Title : Han Solo's _Millenium Falcon_
Filename : FALCON.MAP
Authors : Edward "Scorpion" Davis & Aaron "Deino" Gwin
Email Address : ebd@utk.edu
Misc. Author Info : Edward is a Geology major at the University of
Tennessee, Knoxville; and Aaron is a Geology major at
the University of Memphis. We're both avid _Star Wars_
fans, and felt like the Millenium Falcon would make a
perfect spot for a Dukematch.
Description : This map is intended to provide hours of
Dukematching fun. We used The _Star Wars Technical
Journal_ by Shane Johnson as the basis for the floorplan,
but had to make some changes in order to improve the
Dukematch action. There is lots o' detail, and we tried to
stay true to the _Star Wars_ theme as much as we could. We
put in Star Destroyers, "Two of 'em, comin' right at us!"
and we put pipe bombs on the edge of the maininence pit in
the forward compartment to represent the "hyrdo-spanners"
that fell on Han Solo's head in _Empire_. Unfortunately,
we couldn't figure out a way to put in the smuggling
compartments without having players falling into them over
and over, so we left them out. We tried to make the level
actually match the scale of DUKE3D, unlike some maps we've
seen with eight-foot-wide doors and four-foot-tall light
switches. A favorite tactic of ours is to put a laser trip
bomb in the door frame of the escape pods, and the next person
to open it gets blown down to 13% health or so... (There's
only two escape pods because Han ejected the rest in order
to make the Imperials think the Falcon was abandoned when it
was pulled onto the first Death Star.) Unless you set it on
Let's Rock, you can only get the laser trips and pipe bombs.
In order to avoid slowdown, the freezer is only available on
Come Get Some, recommended for those of you with deathwishes
and P166's. The hyperdrive motivator is located in the
center of the ship, and we reccomend that you don't shoot it,
because the whole ship starts to come apart if you do. And
because you REALLY don't want to get Chewie mad after all the
time he spent fixing it. =[
Sorry, but this map is so detailed that it runs
EXTREMELY slooooow on a 486. REALLY. Trust me. It's your
old buddy Edward....
Additional Credits to : George Lucas most of all, for giving us the wonderful universe
of Star Wars. (I'm gonna buy Jedi Knight when it comes out,
aren't you?) And the person or persons who originally designed
the floorplan of the Millenium Falcon, and Shane Johnson for
putting it in his book, so we could use it. And those great
guys at 3DRealms for bringing us DUKE3D. And my parents for
buying me a pentium PC. =) And, lastly, Garrett J. Dunnewold,
a Music Ed. major at U of M, and also a _Star Wars_ fan, for his
innumerable (actually about three) contributions and relentless
nit-picking (visit his web page at
http://www.people.memphis.edu/~ugjdunnewold ).
================================================================
* Legal Mumbo-jumbo *
_Star Wars_ et al. are trademarks of the people who own their trademarks. We're just
screwin' around, so leave us alone. Unless you want to pay us money...
You can put this level on your bulletin board, web site, etc., as long as you tell
us, don't change it, and include this text file. If you don't we'll find you, hunt
you down and give you such a PINCH!!! Or we'll kill you. Or something. We'll
probably spam you back to the stone age.
You can put this in a CD compilation, as long as you tell us first. And give us
money so we can buy more GT Interactive video games. =) Or take us out to lunch.
(We're starving college students, see?)
* End of Legal Mumbo-jumbo *
================================================================
* Play Information *
Single Player : Ha! Ha Ha HA! Heh! (Hey Aaron, he wants to know if it's single
player!)
DukeMatch Level : Yes, definitely. Hours of fun. Not too big, definitely too
small for eight players, and very claustrophobic at times, but
it is based upon a (fictional) real place, so what can I say?
Difficulty Settings : Yes, I put it so that the weapon powerups are graduated based
upon difficulty. On Piece of Cake there's just laser trips and
pipe bombs, on Let's Rock we added the everything except the
freezer, which you can get on Come Get Some (recommended only for
higher speed PC's because of all of the bouncing around freezer
blasts do on this level).
* Construction *
Base : New level from scratch (and the floorplan of the Millenium Falcon).
Editor(s) used : Run of the mill BUILD editor that came with DUKE3D.
Known Bugs : Lotsa deaths because of the small size of the level; there's
nowhere to run.
This level does not run at all well on a 486/66 with
8Mb RAM. I've tried. Sorry, we just put in too much stuff.
* Where to get this MAP file *

BBS numbers:
Other: When I wrote this the only place to get it was at my web site at
http://funnelweb.utcc.utk.edu/~ebd/wads.html#duke3d
or Aaron's at
http://www.people.memphis.edu/~uacgwin/duke.html
If you got it someplace else, please e-mail me at
ebd@utk.edu
or Aaron at
uacgwin@cc.memphis.edu
I'd just like to know where my little level has gotten to.
Thanks for playing!
