Are there any single-player levels with no monsters? Or, maybe, with monsters that don't attack you.

In answer to the SECOND part of your question (monsters which don't attack), have a look at ars_sml.zip

You'll need to run the wad through BSP (-noreject) to get rid of the wicked HOM. If you don't use -noreject then you'll clobber the existing reject map which stops the monsters from attacking you.

I'm pretty sure it in the Adults-only area of

Why?, you can just type -nomonster when you launch the wad.
Or if you really want, just take them out with an editor.
Or launch a -DEH file that makes all monsters not attack you,
you can even make it so that they don't move either.

No, I mean levels, for whatever reason _intentionally designed_ to have no monsters in them. Sick as it may sound.

I do. I haven't released it yet. It's this really weird Doom1 map (episode 3-style) that I made out of a Doom dream I had one night. It's purposely got weird tricks and traps and secrets and stuff. It's one of those things you can kinda get lost in (at least for me, I dunno how many other people would care for it.)

I think he may mean single player levels that were actually designed to be played without monsters. It's a strange notion, but it actually has been done! Notably in two of the best wads ever made. Aliens TC and Chris Lutz's Inferno.

Umm..heh. :-\ ars_sml is definitely weird :)
But these two are multiplayer levels (if levels at all :)) What i meant is a _playable_ single-player level w/o monsters.
I want to write one myself actually, so I was wondering what have been done before me :)
