Title                   : DNA technology laboratory wad for Doom ][
Filename                : DNA_TECH.WAD

Misc. Author Info       : If you read this section on my last wad (HVYFGHT
                         wad), you will find that I don't actually exist.
                         Well, I still don't exist. Feedback is very much
                         appreciated. Was it too hard, too easy?. I myself
                         have playtested it many times and kept making it
                         harder by removing ammo and health and adding more
                         bad guys. I think it is finally hard enough to make
                         it entertaining, but I don't really know for sure,
                         so I need email on this one.
Level Info              : Here is a level based on an, admittedly often used
                         idea, that of mutatory genetic experiments result-
                         ing in the production of hideous monsters who get
                         loose. Well, this level has something that few of
                         those other ones have, its own graphics, made spec-
                         ifically with the concept in mind. You see, the
                         graphics were made when I had the idea of giving
                         the level the "genetic experiment" theme. After
                         making the graphics, I then made the level (not the
                         other way around). So each of the graphic elements
                         was made with a specific purpose in mind, with the
                         room that it was supposed to go into already in my
                         head. The result is a level made to fit the graphics
                         not vice versa. This results in a better looking
                         level. Each wall in DCK was placed with the already
                         made graphic expecting to be set upon it. There  are
                         five secrets in the game, see if you can get them all.
                         So play the level (using the batch file provided),
                         shoot the bad guys, and email me.
                         P.S. I believe this is my 24th level (I think it is
                         the 10th for Doom ][).
                         P.S.S. The idea for some of the textures comes from
                         some screen shots I've seen from the upcoming game
                         TekWar.

* Construction *

Base                    : New level from scratch
Build Time              : No idea
Editor(s) used          : DCK 22 (despite a minor sector-join bug) and
                         Wintex 34 (for the graphics)
Known Bugs              : Hate to say this, but yes, there are two places
                         in the open areas where there are lines that don't
                         exist in the level. This results in an invisible
                         walls and an invisible floor. These areas do not
                         exist in the editor and I don't know where they
                         come from, perhaps from the node builder (BSP 1.2x).
                         Sorry about this, but I don't know how to get rid of
                         something that isn't there in the editor yet appears
                         when you play the level. I have completed the level
                         by working around these problems, so it should not
                         cause too much of a problem. Perhaps the cure is to
                         run it through another node builder. I wanted to
                         post this anyway because I really liked the job I
                         did on the graphics and didn't feel like redoing
                         the level all over again because of this.
