Misc. Author Info       : I was the project leader of Interception
                         and co-leader of Interception II.
                         One other release of mine -- which was never completed
                         -- was Moon Escape!:
                         https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/63199/


Description             : A collection of 33 new levels for Doom II, ranging
                         from sprawling shootouts to claustrophobic challenge
                         maps.

                         Works in any Doom engine. You can even run it on DOS!
                         Some of the maps get pretty slow on a real DOS machine
                         though...

                         Designed for both single player and cooperative modes.

                         There's one brand new enemy, and a new final boss,
                         but otherwise the gameplay is just like Classic Doom.

                         I created all of the maps, and all of the music tracks
                         were written by Dial-up for Murder --
                         with a few exceptions noted below.

                         I've spent about 5 years making this wad, working
                         on and off to finish it. I've even released a few
                         wads between E1/E2 and E5/E6. Here's a rough timeline
                         of each episode's release:

                           - E1 & E2 - 2017
                           - E3 - 2018
                           - E4 - 2021
                           - E5 & E6 - 2022

           THE STORY SO FAR...

               You are the premier marine scientist working on the UAC's
             baddest tech yet: inter-planetary transport. You're up on Mars,
             making sure the new machines don't turn people into giblets.

               A few lost volunteers later and you've finally perfected your
             invention. On the way to power on the machine you start to feel
             an uneasy presence nearby...


           TOOLS USED

             cc4-tex.wad was used as a resource pack. I used
             Ultimate Doom Builder, GZDoom Builder, Doom Builder 2,
             to create all of the maps, SLADE 3.2.0 to compile the wad,
             and paint.net to create a large portion of the graphics.
             The status bar was created by galileo31dos01 using
             SlumpED v0.7 (for testing), Paint, Paint.net v4.0.21.

(Version 1.1)
- MAP02: Four teleporters (lines 1104-1107) were missing their tags. Fixed.
- MAP03: One deathmatch start (thing 232) was inside ?of a barre?l. Moved it out.
- MAP04: Fixed a bug where you could get stuck between some rocks in the
 courtyard where the red key is.
- MAP18: Reworked the ending area to avoid a visplane overflow crash.
 Made some tiny edits to the start of the map, and added a bit of tucked away
 ammo and health near the end.
- MAP23: Arch-Viles can boost you out of some of the windows leading? to a
 soft-lock. I added teleporter pads outside of the windows in case a player
 falls out.?

 out into the ocean. Soft-locked. I added an impassable line behind the ending
 structure to catch the player.?

 shorter than player height. Different ports had different responses? to this:
 Vanilla doom lets? you walk out like nothing happened. GZDoom crouches the
 player so that they can leave. In ?ZDaemon, players got stuck, leading to a
 soft-lock. I moved the teleporter target out of the wall.
- MAP28: Restructured the target pad to remove a soft-lock. Added extra sound
 blocking linedefs before the big drop into the spiderdemon arena.
- MAP29?: Added extra decorations and teleporter pads to fix soft?-locks?.?
