Description:	My latest Wad for HEXEN, complete w/scripts, This is a complete five level hub. (Plus a secret 6th level) I am kinda proud of the lighting effects and the work I did with the shadows. Believe it or not this started off as one level but got too slow, this forced me to turn it into a hub, and learn the scripting language. (AHHHHH! I still haven't figured it all out). It was developed on a 486DX-40 (running at 50) with a Trident 1 meg video card (ISA). And 20 meg of ram The sound card was a Sound Blaster 2.0. It runs great on my AM5x86-133 w/ a Diamond Stealth 64 2meg vram, AWE32, and 20 meg of ram. It still may run a little slow on slower machines. At least until you kill off the geeks. IMHO, this wad kicks ass. I still don't consider it to be done, but realise that I could twiddle with it forever.

Base:	New level from scratch
Build time:
Editor(s) used:	DCK3.4, Zennode
Bugs:	One or two that I just can't seem to track down. Nothing big. I would appreciate any feedback on any of the little critters (bugs) you run across, especially if you know how to solve them.

Not the worst but quite poor none the less. The level design tries to be interesting at times, but it's overall pretty noobish, and the item placement is far too generous--once you're stocked up, you can spam your ultimate weapon more or less to your heart's content as long as you remember to chug the kraters.

                          or -warp, or id's DM)
Single Player           : Yes
Cooperative 2-8 Player  : Yes, I put in 8 player support but haven't tested it 
                          I've only got 4 people in my family with a 4 node 
                          network at home, and haven't tried v1.1 w/8 players 
                          yet. (at work of course!)
Deathmatch 2-8 Player   : Yes - See above, The flow of this wad was primarily
                          designed with single, or co-op playing in mind. The
                          individual maps though were designed with DEATHMATCH 
                          in mind, though I can't say where you'll wind up at.
                          Anybody that knows how to modify the map lump info 
                          could probably help me out and make the dm flow like
                          the coop and single player modes. If you can help me
                          out with this please e-mail me and I'll revise the
                          wad package.

how to use an editor, and learn how to script, and use your own creativity 
instead of ripping off someone elses work. No?, well it was just a suggestion 
anyway.
