music, or concept design for Any Game, contact me.
Description/How to Play : Mountain King is a wad based on a new idea
similar to the Capture the flag concept. I'm Sure
you all have seen the DethTag Series and various
spin off's, but this wad is a LOT different. No
annoying Rad Suits to wait for, No long lava pits
or skull Posts to read the score. MK features
a live scoreboard that displays each players total
points (green, indigo, red, brown, red team, and
blue team) The object of the game is to score
5 points and then proceed to the Final scoring pod
where a player will win the game.
* There is a Large mountain to scale, once at the
top you must lower a floor by hitting the down
switch and get inside your scoring pod. If you
get killed while the floor is lowering, your
enemy can raise it back up with the Up switch.
* Once you have scored 5 points, then your goal is
to get to the final scoring area (west on the map)
and locate your final score switch. Once you
enter the final scoring area, a sign will appear
that says "Look Out!!" Warning the other players
that somebody is about the win the game.
* If you are successful in scoring the final point
then the exit will become available.
* Its a simple concept, no strange switches to find
or wierd traps to overcome. To see more how the
game is actually played, load the wad and watch
the 1st demo. In this demo there is a 2 player
game on Map04. (See below for more details on
the differences between maps 1-4)

Subject: WinTex home page is down.
Hello Doomers,
I'm looking for someone to host the WinTex home page, since I lost my access
to www.ens.fr (Note that I would need some way to update the versions of WinTex
put there, since they keep changing).
Anyone interested, please let me know.
(Note to the admin: sorry for the post here, but I also lost access to the
r.g.d.editing newsgroup, at least temporarily.)

about that, but they just haven't had the time to put it where it belongs.

The general hype-channels that every software company uses to get the word
out about their products, yes.
Keep in mind that the vast majority of "Quake Hype" hasn't come from id
Software. The denizens of alt.games.quake and the IRC hangabouts grab at
every little thing id says and treat it as The Final Word, stretching each
and every tidbit of information across miles of speculation &
possibilities.
id doesn't say any more than is safe, or any more than most prudent
companies. The slavering droolbags who post "!!! QUAKE WILL NOT HAVE A
DIFFERENT EXIT MESSAGE EVERY TIME YOU PRESS F10 !!!" simply take whatever
id DOES say and blow it out of proportion.
> hmm, you *did* announce it would be released by Christmas?
Oh no, they missed their release date - pick who's choked up the most:
A) droolbags, or B) id Software.
> I guess no one really understands what you're talking about...it
> keeps changing...<G>
THIS is what the pressures of Popular Product Development are all about:
People can criticize the company now for changing its plans more than once a
quarter, but they'll still buy the end result. From the company's
perspective, this can be a blessing and a curse: the underlying confidence
is there that the product will be a hit, but it's hard to maintain because
of the hordes of whiners beating down their door for not delivering Rome
in one day.
> no need to get defensive...
Personally, I _hate_ that line :)

They are musics, identified by a MUS header, and decribed in SOUNDINFO.

Conversion to Hexen is a bit tricky, because of the rather senseless
names of the entries in HEXEN and HERETIC. I wish there was an explicit
entry type indication like in the (old?) WAD2 format.
Anyway, if you're looking for a HEXEN compatible editor, WinTex 4.1 beta
has been out for 2 weeks. HEXEN support is not complete, but it already
works for textures, flats, most lumps, graphics and custom sprites.
Still wondering how I will integrate the BEHAVIOR in this.
