================================================================ Title : Godless 3: Kevorkian Litanies A Berry Creek Software Production Filename : GODLESS3.WAD Author : Chris Bilski and Blain Newport Email Address : cbilski@deepwell.com, brn@calweb.com Web Page : http://www.calweb.com/~brn Misc. Author Info : Still think DOOM DM is the most fun you can have with a PC. Description : 8 levels of DM fun. Godless 3 is a step back from the insanity of Godless 2. Most of the levels are somewhat larger and easier to get around in. They're still slaughterfests with four players, but with two, you can actually have hunting / stalking matches on most of the maps. Additional Credits to : Id Software John Carmack deserves special thanks for his commitment to the community and technical idealism most recently demonstrated by the release of the DOOM source code. Ben Morris (DCK) Olivier Montanuy (DEUTEX) Robert Fenske Jr. (WARM) Bob Boyer (DWELLER2.WAD) Marin Gazzari (KANDYx.WAD) Brian Vannatta (DANZIGx.WAD) Brian Weldon (DANZIGx.WAD) Bill McClendon (Blain's DM Guru) Wayne Hart (Beta Testing) Shawn Riggins (Beta Testing) The DOOM community. From what I've seen in Usenet, there's occasional infighting and cliquishness, but overall, I'm proud of the effort the remaining groups and individuals continue to put into DOOM. And finally, a special thanks to the hackers. Id never intended for users to make their own DOOM levels. I just can't express how grateful I am to those people who hacked out their secrets. You changed the gaming world forever. And thanks again to Id Software. You chose to nurture what most people would have sicked a pack of lawyers on. In your own way, you are heroes. ================================================================ * Play Information * Episode and Level # : MAP01 - MAP08 Single Player : No (Starts Included) Cooperative 2-4 Player : No (Starts Included) Deathmatch 2-4 Player : Yes 3 - 4 players recommended Difficulty Settings : Not implemented Play on skill 5 DM 1.0 -nomonsters New Sounds : No New Graphics : A few new textures, new level names, & other miscellaneous graphics.

Watch as his efforts are thwarted time and time again. Will he ever claim his prize? DEMO3: Watch Blain stay alive for Longer Than Nature Intended on one of Godless 3's most brutal maps. * Construction * Base : New levels from scratch Actually the first map's rocket alcoves were cut and pasted from MAP01. In addition, numerous structural ideas were taken from the DWELLER, DANZIG, and KANDY wad compilations. Editor(s) used : DCK 2.2 (still the best) DEUTEX (also still the best) WARM, Win95 PaintBrush, and NeoPaint (UR) Known Bugs : E1M1 slime bug has been noted on Map 8 and probably occurs elsewhere as this wad contains a few Pentium Optimized levels (lots of visible sidedefs and linedefs). Any others that slipped through should be reported immediately. Who Made What MAP01 Bloodbath Terraces Blain MAP02 The Training Facility Chris MAP03 Concrete Ordeal Chris MAP04 Load House Blain MAP05 A Maniac's Eden Chris MAP06 The Engagement Zone Chris MAP07 The Marble Trench Blain MAP08 Explosion Central Chris Chris did lots of dress up on Bloodbath Terraces. (Blain's new PC disliked DOOM to the point where he had to reformat a few times. He's learning to work around that.) * Copyright / Permissions * As long as you're distributing them for free, you can alter anything you want in the wad files as long as you tell us about it, and we get credit in an accompanying text file.

And one more thing, no one who was in any way involved with selling me the D!ZONE disk set that claimed to include 75 new levels of which over 20 were from registered DOOM and most of which stank may do _anything_ with these levels. I don't even want you shysters PLAYING them! Got that? None of you Actura scum either. Repent while you can. ================================================================ * Where to get this WAD * FTP sites: ftp.cdrom.com and finer mirrors everywhere Other: http://www.calweb.com/~brn You've reached the end of yet another of Blain's Interminable Text Files. If you're this much of a glutton for punishment, go read my DM Philosophy articles on the Berry Creek DeathMatch site. (The URL is 6 lines up.) And send me some email. As far as I know, only one person we didn't cajole has played our wads.
