Description : This is a map I made after playing a Helm's Deep map for
Counter-Strike. As far as looks go, I based on pretty much
entirely on the CS map (which was pretty accurate as far as
I know). In terms of gameplay, don't expect the marines to
kill everything for you, you still have a lot of killing to
do yourself. Also, the level will slow down at a few points,
so be warned. If you have a lower end machine it may beg
for mercy if you try and play this.
Notes/Credits : The jerk stores in #doom for playtesting and stuff, Randy for
ZDoom, id for Doom, etc etc. Rimmer improved my brick texture
a bunch and Ling made some useful scripting suggestions.
The new textures are based off one from a texture pack called
deConstruct by stecki which you can download (the Doom version
anyway) here:

You need ZDoom 2.0 to run this. Not sure of the oldest version
that'll run it, so just get the latest one from
http://zdoom.org

Though it's a 2meg ogg file, so I decided for the
sake of our 56k friends to put it in another file.
Download helmsmus.zip which should be in the same
directory as this file.
* Construction *
Base : Scratch
Editor(s) used : WadAuthor, Warm, Wintex, PSP, various text editors
Build time : Uhh, like a week or two.
Known Bugs : Don't kill the green demon, though it's not possible
without a projectile weapon which you won't have at
that point. Like I said, the map will slow down at a
few points. I've done my best to make it playable most
of the time, but your results will vary.
Fixes (7/19/03) : Corrected the slope things which were put in at a time
when they were incorrectly implimented in ZDoom. Aligned
a texture or two and added a slient soundseq for a moving
ceiling. Also fixed a few text file errors and updated
some info (zdoom url for instance).
