Misc. Author Info       :

Description             : These two levels have been over 12 
                          months in the making.  They've been
                          designed, changed, playtested and
                          perfected.  All of my beta testers
                          loved them - I hope you will to.
               

Additional Credits to   : Jonathan Griffin      ) Main beta
                          John Goring-Johnston  ) testers.

                          The author(s) of good-ii.wad, for
                          three sounds which I flogged.

                          And various vict .. er .. players from
                          The Cave BBS, Wellington.

                          It goes without saying we're all 
                          indebted to the people at id, etc.

* Notes *

*    You'll find it impossible to exit either level without cheating, 
     both levels utilise cooperative exits.
**   Difficulty settings 1 and 2 are no different from one another.
     Difficulty 3 is intended for 2 player play, difficulty 4 for 
     3-4 person play.  There is more ammunition and more monsters
     on difficulty 4 (Ultra-violence).
     Not all monsters/weapons present in multi-player mode are 
     present in single player mode.
***  Sounds Replaced:
     
     Sound:                     Replacement Source:

     Pistol Shot                Good-ii.wad
     Rocket detonation          Game I had once (I forget which one)
     Plasma in flight           Good-ii.wad (I suspect Star Wars)
     Death yell                 Rowan Atkinson as Blackadder
     Death Scream               Good-ii.wad (Arnie)
     Telephone sound (DM only)  Star Trek communicator (original series)

****Music changed for levels one, two and the intermission and title
    screen.
     Level:                      Source:

     1                           DAZED.MID
     2                           SLEDGE.MID
     INTERMISSION                HIDNSEEK.MID

    I'm told DAZED.MID is from a song called "Dazed and Confused" and 
    SLEDGE.MID is from a song called "Sledgehammer" Peter Gabriel.
    a clue as to the artists of DAZED.MID or the people who wrote 
    the midi files (they were taken from alt.binaries.midi) - I just 
    liked the sound of them for Doom.

To play this .wad, type "doom2 -file multimat.wad".  The file "multimat.wad"
must be in your Doom 2 directory to do this.

There is NO BFG on either level - I hate it.  Add one if you
wish, but please don't redistribute the changed level.  I really did 
leave it out for a reason!

Levels may be played co-operatively and single player, as well as
in deathmatch mode.  Level 1 is best for 3-4 players, but makes for 
an excellent "stalking" game for 2 - a meeting every 3-5 minutes.  
Level 2 is fun for 2-3 players, and is mayhem for 4 - a meeting every 
30 seconds.

* Construction *

Base                    : New levels from scratch. Inspiration for the
                          d‚cor of level 2 from hallspro.wad. 
Time Taken              : I estimate 100 h +
Editor(s) used          : DEU2 5.21, BSP 1.0, WinTex 3.41, TED,  
                          MUStool, RMB.
Known Bugs              : All gone (after 12 months)!
