I am going to be making demos and testing all the maps in boom202 in all skills(2,3,4) for 0.8.0 release.

If you find a bug, fix it up and post map and state exactly what you fixed. Post up any info or thoughts on next release also.

Don't forget -skill 2 and 3! Most maps need these adjusted. Feel free to adjust those skills and post map. If you want to adjust -skill 4 please post here first with a reason why.


Check out the current repo for what has been added.

Hopefully next release is 0.8.1 and such. The beta1 and rc's do not make sense and minor version bumps are much cleaner looking as well as consistent. 0.8.2, 0.8.3, and so on.

I am starting my annual repair work on Map09 and Map13 (as previously mentioned).
Any other changes will get overwritten when I submit.
Please notify me with comments and requests.
I will be working on the entrance of Map09, as there has been a comment
upon that area.

That one looks more current, but is not the official repo. I think/hope stuff from there gets merged into the official repo.

Not sure why official repo isnt being used.

This is a really good practice to be following. Do you do it for every release? If so, it would be good to keep a record of which ones you've played through, so that for the next release you can only play through the ones that have changed.

I always make demo packs for major releases mostly just to prove they are possible. I do not mind demoing unchanged maps again.

Since we bumpped 0.7.0 to 0.8.0 almost instantly for some reason, I want to get the skill levels much more sorted out. Making sure all maps were exit-able was a fundamental goal of 0.7. I think balanced skill levels should be the goal for next release(as well as whatever else someone submits). Major version bumps should indicate something major happened. We got lots of very cool new stuff, but no fundamental differences. Skill levels should be tested 100% and properly adjusted for this release.

No idea what is going on. This is actually important as daily builds are automatically made from the repo. Not sure which repo either anymore.


Anyway MAP01, added a shotgun to -skill 2 by green armor since there were no shotgunners.

I vaguely remember reading on this Freedoom forum a while ago that it was decided to change the repo to Github for whatever reason, I don't remember the details. I would recommend trying to search the forum or PMing chungy, I have a feeling he knows more about it.

I our previous difficulty discussion, shotgunner does not appear until map02, chaingunner map03, etc.
There should not be a shotgunner in Map01.

Have extensive rework of Map09. Am not finished.

Map13 is looking pretty stable, but will probably get some touchup.


Have started work on Map19 too.

Have fixed the secret area doors from the previous discussion.
Will fix the secret doors leading to the river bank tower.

There are these floating covers over the teleporters that block
the sight lines over them to parts of the castle.
I could move the teleporters some, or move the river bank tower to avoid the sight line, but the easiest thing to do is just remove the teleporter floating covers.
This is likely what I will do unless someone complains loudly.
Anybody want to save the teleporter covers ????

MAP09 crashes boom202. Please make sure map runs in boom202 or prboom202.

It may be something unrelated to the mapping also.

Map09
I already have boom202 and prboom.
I usually test using prboom.
Any clue as to what I am looking for ?
Does it crash on load, or during play, or in some area of the map ?
Is it repeatable ?

prboom202, not the latest prboom or prboom-plus. Only prboom 2.02. It is a direct port of boom202 to windows, a very old binary.

Boom202 in dosbox is ideal, but prboom202 will work if you do not want to use dosbox.

I guess I could figure it out. EDIT> MFADEMAP not found.
Sounds like maybe a bad texture/patch was used.

Map09
Have not been able to get a crash using prboom (2.5 I think).
Did get a message about a bad texture name.
Sidedef 3270, Linedef 2189, lower texture is MFADEMAP.
Have to use "wadtls +v +vl -w freedoom.wad -m 09 -o map09.tls" to find it (I think it is wadtls but forgot to put it in my notes).
DoomLegacy, Yadex, and other tools only see MFADEMAP, but prboom is seeing MFADEMAPASHWALL2. The linedef is a FRICTION, and that texture is not even used, so I deleted the lower texture name.

If you want, delete the lower texture name in linedef 2189 and see if it stops your crashing.

I have made an updated Map09, which I think is almost done, but I am testing.
Will probably submit it within a week. It already has this fix and a large amount of rework in the entrance, exit, outdoor, and cave areas, plus two new vending machines.

Also, I run Linux. Windows binaries are of no use to me.

How is the progress on the Release clean up.

I have submitted my fixes (actually two release bumps to MAP 13).
Don't let it sit too long. I am already wishing I had put some transparent textures on that furnace. I am resisting doing a third bump to Map13 so soon.

Is anyone else going to update their level map, or is this it ??

Is that floor with F_SKY1 in map1 ever going to get fixed ??
If I touch it I will probably get carried away
(like my fixes to Map19).

Which level map creators are formally releasing their control (or whatever word you want to use) to whoever cares to meddle with their level map ?? (that is NOT an invite to a deep discussion on what control they had in the first place)

All skills should be tested and most maps likely need some adjustment. Does not really matter, still rather nice to push on things that needed done a long time ago.
