* Play Information *

Game : Doom 2
Map # : MAP01-32
Single Player : Designed for
Cooperative 2-4 Player : Player starts only
Deathmatch 2-4 Player : Player starts only
Other game styles : None
Difficulty Settings : Yes

* Construction *

Base : New from scratch
Build Time : One year
Editor(s) used : Too many to list
Known Bugs : In ZDoom 2.1.7, it is possible to get stuck in
MAP03: Mineopoly after raising the rock stairs,
as the engine does not properly handle the map's
voodoo doll script, rendering the switch to lower
the stairs inaccessible. This does not occur in
any other source port.

MAP28: Token Arch-Vile contains HOMs in the
building with the bridge when viewed in OpenGL
rendering modes. These are mandatory, as fixing
them would otherwise ruin the bridge effect in
software renderers. It also features no music
whatsoever, but this was intentional; it was a
decision on the author's part, and is not an
oversight.

Several maps also contain sky transfer specials,
introduced by the port Marine's Best Friend,
which do not work in Boom; at the time they were
designed, PrBoom and its brethren allowed sky
transfers under Boom compatibility. This is
merely a cosmetic issue, though, and does not
affect gameplay. Apart from this, there are no
other incompatibilities.
May Not Run With... : Doom2.exe, or any port that isn't
Boom-compatible

Additional Credits and Special Thanks
from lupinx-Kassman : Thanks to Rick Clark for the pwrcore.wad prefab used
in MAP31 "Disarming the Mechanism". The text file for
this prefab has been appended to the end of this file.
Thanks to Paul Corfiatis for being a good sport
with the overenthusiastic teenage version of myself
during our email correspondance back then. He playtested
the map and various aspects like the height of the ourdoor
areas near the center of the map, the gradient light column
around sector 662, and the row of colorful torches near the
end of the map were his ideas. Thanks to Fredrik Johansson
whose style was a large influence on me back then. Several of
the ceiling lights used throughout the map are like those in his
Vrack series of maps. Thanks to Johnatone for the server rack wire detailing
in secret sector 1445. Its based on the detailing of secret sector 186
from his "Doom: A Megawad in Two Weeks" MAP14 "The Containers". Thanks to
The Green Herring who convinced me make a serious plot for the
map as opposed to the weird self-referential story it originally
had, and for the easter eggs referencing it and the map in
his MAP15 "Clash of Galaxies". And thanks to Dutch Devil and the
rest of the playtesters who gave me advice on improving the map.
The small amount of resources I added for MAP31 are described
individually in detail under the "Community Chest 3 MAP31"
sections in OldResourceCredits.txt of LKTex.
