I'm guessing that was not intended? Presumably. I guess I added in a fixed version with no ding-maker. I'll check in a moment, but to not bother with re-downloading, you can just put keen in the lift. 0 Share this post Link to post

It seems that everything, other than the elevator sound, is in order and should work as designed. 0 Share this post Link to post
Not Jabba Posted July 6, 2021 Apologies if this is already known/fixed, but there seems to be a bit of a mixup with m27/28. In the intermission screens and textfile, m27 is called Void Hydroprocessing II by RivitheWarlock and 28 is called The Last Ruin by muumi. In-game in the automap, it's the other way around, which I'm guessing is correct. 0 Share this post Link to post

Caleb13 Posted July 6, 2021 (edited) Ah, very nice, the difficulty progression wasn't as uniform as in Hellevator, but still a great mod nonetheless! I played v4.0701 on UV in GZdoom 4.5.0 and I encountered some bugs, though: MAP12: there is not enough ammo on UV. Even when I used god mode and killed monters from point-blank range, I exitted the map with mere 14 shells. Some ammo could be conserved via monster infighting, but it would be a tedious chore due to map layout. MAP14: there is thin U-shaped HOM in the "glass" that covers the heart pillar above the exit. I think it's sector 90, see the screenshot below. MAP16: for some arcane reason, about 10 monsters haven't teleported from sector 364. They never became active and then got stuck in sector 366. But when I noclipped there, they saw me and started to slowly teleport out when they walked around. MAP29: imp 166 never teleported into playable areas becuase there is no sector with tag 33. MAP31: I run out of ammo in this map. I actually completed it, the only thing remaining was the red keycard for the secret exit. But when I grabbed it, I was unable to deal with the monsters that appeared. There were lots of archviles in the map and I got unlucky with several of them - they resurrected too many monsters, draining me of ammo. I found all the secrets, but they didn't help. And GZdoom reports quite a lot of geometry issues in some maps: Spoiler ---------------------------------------- MAP05 - 05. Green Tech's Embrace Line 3952 has no first side.

ViolentBeetle Posted July 6, 2021 (edited) Wad has been updated to v5. Better closets, fixing possibly sequence breaks, other bugs. This was primarily to adress multiplayer session organized by @Keyboard_Doomer doomer, including some anticipation of what might come up in the future. Notable change - death detectors on MAP20 and MAP30 are now powered by Nazis. This should ensure better compatibility compared to decorations. Consequently, dehacked patch was implemented to not have Nazis contribute to monster count. @Caleb13 Thanks for detailed report. Some closeting issues been adressed. For ammo count, I didn't have much problems personally, some mappers just like to apply pressure like that. 0 Share this post Link to post
ViolentBeetle Posted July 8, 2021 Another update, because I forgot what day it was and rushed previous one. This one offers some rebalancing and multiplayer-friendliness to MAP17, and fixes some more bugs. 0 Share this post Link to post
Bozzy Posted July 11, 2021 Here to report a Bug. Playing on GZDoom if it matters. If you strafe jump to the window shown on map 15 and make it through the window it throws you back into the past (im assuming the gimmick of this map is past isnt destroyed and future is if i've interpreted this right lol) then you fall through the floor of the map into a room where imps destined to teleport in at some point are stored. 0 Share this post Link to post

Bozzy Posted July 19, 2021 Me again sorry lol im still on the older version as im not a pistol starter and dont want to start again, in this older version was there a problem with map 28 at the part screenshotted? i cant find a way to progress at all. looks like a switch in the lower water area thats blocked by a fence and the only lift that lowers on the left of the screenshot doesnt take you high enough to go anywhere. Wondering if im dumb missing something or if its a bug in this version thats fixed in a later one? 0 Share this post Link to post

ViolentBeetle Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) That's pretty weird, I never seen this kind of thing before. Have you called it down prematurely or something, perhaps? Or it just stopped on its own? Edit: I think I know what happened, this kind of outcome would happen if you press the switch that raises it before water fully lowers. It then go up to the height of the water, due to it being the next higher floor. Will be easy to fix. 0 Share this post Link to post

If you have a save at the start of the level, you can replay it and just wait until water fully lowers - that should do fine.

ViolentBeetle Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) An update to V8 (I think, I lost count) - almost a release candidate. The fixes were mostly minor, a slime trail there, a softlock here. MAP28 saw its plasma moved to prevent you from droppibg into imp pit without it. The wad now has MAPINFO splitting it into 3 episodes, but without much difference. Oh, and the large letters and numbers are now blue - nabbed from Microslaughter. Please report if you have troubles reading intermission screen. UPD: I hate to reupload because it didn't occur to me that MAPINFO doesn't feel like using default sky value unless told to. Just why?

ViolentBeetle Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) Release Candidate 1 is now here: Some more issues fixed in maps, such as softlocks in MAP10 Difficulty levels added where they were missing Status bar has been painted blue Letters and numbers on intermission and status bar are now grey, so they are actually visible UMAPINFO implemented so episodes can be selected Still waiting on the logo Due to various inconsistency between ports there are some issues in UMAPINFO PrBoom+ 2.5.1.7 sinply won't start a game. It's an outdated version though. PrBoom+ 2.6um, current release will not clear "MAP01" label from the maps set in UMAPINFO, which would be 1, 12 and 21. I was told it will be fixed in the next version. DSDA Boom port works like it should. I still think it might be more trouble than it's worth, just to let player select an episode. It all started with just trying to disable jumping and crouching via ZMAPINFO and UMAPINFO was added for consistency. I might delete it or move to separate wad for those who care. 5 Share this post Link to post
