Title                   : FORTLAV2.WAD (Fortress of Lava v2)

Description             : Original Deathmatch PWAD for Heretic (Registered)

Additional Credits to   : Justin Powell, for his "storm the fort" PWAD for

                          DOOM ][ that inspired this PWAD.


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.

* Construction *

============================================================================


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


Known 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.
