vary strang take a look

For heaven's sake. Nightmares of Loki was awful, and this is awful too. The installation procedure overwrites some of Jdoom's setup files; there's no uninstaller, so you have to manually delete a bunch of files; the new graphics are crude and child-like; and the level is just a mass of unintuitive switch hunts in a big maze. If this has been eleven years in the making then the author is wasting his life. The music is surprisingly decent, but sounds very dated, like a Shamen b-side from 1990.

* Important Notes *
loki's realm was started 8 years ago and finished once in 1999 
as 'nightmares of loki.' now... its back under more heavy construction 
with hi-res graphics, more detail, MP3 music soundtrack, full 3d 
models (instead of cheap sprites) and a completely new plot (that 
wasn't thought up as-written in "dehacked" in less than 2 minutes, 
more like 2 months off and on, and its still not finished)

Enjoy and Thanks!

Step 2 1/2. Sky flaw error
ok its uploaded and i can't overwrite it : (~
there's just one tiny problem with the level that ONLY
matters if you want to see the blue sky instead of the orange sky
reason: this map WAS map05 but i changed it to map01 for easier play
as a demo level, but map01 is set to sky1, not sky2
if you're familiar with jdoom, all you have to do is change
sky1 to sky2 in map01
if you're not... here goes: (note: this is completely optional)

2 1/2 - 1. go to the DEFS/JDOOM directory
      - 2. open "maps.ded" with notepad (or wordpad if too big)
      - 2. find the map settings for MAP01
      - 2. change the sky from sky1 to sky2
      - 5. save it, now go back up to step 3
