October 12, 2000 "Tardis" V 1.0 A deathmatch map for Half-Life ********************************************* Designer/Mapper: Davros (a.k.a. Jason Fricke) web site: www.davrosmaps.com email: davroslives@home.com ********************************************* HALFLIFE(r) is a registered trademark DOCTOR WHO(r) is a registered trademark ********************************************* Map filesize : 6.22mb Files included: tardis.bsp tardisreadme.txt tardis.res and six .wav files (make sure you get them!) ********************************************* INTRO & INFO ------------- The TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimensions In Space) has landed in a junkyard in London, 1963. The Doctor has taken his granddaughter, Susan, on her first tour of London before enrolling her in an earth school. Carelessly, they have forgotten to lock the TARDIS on the way out, allowing all sorts of young hooligans to cause mischief. TARDIS is a Half-Life tribute to Doctor Who, the most innovative television program of the 20th century. If you have never seen it, get one of the many videos and try it out now! Although Doctor Who and especially Daleks were prevelent in earlier games such as Quake 2, and an entire mod for Doom, I had noticed almost a complete absence of this theme from newer FPS games. At least someone made a decent Dalek model for Quake 3, but I have yet to see any Doctor Who in Half-Life, by far the best FPS ever! So I decided to try out Worldcraft for the first time and make a Doctor Who themed map for Half-Life. TARDIS is the name of the map which is the result of my hard work. I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I enjoyed creating it. -Davros ********************************************* Installation & How to run the game ----------------------------------- 1)Extract the files to your half-life\valve directory. All the files should automatically go into the proper folders from there. Tardis.bsp will go into half-life\valve\maps, and the .wav files will go into half-life\valve\sound\tardis. 2)Select the game from the multiplayer menu in Half-life ********************************************* Level information ------------------ Single Player Map : No Deathmatch/Co-op : Yes Number of Players : 2 - 12 New Textures : Yes New Models/Code : No New Sounds : Yes Tools used : Worldcraft 3.3, Zoners HL Tools 2.3.1, Wally 1.51B, Adobe Photoshop 5.5, Cool Edit Pro 1.2 Compile Machine : P3 667mhz, 256mb SDRAM, Geforce, and stuff Base : Lots of Doctor Who videos Construction Time : Most of my free time for the past 6 weeks Problems : No major problems that I can think of Distribution : Distribute this map ONLY if you include all the files and this readme in the zip file! Without the custom .wav sounds, it just isn't the same. ********************************************* If you make a Doctor Who map or model for Half-Life, or know of any others besides mine, please let me know so I can see it. E-mail me with any comments on the level, praise or criticism. Any feedback is much appreciated. You can also e-mail me if you do not have the .wav files. These often get lost when maps are passed around. Or visit the website above. ********************************************* Special Thanks --------------- Sierra for Half-Life, BBC for Doctor Who, everyone on the Gamedesign.net message forum. My friends deserve the greatest thanks for helping with ideas and testing during construction of the map: Thanks Lister, Babykitkat, Alanix, Geo Kon, Mikee
