SPEAR OF DESTINY MAPS Contained in this archive are all 21 maps for Spear of Destiny, the Wolfenstein 3D sequel. This includes maps for 18 regular levels (4 of which contain bosses!), 2 secret levels, and the final "Death Angel" level in which you fight the Devil himself. These maps were created with P. Hosken's Wolfmap version 4.1. This utility may be found on many BBSs as WMAP41.ZIP. In order to produce the maps it was necessary to modify the data files WMAPOBJ.DAT and WMAPWALL.DAT to include the hexidecimal codes and print symbols for the many new objects and wall types in Spear of Destiny. Although I feel I have picked print symbols that accurately and attractively represent the objects and wall types, I have included the data files with my modifications so that you may change the print symbols to a selection of a selection of your choice. To do this you must download Wolfmap 4.1 and replace the two data files with mine. You must also copy MAPHEAD.SOD and GAMEMAPS.SOD into the directory containing Wolfmap and the new data files, then rename them to MAPHEAD.WL6 and GAMEMAPS.WL6, respectively. Note that some of the objects that appear in the data files are not used in Spear of Destiny, such as the Pacman ghosts and floating fake Hitlers. I have left these in the data files to allow for backward compatibility of the data files for mapping Wolfenstein 3D levels. It does not hurt to leave these definitions in; Wolfmap simply ignores them if it does not encounter the hexidecimal codes which define them. I have also included the file MAP.KEY. This file contains the key explaining all objects and wall elements in the maps. I have included this key at the bottom of all maps. These maps use extended ascii characters extensively for graphical representation of objects, etc. To print them as intended, you must copy them to a printer with a font that supports the extended ascii (sometimes knows as the IBM extended) character set. On a HP Laserjet this character set is known as PC-8. You must also set your printer to print at 8 lines per inch vertical spacing and 16.67 or 17 characters per inch horizontal spacing (pitch). There is s shareware program called the Laserjet Setup Utility (LSU) which allows one to do this conveniently from the command line. Actually I use LSU just to set the 8 lines per inch vertical spacing after manually setting the font from the Laserjet III's control panel (internal font 38 on mine). From there, simply copy the map files to the printer as follows: COPY *.MAP PRN ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The contents of this archive are as follows: README.1ST The file you are now reading WMAPOBJ.DAT The data file for defining the appearance of objects in maps created by Wolfmap 4.1 WMAPWALL.DAT The data file for defining the appearance of wall and other structure-related elements in maps created by Wolfmap 4.1 MAP.KEY A key to objects and wall elements.
