08/11/95 ============================================================================= Title : THE UNDERHALLS 1.0, 2nd Level in The UNHOLY Series Copyright @1995 by John Walker IV Author : John Walker IV for DOOM II E-mail Address : unholy@primenet.com Other Files by Author : UNHOLY01.WAD : 30 levels left to come in this Series (hopefully). Misc Author Info : DOOM fanatic... SPC in the US Army (92y) Unit Supply Specialist Additional Credits : My wife for her patience. : Paul Sterud for putting up with my anoying calls: "Dude, check out the wad now, I added another texture!!!" : A guy nicknamed ||BARON|| who I met on IRC (my first playtester who was a complete stranger). The next one will be out soon, I promise! : All the authors for all the editors and other utilities I used for creation. : Mark Riel for the "Unholy was here" patch. And for being patient with me while I tried to import it in the level. : Everyone at Id Software for allowing people like me to create my own world! Not to mention a great game! Hip Hip ... Description : Uh, I'm still working on that. Maybe a storyline will give me a reason to actually release a v1.1. For now, though, use the same story id gave you. I'm going to PLDC (an army school) in two days as of this writing. If it looks like I cheesed a little just to get this level out, your right. I made it as best I could and I am still happy with it. I have a really good idea for the next level, The Gauntlet, but I'm afraid you'll have to wait about 2 months for it, sorry.

If you do, I will pursue all legal means available under copyright law. ============================================================================= * Other WADs recommended by the Author * - The Church of Doom II (CHURCH.WAD) by Virgil Itliong (virgil@austin.ibm.com) I'm not quite sure why this was called church.wad and not grave.wad, it's more of a cemetary than anything else. Great construction in this wad, including features such as a musoleum with a chaingunner...some- where, people burning at the stake, a church (small), and the most awesome exit I've ever seen. This wad is simply great. Oh, BTW, as soon as I contact the author, don't be surprised if you see that same sky texture in one of my future levels. ============================================================================= * Where to get this WAD * FTP: ftp.cdrom.com (somewhere under .2/idgames) BBS: The Coffee Cup (520)459-2647 (This text file was originally provided as AUTH_WAD.TXT v1.2 with DEU 5.1.) ============================================================================= * Important Notes on Gameplay * DO NOT use gamma correction! I do not make my levels at all dark, and if there is a dark area, it is meant to be that way. The best think to do is when you first start the level, turn gamma correction off and adjust the brightness on you monitor until you get that "rustic" feel. Trust me, this will make the level look _so much_ better. Have fun!
