Maybe someone can help me with this. I tried to contact the author,
but his E-mail account is "unavailable" according to Hotmail.

I D/Led what seems to be the original DSV megawad some time back and
I've found it a lot of fun. I played it with Boom.

The question I have though is this: are the secret levels really
accessible from the same levels as in the commercial DOOM 2 game?

I've finished the 30 levels, which took a couple of years since I only
get to play once in a while, but I was never able to access the secret
levels. On all 30 levels I get all the secrets but none of them gets
me to the secret level. Having completed the game I decided to "warp"
to levels 31 and 32 and they were there!

So all I'm asking from anyone who knows is if the secret levels are
really accessible and if they are on the same levels as in the
commercial game? Thanks for any help you can give. BTW, this is a very
nice megawad.

There's a non-Hotmail contact address on the right
side of that page.

My guess would be yes.

Note: For DOOM2 replacement WADs, the secret level 31 is _always_ warped to
from level 15 and 32 from 31. From level 31 and 32, you (can?) warp to 16.
That is true for all replacement 32-level DOOM2 WADs

So you need to go back to level 15 and try and find what you missed
