Memfis Posted October 24, 2012 short limit removing map01 replacement, will make more maps for this (not really). download 0 Share this post Link to post
Phobus Posted October 24, 2012 Fun little map, tasteful additions of new/different graphics... Fucking awful music :P It sounds a lot like ZDoom, the music library software it uses or my PC was choking on the track, but I'm actually not sure. Anyway, I like it. Good little opener - would have benefitted from another few maps really. A Scythe-style 5-map episode would have been a winner I think, with suitable escalation between maps. 0 Share this post Link to post

Pottus Posted October 24, 2012 This map is well within Vanilla render limits memfis but crashes chocolate doom =) 0 Share this post Link to post
TimeOfDeath Posted October 24, 2012 FDA with a stupid death. It's too hard. ;) 0 Share this post Link to post
Phobus Posted October 24, 2012 The original version of that track is much, much more palatable and doesn't turn into (what sounds like) a crashing computer stuck on looping a small segment of sound, so yes, I do like it better :P 0 Share this post Link to post
Memfis Posted October 24, 2012 Pottus: maybe there is medusa effect or something or you need to append flats/sprites I'm not going to bother with all this, much easier to just say "limit removing" 0 Share this post Link to post
Dragonsbrethren Posted October 24, 2012 Yay, new Memfis map! http://dkk.slickproductions.org/files/doom/denis/overhea1_db_fda.zip (Pretty sure it is a Medusa error. Looked like one of the METAL panels was two sided on the automap.) 0 Share this post Link to post
Obsidian Posted October 25, 2012 I can see(or rather hear) what Phobus is saying about the music, but the overall map is very snappy and well-made. I wouldn't mind seeing a few more maps myself. :) 0 Share this post Link to post
Lizardcommando Posted October 25, 2012 Aside from that music, it's not a bad little map. Good stuff. 0 Share this post Link to post
Ribbiks Posted October 25, 2012 olo, I was gonna complain about the music but I see almost every post so far has already done so. aside from that twas a fun little map. demo 0 Share this post Link to post
Rizera Posted October 25, 2012 FDA I thought I was playing Doom 1 until the Rev appeared :) Took almost more time to find the secret than to kill the monsters, and managed to almost die. Nice visuals on the map. 0 Share this post Link to post
myk Posted October 26, 2012 Good map, could work as a starter level for a set! Memfis said: or you need to append flats/sprites Yep, which means -merge in Chocolate, instead of -file. Although I don't know if any limit was breached because I used Doom+ (longtics). Some apparently simple maps can have VPOs or whatever, so only testing can tell. There are no medusas, though. Those just slow the game down and don't terminate it.over_myk.zip 0 Share this post Link to post
Memfis Posted October 26, 2012 Thanks to everyone for demos and comments. I'm trying to make map02... And I think there is definitely something wrong with the ports that people who complained about the music use. Sounds perfectly okay for me in PrBoom-Plus.myk said:There are no medusas, though. Those just slow the game down and don't terminate it. Hmm, indeed, but they crash Chocorenderlimits for some reason (on this wad for example). Weird. 0 Share this post Link to post

I use Bassmidi with an SC-55 soundfont. 0 Share this post Link to post
myk Posted October 26, 2012 Vancrash has a medusa near the start, on that rusty texture... anywhere else? I played it in Doom+ and then played the demo in Chocolate and Chocorenderlimits and none of the engines crashed. Anyone know which Plutonia 2 demo with a medusa supposedly crashes Chocolate? If it occurs, it should be a Chocolate bug because in all my years playing and seeing very many medusa effects in vanilla, I don't ever recall it crashing because of them. By the way, that music sounds bad no matter what it's played with :p TimeOfDeath said: FDA with a stupid death. Nah, just a very smart revenant! 0 Share this post Link to post
mouldy Posted October 26, 2012 wow that music went a bit experimental.. nice map though. 0 Share this post Link to post
myk Posted October 26, 2012 myk said: I played it in Doom+ and then played the demo in Chocolate and Chocorenderlimits and none of the engines crashed. Interesting, I tried playing the level with Chocorenderlimits and Chocolate Doom and they both terminated consistently when I looked toward the medusa. That seems to show that the bug is only triggered when input from the mouse and keyboard is available... Here is my demo. Does it crash when you guys play it? Edit: It's not related to playing and playback but to what you do in the map. If you turn left early, it gets terminated, but if you go right and open that section like I do in the demo, when you look back at the medusa Chocolate doesn't die. This issue occurs in Chocolate but not in vanilla.vanc_myk.zip 0 Share this post Link to post
Dragonsbrethren Posted October 26, 2012 Yeah, same result. I'm getting a crash if I look to the left before hitting the switch. Once I hit the switch I can look at it just fine. 0 Share this post Link to post
Memfis Posted October 26, 2012 Wow, that medusa stuff is freaky. And can someone please tell me where exactly that midi sounds bad? Just curious. :D This is how it sounds on my system - mp3. 0 Share this post Link to post
myk Posted October 26, 2012 Heh, well, two things are getting mixed up here, a supposed technical issue and not liking the music :p By the way, I found the Plutonia 2 demo you mentioned, Dragonsbrethren. It's an intro demo and it's mentioned in the existing and open bug report for this issue. The report also mentions the bug apparently getting fixed in some versions or a way to get it to play by playing and then using End game, but all of that is just corrupt memory juggling. Whether and when it gets triggered depends on in-game events and also on the engine build. Edit: And here's another report on the same bug. It mentions some demos you recorded, Memfis (and Never_Again evidently posted it.) 0 Share this post Link to post

I extracted the midi from the wad and verified that it plays fine in quicktime or whatever else, but for some reason it goes to shit in prboom+ for me. here's a recording of the audio I'm getting: http://www.mediafire.com/?qrj04lz7c3ok2gz notice around 1:30 the notes fail to stop sustaining, creating a huge mess. 0 Share this post Link to post
Dragonsbrethren Posted October 26, 2012 Just watched everyone else's demos. Kind of funny how we're all fixated on those new barrel sprites. 0 Share this post Link to post
cannonball Posted October 27, 2012 played it, as I would expect from your maps, it looks good and plays nicely though ammo and health is pretty scarce. I fell for those barrel sprites too :P. The music didn't bother me too much, though I have spent 7 hours at work listening to terrible music played throughout the store I work in.... 0 Share this post Link to post
Platinum Shell Posted October 27, 2012 Holy shit, memphis, did you by chance get inspiration for the music from this? :) 0 Share this post Link to post
NiTROACTiVE Posted October 27, 2012 I just played this WAD and it was fun and creative. I also managed to find the secret, completed the map in 5:58 and also got 100% of kills and items. The only problem was the music that sounded pretty crappy. Was it because I used FMod as the MIDI Device or did you create it that way? 0 Share this post Link to post
Boared Posted October 27, 2012 Just played your level today and it's a nice litte map. Not too hard, but also not dull. Nice detailing, looked like classic doom I made for doom II (but more detailed ofcourse). Music goes haywire in zdoom but plays nicely along in pr-boom+ (v2.5.1.3).
