IF ANY BODY HAS OR CAN GET "Princes of the Universe" by Queen, THE OPENING SONG FOR THE T.V. SERIES HIGHLANDER IN MIDI FORM PLEASE E-MAIL IT TO ME, I CAN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE!!!! eddie@bright.net HI TO: Chundy, Mike, Gabriel, Brian, Worm Boy, Allen Man and Aaron ========================================================= TITLE : EXXXPO FILENAME : EXXXPO.MAP or EXXXPOhr.MAP AUTHOR : EdWar E-MAIL ADDRESS : eddie@bright.net IMPORTANT NOTE : This level is for version 1.5 of Duke Nukem 3D!!!! DESCRIPTION : This is BEOTCHIN' couple of levels. The setting is a restaurant (GIG-N-BUB's, named after some friends of mine that love bars) and a condo type apartment building which I spent a lot of time trying to perfect, so this level is sharp as a tack. EXXXPOhr is included in case you don't have a fairly fast machine like I do, it is the same level but there are some things taken out of the open and a few things inside taken out, so the stubborn (or broke) people who still have 486's can enjoy it as well. If your machine doesn't run this at a decent frame rate\speed then stop being stubborn, or if you're broke then sell your car, if that doesn't work then, sell your house. ========================================================= * PLAY INFORMATION * EPISODE and LEVEL# : User select level SINGLE PLAYER : yes DUKEMATCH LEVEL : Absolutely! 2-8, but this was made specifically for 4-6 player DIFFICULTY SETTINGS : yes, should have, but its cool enough the way it is * CONSTRUCTION * BASE : New level from scratch, NO ONE may change or alter this level in any way as to attempt to claim it as their own, and no one may use this level as a level which is used or built on as a base for additional levels in an attempt to claim it as their own, it is 3D REALMS' software and MY design and I would like it to stay that way. However, if you are inspired by the awe of this level then please feel free to design YOUR own level and do a good job (or at least try) and take pride in what you did, because you did it and no one else did!!!! Hey, do something that hasn't been done before!!!! EDITOR USED : BUILD of course KNOWN BUGS : There aren't any that I have noticed yet (knock on wood), I've tried to avoid all the common bugs that I've seen in other levels, but hey, if there is I sure hope some one tells me about it, if it is really bad, because I spent MAJOR time on this folks and it should be a PERFECT level. STORYLINE : Just outside of Dukes home town, Galion, Ohio, (if any one near an imense body of water, known as Lake Galion, cares) Duke was planning a picknick with a beautiful chick, mainly his new girl. She had gold hair, green eyes, dark and lovely skin, and most of all duke didn't want to mess up his date with her. As they were were traveling down towards the water front to the beach they passed his favorite hang out,"GIG-N-BUBs'". Although Amy didn't notice it, Duke new something was up at his hang out. Thinking quickly, Duke parked his car down the street and said he was going to rush back up to his apartment to get some soda that he had forgoten. What he really meant is that he forgot to clean something up. "I'll be right back Amy, this WILL NOT take long". As Duke neared his target, he noticed a newly constructed force field and felt his trigger finger begin to itch ....................... COMMENTS : This level pack includes 2 maps, one for Hi Resolution play (or normal play for all you 486'ers) named EXXXPOhr.MAP and its' sister level EXXXPO.MAP, which is slower, but more decorated. Also included is a .MIDi file by Queen called "Another One Bites the Dust". For all you new guys who just bought Duke Nukem 3D, if you don't already know , if you rename ANY .MIDi file to DETHTOLL.mid any place it in your duke 3d directory, it will play that music whenever you play any user level. Yet another feature of this pack is a tile art file, TILES015.ART, to be exact which has something only a hard core BUILDer or someone from 3D REALMS would fully appreciate. I haven't seen it before in the game, but maybe I haven't been paying attention, well any way, it is what I call a "shading sprite", it allows one to make a roof, wall, or other flat places (although it was made for a wall) to seem as though they are casting a shadow from a light source. I did use one other trick involving the use of slanted sectors seen from one side with the ceiling and floors touching, and different shades. (You can better see what I'm trying to explain if you look at it in build). It is a nice trick but, in my opinion it woul be better, and less time consuming to use a sprite to do this, hence my tiles art creation. Since I didn't think of this until I was finished with my level there is only one example of it on my level, see if you can pick it out without going into BUILD. Don't forget to remove any other files named "TILES015.ART", put them in a safe and different directory and put in the one that came with this pack.
