Misc. Author Info : I'm the inventor of the clear-water effect,
get the tutorial at Dukeworld.
Also, the 3d controllable ladders, the
SE-less portals, the 3D switches, and many other
revolutionary effects.
Other Levels : hundreds, but I've only RELEASED Bobsp1.map,
and my excellent DM map, Halflife.map.
Description : The story; The story is that while boating off the
Coast of Japan, your boat hit a jagged coral and
started to take on water. You are too far from shore
to make it in time, and these waters are widely
reknown for their abundance of Sharks, made hostile
towards humans by being constantly hunted for their
meat, a delicacy. Unfortunately, to them, YOU are
the delicacy. Suddenly you hear a faint "S....O....S"
on your radio; your cheapass radio only has a 6-mile
radius, and only manned installations give off SOS
signals, so you know now that there is dry land
somewhere within a 6-mile radius. After careful
triangulation, you race off at North/NorthEast, the
water up to your knees, sharks following your boat like
Vultures following a dying animal. The water is
waist-deep, and you see an island in the distance; no
trees or grass, just a huge installation takes up almost
every square foot of the land. You read the sign;
"Ya-Kanjii Nuclear Power Plant". Your boat hits shore,
and you leap out, The boat submerges completely, and
frusturated sharks swarm around it beneath the waves,
pissed-off at having barely missed a meal. It isnt
raining, but black clouds take up the sky; a huge storm
is coming. To avoid the storm, you find the front door of
the facility mysteriously unlocked, and make your way in;
You may be stranded, but you'll be DAMNED if youre gonna
get rained on. However, you immeditately noticed somthing
is wrong; The place is boarded-up, abandoned, you had
thought; and yet SOMEONE has activated a computer
terminal, and some of the lights, which were flickering;
maybe power-flow issues; you use the Ancient
Green-Screen Computer Terminal to determine what the
source of the power fluctiations is, and why the
alarm is sounded; To your dismay, You learn that the
Central Nuclear Reactor has only hours until it melts
down, due to seemingly deliberate tampering with the
power routers; The main reactors, though all online and
functioning, have been re-routed from the coolant pumps,
which are vital to preventing overheating of the core,
to an unkown destination somewhere in the complex.
It is obvious that someone is here with you; and
they're trying to cause a meltdown that will not only
kill you, but everyone on the coast, and inland for
quite a ways. You immediatley set to work fixing the
damage the mysterious vandal has done, knowing that
everyone's lives depend on you.
Additional Credits To : Ikka Keranen, for inspiring me to make all my
maps above and beyond any map anyone's ever seen
before, and for the folks at the JSBUILD forum,
for playtesting my maps and boosting my ego. ;)
======================================================================
* Play Information *
Episode and Level # : It only works that way in DooM, stupid.
Single Player : Yes of course.
DukeMatch 2-8 Player : No, it is slanted for single-player only.
Cooperative 2-8 Player : No, that wouldn't really work.
Difficulty Settings : It's pretty much all puzzles, so that doesnt apply.
New Art : No, but you'll think there is.
New Music : Nah
New Sound Effects : Nope. I never put extra files in my levels;
I like to show what can be done with regular old BUILD.
=====================================================================
* Construction *
Base : Made from scratch, that's how REAL mappers do it.
Level Editor(s) Used : BUILD. (why do they even ask?)
Art Editor(s) Used : None.new art is for wussies who can't make the most
of the art that comes with the game.
Construction Time : I don't know. Time flies when I'm mapping. ;)
Known Bugs/Problems : None.
* Where to get this MAP file *
File location : If you have the text file, you have the map.
=====================================================================
*Important Information*
Installation : None. My maps dont have any extra files, remember?
everything is done with plain old BUILD.
Important Notes : Please people, I made this map and started the
Bobsp series because there are nothing but crappy
maps out there. Put EFFORT into your maps, dont think
that BUILD has limits, simply form a mental image of
the place you want to make as if it were real, then
build it in every detail; don't stop adding details,
shading/shadows, and tweaking textures until it looks
EXACTLY like what you pictured. Make maps as if
you're mapping for UnReal; dont think that since
BUILD is old that it cant look better than the game
levels; it can look damn good, and be interactive
in ways other games can't touch, and my maps are
proof. Be inspired, and make maps that are better
looking and more intercative than anything you've
played, and dont settle for anything less than perfect.
