=========================================================================== Primary purpose : Single+Coop play =========================================================================== Title : Had Filename : HAD.WAD Release date : 17/03/2025 Author : Peccatum Mihzamiz Email Address : [redacted] Description : A short, punchy Doom I map. I tried to channel my inner 1994 a bit in making this one. Didn't necessarily succeed but had fun and learned a lot in the process :) Limit removing (-complevel 3) Additional Credits to : Music by Phoenyx. Bytefyre, my accomplice in this fun little gag. And Napsalm, our unknowing subject and in essence playtester. =========================================================================== I made a map in April of 2023 and then sent it, along with the following message to Bytefyre. - Hi Byte, I was wondering if you might like to participate in a little practical joke I came up with. I made a Doom I map and altered the dates on the file, so it reads as if created in 8-27-1994. When Naps plays it he'll immediately think it's fishy because it's very detailed and stuff, and when he gets to the end a Computer Area Map will reveal text on the map saying: "Naps, wake up, you are in Peccatum's map". [...]Could I send the file to you and ask you to pass it along to Naps, as a file that 'you have found somewhere in your old stash, it probably wasn't uploaded to de DSDA archive ever but it was a thing that went around back then'? - Bytefyre humored me and Napsalm played the map on stream. Napsalm was a good sport and indeed thought there was something slightly off when a trap or two felt 'too modern' for 1994. Good fun, thanks guys! Just to be absolutely clear: I used some kind of software to alter the date of the wad file to 1994. I only used it for that one time and have no idea anymore what the software was. My PC has since then broken and I don't feel like downloading it again to change it back. I added the music track 'Myoclonus' by Phoenyx from the Cyberdreams MIDI pack in March of 2025, added and ENDOOM and shipped it like that. Thank you for the lovely music Phoenyx! =========================================================================== * What is included * New levels : 1 Sounds : No Music : No Graphics : No Dehacked/BEX Patch : No Demos : No Other : No Other files required : None * Play Information * Game : DOOM Map # : E1M1 Single Player : Designed for Cooperative 2-4 Player : Designed for Deathmatch 2-4 Player : Player starts only Other game styles : - Difficulty Settings : Yes, implemented * Construction * Base : New from scratch Build Time : About 7 hours Known Bugs : The blue key bars tend to be troublesome * Copyright / Permissions * Authors (may NOT) use the contents of this file as a base for modification or reuse.
