Title : Blockade Runner & The Death Star
Filename : STARWAR4.WAD

Misc. Author Info : junior MIS major at University of Dayton
Description : STAR WARS DOOM!!! Based on blueprints of
sets built for the movie and as well as
information contained in the SW RPG. These
are four of many Star Wars levels I am
hoping to do, and I have replaced some of
these levels' textures with my own. I will
be replacing MANY more of these in the next
edition. Any switches found in turbolifts
are endlevel switches. Doors needing keys
aren't marked by colors primarily because I
wanted the levels to look as much like the
movies as possible.
-----> If the game runs too slowly, just run an

IMPORTANT!-----> monsters (they slow down slower machines).
-----> This isn't as bad as it used to be now that
-----> I'm using a newer reject compiler.

=======================================================================
LEVEL ONE: PRINCESS LEIA'S BLOCKADE RUNNER DECKS 1 & 2
Your ship has been boarded and captured by Imperial forces. You
are the only Rebel left who hasn't been killed or taken prisoner.
It's up to you to set the ship's self destruct system and escape,
but first you must make your way to the lower decks of the ship.
The turbolifts will take you between the two decks. I took the
general layout of the ship from the RPG Rebel Alliance Sourcebook.
LEVEL TWO: PRINCESS LEIA'S BLOCKADE RUNNER DECKS 3 & 4
You must enter the engine's accessways and activate the blockade
runner's auto-destruct sequence. Having done this, you must now
escape the ship before it blows by using one of the escape pods.
As before, I used the RPG Sourcebook for the general layout of
these decks
LEVEL THREE: DEATH STAR CHASM AND TECHNICAL STATIONS
You have to make your way to the turbolifts to reach the detention
level. The only problem is there are tons of Imperials all about
you! Included in this level is the chasm Luke and Leia swang
across, the elevators Luke, Han, and Chewie entered on their way
to the detention level, as well as the large corridor with the
blast doors. The blueprints covered 1/6 of the level, so I had to
make up the rest. I'm sorry I haven't done any new textures for
the Death Star levels yet, I will be working on them before I
create any more levels.
LEVEL FOUR: DEATH STAR DETENTION LEVEL AND SECURITY STATION
You force your way into the detention level, but if things get a
little too rough, you can escape into the trash compactor. In the
course of things, you raid a security station (from the RPG).
I copied some of the sections for deathmatch reasons.
HINT: follow Leia's technique on getting to the trash compactor
HINT: there is a secret switch that reveals the switch to open the
compactor door

Known Bugs : DO NOT SAVEGAME IN LEVELS 2 & 4! The large

the savegame buffer. If you die, it's still
