Size:	45.91 KB
Date:	02/05/95
Author:	Kenneth S. Forte
Description:	Original Deathmatch PWAD for Heretic (Registered)
Credits:	Justin Powell, for his "storm the fort" PWAD for DOOM ][ that inspired this PWAD.
Base:	New level from scratch.
Build time:	12 packs of cigarettes, 8 pots of coffee
Editor(s) used:	HEU v5.21, BSP 1.2x, DMGRAPH/WT2 bastardization
Bugs:	More Moire. This is the same gripe as the "TooManyThings" bug. If they decided to make rain, sparkleys, exploding mines, etc, why didn't they increase the capabilities of the bloody engine to compensate? If they decided to let you fly around, thus requiring sectors that were taller than DOOM needed, why didn't they increase the capabilities of the bloody engine to compensate? It is NO fun at all to fly around in little 512 x high sectors. It is NO fun at all to avoid using the powered up Hellstaff because suddenly the guy youre tearing into make disappear. Lalalalala. Something in the jury-rigged graphics patcher I hacked up slightly mangled the palette. This is the real reason why the signs get closed off after you leave those area the first time, since theyre just too fugly to look at. Not that I'm any good at graphics either... Moral of the Mace_Bug Story: I should read the newsgroups much more often.

Points of Interest      : New in this version: Excess FireMace: OUT
                                               Bombing Raven/Id: IN

(FireMace is now in the large lava pit with the
                           spare morph ovum (ovi?) and flyers and is only
                           accessible by flying there)

Take time to look at the signs. If you don't
                          follow their simple instructions, you will
                          probably die, and if you somehow muddle through,
                          you won't get a second chance to look at them
                          (at least during that particular match).

The exit is fairly hard to find unless you have
                          some odd ultraviolet-based vision. It isn't
                          really hidden in the strictest sense, but it is
                          camoflauged fairly well. It is NOT a cooperative
                          exit.

Known Bugs              : More Moire. This is the same gripe as the

                          didn't they increase the capabilities of the
                          bloody engine to compensate? If they decided to

                          disappear. Lalalalala.

Something in the jury-rigged graphics patcher I
                          hacked up slightly mangled the palette. This is
