For anyone who cares...

I just thought I'd post a link to a demo (by Grazza) done for UAC Teleportation Labs (by me).

Text File:
http://www.geocities.com/insertwackynamehere57/WADS/uacdemo.txt

Level:
ftp://3darchives.in-span.net/pub/idgames/levels/doom2/s-u/telelab.zip

Demo:
ftp://competn.doom2.net:8002/pub/sda/t-z/tele-753.zip

Here's an attachment. Can't edit and attach :-P

WHere is it?

tele-753.zip

Please read (2nd paragraph in particular). Or here.

BTW, I don't see much point in both giving a link to a file and attaching that same file, but never mind...

I've tried this ftp link for the tele-753.zip and received a 0 byte file called 'attachment'. I also tried the same link in the above post and eventually timed out.

The link for the wad worked.

As regards editing and attaching: I don't know about the editing half but I did type up a post and inserted an attachment yesterday. I then used the 'preview' option and noticed my attachment disappeared. After that I saved adding the attachment at the point I was ready to submit the post.

Yes, it seems that if you preview a post, the forum software forgets about the attachment. I fell foul of that myself a while ago.

I'm pretty sure the attachment needs to be a file on your own machine. I thought the attachment IWNH had given looked wrong, but I forgot to check it. Anyway, I have replaced it with a copy of the same file from my own machine.

The ftp link in IWNH's first post works OK for me (my edit in that post was to replace a 3dgamers link with a 3darchives link).

If you edit a post that contains an attachment, you should be offered a choice of options (keep, remove or replace) - unless they are moderator-only options, that is... In any case, I think you can edit a post without the attachment dropping off automatically.

Rich: this demo was in a DSDA update a few months ago, so you might already have it.

I updated the demo page... (inculding this demo, just not updated in the html yet)
http://www.doomworld.com/sda/dwdemo/dwdemo.htm

also, if you have a file that is larger than 64 Kb, you can also mail it to me (and probably Grazza) for verification.
thanks, Opulent

Grazza/Opulent!

Thanks, I got the zip this time.

Interesting lmp and tricky!

I couldn't understand your carefulness in the beginning so I tried it and my noise activated the monster generator... now I understand. :)

Yes, it's not often you need to adopt pacifist tactics in a Max run.

I had tried another method, relying on the spawned monsters getting stuck on top of one another (it's not map30, so they don't telefrag), but it just didn't seem to work.

Heh, just testing it out ;-)
