=========================================================================== Advanced engine needed : ZDooM v2.1.7 or later Primary purpose : Single + coop play =========================================================================== Title : Eternal DOOM IV: Return from Oblivion Filename : ed4_rfo1.wad Other Files Included : ed4_rfo1.txt coop.txt hubnotes.txt Release date : January 11, 2008 Author : TeamTNT Email Address : rfo@teamtnt.com Misc. Author Info : Ty Halderman: TeamTNT head honcho, webmaster, and resource manager Chris Couleur: Maps 11-13, project manager, textures, play-testing Esa 'Espi' Repo: Map 27, textures, sounds, play-testing Rex Claussen: Maps 08-10, resource management, project management support, play-testing Description : All maps are: (i) medieval-themed, and generally very large compared to typical DooM maps; (ii) non-linear and feature multiple paths; (iii) feature castle and fortress architecture, fights on an epic scale, and magnificent vistas. Maps 08-10 can be played in any order within the hub, and powerups & enemies are different in any given map depending on whether you play it first or play it after entering from another map. This provides additional replay value. This is a 7-map demo. TeamTNT intends to create a full megawad next. Tested with ZDooM and GZDooM IMPORTANT INFORMATION : Maps 08-10 constitute a hub, and MUST be started from Map 08. To ensure proper gameplay do not use the IDCLEV cheat code to warp to any of the maps in the hub. (i.e. *DO NOT* begin the game by warping to Map 09 or 10). Doing so will mess up the scripts and will leave you stuck in the map to which you warp. [You can warp to a map just to look around if you wish] To ensure proper gameplay do not use the IDCLIP cheat code to leave the intro area or the hub area in Map 08. Doing so will mess up the scripts and will leave you stuck in the map. To ensure proper gameplay do not use the IDKFA cheat code to get weapons in the hub. Doing so could mess up the scripts and will leave youstuck in the map in which you used the cheat code. [This is particularly true of the chainsaw, as once you've gotten it through the cheat code you cannot pick it up in the map. This could prevent you from being able to leave the map.] For co-operative play read the text file coop.txt before playing.
