Guest rockman062980 Posted March 13, 2001 At the end of the original doom you are given the time it took you to beat the level and the par number which tells you you should be able to at least beat the level in that amount of time. Is there any way to change this? My guess is that the only way to do it would be to actually have the source code. It would be nice though if there was an editing utility that could make it easy for you. Anyone have any suggestions as to how to change the "Par" number? 0 Share this post Link to post
Enjay Posted March 13, 2001 If you are working with zdoom, using par <partime in seconds> In the section for that level in your MAPINFO lump will give you a new par time. Leaving out a par time from a wad that has a MAPINFO entry means no par is shown, just the time to complete the level, which is also useful. 0 Share this post Link to post
Guest Fanatic Posted March 14, 2001 You can't change par times in normal DOOM/DOOM2. The par time is unfortunately calculated based on the distance between the player start point the the exit switch/line, not the real time it takes to get to the two points. You can change it in most source ports, like ZDOOM (noted here already) and in EDGE in LEVELS.DDF. 0 Share this post Link to post
Linguica Posted March 14, 2001 Um what? The par times in Doom and Doom 2 were created by one of the id employees. There's no sort of automatic computation involved. 0 Share this post Link to post
Guest Fanatic Posted March 14, 2001 I heard wrong long ago then. That's what I get for believing everything I read on the internet. :) So I looked and found them in g_game.c: // DOOM Par Times int pars[4][10] = { {0}, {0,30,75,120,90,165,180,180,30,165}, {0,90,90,90,120,90,360,240,30,170}, {0,90,45,90,150,90,90,165,30,135} }; // DOOM II Par Times int cpars[32] = { 30,90,120,120,90,150,120,120,270,90, // 1-10 210,150,150,150,210,150,420,150,210,150, // 11-20 240,150,180,150,150,300,330,420,300,180, // 21-30 120,30 // 31-32 } Groovy. So to answer the original question, use a source port where it's configurable in a text file of some sort, or edit the above in the original source and recompile. 0 Share this post Link to post
