================================================================ Title : Alien Planet Complex Filename : apcomplx.map Author : Adrian Messecar Email Address : aia96@jps.net WWW Address : Description : Duke has been defending the Earth from alien invasions for some time now, and now it is time to take the fight to them. Duke is sent into alien territory and lands on an alien planet. His mission is to take over an alien complex so it can be used as a base for Earth forces. The level is large, and on slower computers, the frame rate may slow down too much (the frame rate is OK with a 120 MHz Pentium). In my 3rd & 4th levels (dvsaab.map, dvsdemon.map), I thought it would be fun if duke could fly (jetpack) around and drop bombs on the enemy, so I created areas for this. I created an area for this in this level also, but I also made 2 small ships you can sink. To see downward, press the "End" key on keyboard until you're looking downward as much as you can. And select "6" key (pipe bombs), press "j" to start the jetpack, then move out over the area below. The aliens below will follow your position, and they often will get under you so you can't see them, so you may need to use "Shift" key with "arrow" keys to move faster than the aliens move so you get ahead of them. Also, you can usually see them better if you are flying backwards (since you can see them following you if you are looking backwards). Bugs: When dropping pipe bombs (or shooting RPG's) on the 2 small ships, detonations at certain spots can blow the deck off without sinking the ship. This won't look right, but it won't affect game play and you can still sink the ships with another bomb or shot. ================================================================ * Play Information * Game : Duke Nukem 3D v1.3 Episode and Level # : E1l8 Single Player : Yes Cooperative 2-4 Player : No DukeMatch 2-4 Player : No Difficulty Settings : Yes : 3 difficulty settings: 1st (lowest): default: duke3d map apcomplx 2nd: duke3d map apcomplx /s2 3rd: duke3d map apcomplx /s3 New Sounds : No New Graphics : No New Music : No Demos Replaced : No =============================================================== * Construction * Base : New level from scratch Editor used : Build Previous levels by me : 1st 2 levels : aigbsc.zip - aigbase.map - aiscraft.map alien infiltration ground base and alien infiltration space craft (can be played as a 2 level episode or separately) 3rd level : dvsaab.zip - dvsaab.map duke verses alien army base 4th level : dvsdemon.zip - dvsdemon.map duke verses demon from hell and his army =============================================================== * To Play: To start, type at DOS prompt in duke3d directory: duke3d map apcomplx (1st (lowest) difficulty setting (default)) duke3d map apcomplx /s2 (2nd difficulty setting: more monsters than 1st) duke3d map apcomplx /s3 (3rd difficulty setting: more monsters than 2nd)
