------------------ FREON 3: Fragus Maximus Ultimatus ------------------ Title : Freon 3: Fragus Maximus Ultimatus... heh Filename : FREON3.WAD (Doom ][ levels) Author : Victor Hall Email Address : freon@fwi.com (please email comments!) Misc. Author Info : I'm a fifteen year-old Doomer. I AM -NOT- an amatuer WAD builder. I KNOW what I'm doing. Other WAD's by author : FREON.WAD - not internet released FREON2.WAD FREONSND.WAD - The sounds that were going to be in FREON3, but the file size was get- ting too big. Description : Begins where FREON2 left off, but with better levels, design, multi-mode support. A fun set of 4 deathmatch levels. All are fun, small, and best with 2 to 3 players. See below for individual descriptions... -> Level 6 is a copy of level 6 from FREON2, but I added an exit and made MINOR changes. You can now play FREON2 and 3 straigt through as a 9 level deathmatch fest. Also, the point of team deathmatch in level 6 is for the invading team to exit the level. Co-op makes for a good 2-on-2 game. DM for free for all. Additional Credits to : Tas II for beta testing earlier versions, and winning on a beta of level 8. BTW, Tas, it was 25-28, you. -Id- Software of course, for making a kick ass game that allows you to make levels, graphics, sounds, music, and dehacked... um.. oops! The makers if the following programs: DCK2.2 - to make the levels, DCK rocks! Fast, powerful, awesome. Wintex/Deutex - to put the TITLEPIC in. RMB2.1 - reject table. This aids co-op and single players speed by 10%-20%. Much better than Reject 1.1. Improces v4.2 - This is a great powerful image editor. Unfortunantely only saves GIF and PCX. *************************** Play Information ************************** Level # : Maps 7 through 9 < Doom ][ > Single Player : *Yes, levels 6, 8, 9 quite fun! Cooperative 2-4 Player : *Yes, levels 6, 8, 9 Deathmatch 2-4 Player : YES! That's definately the MAIN purpose. Difficulty Settings : Yes - more goodies on easier skill. Less monsters too. New Sounds : -Released seperately to keep file size down FREON3SND.ZIP New Graphics : Yes, TITLEPIC, modified version Dehacked Patch : -Will be released seperately later: FREONDEH.ZIP New Music : No, but I'm working on some MIDI's for later. Demos Replaced : No, but look out for some in the future at ftp.cdrom.com/.2/idgames/lmps/doom2/1.9 or some odd directory like that. ********************* Descriptions for each level ********************** Levels 1-5: FREON2.WAD You can play them both for a long deathmatch game. FREON2 includes level 6, but it had no exit, so I added level 6 to FREON3, etc - read below. Level 6: A slightly redone version of level 6 from FREON2. I added an exit and gave the invading team more ammo, and the defending team less cells. Heard it was too hard for the invading team even on lower skill levels. Difficulty determines how hard it is for the invading team to overtake and exit the level. Defending team has to stop them. Skill also determines one player difficulty. Monsters added, too. Use co-op 4 player for team deathmatch, or try your own ideas. Many minor changes, to speed it up and help the invading team. Level 7: A remake of the original level 7. It's really cool. Trust me. Not suitable for one player or co-op. It works, but there are no monsters. Maybe play it co-op or one player to "gear up" for level 8. Too bad level 8 becomes too easy when you get all the guns... :( But hey, these levels are made for deathmatch. One player and co-op comes after. Level 8: A small level, that looks really awesome. It's very small and enclosed, so hope you're not homophobic or whatever that word is. Lots of skill is involved in this level. You don't have to worry much about guns, because there are plenty and you get a free wuss shotgun. Also a blast one player. I'd say too easy co-op. Level 9: My DANZIG wanna-be level. Used the technique of wrapping textures A LOT to make rounded realistic walls. Looks good, plays great. Difficulty settings affect gameplay. Use 1+2 for DM 1.0, use 3 for DM 2.0, and 4+5 to access the big guns. Also affects one player/co-op. Skill 4+5 give you a cool level 30 sorta battle. On 4+5 co-op OR dm, you must shoot the J. Romero head that's outside. ***************************** Construction ***************************** Base : New levels, from scratch Time building : I actually stop watched myself... yeah right. 5 hours on level 7, 10 on level 10, 20 on levels 8 and 9 EACH. Editor(s) used : DCK2.2 for levels, RMB2.1 for reject. Improces v4.2 to edit the titlepic. PSP 3.0 to mess up the titlepic's colors up so it looks like shit. Damn thing can't do filters in 8-bit. Even Improces does... Known Bugs : 100% secrets on level 9 seems impossible even if you do go into all the secrets. Level 9 has been known to cause seizures in the weak of deathmatch. Level 7 has been known to kill BFG wusses over and over in the crusher. I love that! ------------------------* Copyright / Permissions *---------------------- Authors MAY use this level as a base to build additional levels.
