Here is a raw 16 minutes of black metal difficulty for Redemption Of The Slain Beta 2. This includes the new area of the map as well as all of the most recent game play changes.

This release includes one additional level that was not present in the previous version. I have also done a ton of changes based on feedback so everything should feel and play a lot better than before. My plans are to add one final battle section at the end of the level which will be included in the next version of the map.

Keep in mind that this is an episode not just a level.

-=Installation Instructions=-

Note: if you already played beta 1.0 and still have all of the files in a functional state the only thing you need is the ROTS.wad and you are good to go.

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_Beta2.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.

If you chose to play this level without the above setup then its very likely you will experience game play problems.

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!
