=========== * REVISED VERSION OF THE ORIGINAL LEVELS * ================= Title : WELCOME TO THE BACARDI SERIES! Filename : BACARDI1.WAD Author : LORDUNUM (Samuel Lock) Email Addresses : LordUnum@aol.com Misc. Author Info : Member of the Long Beach DWANGO server. DOOM ADDICT! (Of course! ;) ) Also a qualified L.O.R.D. and Exitilus nut! Description : Ahem, here goez... All the sounds sound a lot more realistic and less harsh sounding now. Such as that deafening roar emitted from the plasma gun when firing off a single shot! OUCH..You may also wonder just how Shang Tsung got into DooM! ehehe The ENDOOM screen has been replaced, without taking away from iD's credit BTW, plugging our local DWANGO server and of course this awesome series. Just go check out all the nifty new things in here... This applies to MOST levels: Skill levels 1 & 2 -The rocket launcher is the best weapon available (depending on your opinion! >:) ) Skill levels 3 -The Plasma gun is the highest weapon available here. Skill levels 4 & 5 -BFG is the highest attainable weapon. ******************************* NOTE: ******************************* - MAKE DEMOS ON THIS WAD AND SEND EM TO ME! I WILL INCLUDE THEM FOR EVERYONE'S VIEWING PLEASURE! There will be six other collections of five levels each, along with all the FX. Look for the individual levels (they are released sooner) on the INet as BACRDIxx.ZIP where xx is the level. I will make 32 levels in all in the Bacardi series. So look forward to MANY more quality levels, and WAD's... Also be on the lookout for Morbidity 2 (MORBDTY2.ZIP)! The awesome sequel me and Anonymous are working on for Doom2 also. Look forward to more awesome special effects, sound fx, music, and poss. textures (?). Be on the lookout for RAPNROCK.ZIP, which will replace all 32 level's music, skies, all the sfx, and implement that kewl statbar. I will start work on another series too the SL SERIES! Levels like SLDETH, SLCATWLK, SLARENA, SLGORFST, SLBLKDTH, SLCRTYRD, SLBASTRD, SLNUKE, SLBLAST, and such... *WHEW* I'm gonna be busy all the way til Summer at very least! =) And my 2 cents 'bout QUAKE... Look NOTHING will EVER top the success and popularity of DooM, ok? I mean nothing against QUAKE or any other past or future Doom-alike...it is just so damn awesome! The atmosphere and the simplicity, I mean it's indescribable! DM is so fast with DooM and just so kewl. I mean this game is so DAMN customizable!! Maybe iD did make a mistake...THEY JUST CANNOT TOP THE BEST GAME EVER MADE! Well I guess they should relax now. Johnny boy...just relax buddy. Carmack(s)...go on a LONG vacation! You all deserve it there at iD! I can't thank you enough for providing us with so much fun times, and with such a bloody mess of a game!!!! DOOM RULZ 4EVA!

Deathmatch 2-4 Player : HELL YEAH! (THAT'S WHY YOU PLAY DOOM, RIGHT?!) Difficulty Settings : Yes (Read above) New Sounds : YES (Pump up the volume f00l!) New Graphics : Yes (Read above) New Music : YES (KICKASS NIN, AIC, ZOMBIE MUSIC!) Demos Replaced : DEMO1 v1.9 (Read NOTE!) The demo is pretty sucky only because it was a converted between BOND and ANONYMOS on the OLD version. When converted to the new level, with the addition of sectors, etc. the players misfire. Amazingly, the total actually ended up in frags (2-0 I believe)! I just inserted it cuz, well, it was there and BOND and ANON. are my good buds anywayz. * Construction * Base : New level from scratch (I patterned it after W00P) Editor(s) used : DETH v3.0-v3.91, ZenNode v0.98a, WARM v1.6, DCK v3.x (only thing I use it for is cut/pasting) and NWT v1.3 * BTW editors SHOULD be FREEWARE Ben! * I used Paint Shop Pro v3.12 (32bit) for the texture and graphics..can anyone recommend a MUCH better graphic-modifying program? Crappy anti-aliasing as you can tell! Corel Photo-Paint did not do that well either. I ONLY USE THE BEST TOOLS NOW! Known Bugs : NO BUGS! PERFECTLY ALIGNED TEXTURES! * Copyright / Permissions * Authors MAY NOT use these levels as a base to build additional levels.
