It's not a deathmatch level but a normal one player/cooperative one. þ This level is approximately two and a half times bigger than DoomsDay.wad. þ This is a small level full of monsters. It's not like my previous levels, in this one you'll be submerged by monsters; you will not get any break and your guns are going to become overheated. You won't loose a lot of time searching the monsters... þ No BFG9000, no plasma gun Additional Credits to : þ ID Software, Brendon J Wyber, Rapha‰l Quinet, Colin Reed.

Andre Christen told me that I had to cut it down a lot and he showed me exactely what I had to change. The final result is the level on which two hundred people played at DoomsDay'95. But I kept the old version because I thought it would be quite a good normal level. I did cut down so many things that it would have been a shame not to keep the old version. þ Here is a chart which shows the differences between normal and deathmatch level creating. ³ One Player ³ Deathmatch ³ ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÅÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÅÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ´ Size ³þNo restriction. ³þFor 4 players, 40kb (fighting ³ ³þWith normal editors the ³ area) is the upper limit of a ³ ³ memory limit is of app. ³ PWAD. ³ ³ 170k for the map. ³þFor 2 players, 25kb (fighting ³ ³ ³ area) is the upper limit of a ³ ³ ³ PWAD. ³ ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÅÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÅÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ´ Rooms ³þNo restriction apart: ³þVery little rooms, with a few ³ Structure ³ 1)Hall of Mirror ³ places where the player can ³ ³ 2)Computer MHZ ³ protect himself from the other ³ ³þIn addition of the ³ player. ³ ³ difficulty in outliving ³þA main corridor that links all ³ ³ all the monsters, you ³ the rooms together. ³ ³ may add the difficulty ³þThe structure should be ³ ³ in getting out of a ³ extremely simple so that the ³ ³ real maze. ³ players have the level map in ³ ³ ³ mind. ³ ³ ³þPlaces where corridors go in ³ ³ ³ 3 different ways (ÄÁÄ) become ³ ³ ³ very interesting. ³ ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÅÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÅÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ´ Taglines ³þUse a lot of sector tags³þUse as less as possible taglines³ ³ because it should give ³ (raising stairs, mooving things,³ ³ the level a lot more ³ brightness go to zero...) ³ ³ interest. ³ because it disturbs a lot the ³ ³ ³ players and they should only ³ ³ ³ think at where the other players³ ³ ³ are and how to trap them. ³ ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÅÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÅÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ´ Textures ³þNo restriction.
