peach freak Posted February 27, 2006 I was playing someone's custom WAD and it had the Icon of Sin enemy on it. When I killed it, it ended the level. So are Icon of Sin enemies programmed to end the level when killed, even on Doom Builder? Because of so, then I'll be able to make my own map 30 then. Thanks. 0 Share this post Link to post
Xtife Posted February 27, 2006 of course lol :) infact, i think the icon of sin works on every single map slot there is a 32 level megawad in the archives, and each level has an icon of sin on it 0 Share this post Link to post

MasterOFDeath Posted February 28, 2006 Thanks... the votes look friendly but I guess worth a shot. 0 Share this post Link to post
RjY Posted February 28, 2006 You can even use a DEH/BEX patch to transfer the effect to a different type of monster (something which Kaiser did with Halo of Wonders and something I wish Espi had done with Sisocran instead of using Zdoom-specific scripting, but, oh well) 0 Share this post Link to post

Enjay Posted February 28, 2006 RjY said:You can even use a DEH/BEX patch to transfer the effect to a different type of monster etc I think "Twilight Warrior" gave the code pointer to a hostage you were supposed to protect. If the hostage died, the level ended and you had failed. 0 Share this post Link to post
Grazza Posted March 1, 2006 Hostage Rescue 3 used that effect too. It's quite an interesting wad in several respects, but it's a shame it's not longer, and it has some flaws too. 0 Share this post Link to post

I can agree with that. I did like some of the ideas though, such as map05. TVR! was another wad that made use of this effect. One of the levels approx. halfway or so through you had to shoot a "reactor" with rockets to end the level. It was the IOS. I also liked the wad's IOS at the end... 0 Share this post Link to post

Another earlier example is from "Requiem" map 8 ("The Reactor" by Iikka Keränen). It ends with you flipping a switch to "destroy" the reactor (what you really do is crush some barrels that kill off two Romero heads). 0 Share this post Link to post

What the first wad to use this effect was, I'm not sure. Possibly there were some old Doom(1) wads that did something similar with the cyber/spider codepointer (and possibly got broken by changes in the exe). 0 Share this post Link to post
Xtife Posted March 2, 2006 i shall have to remember this, sounds like a useful trick in vanilla editing 0 Share this post Link to post
cycloid Posted March 2, 2006 yeah i've used the boss brain directly a couple of times, dehacked it's health down to, say, 1 and had a player do something to activate a crushing ceiling over it to end the level. i used this and the resulting explosion in my second released map "react" (cyc-b.wad) 0 Share this post Link to post
Ezxariarch Posted March 3, 2006 It's just the cod pointer on it' death frame. It's made to end the level. Yo ucan copy this code pointer to be used for any monster. 0 Share this post Link to post

Or if your using Zdoom set the Item tag to " End Game normal " and it would probley work, i havent tested it yet though. Edit: Yeah, it works.. yay =) 0 Share this post Link to post
