It contains 40 maps from various authors, all of which differ in theme, layout, detail-level, gameplay, and atmosphere. There's lots of new content besides the 40+ maps...some of which is a new color palette, new skins and bots, new sound effects for the Doom 2 weapons, and many many more cool effects and content. I tend to think of it as a "add-on" wad for Skulltag. There are also 2 new weapons apart from Skulltag's; the NailGun and the Karasawa. NailGun: The NailGun is a diabolical weapon, feared by many demons and marines alike. It propells a spread of 5 razor sharp nails at an incredible velocity towards the intended target. Upon impact, the nails rip apart the flesh with ease, doing insane amounts of damage. However, with its shotgun spread, range is limited in that the farther the nails have to travel through the air, the bigger the spread, so it should be reserved for close range fighting to conserve ammo. Karasawa: The Karasawa High-Density Laser Rile [or just "Karasawa"] is a laser rife based off of the same technology used in the Plasma Rifle. However, unlike the Plasma Rifle, the Karasawa fires large fusing plasma bolts at a high velocity, doing moderate damage to the receiveing end. Due to the nature of the fusing plasma, it does not have a rapid fire capability like the Plasma Rifle, but it does do a respectable amount of damage-per-shot to balance that out. This weapon is best used in medium-to-long range battles. =========================================================================== * What is included * New levels : 40 +2 secret; +1 CREDIT Map Sounds : Yes Music : Yes Graphics : Yes Dehacked/BEX Patch : Yes Demos : Yes (CREDIT Map) Other : No Other files required : None * Play Information * Game : Doom 2 Map # : SMDM01 thru SMDM42 Single Player : No Cooperative 2-4 Player : No Deathmatch 2-4 Player : Definitly (that's what its designed for) Other game styles : Other Deathmatch variants (LMS, Duel, etc). Difficulty Settings : Only implemented with bots. * Construction * Base : New from scratch Build Time : 8 Months Editor(s) used : Doom Builder, SLADE, DeePSea, XWE, SLumpEd, GIMP 2.2, Gif Movie Gear, MSPaint, Audacity, ModTracker, Wad Cleaner Known Bugs : - There are some OpenGL bugs which include fubar'd skyboxes, weird rendering, and the lack of any horizon line rendering. However, this is a Skulltag 97c2 bug, and not the fault of SMDM. If a furture verison is released with the udpated ZDoomGL code, they will be fixed. - If you have annoucners in your /announcer folder, they can [and will] mess with the new sounds effects. Nothing can be done about this on my behalf, unfortunately. - Some bots may not be very compatible with some of the maps...however, all of the maps will still function with the bots to the point to where its playable. One map in particular is SMDM42. - The SPREAD Rune does not with with the new weapons. This is a Skulltag bug and not a SMDM bug, but I thought it was worth mentioning. May Not Run With... : Anything lower then Skulltag v97c3, 8 Track, w/o legs, your face. ============================================================================== Map Credits ============================================================================== Title: Author(s) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SMDM01: Rozencratz Mechadon SMDM02: At The Sabbath The DOS Guy SMDM03: The Hypostyle theshooter7 SMDM04: Holofernes Mechadon SMDM05: Digging Up The Corpses Lord-Belial & Mechadon SMDM06: Martyr Courtyard II The DOS Guy SMDM07: The Forgotten Ruins theshooter7 SMDM08: Weapons HQ Massacre doom_kid SMDM09: Gunznbludd Th0r SMDM10: Van Duesn's Lair The DOS Guy SMDM11: Pyrethrum II Mechadon SMDM12: E1M1337 The DOS Guy SMDM13: MarbHell Crash Man SMDM14: Neon City Rabbit lord SMDM15: The Core Mastan (main decor by Mechadon) SMDM16: Liquid Metal jimmy91 SMDM17: The Motherland The DOS Guy SMDM18: Cold Fusion Mechadon SMDM19: Sorrow Castle Siliconwolf SMDM20: Fortress of Doomkid doom_kid SMDM21: Heavy Metal Dread SMDM22: Polished Chrome The DOS Guy SMDM23: Jailhouse doom_kid SMDM24: Sector T7 theshooter7 SMDM25: Hang 'Em High Mechadon SMDM26: Doom II Arena jimmy91 SMDM27: Toxicold The DOS Guy SMDM28: Mini-Mayhem doom_kid SMDM29: Destination Teleportation Mastan SMDM30: The Dam sirtimberwolf SMDM31: Titanium Tide 1024 Mechadon SMDM32: Ad Infinitium jimmy91 SMDM33: Construction Zone doom_kid SMDM34: Damage Control jimmy91 SMDM35: Spirit Cave StrikerMan780 SMDM36: Enter the Void Mastan SMDM37: The Impregnable Domain Siliconwolf SMDM38: Belphegor's FFA Mechadon SMDM39: Heaven Torn Asunder Lord-Belial & Mechadon SMDM40: Speed of Hell Mechadon SMDM41: ?????????
