Misc. Author Info       : Also works with wolf3d, RPG Maker 2003 and, by

                         as well.

Description             : A 11-map Vanilla Dehacked mapset loosely inspired
                         by the 1995 Cabal series, originally created for
                         NaNoWADMo 2022.

                         After a humiliating defeat, your supervisor saw
                         it fit to demote you from a cyberdemon to a mere
                         human, so that you can learn to maximize your
                         combat potential instead of squandering your
                         superior firepower. But there's no force in hell
                         that could ever make you part with your beloved
                         weapon...

                         This mod contains numerous gameplay changes. If
                         you don't want to spoil the surprise, quit
                         reading now and start playing! If you need to
                         know more, here's some more detail.


                         New weapons:

                         1. Empty rocket launcher
                         Just because you're out of ammo doesn't mean you
                         have to part with it. Deals triple melee damage
                         with each swing.

                         2. Rocket launcher
                         Not a new weapon... except for the weapon slot.
                         Don't worry, you'll get used to it... to the
                         point where you'll start accidentally switching
                         to the pistol instead of the rocket launcher in
                         the next wad you play. You have been warned.

                         3. Hunting rifle
                         The perfect weapon for instantly delivering a
                         concentrated burst of damage to a distant target.
                         Pretty much two regular shotguns glued together,
                         as fast as a singular one.

                         5. Gatzooka
                         An instrument of pure joy, created by the mighty
                         Dukes of Detonation. nearly four times as fast as
                         your rocket launcher, but needs to cool down
                         after firing.

                         6. Plasma guns
                         The new plasma gun is twice as ammo efficient and
                         easy to wield one-handed! So why limit yourself
                         to just one?


                         New enemies:

                         Gray Soul
                         A shadow of its former self, with slower reaction
                         time and frail enough to be obliterated by a
                         single imp farting in its general direction.
                         Still perfectly capable of ruining your day, but
                         a whole lot more fun to fight. Also capable of
                         squeezing through narrow gaps.

                         Blueblood
                         The good old door with health... almost. Their
                         lightning fast projectiles are guaranteed to
                         keep you from falling asleep mid-fight.

                         Super Shotgunner
                         Every bit as squishy as a regular shotgunner,
                         and takes longer to aim, so you have no excuse
                         for getting shot by this guy. If you do end up
                         in the line of fire, they'll hurt you thrice as
                         hard as a regular shotgunner. Now you're on the
                         receiving end of the Super Shotgun's shrapnel
                         multiplying magic!

                         Red Soul
                         Still not too bulky, but considerably harder to
                         blow away in one hit. This one's faster and
                         spits fireballs, but most importantly, it also
                         explodes upon death. Try to make the best of it!

                         Rocket Zombie
                         The most durable zombie of them all at 100 hp.
                         Also slightly smarter than an average zombie with
                         a rocket launcher... but every bit as vulnerable
                         to explosions.

                         Plasma Zombie
                         This one can mow you down fairly fast if you get
                         distracted by a pinky demon stepping on your toes
                         but is actually the frailest of all hominids.
                         Just a zombieman who lucked out and found a
                         better gun. Now, here's something real fun about
                         the rocket and plasma zombies... they both drop
                         a whole backpack of ammo when killed. Which, in
                         this case, also includes five rockets. Fun times.

                         Zombie Tank
                         1500 health, heavy machine gun and no chance to
                         stun it. All in all, more devious than a spider
                         mastermind... but a lot less resistant to
                         explosives.

                         Stealth Arch-Vile
                         Spectres are so overdone. Here's something more
                         fun! Thankfully, they're not much more durable
                         than an average zombie, so it's not a big deal
                         that they can resurrect each other... right?

                         Duke of Detonation
                         Time to get serious. Blast reistance, 2000 health
                         and rockets fired at a chaingun pace is enough to
                         keep things fun, but they can also spice things
                         up with homing missiles when the mood strikes
                         them. One-shot them with BFG at your own peril.

                         Stone Imp
                         Technically only as durable as a Hell Knight, but
                         good luck landing all your shots! Faster than a
                         regular imp, doesn't flinch, throws deadlier
                         projectiles and reacts slightly faster as well.

                         Emperor of Erasure
                         Makes up for the lack of blast resistance with
                         24 000 health. If you think that's excessive,
                         wait until you see his weapon of choice.


                         Similar to Three Is A Crowd, I was given a number
                         of creative challenges to spur my level-making
                         creativity with. See if you can identify them
                         all while playing!

                         Challenge 1:
                         Have a level or a section of a level themed
                         around the concept: Wrong Projectiles.

                         Challenge 2:
                         Play around with one of the more arbitrary things
                         that vanilla Doom hardcodes.

                         Challenge 3:
                         Include a reference to some other video game!

                         Challenge 4:
                         Include something that is reminiscent of a clock!

                         Challenge 5:
                         Include something reminiscent of outer space.

                         Challenge 6:
                         Include a puzzle based on differently colored
                         textures. (done twice)

                         Challenge 7:
                         Evoke the feeling of a zoo!

                         Challenge 8:
                         Make a ridiculous number of keys available!

                         Challenge 9:
                         Include some innocent-looking object that is actually deadly!

                         Challenge 10:
                         Create some kind of archvile archive.
