What is this?
17 maps for the infamous Skulltag gamemode. The palette is quite colorful - 5 maps from the original PKST1, 6 maps salvaged from SMII, 5 maps salvaged from KTCTF2 and finally 1 original PKST2 map. Everything hopefully polished and optimized for the gamemode.

Who made this?
Credits are in the text file, nevertheless I'll quote them:

Code: Select all

Author: HeavenWraith and Ernexis
Additional Credits: Resources - ID Software, Skulltag data resources authors, SMII resources authors, TLSXCTF resources authors and SPACEDM5 resources authors;
All guest mappers - Fuchsia Fox, Lazureus, Theshooter7, Blzut3, Mechadon, Metal and Captain Toenail;
All testers - HeX9109, Wartorn, ClonedPickle, clan [SA], FNF participants and whoever I forgot to mention;
Special thanks to HeX9109 for numerous ideas and support.

How do I load this?
First of all, make sure you load Skulltag_Actors.pk3 and Skulltag_Data.pk3 before PKST2, since this is a Skulltag mod. And don't forget to set the gamemode to "Skulltag" and turn off crounching. I guess that's it for special notes.

What the hell does PKST stand for?
Literally it reads "Pluit's and Kuchikitaichou's Skulltag". Pluit and Kuchikitaichou are old nicks of Ernexis and me respectively. The wad name has been decided on back in 2006 (?) and we never bothered to change it since it more or less has a reputation now.

I've spotted a bug!
PM me about it, I might fix it if I feel like opening it in slade ever again. Or release a hotfix yourself, we won't bite you for that.

Updated OP with screenshots + hotfix'd the download, sorry about that to whoever has already downloaded.

So from what I've seen there aren't vast improvements. Although, the few changes I can spot make it look much better.

Respect to this classic wad.

Those screenshots hurt my eyes alot. The designs are good, but that resolution is just painful to look at.

I know some people refuse to go openGL, but this makes me want to hurl on my screen.

I said that the designs look good, but there's no real way for me to properly critique something when I can't make much of it out?

Perhaps I will play this in GZDoom for myself so it doesn't look like somebody dumped a load of ass all over the screen. I know that alot of people try to make their wads software-friendly, but at least make the screenshots in GL.

Thats the thing that gets me though; why won't some people optimise the game for their screenshots? That would kinda be like id Software showing screenshots of Doom 3 running on an old Pentium 3. I realize that this has little to do with the content of the wad itself, but it just irks me to see people presenting their hard work in such a careless way.

I haven't downloaded Zandronum yet. I usually play singleplayer mods though, and for that GZDoom suffices.
