled:

                    thousands of imps, demons, and barons . . . you'll

                    never defeat them all.  Looks like all your effort

                    has been for naught . . . The rock beneath your feet

                    shifts as a temor rattles the mountain.  The ground

                    crumbles beneath you, and you slide down the

                    mountainside. With a bone-shaking THUMP, you land in

                    a small crevice in the mountainside, just missing a

                    deadly landing on a brown stub.  Slowly, you pick

                    yourself up.  Doesn't appear to be anything broken .

                    . . say, what's that behind that tree??



Mission 7         : You've learned the fate of the personnel from Io,

                    and now it's no longer a matter of survival - it's a

                    matter of revenge.  But before you can seek out the

                    pit boss of this particular hell, you have to find

                    some way of sealing the front gate to prevent his

                    vast army of darkness from coming to his aide.



Mission 8         : You're almost there - you can feel it in your bones.

                    Ahead is the antechamber to the throne room, where

                    the demon has stockpiled his treasures. You wonder -

                    what kind of hideous being would be trusted to

                    defend the WAGES OF SIN??



Mission 9         : You climb the stairs for what seems an eternity.

                    Finally, a door appears up ahead. You wonder what

                    kind of abomination you'll find on the other side...

                          computer to waste my time building missions

                          for DOOM!, and whose advice was of great help.

                          But seriously:

                          Two HOM's in mission 2

                          It is possible to trap yourself in mission 3



                          Many, many bad wall textures in mission 4, due

                          to oversized sectors.  However, most of these

                          are concealed by the fact that you can't reach

                          the walls.  They are surrounded by a river of

                          lava, and to keep people from killing

                          themselves in long, treacherous falls into the

                          lava, I have inserted several impassable lines

                          (conveniently, these lines also conceal 99% of

                          the bad walls).  There are still bad walls (I

                          believe the effect has been dubbed the "veil"

                          effect), and only one or two HOM's.  Overall,

                          I do not think it affects play much.  But, if

                          you are one of those types who can't stand

                          HOM's or bad walls, then I advise not playing

                          this wad.



                          One HOM in mission 5, plus a door that takes a few

                          tries to open.



                          One HOM in mission 8

Episode Info (replaces `Knee Deep In the Dead')

-----------------------------------------------



        Well, this is a very impressive episode including 9 _excellent_

levels.  All the levels in this episode were created by myself, excluding

e1m5, which was designed by a friend.  We feel that any DOOM fanatic will

enjoy this episode and will be completely impressed by the work put into it.

        Most levels on the Internet suck.  It's a fact, but these 9 levels do 

not suck.  id Software, if they ever saw this, would most likely want to know

where the two of us were when they were designing the original DOOM levels.  

It's taken roughly a year to design the levels, in fact...I never planned to

have any nice levels...much less a whole episode.  It seems that after I 

figured out how to use DEU that level making just sorda seemed fun, so I 

designed levels like mad.  ...but, I am a perfectionist (in most respects) and

therefore I insisted that the levels I designed were no less greater than 

those in the actual game.  I felt that if they could make complex levels, then

so can I...and I did :)  Most of the levels in here have been zipped and 

distributed via local BBS, but even those were completely checked and re-

checked for bugs/parts I found to be lacking "id" quality.  So, what you have

here is pure DOOM art.  ...not to mention my last DOOM work that will ever be.

I am _tired_ of making levels.  My creativity is draining (I also want to 

maintain a life :), etc., so I have decided to stop while I'm ahead. 

        So, play this all the way through...it is arranged as the original

DOOM, smaller/easier levels first which work up in size/difficulty.  You will

see the quality, and you may also wonder how I kept my sanity...so, have a 

blast!



        -The LMP's I included are funny.  FAVA.LMP is a deathmatch between two

of my friends (I usually let my friend play...deathmatch is getting old).  The

person who made E1M5 is in the foreground, a guy named George (who happens to 

have a Pentium 100...grrr) is in the background.  Watch player 1 get blasted 

out a window ---> window shots are so damn funny :)  CRAP115.LMP is a window

demonstration of E1M7.  Yup, you guessed it...just myself and a friend flying

through windows...from high up...with the help of some rockets :)  Watch if

you want a good laugh :)  These are for version 1.9 of DOOM and require 

FAVA.WAD to be loaded at the commandline.



Miscallany

----------

        

        Just so you know, this episode was originally distributed as         

01MADNESS.ZIP (#1 on BBS's), but I changed a couple graphics and things that

I found annoying (things that no one else would even notice...) in the levels.

FYI, I changed COMPSTA1 and something on the status bar during deathmatch.  

So, to see what I did, flip deathmatch mode on and gock at the status bar...

you will see something remotely funny.  It looks "right" though.  I didn't 

just put shit in anywhere, you know that's not my style, I took time to make

the letters look authentic.

        - The editor of choice has been DEU521GC, until I found a DEU port

          dubbed DETH, which is even better :)  E1M5 was made with the 

          shareware version of DEEP.  BSP1.2x was used for nodes on everything

          except E1M3 and E1M5.  BSP1.2x has a bug and wouldn't build E1M3, 

          so it was nodes built with DEEPBSP.  Obviously E1M5 was done with

          DEEPBSP.  My levels were all done on an Am486DX2 80 with 5Mb of

          RAM, E1M5 was done on a 386DX 40 with 4Mb without a math-co (yuck)!!

        - Graphics editing was done with New WAD Tools.  To replace the end

          message I used the program TED (yes, I know the top line gets cut,

          but at this point I don't really care...).



E1M5 was designed by Ben Gates (no relation to that rich guy...) of Hermon, Me 

and all others by Sean Birkel of Bangor, Me.  ...summer's almost over .  Register DOOM if you haven't already, the guys at id deserve the money 

for making the greatest game ever!  ...I can't wait till Quake is released...

I saw the preview gifs...and, wow!!



Other stuff

-----------



        Metallica, Ozzy Osbourne, Jimi Hendrix, and Cringe (kick-ass local 

band) have been the music of choice to help us through the long hours of 

level making.  ...look for Cringe in the near future, they've got the 

potential for something great...the guitarist rules!



Oh, yeah...

-----------



        I might as well tell you the story behind the title, "The Madness of

Mergatroid."  I had this wacky science teacher a few years back and he's 

become something of a legend around here...I can just picture him saying 

something corny like, "heavens to mergatroid."  

        That's old news though...why did I call it Fava Beans?  Jerky Boys.

The Jerky Boys make me laugh.  



BYE!

----



        I'm freeeeeee!!!!!!!!!  My DOOM levels are DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No more levels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Enjoy!!



Update

------



        I was fooling around with DETH again, and I happened to make a cool 

area...will I finish the level??  Nah, even though it was one of the best 

things I've designed to date...But, I hate DOOM, I hate making DOOM levels, so

I won't finish this...it will just drift on my hard drive 'till I nuke it :)

        

        ---> If you must know what that level looks like, send me mail and

tell me to finish it.  I won't ever do it, but I might upload what I have 

(you'll like it...we're talking nothing like what's in this episode).



Buh-Bye!

--------



        "So I'll see you tomorrow with my tools, fuckface!"  -Jerky Boys



Oh yeah, call this BBS...it has 11 CD-ROM's online or something.  Many files.

Many message areas.  My levels.  Mucho DOOM stuff.  It be cool.

        

==============================================================================

        Mission Control BBS: (207)947-3105  more nodes comming soon!

                  -Give 'em a try, and tell him Sean sent ya!

==============================================================================



Oh yeah, E-mail me if you want to play deathmatch :)  

        -Keep these in mind:  I hate/won't play any DOOM2 levels (except H18)!

                              I'll play Hangar or Phoboe's Lab anytime!!



FYI

---



Hangar18 (E1M2) is a very good deathmatch level (use the DOOM2 version in 

18HANGAR.ZIP...I've made changes since then that may not be as good for 

deathmatch as it was originally...).



BYE!!!!
