WADING - my DOOM level

Opening screen

This wad, offered to you as a .pk3 file, contains just ONE (rather large) map called PUMPSTATION, but that should be enough to keep you going for quite some time, I dare say it counts as three normal maps.

From december 2021 I have brushed it up a little, to version 1.3 which I finished march 2022.

Download version1.3

or the original version if you prefer.

The pumpstation is called WADING by Doom marines because wading is what you do a lot, patrolling this leaky old facility. Some older marines though, say the pump station was named in honour of a certain general Wading who, while famous for his lessons in tactics, was ingloriously killed by a zombieman on his first real mission. That tale should not be taken seriously though, because these same marines also whisper gibberish about UAC having a "mutator" that worked on cacodemons. Poor fellows, seems fighting demons does cause brain damage after all. But another could-be-true story is about a marine who went testing a new secret camera rocket type. Probably not very successful, because he never returned.

and all the others I may have forgotten

I commented the scripts, so newbies may get ideas from them.
All my own work is free usable, hope you credit me for that modest part.

Glass animation: thanks to boris, I used his concept, but worked it out differently because I wanted BOTH sides animated. And I can rebuild the window panes, to smash them again, heh heh.

Sounds: nonDoom sounds were al created by me, using domestic stuff from barbecue to swimming pants and a microKorg. Exceptions: the normal rocket explosion is a mix of freeware soundfiles and the friendly Pain Cacodemon are from a free bird soundfile, that I heavily processed.

Textures and sprites: I am not a graphic artist, so I used my photos and Doom pictures, to prevent disturbing the surrounding. Some textures are just patches rearranged. I renamed a few Textures and sprites to prevent mods changing them.
The brightmaps I made myself, after spying on work of others how to do it. Some lightobjects are renamed, again, to prevent mods changing them, but I left the torches because those of BD are better imho.
