Duke Nukem 3D .MAP Authoring Template v1.0 THIS LEVEL IS NOT MADE BY OR SUPPORTED BY 3D REALMS ================================================================ Title : Orion Prime (levels 1 and 2) Filename : ORION1.MAP, ORION2.MAP Author : Bob Masters e-mail address : bmasters@dreamscape.com (I can go for weeks without checking my e-mail, so don't expect much) Description : Some serious alien scum have massacred a small military base on the planet Orion Prime. They've stolen a dangerous and powerful technology that could be doomsday for Earth. Duke's got to stop the aliens before they can deliver the potent space fuel to the alien space fleet. This is NOT the kind of level where you just (1) Shoot aliens, pick up stuff, and go to next room. (2) REPEAT ENDLESSLY. Orion Prime has: New Custom artwork A riddle to solve Variety: lots of different kinds of rooms Not just aliens: In level 2, there are whole space ships for you to attack and destroy A story plot, with a good start and a climactic final scene Lots of detail A firing range (a kind of shooting gallery to test your skills) A nice commissary (grocery store) Some humor A good mix of action-packed scenes and exploration A very dangerous holodeck An HTML help file, with hints, answers, and locations of secret rooms USER ART : Yes - About 50 new art tiles. I created most, except for those below. Additional Credits ------------------ Credits go to Jason F. Mclauchlin for his Aquapark.map, which showed me what Duke was capable of. Also to Mike Shaw for his Duke Map launcher .bat file.

However, you may use any of my original artwork if you give me credit. You can probably also use the artwork that I got from the internet, but you should check with the webpages I've shown above. ================================================================ Included Files Description -------------- ----------- Orion1.bat Batch File For running orion1.map Orion2.bat Batch File For running orion2.map Orion1.map Orion Prime Level 1 Single Player Map Orion2.map Orion Prime Level 2 Single Player Map Orionpr.con CON file for both maps.
