The Official 'Trying to Find a Specific WAD' Thread

Shanoa said:

Instead of creating a brand new topic i have a question that doesn't necessarily fit in with the thread title but here goes.

Are there any other Wad that adopt the "Suspended in Dusk" approach? By that i mean difficulty dependent player start, i know SiD had you start in various locations based on the difficulty you picked.

I'd love to see that concept approached more often in wads nowadays.

1. Also a general request rather than a specific one (as in "I remember playing a wad with X and Y, but forgot its name, does anyone know it?"), I think it could have deserved a new thread.
2. The premise can't be true, because player start things aren't affected by difficulty settings at all, instead the engine behaves as if all player starts had all difficulty flags set.

Hmm is that so...i swear i remember playing a WAD where i started in a different location if i played on HMP and UV. Obviously i'm not gonna say you'Re wrong but i know it isn't my imagination.

Thank you for the response though, Scifi.

Now this is specific! :)

I checked out Suspended in Dusk, and it doesn't seem to have anything like that.

However, joe-ilya made this map, where the player starts in a small room with a teleporter that takes him to different places according to difficulty, thanks to teleport destination things having different difficulty flags. Memfis mentioned another wad that used the same trick in joe-ilya's thread.

I'm sorry if this request is too much or unavailable, :( ,

Looking for Brutal Doom v1 (less than v10 at least).

Years ago, I played some crazy thing that replaced a lot of sprites and sounds. I think it had imps riding cacos or two headed chaingunners riding them or something ridiculous like that, or I might be mixing/misremembering different mods on that... But the main thing I can definitely remember is one of the two hell nobles had an afrit-esque reskin and the death sound was replaced with a hilariously crude sound bite of someone yelling "Raaaahh, fuck you!" I believe it had new maps, maybe in a city style, not too sure about that though.

Very specific and helpful description, I know

That would be All Hell Is Breaking Loose.

Aye, sorry if i wasn't too clear in my last post. I wish i could remember what i desacribed but i'll give this level a choice, thank you again. :)

What wad had revenants wearing santa hats? I can't find it for the life of me.

I immediately think H2H XMAS, but I think only the imps had Santa hats in that one.. Its been a looong time so I could be wrong

NORDHELL and NORDHELL, 2 wads with the same name by the same author released around the same time, but actually quite different from each other.

It was the second nordhell, thanks.

Looking for quite a few old ones, I know the chances are slim, but why the heck not. I've listed their original source as I'm sure if there's any chance of finding these wads, that will help.

There's even more but I think that's more than enough mystery wads for now. I've also uncovered no less than 35 WADs that were never archived anywhere but on these obscure old Doom sites. Makes you wonder just how many wads that were uploaded somehwere at some time are now gone forever!

Thanks to anyone who can recover any of these. If a filename is already on the archive, it isn't the right noe - I checked it against the Author names. Some of these look like pretty extensive mods, while some are just single maps. It would be nice to recover them.

It was Boom level. It started with a conveyor belt taking you to fight a modified version of the mancubus. this new version was a substitute of the pistol zombie.

This is all I remember.

I'm looking SCP Doom (not Scp Doom experiment) the DL link is dead so does anyone know where I can find it?

Mad Butcher, you're an absolute legend. Thanks man!

Where is that ongoing project with the minimised remakes of the Doom maps?

Is it this one?

I read in the wiki that there is wad with a key that runs away when you try to grab it. I had a good chuckle at that cartoonetwork skit like mental image. But now I can't find what wad it was.

One of the late maps of Pirate Doom has this, though I don't remember which one.

I once played a single level wad which had an insane amount of monsters. It was a round level that kept unfolding (the circle got progressively larger). I remember a certain section of the level had like 5 rooms (maybe in the form of a pentagram) that had lots of monsters in them and in the back of the room there was a door leading to another similar room and the monsters would get progressively more difficult (It'd start with imps/demons and it would end with revenants and mancubus). I hope you can help me with this one. Been looking for it for ages!!

Maybe Nostril Caverns, although it has many more rooms than 5.

That's it! Oh man thank you!!! I almost feel bad about it, it seems so obvious.

So there's this fallout hud wad called fallhud.wad but I can't figure out who made or where I got it from. Anyone know?

Oh shit that's it! Thanks :D

Trying to find a small mapset Dutch Doomer created a few years ago, all i can remember from it is it was "Quake inspired" in its textures choice.

I'm afraid i can't be more specific.

As always, thank you that was exactly what i was looking for.

Hey guys still new here. Can't post my own thread yet still under 24 hours. I am a big fan of doom, have been playing since 1999 (5 to 6 years old that time) but I have a small weird and don't know where to look issue. I did the whole project brutality thing and did everything correct well so far. My issue is the keys, when I pick them up they don't appear in my inventory and I can't open any key needed door. When I open the console to add keys it works but I don't want to do that, I want to play the game properly. Any help?? Would be great.

Ps: I did follow the steps in the manual of project brutality. I saw in his "this is what a good loadout looks like" there is a fix_11 don't know if I need that?😞
