Description : This map was included in my huge project
'TGRDM3'(Morgenstern) that originally started
back in 2007, but I finally decided to kill the
project on the 26 October 2014. The development
time was going to take several more years to
complete, and making maps that uses 3D Objects -
heavily - on a 2.5 game engine is overly
complicated along with its limitations.
Abandoned Misery was originally half-way designed
back in 2010, but later completely redesigned in
2013 (which is the version released). I honestly
believe that this is the first - real successful
Deathmatch map I have ever created in my entire
history of Doom modding. Call me bias, but I
have rejected approximately 37 maps that I have
created for the TGRDM3 project, but this map is
one of the survivors in the new stock set. I
hope others enjoy this map and possibly use it
for other projects.
Revision Update (23 June. 2016)
This is a revision update from the last known release.
Updates:
This update addresses several issues and minor changes that were resolved in the TGRDM3 project and has been imported onto this project.
Imported the maps from TGRDM3 to AMISERY: Abandoned Misery and Abandoned Misery [Lite]. This is an updated version of the maps previously released back in 2014.
Notable fixes: Jump Pads, Camera Textures, 3D Teleporter support
Various and minor changes are also included.
Any specialized TGRDM3 features that were not present in AMISERY were excluded.
For example, Jump Pad sparkles, various sounds, ring spawners, and others, were excluded.
Fixed the Grenade's bouncing sound. Previously, this did not work as intended.
Grenade now inherits from the Grenade Class defined in ZDoom.
Updated the Performance Note
Updated the texture credits.
Revision Update (13 September. 2015):
This is a revision update from the last known release.
Updates:
Added duplicate version of 'Abandoned Misery' (MAP01) -> 'Abandoned Misery [Lite] (MAP02).
This map is designed primarily to resolve frame rate performance issues by removing some resource intensive features.
Also, with removing such features such as floor reflection and mirrors, this should be less confusing to players as it -
could be possible for players to mistake themselves as an opponent within the game.
Revision Update (12 September. 2015):
This is a revision update from the last known release.
Updates:
Imported the ZMapInfo lumps, yet modified, that was originally from the TGRDM3 project.
Replaced the map 'Abandoned Misery' with the version from the TGRDM3 repository. This mainly (and should only) include weapon and THING placements.
Imported the competitive weapon stock set that was previously in the TGRDM3 repository. This effectively means that all of the weapons used within the map, contains very different properties based on the original Doom game itself. For example, rockets are much faster, shotguns have a vertical and horizontal spread, super shotgun has a slightly tighter spread, and much more.
Revision Update (31 December. 2014):
This is a revision update from the last known release.
Updates:
Added Fog using resources within the Realm667 site.
Added Sector Fog
Added Rain using resources within the Realm667 site.
Added splashes using Enjay's "Splashes" resource mod file.
Added one ogg music file from 'Shane Strife'. (see \Documents\Credits.txt for more details)
General map fixes and updates
For example; the glass ceilings where not set properly with the currently used sky.
Some instant death sectors where not set properly.
Texture alignment
Performance Notes:
This map might be rather resource and rendering
intensive on various systems abroad. Here is a
few Console Variables that could help a bit by
disabling some special features based on the
GZDoom engine:
Line Mirrors --> GL_Mirrors (or R_DrawMirrors for Software Renderer.)
Sector Reflections --> GL_Plane_Reflection
Dynamic Lights --> GL_Lights
Draw Translucency --> R_DrawTrans
Rendering Precision --> GL_Render_Precise

Music : Yes
Graphics : Yes
Dehacked/BEX Patch : No
Demos : No
Other : No
Other files required : Recommended but not required, Ghastly_dragon's Marine Skins
for Zandronum users -- ZDoom support requires a bit more work
http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?p=469284#p469284
* Play Information *
Game : Doom 2
Map # : MAP01 and MAP02 [Lite version]
Single Player : Player starts only
Cooperative 2-4 Player : No
Deathmatch 2-4 Player : Designed for
Other game styles : None
Difficulty Settings : Not implemented
* Construction *
Base : New from scratch
Editor(s) used : GZDoom Builder, Notepad++, and various other
tools
Known Bugs : One of the mirrors does produce a HOM due to not
having a larger rendering void, this effect
probably wont be easily noticeable.
If using the Zandronum engine, please do use version 3.0 or later. This map and it's required assets is not compatible with any build before version 3.0.
May Not Run With... : ZDoom's software rendering engine, this is due to
the sloped 3D Objects. But, this is only a
visual issue, the map will still work as expected
regardless.
