ANARCTICA a.k.a. ANTARCTICA.MAP a brief overview and help file. 9/9/96 TITLE: ANARCTICA.map AUTHOR: PAUL "TALON" JURY EMAIL: artworks@epix.net MISC.AUTHOR INFO: What's to say...I mean after 23 days of near constant frustration in the "jeeeeez" I gotta know how that works" dept. And with tons of thanks to Tyler Matthews, Tempest[although he is a little pissed at me for dumping a 14mb file onto his server....sorry again], 3D Realms for this incredible engine, and of course my wife and daughter who, for some reason, couldn't keep her hands off of my keyboard. Everyone of them helped in their own little way. Ty and tempest in their tutorials and my family for not "seeing me" for nearly a month. DESCRIPTION: Anarctica.map[Antarctica] can only be described as a twist to The Thing, Alien, and some of those T&A "b" movies ie. Texas Chainsaw etc... The idea was to give the player a sense of absolute isolation. The story takes place in an Antarctic Sub station where, seemingly overnight the installations crew "disappeared". With the exception of one person; you. Find out what has taken place and fight your way out. This map was created with an attention to detail, both physical and logical. If you get in a bind think of the bases construction and layout. Remember that there were others with you the night before. What did they do before you awoke from that deep sleep? HAVE A BLAST! NOTE: ADULT MATERIAL IN FORM OF BABES IS ENCLOSED IN TILES014,015.ART SOME TILES HAVE NOT BEEN USED IN THIS LEVEL. THEY WILL BE IN THE NEXT FEW. CONSIDER THIS LEVEL A BETA...ANY CHANGES NEEDED PLEASE EMAIL ME AT ARTWORKS@EPIX.NET ADDITIONAL CREDITS: To Denise Krolczyk who watched me bang my head on the monitor more than once as I tried to get that "right feel" to the atmosphere. This means I couldn't get the sound or shading quite the way I wanted it. She was there to keep me going and suggest a few things as well as play test. Thanks kid. EPISODE AND LEVEL#: E1L1 SINGLE PLAYER: MOST POSITIVELY DUKE MATCH: NO! TOO MANY ALREADY COOP PLAY: SURE. MAYBE THAT MIGHT TURN TO DUKEMATCH.....HMMMMM DIFFICULTY SETTINGS: NOT IMPLEMENTED YET!!! CONSTRUCTION: BUILD ENGINE 23 DAYS AND TWENTY THOUSAND GALLONS OF CAFFIENE SATURATED COFFEE! EDITART FOR THE NEW TEXTURES AND JEM-TILES FOR THE OTHER STUFF COREL PHOTOPAINT FOR THE HAND MADE STUFF KNOWN BUGS: DIDN'T FIND ANY THOUGH I AM SURE THEY ARE OUT THERE! IF SO CONTACT ME AND I'LL ZAP'EM.... WHERE TO GET THIS MAP FILE: GAMELORDS KINGLINK SUNDRY OTHERS....I HOPE HELP FILE FOR TILES014 AND 015 .ART WHILE IN YOUR DUKE3D DIRECTORY: Type kextract duke3d.grp tiles*.art. This will extract and list all of the tiles into your duke3d directory. Once that has been done overwrite tiles014.art with the new tiles014.art that came with this map. Basic thing to do would be to unzip antarctica.zip into a temporary directory and then copy all of those files to your duke3d directory AFTER you have extracted the tiles*.art. After that just play and enjoy the eye candy!!! If there are any questions or comments you know where to get me. YES! This levels art can be used with other levels; however the map itself should not be modified unless stated that it has been changed from my original plan. Please contact me if you need advice or input. AND GIVE THE CREDIT WHERE THE CREDIT IS DUE....SEEEYA PAUL "TALON" JURY
