- DESCRIPTION:
-
- This is the first in a planned series of related levels. I plan
- on 4 levels total for this project.
-
- I started this level wanting to recreate the city and skyline
- from the movie BladeRunner. I quickly realized that all the
- buildings and locations I wanted to include wouldn't fit into
- just one map, so I decided to make it a series. I've deviated
- from the movie into just a large futuristic city with
- incredibly high skyscrapers and an insane skyline.
-
- This map uses a highly customized set of con files (defs.con,
- game.con, & user.con), plus new sounds and art. You'll surely
- want to back up your current cons, and if you're using
- TILES014.ART, it as well. Then just unzip the file (BLADES.ZIP),
- and place all the files into your Duke directory. I've modified
- the cons, so you don't even have to type SETUP to select Blade
- as a user map. Just type in DUKE3D as you would for a normal
- game. When you want to play the first regular level (e1l1)
- again, you'll need to put your original cons back into the Duke
- directory. Have fun! ;)
