Misc. Author Info       : Member of the Black Star Coven. We Design
                         Good Levels...
                         We also like to play good levels, so if your stuff
                         is good, mail me...  You may even get accepted for
                         membership.., who knows? Its not my call, though.

                         I would greatly appreciate feedback on:
                         ammo/health: there's more than I need but I know
                         where everything is.
                         difficulty: too easy/hard
                         how much you loved it/hated it.
                         SO SEND ME MAIL

                         I used to put a long list of all the wads I ever made
                         Including a description, but that got awfully long so
                         I'm just going to describe my newer (and better)
                         ones.
                         Bad Stuff (by my standards, these are still better than
                         alot):
                         darker.zip
                         3_pack1.zip(Contains three levels, obviously).
                         ds-61-3.zip(Contains seven levels.)
                         Skull.zip
                         Good stuff:
                         quikisgd.zip and quikisg2.zip; Short kick ass wads.
                         Nosun*.zip; Some of my best ever. Two long, one mid,
                         and one short -length levels out so far. Get 'em now!
                         Shrthard.zip; should be out by now; short real hard kick ass
                         wads.
                         >dk.zip: dk.wad, a high quality fortress level<
                         !This last zip was postponed. I get an error about
                         an unknown thing class before the level starts.
                         According to Dck, there are no unknown things.
                         If anyone knows how to solve this problem, Help
                         is _Much_ appreciated.

                         Soon to come:
                         Work in The Black Star Covens The Talosian Incident
                         Web Page: Http://www.geocities.com/timesquare/8666/bscoven.html
                         (Maybe) Other Nosuns
                         QUAKE!!!!
                         Probably some other stuff.

                                       THE BEST DOOM2 WADS:
                                       Darkcvnt.wad. By keith phipps (I think thats his name)
                                       Cabal*.wad By Sverre Kvernmo


Description             : This is the first of a series of .wads I am making.
                         I'm going to divide this into three parts:

Changes since last version: Not much by the way of monsters. Mainly I got rid of
                         all the textures that I didn't feel fit, especially
                         the bronze textures... if you liked it better the old
                         way, mail me and I'll upload a zip with both for
                         people to compare.

Story                   : 2090: some research station orbiting earth.
                         "Um, professer," says a slave.
                         "What," snarls a half-man half-ape that couldn't
                         have passed grade school.
                         "The heat on earth is gradually decreasing. Less
                         light is coming this way each day. It appears
                         the sun is going out."
                         "That's impossible!" The professer kicks the slave.
                         "Look for yourself!" Says the slave a little to
                         quickly.
                         "You know I can't read!" The slave recieves another
                         kick.
                         Another slave somewhere down the corridor rolls
                         his eyes. The professer may have noticed yet is
                         already shouting into his comlink to get someone
                         "reputable" who _can_ read.

                         The nextday, same place.
                         "Welcome, Doctor appleberry." Says the apeman.
                         What a stupid name, thinks the slave, whose name
                         was recently changed to "shithead" by the professer.
                         "Read this," says shithead.
                         "Yes, he's right."

                         Several weeks later, you, a prisoner of war, get
                         called in your cell somewhere in one of the less
                         habitible places on earth. (Pollution has destroyed
                         nearly half the landcovered portion of the world,
                         with North America a cesspool of burning waste. The
                         ozone layer is so thin, 3 weeks of exposure
                         throughout your life would kill you.)
                         "You're going on a mission, you worthless piece of
                         shit. You better not fail me this time. Three strikes
                         and you're out."
                         You remember failing your first two impossible
                         missions and barely escaping with your life.
                         "Go to room 3a960236548079b.5 for briefing at 3:00"
                         (97% of earths population is now in prison.)

                         At 3:00 you wander down the long hall way towards
                         the room . "3a960236548079b.44, .46, .48, here we
                         are." You say to yourself. One stray step and you
                         would be toast: the walls are adorned with automatic
                         plasma cannons and other weapons trained on your
                         every move. You sigh and enter the room.
                         "Hello, sit down."
                         "Enough pleasantries. What mission have you got to
                         kill me off this time?"
                         "A mission to the sun. A few weeks ago we found out
                         that the sun is giving off less and less heat so
                         through the wonders of modern technology we sent
                         some spies in" says the hitler lookalike. "They
                         found some sort of alien space station that was
                         somehow poisoning our sun. Once it burns out they
                         know there will be no resistence from us, and they
                         can take our solar systems resources for free."
                         "Wait a minute," you say. "I know we can get to the
                         sun, and build materials strong enough to resist
                         its heat, but its gravity's too strong. How did
                         you get this information. You can't even transmit
                         off it, let alone fly a ship off."
                         "Yes, but the aliens have much more advanced tech-
                         nology than us. They snuck on a saucer headed away
                         from us, and transmitted something off the ship.
                         Yet the aliens found them immediately thereafter
                         and, we believe, killed them.
                         "Your ship will be on automatic pilot until you are
                         too close to get away from the sun. There you will
                         get on a saucer headed for their home planet. Then
                         you will destroy their society from the inside out."
                         "WHAT! YOU'RE CRAZY!" you shout.
                         "We can kill you right here if you'd prefer."


Layout                  : Large level. You start in some smaller hallways of
                         the space station, find the blue and red keys and
                         then jump out into a huge hallway where an old
                         service train used to run. you follow its path over
                         to some computer terminals. Then out to the surface
                         of the sun (YES, I know it wouldn't have walls but
                         how else was I supposed to do it.)
        |                You get the yellow key and back to the beginning
  |\    |    /           where you exit the space station and into a docking
  |  \  |  /             bay where you get on a ship.
  |    \|/               I made special effort to make this a level with a
  |    /|\               view. By that I mean not only great textures where
  |  /  |  \             you are but also views into cool rooms that you can't
  |/    |    \           get to (in most cases).
        |                There are four secrets: two are hidden doors and two
                         must be run to (over ledges etc.) One is only visible
                         on the map (not marked), one contains an automap.
                         And oh, yes, those marbfac4 posts at the beginning
                         (for those of you who aren't level designers, the
                         faces with horns on them) are switches.
                         Anywhere outside hurts, whether you're in lava or
                         not. Get a suit or an invulnerability before you go
                         outside.




Additional Credits to   : Patrick Martin for testing and constructive criticism.
                         Check out his "Blakgate.wad"
                         It kicks ass.

                         Ben Morris for dck3.61
                         It kicks ass! I designed two maps in one week that
                         together total over 500 sectors, all thanks to his
                         editor.

                         All the good wads I ever played for giving me inspiration.
                         (Especially those mentioned above.)

                         John Bye for boosting my ego a little and letting
                         me into the Black Star Coven. Check out the
                         homepage at the top (or close). Mail john and become
                         a beta tester and you get to play a bunch of mine and
                         Many other Top-Quality wad designers before anyone else.
                         Also, play johns cygnusiv.zip.
                         He's at [email protected]

                         Sverre Andre Kvernmo for designing the best levels
                         ever (cabal and others, some in the master levels).
                         He's also a pretty cool guy.
                         "Eternal Doom II just ain't the same without him."
                         Be sure to mail him (if you play his levels) and tell him
                         how good a level designer he is.

                         My dad for fixing (and breaking) the computer.
                         And testing my levels on skill 3.

                         Whoever made Zennode.

                         And a big Thank-You-Very-Fucking-Much to anyone who
                         emailed me and told me my wads kick ass (actually,
                         no ones ever mailed me to tell me other wise, so
                         play this wad and agree and mail me.)
                         It pisses me off to see all those mid-quality wads
                         (which will remain nameless, except for Raven.wad.
                         Dumb Fucker's now at Id, and his stuff is _UGH_).
                         get so much attention cause of their distribution.
                         Me and a million others, such as Patrick Martin or
                         Michael Krause or others (These guys get mentioned
                         cause they're cool) are much better level designers...
                         Oh well..,

PS: IF YOU STILL USE THE KEYBOARD; MAKE THE SWITCH (I RECENTLY DID).
YOU'LL KICK ASS TWICE AS MUCH AS BEFORE!
