Well, this is interesting, I downloaded the beta and got it setup while the add-on pack finished downloading. When that was done I dropped it in /skins, but didn't bother copying any of the monsters into my config. I was trying out Doom E1, and when I got to E1M3 I had attacking barrels instead of demons and spectres. Amusing, but I'm guessing it's not intentional. sd_custom_replacements was set to true by default (I just now noticed that), but changing it to false has no effect on this

Also, the announcer voice still plays when hitting the level end switches, even if you have it turned off.

(Do you prefer bug reports here or at the ZDoom forums? I check here more often, but it doesn't really matter to me; I can post there just as easily.)

The new customization for monsters is very good. Also, this version of Scoredoom seems much more stable. It hasn't crashed on me even once, whereas in 2.5r4 I couldn't even get through episode 1 without it randomly crashing on me practically every time. I was going to say something about that but I think you were on vacation and I must have forgot about it. Anyway the problem seems to be completely gone now, whatever it was.

My suggestions/observations:
I think it would be nice if Scoredoom automatically put in the default monsters/amounts that you listed in the help file when it generates a new config file. Minor, but it seems dumb to make people copy/paste that.

I've noticed very recently that Scoredoom demos do not keep track of whether random monsters in single player is turned on, causing desynch if you have random monsters turned off in your ini file during playback, but they were on when the demo was recorded (and vice versa). I think the demos should really keep track of that variable to avoid the problem (maybe the custom monster settings as well - would that be needed to gaurantee no desynch if the config has been changed?).

Finally, I've noticed one of the enemies is glitchy. That super fast arch-vile like thing which you can only harm when it shoots at you (I think that describes it well enough). It can get stuck in a perpetual repeating animation where it goes nowhere and can't be shot or affected in any way. I have two demos where it happened if you'd like to see it. Both times it was near a decoration, so I think that might have had something to do with it getting stuck.

Hmmn, could you be more descriptive? :-) The Deathknight? The Tornado Demon?

Too bad it pushes the date back, but good idea.

The closest thing I could think of to compare what it looked like was an arch-vile. It's the Flesh Wizard. I don't know why I didn't think to look it up in the webage that comes with the addon pack sooner.

Looking at that page gave me another idea. Can the artifacts that show up be customized like the monsters/barrels can (didn't seem like they could from the readme)? Seeing the double and quad damage listed on the page, it made me think there could be a powerup that temporarily makes all player shots to be "ripping" type. I wish I knew how to make that, but anyway I think there's at least the potential for there to additional powerups that fit with Scoredoom, which means having them customizable might be useful. It could make for some interesting gameplay at least :P

I also found that in E4M6 of Ultimate Doom, there was a Cyberdemon boss rush

One question though: Will that boss rush thing also apply to enemies whose deaths are required for the level to be able to advance forward?

Edit: An example of such is the Spider Mastermind boss in Map30 of ConsoleDoom. I also found that in E4M6 of Ultimate Doom, there was a Cyberdemon boss rush

I wish you would have said something about making a final version ahead of time. I would have tried to think about any ideas I had before a final version came out.

I have one I've been thinking about in fact, which I would have made sure to post sooner if I had known about that. The more I think about it the more I think it would be very nice if monster/artifact replacement settings could be stored in their own separate file. That would allow having several different sets that could easily be switched between just by changing one setting in the main ini (or even better, in game as well?). People could also share settings easily that way, and possibly make challenges for each other with the settings they make.

If this is added, it would also be a very good idea to save the name of the monster configuration used (if any) in demos that are made, and automatically use that configuration upon playback.

I hope it's not too late though with you saying final all of a sudden. I really wish there was some warning before that.

A random thought: One bonus each for getting 100% in Kills, Items or Secrets when you finish the level? Makes sense, at least.

Although, you'd have to take into account the levels that have 0 of a specified category (often Items and Secrets,) and the levels in which you can't get 100% in a category for some reason (e.g. Doom II MAP15 and its unreachable teleport secret.)

Again, just a random thought.
