Description:	This wad, called "The Hub" is the also the third level of the "Descent Into Hell" megawad project I'm working on. The merged wad (level 3) will have slightly different mixture of of weapons, etc... because the player has weapons and ammo and health already. I decided, however, to release it as a wad on its own as well.
Credits:	...Nick Baker - who released his texture wad for public use (text file included from the original zipped file). ....Ace - for playtesting
Base:	New level from scratch
Build time:	2 months more or less
Editor(s) used:	DETH
Bugs:	None that I know of. Extensively tested using Legacy, Zdoom, Prboom and Jdoom. It also worked fine with Vavoom. I did not test it with zdoomgl or legacygl but since it worked with Jdoom I assume it will work with them as well. I recommend Jdoom - there is no better looking port out there. Vanilla Doom2 will most likely crash with a visplane error after the blue door. If you want to use it tho - after you hit the switch (you'll know) back out of the area. If you turn around you WILL get a visplane error. * Misc. Notes *

Anonymous	Too many teleport "traps". It just sucks if you know that crap will happen but you can't use your weapons..	x
Anonymous	I agree that Bloodworks was better. The monsters teleporting into the first room if one uses a weapon... What's the purpose of this? Oh, maybe the reasion is that you're in hell... Why doesn't it look like hell then? This map looks like a lot of different rooms have just been thrown together in order to form... errr... something. Sorry, but NO. -- 1/5	x
Anonymous	Pretty map, Challenging gameplay. Cool ambient Sounds.	x
Anonymous	Oh come on it's no where near that bad	x
Anonymous	Quality was to be seen in his last map, Buldwrks. But that is nowhere to be seen here. Absolutely Horrible Horrible Horrible!!	x

 * Misc. Notes *

I put a couple of 3d effects into this which made Edge useless. It was designed for play with Ultra Violence on!
It has lesser difficulty levels but I didn't bother testing them.

Authors may NOT use this file as a base for additional
levels. Build your own damn levels!
The textures used came from a file called nb5texd2.wad
I have modified that original texture wad with my own custom textures so don't take the textures from this wad.
If you want the original texture.wad you can find it here: http://haunt.8m.com/

* The Story
You are on a quest to reach the very bowels of Hell itself and Hell isn't happy about it!

* Where to get this WAD *

the idgames ftp software sites
unfortunately, with time, urls change so if you can't find me there just do a search on the net for Doom Wad Station.
