====================================================================== Title : Cruise Author : John David Quartararo (Age:14) Filename : Cruise.zip E-mail : jquartar@hotmail.com Web Page : None (I'm still figuring out Build, let alone HTML or whatever it is!) If you really want to see some cool Duke pages, though, go to www.dn3d.com, www.dukeworld.com,www.gamerscity.com, or www.geocities.com/~elek/duke.html, the official page of the incredible user map Dharga! Note : Atomic Edition (or PP) required and at least a Pentium to play. (Because of all those dang sprites!) Description : After destroying all those aliens, Duke decides to take a vacation. So, he goes on a cruise, when all of a sudden, the ship crashes into something. Duke makes his way up to the captain's part of the ship, and looks on a map. "Ancient mayan civilization", it says. Duke then hears a scream, and knows something has invaded the ship through the broken hull, from whatever is down there. This level takes place on a cruise ship, complete with three decks, and then two or three mayan parts, which take place in ancient civilizations under the ocean. I spent a long time making this level, so I hope you like it! (The level looks cool in Build, too. Go to the mayan areas and look at them in BUILD. I wouldn't want to do all that work again. If you do look at it in BUILD, you'll see many areas and sprites that have no purpose, I just didn't want to delete them because I didn't know how they were affecting the level, and if I would ruin anything if I did delete them.) Additional Credits to : Bob Wyman, my friend, who first of all, began teaching me how to use a computer almost 5 years ago, and who also showed me how awesome Duke3D was, after I had dismissed it as just another "doom clone." A big thank-you to Brett Gmoser for his awesome BUILD Help file, MapFaq. Even more thanks to Robert Travis (Don't worry, Travis, you don't know me) for his inspiration for the Mayan part of my level. (From his Aztec level.) Also, the third deck down was strongly influenced by a level called Cloktowr. I don't know who made it, but it rocks! My biggest thanks to Elek Mathe for coaching me through the process of getting a level ready for Internet release! I really appreciated ther help, Elek, if you read this. Other Levels by me : Well, I made two levels before this, Garden and Jungle, and I sent them to two or three web pages, but they really aren't that good, (They make no real use of SEs), so I don't expect anyone two find these two **early** maps. Misc. auhor info : Um.. this is my first good map, and this is the only program I have ever made any kind of level before. Build is a first for me. What else... I'm 14 years old and love computers.... LOVE getting E-mail, positive or negative... and won't make another level for while because I'm doing some claymation at school.. that's it... ====================================================================== * Play Information * Episode and Level # : I don't know. It's just a level that leads into the Launch Facility. Single Player : Yes Co-op : Yes DukeMatch Level : Yes, I made it compatible with DM, and did that little thing where extra areas open up in Multiplayer, but the level really isn't designed for DM. If an DM does occur in Cruise, expect it to be a bloody one, since I added loads of items. Since you are reading this, I'llgive you a tip; Look in the water! TONS of items. Difficulty Settings : Not implemented, but the level itself is kinda' easy. I'm going to say sorry for making it easy up front to calm down all those experts out there who were expecting this to be a hard level. Even though it's easy, it's fun, so give it a whirl, would you? :) Plutonium Pack/Atomic : Required New Art : No New Sound : No New Music : No New CON Files : No Demos replaced : No * Construction * Base : New level from scratch Editor(s) used : Let me think... Known Bugs : Nothing serious. Shoot the sky on the top deck with a pistol or shotgun, and see the wierd, annoying stuff I didn't know how to fix. There's also a bug that I have no idea on how to fix. When you go to the rear section of the top deck, sometimes weird sound FX will show up, like a car crash or dog yelping. Strange! I don't know of any more, so you're on your own! Also, you can see the bridge from the inside of the top deck. BUILD bug, not mine!!! Time Spent on Level : 1 1/2 months. Probably over 90 hours. *** Where to get this MAP file *** FTP sites: None I know of Web Sites: Hopefully http://www.geocities.com/~elek/duke.html and http://www.gamerscity.com. Maybe you'll see it on http://www.dukeworld.com or http://www.dn3d.com!!!! BBS numbers: " " Other: If you want it, E-Mail me. I'll send it to you, but if you have this, then you already have CRUISE! ***Installation*** Copy into Duke directory, change to Duke directory in DOS and type; duke3d -map cruise Inprotant Notes : This level is so good, it's sickening!! ;) ===========================================================================
