Title : The Vilecore
Filename : vilcore1.0.WAD
Author : Darren Finch A.K.A: Doom_Dude
Email Address : doom_dude@inbox.net / doomdude@globalkore.co
Web Site : http://megawad.newdoom.com/
Update Info : Fixed major bug in map30: Battle Hex. Bug effect was apparent when using the Doomsday (JDoom) port which hindered the players progress because of 'trigger close door' tags on a teleport destination that had trig tags of O. Thanx to Deathgiver for spotting it. :) Also ran the latest ZenNode over it to kill any graphical errors that did appear in some maps because I used DoomCad's crappy nodesbuilder on the original release. Also fixed map32: The Vilecore where you had to 'jump' into the alcove to get the key and jump back out again by making alcoves into platforms. The doors is also shootable from both sides now..
Misc. Author Info : This 32 level Megawad is my first completed editing project. It started
way back in May 99. Needless to say, I wasn't working on it steady for all this time, but I did spend a ton of hours putting it all together. On December 23rd of 2000 I laid the last linedef in Vilecore :)
Description : More DOOM II:
Special Thanks to : ID SOFTWARE for creating the best of games.
Thanx also to Matt Tagliaferri for Doomcad and Hank Leukart for writing the Doom Hackers Guide. Thanx to Phoebus for hosting my website. Thanks to Zack for helping me figure out how the "Donut" trigger works and reminding me exactly where the secret switches are in DooM II. Thanx to Don Incognito for making the deh file that replaces the DooM II map names, with my map names in the auto-map jobby. Thanx to Looney2ner for all sorts of stuff. Thanx to Stphrz for suggesting I get a website online to show people my megawad in progress. Thanx to my brother Kevin who brought home DooM.

By Darman Macray · PostedThese levels are short, sweet, and pack a lot of punch. Complete with a humorous end-text-screen containing a healthy dose of silly shock-humor, this is a masterful triumph of Heretic map-making, and most certainly a must-play wad.
By Walter confetti · PostedA really frantic and fun DM map with pretty neat stuff like invisible pillar in the middle of the arena, doesn't have anything to do with the title but the level can become a BFG spamming fest soon, especially with bots. Less fun in SP but the arch-ville+bunch of nazi combo is a nice feat.
By Fireseth · PostedOnly six enemies (played on UV) and no working exit. Other than that, it is a pretty detailed map for 1995. I enjoyed the general design and the poisonous vats of acid. Very cool, but not practical for good gameplay. EDIT: Just discovered this is a ideally a DM wad… haha, for that purpose, it seems good. My original rating was 2/5, will change it now.
By CravenCoyote · PostedLots of traps and monster closets. Some switches are activated by shooting but there's nothing to really tell you about this because they look the same as other switches. Texturing is good and enemy placement proved rather difficult at times. There aren't may health pickups on UV so it was a fight to get through.
By costadevale · PostedIt's pretty good for 1994. If you don't mind having no health items at all (except in a few maps) and the outrageous amounts of cyberdemons per map, you should give it a try. It's pretty challenging and I like it. E2M3 is a bit 'eh...' though.
