Help me find this PWAD

I'm looking for a certain PWAD, but I don't remember what it was called, or who made it.

The main thing I remember about it was the custom sky. It was this weird lunar mountain range (the mountains didn't look normal) with kind of a blue outer space field behind it. I think this sky might also have been used in one of the Massmouth levels later on.

The level itself was a military/starbase styled level, mostly grey textures as I recall. I also remember some moderately large (not huge) open, outdoor areas.

I also think it used some rather out of place Quake sounds effects, but I'm not totally sure of that.

Anyone know what PWAD this is?

This might be Scott Lampert's "Rigel 1". Even if it isn't that one, check it out anyway.. It's a good (and overlooked) map!

Speaking of Scott Lampert, I like the way he designed his maps; the two he did for "Memento Mori" (maps 20 and 27) are both outstanding.

Rigel1 is one of my absolute favourite old maps (one of my first demos - and the first on which I worked really hard - was on that map), but I didn't recognize it (or anything else in particular, I'm afraid) from the description.

I would expect a DWer to recall first and foremost that Rigel1 has the old Post Hell music, and maybe that lifts seem to say "thank you" when you use them. And the delightful way it sprays archies all over the map. :)

Hm.. well, maybe it's not the right one. But it did have:

* Custom sky texture with mountains and (light) blue sky

* A military base style (with marble thrown in)

* Mostly greyish texturing

* Two interconnected outdoor areas, not huge but not cramped either.

* Out of place sound effects (whether or not they're from Quake I have no idea).

Hm.

Rigel1 seems good... of course it does get better if you remove the lousy sounds and change the dissonant music.

That sounds like the sky used for amievil.

But it seems like you're looking for something else maybe...

I didn't notice the lousy music... I never play with music. But the sounds aren't too good.. the first time I played it I thought the lift sound was a modified monster sound, so it freaked me out when I was roaming about looking for non-existant monsters... :-)

Mayhap it could be Michael Krause's Moon2000. He is known for using Quake sounds and making extremely oversized buildings.

This appears to be the one. Thanks to all who responded.

Link for everyone who read the end of this thread but couldn't be bothered to find a link to the map

Dark blue sky textures + oversized architecture = well worth the download
