Extreme 3D and all the Kai stuff (pretty mutch everything),

* About the Author
My name is Suren Pillay. I live in South Africa. I am 18.
I like brunettes (WOMEN ONLY). I beat the ZeusBot (Second only to
the ReaperBot), and Quake on Nightmare skill. I am a DGAK (DOOM
grand ass kicker: unofficially though). I have clocked Duke3D and
MDK, Quake2 and Half-Life on hard skill and I have so many DM frags
that I... I... Umm what does a guy do with frags anyway? My only
ambition is to be a game programmer/artist/designer! And that was
the story of my life!
As I said before, I have created many levels before:-
Cold Storage: Technological DM level, DoomTex.WAD (TRA_CSTR.ZIP)
Death in the Mix: Gothic DM level, Fire&Ice.WAD (TRA_DMIX.ZIP)
The Citadel of Savagery: Medieval DM level, Medieval.wad (TRA_CSAV.ZIP)
The Domain of Darkness: Runic DM level, Metal.Wad (TRA_DOD.ZIP)
HellStar: Technological DM level, StarDust.Wad (TRA_HSTR.ZIP)
Architecturally, they beat the hell out of the one room cock-ups that most
people try to pass off as DM levels. They offer a scintilating orgy
of bloodlust, sadistic violence and pandemonic mayhem, and they play well
too!
I prefer techno stuff - I have done LOTS of DOOM levels, but I haven't
released any. I can't wait for Quake III, and then you will see my true
talents, I hope! (If I get a decent system)
If you want to release any utilities, levels, misson packs for Quake III
or any other game give me a call... I ain't got anything better to do!
If you have a level editor for Quake III, I would be happy to help with
coding, testing, ideas, etc.
At the moment, I'm working on a crappy 200MMX which is too slow, has too
little memory, too little hard drive space and too small a monitor. If the
level is crap, blame the system... It crashed 27 times during design.
* Hints * !!!SPOILER WARNING!!! !!!SPOILER WARNING!!! !!!SPOILER WARNING!!!
The following is a strategy guide... it is only intended for inexperinced
players who will be shredded in this level!
The weapon locations are:
* Crowbar... none
* 9mm Pistol... none
* 357 Magnum... the room next to the gauss room, near the longjump module,
overlooking the small slime pit.
* 9MM Assult Rifle... all over the place, especially the central room.
* Shotgun... all over the place, especially the storage room.
* Crossbow... Sniper deck, overlooking the central room, opposite the
small slime pit.
* Gauss Rifle... gauss room, overlooking the small slime pit - use the
longjump to get it
* Egon... egon room, jump through the rotors to get it.
* Rocket Launcher... container room jump on top of the containers - you
need the longjump
* Hornet Gun... in all the toxic slime.
* Satchels, Snarks, Tripmines, Hand Grenades, AR Grenades... scattered
around the stairwells.
The point of this level was an experiment: readily availabe small arms and
ammo, scarce big weapons and ammo. Should be interesting to say the least.
Health is readily available... I was trying to create a Quake DM6 style.
* FAQ *
Some dumb questions I have been asked by "friends":
* Why is the rocket so hard to get? You aren't supposed to get it! Duh!
* Why is the gauss so hard to get? You aren't supposed to get it! Duh!
* Why is the egon so hard to get? Do you see a pattern developing?
* Why is the level designed this way and not that way? If you like a
level a certain way, make your own!
* Why can't I afford a decent system? Because one dollar makes 750 000 Rands
(S.A. Currency) and chips are pretty expensive down here!
