- THE STORY
-
- A city on earth has been completely run over by the aliends.
- They have decided to burn it to the ground, it is (of course)
- your job to stop them. They have lit the largest building in the
- city on fire, the firemen have all been killed, and the aliens have
- taken the firetruck on a joyride, running over pedestrians and
- causing major havoc. Save the city Duke, its their only hope.

- N O T E S
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- This level is the result of around 2 1/2 months work
- and a lot of hair pulled out of my head. The day I
- recieved duke registered I got into the build editor
- and started to figure out how to do things. Actually
- in the next few weeks I was completely absorbed into creating
- this world. Well after all this time im going to let it out
- to everyone and anyone who wants it. I spent a lot of time
- and lots of effort attempting to make the theme and enviroment
- as close to 3drealms quality as I could. You can really appreciate
- the time they spent on their levels if you attempt to match their
- quality. This level was built from the ground up, I did copy some
- sectors from other levels, but I think only for comparison and stealing
- sprites. If you do look at the map in the build editor you will see I
- have left quite a bit of sector garbage outside the playing area. This
- garbage does no harm, and I did not feel like cleaning it up(im not getting
- paid for this). I have extensivly play-tested this lvl with other people
- on dwango, and local connect. It should work just fine.
- There are a few bugs that are known and can not or will not be
- changed. Heres the list:
-
- 1. If you fly up to the very limit of height you will see
- an unparralaxed sky moving around the tops of the
- buildings
- Explanation:
-
- If you parralax a subway(train) sky it will spontainiously
- will spawn rpgs..(not a very realistic firetruck)
- so i just made the sky very high..normally this is not
- a big deal.
-
- 2. If your flying or shooting an rpg above the firetruck
- weird things will happen.
- This actually turned out to be pretty cool. If you fly above
- the firetruck it will grab you and take you with it. As well
- if you shoot an rpg over the truck while its moving it will
- generally throw it off in a diffrent direction.
- Explanation:
-
- This is again due to some of the way the build engine deals
- with the moving sector(the firetruck) there are no fixes
- for this and actually it can be benificial to you.
-
- 3. spontanious death on the bridge. Sometimes if your running
- across the bridge and the firetruck goes under you
- get squished.
- Explanation:
-
- Again...this has to do with the build engine and subways..
- what i have found is that if you dont move it wont
- kill you on the bridge..also you can always wait till it
- passes underneath before you cross...
-
- 4. When in god mode stay away from the firetruck! if you
- get squished by the firetruck in god mode chances are
- your computer will freeze, or at least the game will..
- Explanation:
-
- This happens because to give the firetruck the ability to
- run you and other people over i had to do a few tricks with
- teleportation. Basically when the truck hits you you get
- teleported to a space that is way too small for dukes body.
- instant squish, and luckily it doesnt teleport you squishing
- so when the firetruck hits you stuff goes everywhere.
- if you are in god mode you get teleported wholly to the
- place that would normally kill you..so you get continually
- squished...hence the freezing of the game..I havent experienced
- any problems in deathmatch...
-
- 5. when you jump on the edge of the roof of the firehouse
- you get teleported to inside the firehouse. You have to jump
- on the ledge over the garage door you run into. The dooe
- on the left is the one you can run through to get inside
- , if you jump on the ledge directly above this door you
- tleport inside(whatever you get it right?).
- Explanation:
-
- Well I had to use sprites and other things to make it so that
- it appeared you were actually goin into the building (although
- it would be more convincing without the tleport graphic and sound)
- so there is a small sector that is the ledge for the size of the
- garage door. unavoidable..just dont jump there...
-
- Nuff of the bugs heres some of the attractions:
-
- 1. Killer firetruck that runs people over (80% of the time)
- 2. Fish-tank (you can trap people in it)
- 3. A couple movie and song references
- 4. Really tall buildings you can jump off of and land
- in pools below
- 5. Elevators, monitors, secret walls, ambient sounds,
- bridge,ect..etc..
- 6. mondo-secret - you can only get here once and its not
- very easy to find, but well worth it
- the only hint i will give is that
- the entrance is somewhere in the parking
- garage, remeber to have full health when
- you go in. Also they key to openening the
- secret is somewhere near the pool outside..
- on a building somwhere...
- 7. all the names on the walls in the garage are friends of mine
- that helped me test this level for bugs and playability
-
- Couple of strategies:
-
- 1. How to trap someone in the fishtank:
- Well wait for them to jump into the tank..
- Its easy to see them if you lower the walls of the tank
- by pressing the switch on the wall by the elevator
- once they are in the tank run and hit the button
- behind the counter, youll here a sound and wallah,
- they cannot get out..For some real fun throw some pipe
- bombs into the fish food to feed the fish.hint hint..
- you might want to lower the walls first(of the tank) so
- you dont get hurt by the explosion.
-
- 2. Fighting back when trapped in the tank. Well i really
- didnt want to make people be able to get out or fight
- much at all when they are trapped in the tank so I added
- one small feauture..If the elevator is one the bottowm floor
- and you throw a pipebomb(whil in the fishtank) facing the wall
- with the couches(oustside the tank) the bomb will fall down
- through the elevator shaft..If you are lucky your friend might
- mosey over there to go up and get some more bombs...
- then again he might not..
-
- 3. Just as in real life its a good idea to stay on the sidewalks
- when your on the ground. The firetruck will not kill you if you
- are on the sidewalks. However if you are shrunk you cant
- (usually) get out of the way fast enough, or you are too
- small to get on the curb.(hehe)
-
- 4. You can jump onto the firetruck from almost every side and
- ride it around. This is handy for getting to the other side
- of the building real fast. or getting away.
- You probably do not want to get
- very close to the front of the firetruck (even when its stopped)
- because it can still kill you even though its not moving.`
-
-
- Well if there are any major bugs which i dont know about then
- e-mail me at mndslayr@dhp.com and ill fix them(if they are
- serious flaws) Im tryin to make sure when i let this
- thing out that there arent any. Hope this text save you from
- a completely funny bridge-death or something..haha..
- Have fun and spread this lvl around its really cool multiplayer..
