Ultimate Doom as a single episode?

[JohnnyTheWolf]

I am looking for a wad that merges all Ultimate Doom episodes into one single episode, like Doom II.

Does such thing exist?

Easily done in ZDoom's MAPINFO:

episode e1m1
{
	name = "Ultimate Doom as a single episode"
}
map E1M8 lookup "HUSTR_E1M8"
{
	levelnum = 8
	titlepatch = "WILV07"
	next = "E2M1"
	secretnext = "E1M9"
	sky1 = "SKY1"
	cluster = 1
	par = 30
	nointermission
	nosoundclipping
	baronspecial
	specialaction_lowerfloor
	music = "$MUSIC_E1M8"
}
map E2M8 lookup "HUSTR_E2M8"
{
	levelnum = 18
	titlepatch = "WILV17"
	next = "E3M1"
	secretnext = "E2M9"
	sky1 = "SKY2"
	cluster = 2
	par = 30
	nointermission
	nosoundclipping
	cyberdemonspecial
	specialaction_exitlevel
	music = "$MUSIC_E2M8"
}
map E3M8 lookup "HUSTR_E3M8"
{
	levelnum = 28
	titlepatch = "WILV27"
	next = "E4M1"
	secretnext = "E3M9"
	sky1 = "SKY3"
	cluster = 3
	par = 30
	nointermission
	nosoundclipping
	spidermastermindspecial
	specialaction_exitlevel
	music = "$MUSIC_E3M8"
}

Thanks, but I am not sure I understand.

Do I need to add the quoted text to the MAPINFO? And how do I access ZDoom's MAPINFO?

[Koko Ricky]

Eh, PSX Doom was basically that.

[VGamingJunkie]

Unless I'm mistaken, the GBA version actually allowed for both. You could choose from the menu of the 3 or you advance from one to another.

[JohnnyTheWolf]

Sure, but I do not think I can play PSX Doom with other mods, like Q4 Doom.

You don't access ZDoom's stock MAPINFO, you make your own MAPINFO in your wad. Make a new wad, make a lump named "MAPINFO" in it, open the lump in text mode, paste the above quoted text into the lump, save changes, done - playing this wad will allow you to play Ultimate Doom as a single episode.

[LuciferSam86]

Did you see that? http://www.moddb.com/games/doom-compile-project . That guy merged all Doom levels into only one level.

The 3rd version have ultimate doom levels, too.

Anyway IMHO the MAPINFO solution is more clean...

He said ultimate doom. So e4m8 Also.

[scifista42]

In my MAPINFO, E1M8, E2M8 and E3M8 were altered to lead to the next episode's first map instead of ending the game. But E4M8 is where the game is supposed to end, like where E4 ends normally, so no need to alter it.

There is a WAD called Redemption that combines themes from episode 1,2,3 and 4. I know it is not exactly what you wanted but...uh....just recommending if you're interested.

I can't find that WAD anywhere. Can you link it here please?

I think it may be this one:

Sorry for reviving this thread, but I have the solution.

 

I had installed a wad that textured DooM's weapons to look like Doom 64 weapons, and the Unmaker's there. Due to the Unmaker being upgraded as bosses are beaten, the zip for it also contains the sub-wad you want: All Ultimate Doom levels summed up into one episode.

 

EDIT: Found it. https://www.moddb.com/games/doom/addons/doom-64-weapons-only-30-aenima-extra-weapons/#5941042

 

One of the files inside the download contains a wad that turns Ultimate Doom into a non-episodic game.

Can I make my own episode with just Romero levels, or whatever levels I want? I mean just cherrypicking my favourites from D2 so I can do that in single sitting.
