Description:	It was a loooong time ago that I released E1M3 "No Quarter" of the Doomed Once More project as a "teaser" level for what I'd hoped would some day be a full episode replacement. Unfortunately, that day never came to be. I made a few more levels, but since then I've been falling in and out of the Doom Community. Just today, I thought what the hell, I spent too much time on this to never release it. I mean who am I kidding, I'm never going to finish four more maps. So here it is, the Doomed Once More project as finished as it's ever going to be.
Credits:
Base:	New levels from scratch.
Build time:	Way too long. I started E1M3 in February/ March of 2002.
Editor(s) used:	WadAuthor, WinTex
Bugs:	No big ones that I could find besides a few misaligned textures that I'm sure are there. However, since this really wasn't thoroughly playtested at all whatsoever, there very well could be some. If you see any bugs, send me an e-mail or contact me somehow and let me know.

Anonymous	The guy two above me must be trying this with ZDoom 2.2.0. In that version of ZDoom, the texturing appears to be severely, severely messed. The problem is fixed in the latest version of ZDoom (2.3.1) and also does not occur with GZDoom. The maps themselves are good. Too bad the project wasn't finished.	x
Anonymous	hmm.. if the reviewer above me is correct, you should smoke the weed and play with the map builder more often	x
Anonymous	You smoking weed before messing with map builder, or something? This is utter crap. 0/5	x
Anonymous	average at best. bland textures. easy gameplay.	x
Anonymous	VERY VERY NICE I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE THOUGH IF ANYONE KNOWS SOME VERY GOOD WADS (RARE ONES) PLEASE LET ME KNOW SGTBIGSTANK@AIM.COM -OR- MYSPACE.COM/STEEV64	x
Anonymous	Super stuff :) -pritch	x

*ADDITIONAL NOTES*

Doomed Once More background story:

Doomed Once More follows pretty much the same plot as the original Ultimate
Doom. You know, UAC, gateways getting fucked up, your team goes in, you're
left to "secure the perimeter" with only a pistol, etc.

E1M2
Map Title:		First Outpost
Music:			"Thin Ice" - David "Tolwyn" Shaw
Inspiration:		This level has previously been released as av46e1m7.
			wad, and it is slated to be E1M7 in the Freedoom
			project. It's based a little on the real E1M7.

Description:		This was one of the very first human settlements on
			Phobos and by the time the demons etc. came around it
			wasn't being used for much of anything other than
			computer storage and waste processing.

This is the closest you'll find to an E1 level in
			the set. Find the keys, hit the switches etc, with a
			few little gimmicks thrown in along the way. Be
			warned, however: there ammo/monster ratio is absolute
			shit. In all likelihood you WILL have to tyson your
			way through a few parts. There is a chainsaw easily
			accessible, and there should be enough health to
			sustain you. If you have trouble, just play on a
			lower skill level. If you're a real pussy, play
			through E1M1 just to build up some ammo.

E1M3
Map Title:		No Quarter
Music:			"The Wind" - Mark Klem
Inspiration:		Originally started out as a level for the ill-fated
			Doom Revisited project, so I decided to take it and
			center my own project around it. The goal was to
			make a level look as realistic as I could.

Description:		Takes place in the living quarters on Phobos. Your
			primary goal here is to activate the monorail and
			use it to progress further into the Phobos facility.
			The monorail isn't active because several portions
			of the tunnels have collapsed, causing the safety
			overrides to kick in and stop all monorail service.

You start out in a little service elevator. From
			there, you'll head up to the mess hall, and then
			the recreational facility. Inside the rec facility
			is the blue key, which will give you access to the
			troop quarters. Located in the troop quarters is
			the red key, which in turn allows to you enter the
			officers' quarters. Once there, you'll have to
			activate the monorail from within the monorail
			control center, then head up to the monorail station
			to exit.

There are eleven secrets in this level, including
			the yellow key, which isn't necessary towards
			completing the level, but will give you access to
			lots of neat things. There's also the secret exit.

In terms of difficulty, this level isn't overly
			hard. Don't be overwhelmed by the large monster
			count, since they are all rather weak (the toughest
			is a demon). There are, however, several somewhat
			tough battles, but this level should be a decent
			challenge for the average Doomer.

As for health and ammo, there isn't a whole LOT of
			spare health, but there is enough to go around.
			There are also two soul spheres, if you can find
			them.

I didn't put much ammo in this level on purpose. The
			reason is that due to the huge amount of enemies that
			drop ammo, it'll be hard to even take a step without
			picking something up, so ammo really shouldn't be a
			problem.

If you can't find some of the secrets, don't get
			angry. There are eleven, after all, and many of
			them are quite hard. Remember to "interact" with
			objects such as computers if you get stuck. There
			isn't a single inaccessible area in this level
			except for the deathmatch area, so don't worry.
			Just keep looking, and you'll eventually find it.

E1M4
Map Title:		Observing Death
Music:			"TechnoDoom" - Mark Klem
Inspiration:		This map is based somewhat on the "observatory" level
			mentioned in the Doom Bible, as well as on a map I
			drew a long time ago back before I even knew how to
			edit.

Description:		This level takes place in the communications center/
			observatory on Phobos. It starts where the monorail
			left E1M3 in crashed while attempting to go through
			one of the aforementioned "impassable" sectors.

First, you have to clear out the tech maze, which is
			a dark maze full of traps and monsters, and a soul
			sphere if you can find it. Once you've gotten past
			the maze there is an elevator to the roof of the
			comm center where the blue key is located.

The blue key gives you access to the observatory. You
			have to work your way up through the offices on the
			second floor first. Then you have to find the yellow
			key, which involves a lot of going from top to bottom
			in the building. The yellow key gives you access to
			the archives room where the red key is located. That
			item lets you enter the control room, from where the
			exit is opened.

In this map, I employed some neat little tricks,
			namely the 244 line type (the "silent teleport").
			There's also a cool trap in the yellow key area. In
			addition, just like last map, there is lots of
			console-pressing, so when in doubt, use the spacebar.

E1M5
Map Title:		Gateway
Music:			"Tempter" - Mark Klem
Inspiration:		Basically, I just wanted to recreate Phobos Anomaly
			but make it less hellish and more UAC base-ish.

Description:		Kill barons, end level yay.

E1M6
Map Title:		El Fin
Music:			Canyon.mid!

Description:		A lame little end-level. Enjoy.

E1M9 (secret)
Map Title:		Stash
Music:			"Nothing to Brag About" - Mark Klem

I'm not telling you anything about this map, hence the "secret" part.
