How does it cope with dynamic spawning? Like if you have an Icon of Sin map and you've killed all monsters. Do you lose the bonus once a new one is spawned? Do you get the bonus several times each time you kill the "last remaining monster" as soon as they are spawned?

With ACS, you can also spawn monsters, as well as items, barrels, and even secrets... How is everything handled?

The new hud's plenty more convenient IMO, seeing that I now know how much time I have left under par.

Does the fixed Journey to Hell version have that one map08 issue resolved?

Well, I'm still plowing through Plutonia 2, so it'll be a long time before I start on Journey to Hell proper.

By the way, I'm still looking forward to any new megawads you wish to add. (I don't have any yet at the moment.)

Edit: I finally finished up Plutonia Revisited, and as usual, I just gave the middle finger to the monster spawner boss via nuke missile to the boss's brain. [/B]

gun_psycho said:
That's good to hear. By the way, I'll get started on some of the easier megawads first before I move on to the super-hard ones. (Requiem and the Memento Mori series for instance)

The chain count thing's nice, though I still don't see how much time I have left before each kill chain ends.

By the way, I finished Biowar recently. The final level was pretty short, thankfully.

Edit: I'm currently blowing through the first Twilight Zone megawad, and man is it a weird megawad. I'll try my hand at the sequel, next, and then Whispers of Satan once again.

Edit 2: I got Twilight Zone out of the way, working up the courage to tackle the sequel next.

Edit 3: I'm halfway done with Twilight Zone 2, both secret levels included (Map31 was a pain in the ass), and man is the ejaculator weapon a wonderful chainsaw replacement. By the way, I'm the supreme level score champion again.

I was playing it in opengl mode last I remember. I was at the part with that floor puzzle when the crashes kept on occuring.

I really dunno exactly where it crashes, but I'll likely keep pressing on until I get past the map.

Pretty sure I mentioned this in the past and hope I'm not bugging you by bringing it up again, but do you think you'll make an in-game personal high score table? I haven't played score doom in a while, but the lack of an in-game is one of the things that makes it seem a little pointless for me to play.

Also, an option for permadeath like in ManDoom would be really cool. Unlimited lives in something score based seems a little bit like cheating.

I'm not knocking scoredoom at all. I just think these two features would make it that much better for single player.

That'll be fine to try Memorial. Also, I just finished Neodoom... and MAN was it a tough journey. I pretty much went "screw it" upon reaching map25, trying to beat the rest of the megawad as quickly as I could, and I toppled the mega vixen in map27.

I would think a high score table that only keeps track of your local own personal bests. Would be nice if there was a way to add initials or something like that in case there were more than one person playing doom on that computer. Maybe a top 3 list?

Also if combined with an optional permadeath/lives system, then it would display what wad and the last level completed that the score is from. It should also display your score when you die if there was permadeath/lives.

It could be something accessible from the main menu screen. Simply "High Scores."

To my knowledge, the way the online leader boards work is that you're name doesn't even get posted unless you beat the score of whoever currently has the high score. Personaly, I'm mostly interested in just my own high scores. That's why I would prefer some sort of in game, arcade style, way to view only my own personal best.

As far as taking you away from the game to view the scores, it wouldn't be like stopping mid game to check scores. More like starting the game and checking your scores before starting. Maybe to decide which one you feel like trying to beat. Or checking them after you die. Still more convenient in my opinion than needing an internet connection to go online just to see if you even landed on board with everyone else. Plus, I imagine an in game high score board would mean you could play any wad you wanted and get a high score for it instead of needing it to be designated on the scoredoom leader board.

Also, just tried the latest version. The new hud doesn't pop up the way it is in the screen shot from your blog.
