================================================================ Title : Castle Grayskull Filename : GRAYSKL1.MAP Author : Eswill Theron Email Address : paulvz@cyberserv.co.za Misc. Author Info : Doom Level Master. Started creating DN3D levels by kicking off with Grayskull. I live in South Africa in Transvalia Highschool, 16 year old boy. Description : A complex castle on an alien planet, occupied by evil creatures. A tough level, certainly not for first time Duke players. It took me 46 minutes to complete the first time..... Additional Credits to : Firstly Ken Silverman for the most awesome, yet simple editor yet. Thanx. Secondly Brett Gmoser for his Mozt Exczellenty Map Faq! Thirdly Paul van Zyl for putting the map on the Net, recieving my E-Mail and for being a great contact. Last but not least myself, creating this realm on imagination, three months of Building. Fourthly my lousy brother for test- playing it (and test-dying). STORY: At the centre of the universe, at the border between the dark and the light stands Castle Grayskull. For countless ages the Sorceress of Grayskull has kept this universe in harmony. But the armies of Darkness do not rest, and the capture of Grayskull has been ever most in their mind. For those who control Grayskull comes the Power. The power to be supreme, the power to be almighty, the power to be Masters of the universe. The mighty coup of Skeletor, Lord of Destruction has fallen long ago. The hero, He-Man, frogotten. But now a new enemy has arrived. One so strong that Eternia called the universe for help. And now planet Earth has sent her best: you! You have travelled down to the slained planet, ventured to the Castle. The jaw bridge was opened, for the creatures have seized the Sword of Grayskull. As you enter, the misty odour of evil surrounded you, phantoms lurked in the shadows. Now you enter the creepyness, dropped your shotgun as the jaw bridge slammed shut. No turning back now, no He-Man stuff. Its you and them. Time to free Eternia once more from the hold of evil. Time to discover the deadly secrets of Castle Grayskul. BUILDING: I have worked for nearly three months on this map, giving you a 244K level. I had to use Gmoser's Map Faq to learn stuff, it's quite a big help. I already made some great DOOM levels, but they can't compare to this one. I am proud of Grayskull, because it isn't only one tough puppy, it's also extremely beautiful. I impressed myself with the first room, and with the Throne Room. I made it out of green alien stuff, as well as Hi-Tech Space rooms. The cartoon's castle mainly existed of medi-eval themes. The movie con- tained computers as well. I mixed these, using my imagination. TIPS: 1. Be carefull of red lights. 2. Be carefull at streams. 3. Be carefull of holes in the ground. 4. Watch out for cracks - lovely C9 tricks. 5. Save reguraly. 6. Use your jetpack sparingly. 7. Save your ammo! 8. Look for light affected water and walls. 9. Save reguraly - again. 10. Have fun exploring. FUTURE PLANS: Grayskull isn't finished. Be on the lookout for Grayskull 2. It will con- tain some new smart graphics and sounds. I already have these, but still need to figgure out how to put them into the level. I need some tips wether people like the Medi-eval/alien stuff or rather have Earth things like houses or so. I prefer alien crap - it can be more creepy. LAW STUFF AND COPYRIGHT: The Castle contains no ideas from the movie or the cartoon. Except for the jaw brigde, but that's general knowledge. Please don't use the level for a base. In any case, its too big. You'll need a Cray Supercomputer to add some more thigs. Still, it's my ideas. Be bright and create your own maps. There went a lot of effort into this map. Please give it to friends, I don't want money, I enjoy making levels. You should try it yourself, if you haven't realised the power you get from it. Now go gettem! -Eswill Theron. ================================================================
