Start Map Example addon - The Dark Mod (Standalone) for Doom III

Wiki.thedarkmod.com'_Guide

• Keep the original startmap.pk4 as a master somewhere.
• When you begin a completely new FM then first install Startmap like any other FM.
• You can play Startmap right up to Mission Complete in about 60 seconds.
• So all you do is change it to be your own FM.
• You change the title, the texts, etc.
• You modify the objectives, eg, change loot amounts, etc.
• You already will have lots of test ammo and all player tools.
• Easier to delete what you don't want than figure out how to put them in anew.
• Default ambient light is set up for the entire map.
• You leave the startmap terrain where it is for now.
• You build afresh elsewhere in the map and move the player start point to where you want it.
• You copy or move any of the stuff provided and/or add your own.
  • Eg, there is an example of every AI variation - copy and drag where you want.
  • There are ready-made readables - copy and drag where you want and add your own text.
• When you have finished your FM you can delete the startmap terrain (but it's harmless if you don't.)
• At all stages you have an installed, working, completeable, FM.
• As an alternative you can insert it into an existing map or just grab what you want!
