Misc. Author Info : Ich liebe Siberian Tigers :)
Description : This is my first attempt on making an Invasion map, hopefully it meets up to standards
and expectations of a traditional invasion game. This map contains seven waves, in which
the player will have to fight through mounds of demons and hellspawn. To spice the waves
up a bit, I have included different music to play through every few waves.
Moreover, this is a contribution submission to Zandronum's Community project:
Invasion Unleashed [ https://zandronum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=43155#p43155 ]
Furthermore, I will note that the light house - isn't exactly the way I imagined. The light house
just doesn't seem like a light house without some sort of halo or a strong indication of the
source hosting an actual light. When the player is in side the light house, the point light is
enough to demonstrate that the light house's light source is active, but from a-far - it isn't
as it is simply way too dark. There has to be a better way to make the light house actually
seem like a light house, but I am unsure as to how. If anyone has a solution, feel free to make
it happen.
In addition, do note that the SkullTag Resources is required to play this map. With that said, the
load order has to be specific. Load Order must be the following:
SkullTag_Contents.pk3
shdwmkr.pk3
The link to the SkullTag Resources is provided below under "Other files required".
Why is this map called Shadowmaker? Primarily from this song by Apocalyptica: Shadowmaker

VIDEO RENDERER NOTES
-------------------------
OpenGL _IS_ required when playing this map. This map utilizes dynamic lighting as a source
for lights and effects, as well as 3D Slopped Floors.
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
Zandronum [GZDoom] engine:
Line Mirrors (Software Renderer)
R_DrawMirrors [True|False]
Line Mirrors (OpenGL Renderer)
GL_Mirrors [True|False]
Sector Reflections
GL_Plane_Reflection [True|False]
Dynamic Lights
GL_Lights [True|False]
Render translucency effects
R_DrawTrans [True|False]
Toggle Rendering Precision
GL_Render_Precise [True|False]
