Title:	Man on the Moon - 2021 edition
Filename:	levels/doom2/Ports/m-o/motm.zip
Size:	3.05 MB
Date:	11/11/18
Author:	Yugiboy85
Description:	This is a significant update to my previously released "Man on the moon" (2018). Just like "travelling to the moon", this is done to celebrate the announcement of the third installement and also to bring it to my current standards. This one recieved a massive gameplay overhaul, specifically on the progression side of things. The exit is now more visible and you only need 3 keys instead of 4 (the 4th green key is still here but optional) for example. This one also recieved a few visual upgrades (mainly the starting area to connect it to the prequel more) although, I was already pleased with how it looked so, it's pretty small upgrades (aside from the starting area of course). Anyhow, as a result, I think the map flows better and you should have fun with this one ;) ALSO included in this file: - A "legacy" folder containing the original release (2018) + its readme file. (Motm.wad + motm_old.txt) - A ready to use command line in txt format (MOTM_21.txt) for prboom+ (you will need to save it as a bat. Have fun !
Credits:
Base:	Modified version of my previously released "man on the moon"
Build time:	2 months I'd say for the updates
Editor(s) used:	Ultimate Doom Builder, Slade 3
Bugs:	I have not seen any gamebreaking bugs and, none were reported by my testers for this version. There may be the odd slimetrail but, heh, I think I got rid of most of them. Due to the map using a dehacked boss, I would advise against any gameplay mod. Cosmetic mods should be fine (see david newton's video on the map) but, even then, not tested. Use at your own risk, but be warned, I can't be responsible for any bugs encountered while playing with them.

                          while back, Jimmy and john suitepee for going 
			  through these updated maps even though they 
		          played them before, rd for (I think she did) 
			  playing through the new version of motm and also
                          giving me the idea of updating the old files directly,
                          MattFright, Korendian, veinen (he mainly played tttm but sill ^^),

Build Time              : 2 months I'd say for the updates

Editor(s) used          : Ultimate Doom Builder, Slade 3

Known Bugs              : I have not seen any gamebreaking bugs and, none
                          were reported by my testers for this version. There
                          may be the odd slimetrail but, heh, I think I got
                          rid of most of them. 
                          
                          Due to the map using a dehacked boss, I would
                          advise against any gameplay mod. Cosmetic mods
                          should be fine (see david newton's video on the
                          map) but, even then, not tested. Use at your own

		          bugs encountered while playing with them.

May Not Run With        : Vanila engines and zdaemon (the boss uses mbf
                          specific pointers that are apparently not supported
                          by zdaemon)

Tested With             : Prboom+ 2.1.5.4  primarily (and 2.1.5.5), gzdoom
