Anybody Got a Copy of STRAIN?

[ArchitectofHell]

Hi folks. I've never played STRAIN and I'm wondering whether any of you might happen to have the WAD file all put together. Whenever I've downloaded it from /idgames, I haven't been able to assemble the file from all the pieces.

Thanks; I've been wanting to check out this mapset for years!

Andy Olivera unpacked and uploaded a copy to the DSDA website (along with a couple of other troublesome wads) there's a link to it here.

[ArchitectofHell]

Awesome! Thanks, GreyGhost!

... and I can only repeat my sentiments from that thread that a few decision makers here are not thinking right and doing more harm than good to the community.

[Bloodshedder]

We don't really need a repeat of that thread, or of the earlier, much larger one either.

I was about to reply "Yeah, Doom's got three" until I realize dthat I read the title as "Anybody Got a Copy of STARTAN?"

I did this, too. I am ashamed.

Same. xP

Count me in with the STARTAN club.

You startan people suck. Merry Holidays.

No wonder Obituary didn't work properly the first time round for me. I think it's very stupid that you can't just upload the fixed versions to the archives. Are the authors of STRAIN, Obituary, and Cleimos 2 still contactable?

[ArchitectofHell]

I haven't played Obituary either! Should be a blast.

STRAIN is a little funny-looking but good gameplay so far. Ammo seems tight, which I like in a WAD.

That's the real problem here. I doubt they would mind but without being able to ask them...

This discussion on textures is quite off topic, and should go in another thread.

I'll consider startan1

This post made me smile. Thank you.

Dammit, guys, now how am I supposed to make a good pun out of Startan3? :(

Nostromo is, though I'm not sure how much of an authority on STRAIN he is. Might be enough if he's the only surviving member, though.

[GreyGhost]

There's room for one more pun before I unilaterally declare the rest of this thread a Startan3 zone.

I played STRAIN once, are all those arachnotrons supposed to be stuck in the walls like that?

You should play with STRAIN.DEH loaded.

[GreyGhost]

Might also pay to use the "Doom" or "Doom (strict)" compatibility mode if you're using G/ZDoom.

I don't celebrate christmas, I celebrate that I get free time from school. The reason for the seasen is axial tilt.
