MAP01: I/O Error (Lilith)

MAP01: I/O Error is the first map of lilith.pk3. It was designed by anotak and uses the music track "D_RUNNNN" by Xaser Acheron. The par time defined in MAPINFO is 23 seconds.

This map is designed for the purpose of checking the engine (ZDoom is required to play all maps) and to warn the players.

Essentials
The purpose of the map is to warn players about potentially epileptic effects. Also, like the other maps in the WAD, it checks whether the running engine is ZDoom. If not it will send you to MAP33 with a message suggesting you to use the proper source port. Otherwise, you stay on this map and can read a message left by its author:


 * Hi. Some people can experience seizures when exposed to flashing lights or other visual stimuli. Even if you've never been diagnosed, please be [sic] stop playing this wad if you encounter disorientation, lightheadedness, altered vision, involuntary twitching/jerking movements, or momentary loss of awareness/consciousness.
 * I tried very hard to avoid anything that would cause physical discomfort but everyone is different
 * If you understand this: walk through the wall and pull the switch.

Although the notification is somewhat exaggerated, it's ultimately up to the player to decide.. The layout of the level is built of a plain rectangle with a square platform where you start standing and a slightly confusing ceiling under the platform and fake black walls around it.

The willing player only has to press the skull button ahead, turning a crushing ceiling on. This will hurt you, but you warp to Level 2 with fully recovered health.
