Here are my complaints...
By Jive on 18 sept, 2006 for GZW

I had to lower the volume of the sound "DSNOWAY" (the one you hear when you hit a wall without effect). It was so horripilous that I thought firstly to delete it, thus I had the idea to lower it by 50%, which is the less that I had to do to make it acceptable...

- Map01: I had to rise the ceiling upon the first monster (which is not really a monster but a creature helping you), so that its head was no more stucked in it...
         I had also to make such a work for the second sprite (a sort of spacial motor), which was stucked in the ceiling. Now, it appears... "normally", and it's on a better support (surprise...)

I have also improved this map, using some of the awesome Zdoom's features. Now, you have more job to do, and the switch is used for something, instead of being there for nothing. There is no battle, no monster appart the worm, your boss, but it was funny to study what could be done to improve this map. I hope to have succeeded!!!

I have applied the changes for the chair of the worm on Map03, Map06, Map08 and Map10 (with the slopes and all the cool stuff, like the lightings for the Map10).

Here is how it was looking like before my work: the sprites were stucked in the ceilings


and here is the first correction applied:


Here is the full screenshot for the worm, your "boss":


Then I tried to obtain a better result esthetically:


But I wasn't happy. So, I used slopes:


Once done, I worked on the spacial motor. Here is the very first result of my work:


But here also, I wasn't happy. So, I worked more on it:


What you have to know is that I created 4 triggers, all with an important necessity:
- one is lowering the platform, so that the motor is on the floor.
- one is opening the area where will be the motor
- one is moving it there.
- one is making it operative

I made also a work on this hall, so that it's now
really lighted.

Additionnally, for the pleasure, I created an opened small room (where is the candle). It has its purpose, because you will find another opened room where was the Freenman's engine before his flight over the galaxy. So, on the level, the 2 Freeman's rooms are opened.

I didn't make any other work, all being as fine as possible, even if I had to use the "God" mode to bypass some monsters, like the final spider.
What?... No, I'm absolutely not ashamed to have used this mode, as far as it was absolutely impossible to play it normally, like I have the use to do it (Skill 4, no cheat, no auto-aim)

Tool used

I didn't make any fondamental modifications of the levels, but adaptation, when needed, in order to obtain a full compatibility with OpenGl mode, and a debug for remaining problems. At least, you should not find that I made anything on it, and ALL the credit should be rewarded by the author.
I am only a supervisor, with the idea to let you think that the author made a good job with this wad!!! It's what he would have done if he had
