Some years ago I had a wad file I downloaded and I wish to download it
again. But..... I have forgotten the name :-(        Maybe someone will
recognise it from my description.

The player start is in a wide canyon which is split down the middle by a
river of lava. Quite some distance across the river is a castle.Various
creatures are shooting fireballs at you from the turrets. These are easily
avoidable because of the distance.

You need to go up your side of the canyon where there is a cave system in
the wall to
the left. At the bottom is a switch which you activate. When you get back up
you find that a column has appeared by the cave entrance with another switch
on it. You also find that a secret door has opened back where you started
and that many flaming skulls have emerged and are coming down your side of
the canyon to stop you activating the new switch. Once they are dead the
switch, when activated, brings up a bridge where you can cross to the
castle.

I dont remember much more but the when you get thru the castle entrance it
is green marble motif and you are greeted by several skeletons and imps. The
first room is large (to scale, maybe 40 - 50 meters).

Name of wad or wad collection anyone????

I immediately thought of rebirth MAP22 but since that was only released
a couple of months ago it's probably not the one.

I also thought of E4M9 in death tormention II but the description
including revenants ("skeletons") implies it's a map for Doom 2.

Nothing else springs to mind right now but I hope someone knows this
because it sounds really good

Does it have a CyberDemon and a Spider Mastermind that appear in the
castle's courtyard near the end of the wad (and a bunch of Hell Knights and
Revenants (the Skeleton Dudes) firing at you from the top of the castle
(parapits?)?  If so, I vaguely remember a wad file like that on that second
"Ultimate Doom" CD-ROM that was put out by (can't remember name of company
(thinking ValueSoft?).  The people who actually marketed the Doom 2 game).
The bad news is I don't think I have that second Ultimate Doom CD anymore
so's I can't check it up for you.

My memory of the details isnt so good. But the spider mastermind doesnt ring
any bells.

The initial entrance to the castle is a large area in two levels.

I remember liking the wad but it is really a while ago since I last played
it. (On a 486).

Thanks people.

Perhaps Alien Vendetta map28, but there's no fireball launchers up in the
castle. See http://ellisllk.lautre.net/jeu/ecran/DOOM209.png.

Perhaps "pueblo.wad" for Doom2?

       -- Bob Dylan

    I've never visited the pueblos of the South West,
    but I think they look pretty cool, and it occurred
    to me that they would be a good setting for DOOM.
    Is this an original idea? I doubt it, but I haven't
    seen it before, and I built it myself. The bridge I
    stole whole hog from a beautiful bridge in an excellent
    WAD called EntrNite.wad (map03), by Robert Berkowitz,
    and I encourage everyone to download and admire his work.
    I played around for weeks, but couldn't make a bridge
    I liked, and you really appreciate good WAD construction
    only when you see someone do something you tried to do
    and failed.

    To make it clear: I deserve NO credit for the bridge!
=====================================================================

Single Player           : Yes (built for this)
Cooperative 2-4 Player  : Yes (untested)
Deathmatch 2-4 Player   : Yes (untested)
Difficulty Settings     : Yes
New Sounds              : No
New Graphics            : Yes. One or two here and there.
New Music               : No
Demos Replaced          : No (I'm including a separate demo in the ZIP file
        in case anyone wants to watch me play the game
        and reveal most of the secrets. It's
                             version 1.9, and can be run with the
                             [-playdemo pueblo] command-line perameter.)

* Play Information *

Level #                 : This replaces MAP01 for DOOMII
Play notes:               486/66 or better is recommended. I built in on a
  lap-top with 8Mgs of RAM.

       The trick of the Red Column Room is to get the Cacodemons
       up as high as you can, so that they'll help you kill the
       folks in the cages. Keeping the red column between you and
       them is one way, and you can also use the lifts on the side
       of the room. In other words, if you're the one killing the
       Mancubus, you're probably in trouble. Remember: a stationary
       soldier is a dead soldier, and lava is hot.
       Also, I have a weakness for switches you shoot at (there
       are two on the level). I tried to make it pretty hard,
       but as the demo shows, I'm not the greatest player myself,
              so you experts out there will probably saunter on through it
              without a whole lot of difficulty. As you can probably tell,
       I don't plan my WADs out in any sort of detail beforehand,
       but just follow the concept where it leads. I don't like to
       play what I think of as "obnoxious" WADs, where the secrets
       are impossible to find, or you run out of ammo all the time.
       Some people like 'em, I guess, but I'm a simple man, and if
       you give me a shot-gun and a room full of demons, I'm happy
       as a clam. Nonetheless, there are a couple of points in this
       level that come pretty close to "obnoxious," I think. I put
       in all the weapons, but changed the Cyberdemon to a Spider
       Boss at the last minute. I hope you enjoy this WAD.
       I have to admit that I kind of like it.

      This PWAD can be completed by the average
      player without cheating.

================================================================
================================================================

* Construction *

Base                    : New level from scratch.
Tools(s) used           : DCK v3.6 (An excellent level editor),
  DMapEdit v4.0 (Some nice features here, too)
  WARM Nodebuilder v1.6 (Saved my life
           when others wouldn't)
  Paint Shop Pro (shareware version)
  WinTex 4.3 (to make the new textures)

  All of these programs are tremendous, particularly
  DCK and WinTex, (though DMapEdit's pretty darn good.
  But you get used to a program and just feel comfortable
  with it, which is why I now depend on DCK. As if anyone
  cares.) They make the technical aspects
  of level-construction a snap, and free folks like me, who
  aren't so good at math, to concentrate on environments
  and traps and nifty places to shoot from.

================================================================
* Known Bugs *

I haven't run into any. The level isn't that big, but it has a lot
of sectors, because of ladders, etc. Every now and then it slows my
laptop down. But it hasn't crashed yet.

================================================================
* Copyright / Permissions *

Do whatever you want with it. The way I see it, WADs are like jokes;
you make 'em, you don't own 'em, and if they're any good, they'll get
repeated.
====================================================================

* For New Players *

To play, unzip the PUEBLO.ZIP file in your DoomII directory, then at
the command-line enter      doom2 -file pueblo.wad
To play the demo, enter     doom2 -playdemo pueblo -file pueblo.wad
The demo will only work if you have DoomII version 1.9
