Welcome to Doomed in SPACE! The year is 2088. The UAC's current goal is to remove the line that separates men from machines. Certain undesirables are sacrificed, analyzed and experimented on for the sake of progress. The promise to integrate more effective weaponry directly into the human body keeps the research funds flowing in. You are one of the UAC's victims - a genetically modified bounty hunter. You were stolen from your home colony as a child but proved harder to control than most of their young test subjects. Using your increased speed and strength, you managed to kill the men guarding your cell and escape in a stolen shuttlecraft. That was 18 years ago. Crime is the only means of survival you have ever known. Once again, you find yourself locked in a cell, at the mercy of the UAC. An armed medic comes through the door and into your cell. As he checks your vitals, you quickly grab his head and snap his neck. His body lies on the floor and the gun is now in your hand - It's time to escape. Important notes: You MUST play with freelook ON. Jumping and crouching must be turned OFF. You must also turn the 'infinitely tall actors' flag OFF, as there are several 3D bridges used throughout. Difficulty levels have been very thoroughly implemented, so if you're finding the maps too hard or too easy, simply adjust accordingly. Levels designed by: Doomkid, Crunchynut44, Pinchy, Nevander, Bootleg Guy, Angry Saint, Fred512, Empyre, UberGewei and Mosshopper Graphic resources: Obake (Wavegunner), Doom64, Duke Nukem 3D, Strife, Wolf3D, Star Wars: Dark Forces, area51.wad, equinox.wad, anubis.wad, skulltag.wad, Complex Doom, ChaosCore CTF (Map10 sky), Xaser ~ Special Info ~ Since you actually bothered to read the text file, I'll let you in on a couple secrets. In multiplayer, if you select the 'easy' or 'medium' difficulty levels, you will be faced with an entirely different arrangement of monsters, far more imposing! Hopefully this will allow your survival or co-op sessions to be fresh a second time around. There are also two hidden maps in this wad, at slots 31 and 32. They were created by myself and Joe-ilya. They are not a part of the official campaign and can only be accessed in game by cheating, but they seemed too good to simply discard. Just a little bonus for those of you who dig a tiny bit deeper than the others. If you enjoy Doomed in SPACE, please be sure to let us know on the Doom forum of your choice. Everyone who worked to make this project possible would love to hear your thoughts.

Threshold of Pain is a ZDoom episode which attempts to recreate the look and feel of Midway's famous PSX conversion of Doom whilst maintaining the core elements of the PC versions and a level of difficulty PC players would expect. PSX Doom fans will know that ToP gets its name from the final level of PSX Ultimate Doom. Like many others, my first proper Doom experience was on the Playstation, so when fenderc01 released the PSX TC last year I was excited to get to play these levels again, only this time with PC controls! Whilst he did an amazing job, I found it to be way too easy, even on UV setting. This was not fender's fault, merely a testament to the compromises Midway had to make in bringing such a game to a console. ToP attempts to redress the balance whilst maintaining the brooding atmosphere that Midway brought to the game. It is NOT a PSX TC - many features which were missing from the Playstation remain, so expect to encounter the Archvile! This is my first real attempt at a releasable WAD, so I wasn't too concerned with highly detailed levels, more on decent gameplay, set pieces, and a few puzzles. That said, I have tried to make them look halfway-decent, despite the coloured lights :P New features include: Tons of coloured lighting, but nothing too garish. The infamous PSX burning sky, given a ZDoom makeover. PSX/N64 audio. New Weapons - the Minigun and the Unmaker. The PSX Final Doom SSG. A new powerup - the Doomsphere. New monsters - the nightmare class monsters from PSX Doom and Doom64, a handful from the Realm667 Bestiary and ZDCMP, plus a new final boss... A few other PSX/N64-style gameplay tweaks.

Two levels for 'advanced' MBF compatible ports. YOU HAVE TO USE "-COMPLEVEL 11" WITH GLBOOM-PLUS. DO NOT TRY IT WITH "-COMPLEVEL 9". You need a MBF compatible OpenGL port with support of hi-res textures in wads, MUSINFO lump, tall patches, and music in OGG format. Currently there are only two ports which can handle this wad correctly: GLBoom-Plus 2.5.1.2 and GZDoom SVN build rev. 1266 (http://svn.drdteam.org) or higher. Risen3D will probably be able to handle this wad starting from the next release (2.2.13 or higher). Command line: glboom-plus vg.wad -complevel 11. Textures and sprites: Outlaws, NOLF2, Hexen2, Blood, Pain Killer, Realm667, Doom64, SNtex, Duke3D, American McGee's Alice, Urban Terror, DM-RealManor UT map by Angelheart. Sky on map02 has been taken from the "The Eiger Sanction" film. Horse sprites have been made from free 3D model by animella. Sound: Blood, Doom3. Music: American McGee's Alice, Johnny Cash. Most of the borrowed textures have been reworked, many have been taken from the net & some are self made.
