Author : Ismaele (Alberto Sposito) Email Address : sposito.lag@tin.it Story : A ZDoom 2.0 (beta 38) oddness! Description : Theese two .WADs, with their relative demos (.lmp files!) show some oddnesses of the Arch-Vile's behaviour: their suicidal tendency and a battle between themselves! If you want to see the Arch-Viles fighting, launch ZDoom 2.0 beta 38 (I recorded the demo with it and this oddness works certainly with this version of ZDoom) with the following parameters: ZDoom -file arch2.wad -playdemo arch2.lmp -warp 1 -skill 3 If you want to see Arch-Vile's suicidal tendency, launch always the same version of ZDoom (2.0 beta 38) with the following parameters: ZDoom -file arch 1.wad -playdemo arch1.lmp -warp 1 -skill 3 Enjoy yourself! He, he! =) Additional Credits to : Id Software, for making Doom. ZDoom author, for this oddness (he, he!). You, for downloading this .WAD.

Level # : map1 (both the .WADs) Single Player : Yes Cooperative 2-4 Player : No Deathmatch 2-4 Player : No Difficulty Settings : Yes New Sounds : No New Graphics : No New Music : Yes, I took it from E1M3 of "Heretic". Demos Replaced : I included them in the .zip file; they are: 1) arch1.lmp for arch1.wad level; 2) arch2.lmp for arch2.wad level. * Construction * Inspiration : I became interested in this oddnes while I was playing "Congestion Control 2" by Karthik Abhiram with the 4th skill level: as two Arch-Viles appeared, I ran away (he, he!) and I left them fighting against a Hell Knight. When I came back, I saw they were killing each other. One of them survived and began to suicide himself. This strange event strucked me so much that I wanted to create a pilot level...
