So here is the uncut raw footage of my Doom2 level with all the latest changes. I die at about 30% of level completion while playing on Black Metal difficulty with no saves. There are no secret spoilers in this play through as well. The level has ad a lot of new secrets added to it including an entire secret area.
This week I will have videos showing BZPlasma playing the level combined with commentary as well as footage of me making changes to the level!
This time around I am going to provide instructions on how to properly install the level so you can play. This is a full beta of the level but it still only supports Ultra Violence and Black Metal difficulties.
Make sure to have a copy of the original Doom2.wad. You can get this by buying a copy of Doom 2 on steam. If you dont have this the level wont be playable.
You need a copy of the latest GZDoom found on the link below. Once you have this unpack the files into a GZDoom folder.
Now you need 2 Brutal Doom files. One is the core Brutal Doom20b.pk3 file. Unpack brutalv20b.pk3 into the GZDoom folder.
The second file is for the music. Unpack the DoomMetalVol4 into the GZDoom folder.
And finally a copy of Doom2 Redemption Of The Slain. Unpack all files into the GZDoom folder.
Ok there is one more step to the installation process. The game will crash if you dont fix an error within Brutal Doom. The error is located in a text file called blood.txt found within the Doom20b.pk3. Open up Doom20b.pk3 with a winzip or winrar and copy the blood.txt file included in the ROTS_Beta1.rar overwriting the blood.txt within Doom20b.pk3
Run the PlayROTS.bat file to begin playing the game. I use the bat file to give the game proper settings for things like mouse look and wasd movement keys by default. I also toggle a lot of basic settings that I feel work best with the level.
I hope you enjoy the level! This is still not the full release as I plan to tweak things for the final release. All feedback is welcome!
