PATCH Authoring Template V1.0 ================================================================ Title : The Arch-Mage Filename : archmage.zip Author : "Jjukil" Date : 7-21-98 Email Address : Jjukil@aol.com Misc. Author Info : Author of many a Dragon Warrior fanfic. Check out: http://members.aol.com/DWFileC Also, author of many a Dehacked patch file-- hopefully more people'll notice that someday--all of which had the same sappy author info: ------ I exist. And existance is good. Unless you're near the Borg. Then existance is futile. Or is that resistance? Hmm... ------ ::vomits:: Well, no more...I've done too much to discredit myself with that...witness my (the?) last Dehacked work with that author info anywhere in it! (I'll pause and let the cheering subside.) Description : I hope you all have heard of D2xGold, but since you probably haven't, here goes: http://www.doomshack.com/doom2x This site will lead you to the original versions. Doom2x is a series of TCs involving Comtar of the X-world, who has taken over the Icon of Sin and is using that to take over the Earth. These TCs have their bad points--most stuff besides the Dehacked patches are reused, a lot of the graphics/sound replacements are kinda cheesy, the difficulty is unfathomable--but for all the series's bad points, D2xGold has at least one good point: the Technomage. This enemy has graphics and sounds reused from Hexen, but it's a completely new enemy that'll stick in your mind WAY more than that other mage. (What was its name? ) This is because the Dark Bishop's (oh yeah) graphics and sounds fit the Technomage's evil, frustrating nature. However, I know that few people know of D2xGold, and few have fought with this horrible entity. So, I've created this: the Arch-Mage. The Archvile is replaced with a mockup of the Technomage that looks and sounds...vaguely like him and acts exactly like him. Good levels to find Arch-Mages are Levels 11 and 28; Level 23 will really show you you their power but only after a romp through part of the level. This patch is designed to give a brief preview of this horrifying enemy. The Arch-Mage is relentless and mobile, and its powers are lethal. But this is only a taste of the fear-inducing Technomage, which is only one of the many new enemies of D2xGold. Want more? Visit the Doom2x Homepage and download away!

Chuck Lai(gunslinger@pe.net), who made Doom2x id Software for something just a bit obvious ================================================================ * Construction * Base : None Editor(s) used : DeHackEd v3.1 Known Bugs : No bugs. This patch wasn't hard to make, even if the enemy is to kill. * Copyright / Permissions * Authors may use these .deh files for editing, though I don't know how they would. I'd be happy if you gave me a copy of your work, too, but I can't make you, of course. You may distribute this file in any electronic format (BBS, CD, diskette, etc.) as long as the entire zip file remains intact or all files in it are grouped together somehow (directory, .sit, etc.) * Where to get this PATCH * FTP sites: ftp.cdrom.com BBS numbers: none Other: A direct mail request, to Jjukil@aol.com --Final notes: Chuck, if you are reading this, sorry I didn't ask permission before I released this, but well, you tend to not respond to me...maybe it's cause I mail you five times at once, then stop for half a year or more.... Anyway, hopefully, you'll understand that this isn't trying to rip off, but advertise Doom2x--I even did my own code, though I referenced to yours--and it can only help its popularity. Doom2x Legacy awaits! Finally--just who made this patch template!? I'm just curious, that's all.
