Description:	Sequel to "Out of Phase" - two maps done in the same style! These were based loosely on two of my Speedmaps, but even if you've played those before, you'll notice that a lot has been changed - these are not the same maps! Like in my first "Out of Phase", these maps also use the _METAL1_ doors, and the dark corridors with bright lights at the intersection :) A New Year Release!
Credits:	* My brother Varun for playtesting and useful feedback. * Damian Lee for very useful information about making images with the Doom Palette - I couldn't have made the new graphics without that! * To everyone who has given me feedback on my first "Out of Phase" level. * Doug "Opulent" Merrill, Albert Valls, Metabolist, Joe Pallai and Varun for recording demos of the first "Ophase". * Doomworld, for organising Speedmapping - these two levels have some parts from some speedmaps I made. * NewDoom.com for hosting me! * Doom Center and The 9th Gate team for inspiration and support. * The authors of all tools used to make these levels (see below).
Base:	Parts of the levels have been taken from two speedmaps I made. But a lot has been changed.
Build time:	About 3-4 days overall
Editor(s) used:	DoomCAD 6.1 by Matt Tagliaferri BSP 5.0 by Colin Phipps Wintex 4.3 by Olivier Montanuy XWE by Csabo Paint Shop Pro 6.0 by Jasc Software
Bugs:	No playability bugs. Maybe a few texture misalignments, but nothing serious.

Anonymous	4? :lol:, this is as best meh: very simple layout, almost no texture use, about zero gameplay. 2 for the enthusiasm minus 1 because one of the autors gave his own work 4* instead of a neutral 3.	x
Anonymous	Not too long, but a good challenge. Making the two levels was nice.	x
Anonymous	See OPHASE.	x

Description             : Sequel to "Out of Phase" - two maps done in the
                          same style!  These were based loosely on two of
                          my Speedmaps, but even if you've played those
                          before, you'll notice that a lot has been
                          changed - these are not the same maps!

Like in my first "Out of Phase", these maps also
                          use the _METAL1_ doors, and the dark corridors
                          with bright lights at the intersection :)

A New Year Release!

Additional Credits to   : * My brother Varun for playtesting and useful

* Damian Lee for very useful information about
                            making images with the Doom Palette - I
                            couldn't have made the new graphics without
                            that!

* To everyone who has given me feedback on my
                            first "Out of Phase" level.

* Doomworld, for organising Speedmapping - these
                            two levels have some parts from some speedmaps
                            I made.

May Not Run With...     : Two plain vanilla Doom II levels -
                          Will work with anything :)

* Additional Information *

Gameplay Info           : Skill 1 is very easy, Skill 3 is action
                          packed, and Skill 4 is harder than the
                          first "Out of Phase".

Gameplay is less linear this time - there
                          are interconnected passageways so you can
                          experiment with different ways of playing
                          these levels.

There are 8 DM starts in each level.
                          Some more weapons and items have been
                          added for that.  But I tested it without
                          the extras in Skulltag.  Anyway, I think
                          Deathmatch should be fun in these levels,
                          especially MAP02.

Graphics Info           : All these new graphics were made by me...

* New titlepic
                          * New credit screen
                          * New status bar
                          * New M_DOOM graphic, and
                          * New sky!

Music                   : Eiffel 65 music like in the first "Out of
                          Phase"!  Here's the list of the songs...
  
                          * Title Music  : Outhere Brothers "Boom Boom"
                          * MAP01        : Eiffel 65 "Move Your Body"
                          * MAP02        : Eiffel 65 "Another Race"
                          * Intermission : US3 "Cantaloop"

Tools                   : DoomCAD 6.1 was used to make both levels,
                          BSP 5.0 to build nodes, WinTex 4.3 for
                          putting all the stuff in the WAD, XWE for
                          cleaning up the WAD and making a 1.03 MB WAD
                          into a little over 400 KB :), Paint Shop Pro
                          6.0 for making all graphics.
