================================================================ Title : TreeDM1.WAD Author : Greg Lewis (Tree) Email Address : gregl@umich.edu Misc. Author Info : An avid Doomer since 12/10/93 (The Day), now working with a cool new P90 (Yay!) at home and the 386/40 (Yuck!) at school. A sophomore at U of Michigan, currently studying CS. I haven't made a deathmatch WAD yet, so I had to try my hand at it! Description : A deathmatch designed with fun and balance in mind. The feeling of this level is fairly open, just a few largish rooms and some interconnecting passageways. It's not intended to be a frag-fest, but more of a fair competition. (Average life span is greater than 5 seconds... :) Everyone has a weapon nearby when they start, generally within 10 or 20 feet. All players start with 200% health, to make the battles a little longer lasting. The deathmatch spots are designed to eliminate unfair "start-up frags". Every weapon is available, although it is more and more difficult to get to the more powerful weapons. There are some weapons sitting in cages, with a switch next to 'em; hit the switch to give access to that weapon elsewhere in the level. A quick rundown: Rocket launcher: switch and weapon itself are in the arch-room. Plasma: has two triggers, the switch and walking on one of the ledges. BFG: The easiest weapon to get, but you pay if you do. Or, go the hard way (no secrets involved, but still a long ways to get there), find the BFG-in-a-cage, and get it that way. You'll be off free as a bird. Super Shotgun: (Doom ][) Check the green room. It's a very good idea to play this level with the alt-death rules. The exit switch is clearly marked, non-coop, and can't be hit accidentally. Additional Credits to : The developers of Doom, DEU, and BSP.
