I had to make a fix for some audio issues, please redownload the mayhem17res_c5 file!

Thanks for the heads-up. The new resource was reuploaded here as mayhem17res_c5_v2.wad to avoid a file mismatch while connecting to the server for the players that already have the previous version on their computer.

Those pics look salttastic (<- this is good).

This seems really rad. 

Cool stuff, I assume there were bugs???

Nice, was fun watching the chaos

We got stuck here on MAP09. When someone enters the arena the entrance gets blocked off. I think someone must have died in there because we had to teleport past (you can see this at 27:17 in valk's video, though he doesn't stick around there for long)

MAP12 wasn't the most co-op friendly (lol voodoo dolls), and neither was 31 (puzzles in public server woohoo :P). Nothing that can be done about 31 I guess, but with MAP12 I guess you could have those cliff falls in map12 to use 20-damage floors instead of killing a voodoo doll*. Isn't it possible to have the voodoo doll not show up in co-op? Perhaps you could get around it that way without sacrificing the original intention for SP.

Apart from those 3 the session ran pretty smoothly imo. Definitely one of the more memorable WADs we've played, so thanks for that o/

EDIT: I'd like to congratulate @A.Gamma though on building a map that killed 29 marines simultaneously. I think that's a new record!

EDIT 2: * Ah I'm dumb, the floors are already damaging  - in this case I guess it only needs the dolls set to not appear in co-op if that's possible

I think MAP16 also had a problem with the blue key - only one player could grab it before it became unavailable for the rest of the players.

This was quite a hilarious TNS :D

A few more coop (and other) concerns:

06 - as the author mentions, the spinning thingys break after a while. I think I might have an explanation. Read what RjY wrote at the bottom of this page.

12 - the tree textures are not 64 units wide! This leads to visual issues in certain source ports and is a bad practice.

14 - this is obviously horribly cramped for coop but you can improve it a lot by putting player starts in different areas and maybe giving a free shotgun to everyone.

15 - please put some multiplayer only rockets at spawn, there is just not enough.
