=========================================================================== Advanced engine needed : None Primary purpose : Single play =========================================================================== Title : Zone 300 Filename : zone300.wad Release date : ORIGINAL RELEASE 23 September 2013 FINAL BUGFIX RELEASE 29 September 2013 Author : Paul Corfiatis (Pcorf) Email Address : pcorfiatis@our.net.au pcorfiatis@hotmail.com Description : A 32 level megawad of small maps for Doom 2. Your mission is simple. Blast you way through techbases, dungeons and hellish abodes and save Earth from extinction. These maps contain no more than 300 linedefs apart from the much larger super secret level. Zone 300 = Short, quick and simple. Credits : id for Doom, Codeimp for Doom Builder, and the authors of all the other software. Rayzik for the level names. Nightfright for other minor corrections. Design Info : Well after months of inactivity in mapping I thought I'd surprise you all with a new release. I wanted to challenge myself to make a complete 32 map megawad with a complete original musical score in less than 2 months. The maps on average contain around 50 to 100 monsters. The good thing about smaller maps that it was much easier for me to get the gameplay balance right. Inspired by Doomworld's 100 linedef project I thought to myself you could make decent levels with no more than 300 linedefs. It should run with Vanilla Doom2.exe. As you know I do not make slaughter maps so the difficulty of the maps are comparable to id's maps and if you find it too easy you can always play it with -fast monsters or on nightmare difficutly. Multiplayer and DM are supported and there is extra multiplayer stuff in the maps such as weapons for DM. The Icon of Sin also looks a bit different in MAP30, its now greyscale and negative and has a new name "The Icon of Damnation" deep within the Eternal Core. The music is all original although the intermission contains the remix of the Doom 2 readme song used in Doom 2 Unleashed (aka Pcorf Community Project). I wanted new music because you always hear the usual music replacements in megawads from other games like Duke3D and Rott. Enough is a enough so now go and load up Zone 300 and try to beat it as fast as you can. All maps are playable from a pistol start. =========================================================================== * What is included * New levels : 32 Sounds : No Music : Yes (original music) Graphics : Yes (titlepic and some modified textures) Dehacked/BEX Patch : Yes (Built in) Demos : No Other : No Other files required : No * Play Information * Game : Doom 2 Single Player : Designed for Cooperative 2-4 Player : Player starts only Deathmatch 2-4 Player : Player starts only Other game styles : None Difficulty Settings : Yes * Construction * Base : New from scratch Build Time : 9 August 2013 to 23 September 2013 Editor(s) used : Doombuilder 2.12.1553, XWE, Cakewalk Sonar 7 for the music WhackEd4 1.0.2 Bugs : - MAP07, MAP11 cannot be completed in -nomonsters mode. - Super secret exit cannot be reached in DM mode.
