Title : The Fantasy hotel (version 1.1) Filename : Hotelfan.map Author : Blackjack E-mail : Blackjack666@hotmail.com Web Page : www.planetduke.com/crackdown Misc. Author Info : Senior level designer of the Crackdown TC Other Levels : The Voyeur Hotel Bottom Brum Background : This is my entry for the Resort level contest organised by Matt at Duke Nukem Inc - I`d really like to see what the other entries were! I thought I`d try something really original, which no-one had tried before in order to stand a chance. So drawing inspiration from the hotels in Las Vegas, I thought I`d make a hotel with lots of fantasy rooms! Description : Overall, it`s an expensive, lavish hotel, part of the "Voyeur" chain of hotels. Yes, it`s managed by the same guy as the one who owns the original Voyeur hotel in LA. But I can guarentee amusement everytime you throw open those double doors and enter a new fantasy room!!! Features : An excellent, playable level constructed in Blackjack style. "Washington Suite" - re-enact your own scandals! "Moonshine Suite" - Rednecks only. "007 Suite" - The name`s Bond. "Gothic Fetish suite" - No clues on this one! "John Wayne Memorial Suite" - Go ahead, make my day! Lavishly sculpted gardens Private beach Tons of bad guys Brand new messages - changing the feel of the game somewhat New con file Loads of Duke Talk Hundreds of things to destroy - even things you wouldn`t expect... 9 Secrets Fantastic ending!!!! Additional Credits To : -3d Realms for the most playable game in existence!! (and yes, I have played Halflife, Quake II and Kingpin) -Jonah Bishop and his BUILD manuals. I couldn`t have done it without them -The Chaingun sound was borrowed from the Vixens demo by Troy Studios. Thanks guys! Thankyou: -Matt and Duke Nukem Inc for organising this contest. You guys should do this more often to attract some of the best level makers around. -2Bad at Crackdown for letting me spare the time to make this! -Brian H, if you`re reading this... thanx for the feedback on Brum, you`re the only one to reply so far!!! -Deatholl --> Thank you for the support at DMB. Finished Hotelvoy.map yet? -Airhawke (and Nukeleated) for notifying me of the contest in the first place. I owe ya one. (Any chance of putting this on DMC?!?!) -Dukeworld and all it`s hosted sites for keeping the Duke Flame alive. -DDuge - I still regret leaving AVD for Crackdown. How`s the TC going? -Pascal Rouaud - Your Roch1, 2 and 3 show me just how to use obscure textures to great effect. -Bob Averill, you are without doubt the single greatest source of amusement in all the Duke Forums. Make some playable levels next time, please. -C3P0 gets a special mention for giving me some moral support during the whole 2 months of construction! I hope your entry turned out OK. -I`d also like to say Hi to all you UK dukers out there, especially Yorick, Clamour and Mortuus. -Ok, ok, I suppose I must thank you out there, whoever you are, for downloading this, playing it and *hopefully* giving me some feedback. It`s the only thing making the job worthwhile, ya know. Thanks again. ================================================================================================ * Play Information * Episode and Level # : First episode Single Player : Yes DukeMatch 2-8 Player : Yes Cooperative 2-8 Player : Yes Difficulty Settings : Yes Plutonium Pak Required : Yes New Art : No - but just check out the stuff I used!!

No need to use SETUP. Important Notes : Get hold of the Crackdown TC as soon as it`s finished! If you don`t have the Voyeur Hotel download that too from DMB - it`s just the ultimate in urban combat! And don`t forget - keep playing Duke3d!!! Tips : -Don`t Panic! This may be a fast and furious assault, but you must make use of cover, hide around corners and move in control at all times. -Ammo management is vital. Save your big weapons for the showdown at the end. -Never pick up ammo unless you need it - don`t waste any. -It`s quite easy to shoot off all your rounds before you finish the level. There is just enough to complete it, with skill. So make every shot count. -Watch for ambushes. -The fact that Duke can now only carry a sensible amount of equipment means it`s very easy to run out of ammo for a weapon before you know it. -Above all keep it tight and with practice you can finish.
