Any hints on finding the secret exit in MAP15? I unlocked the normal exit, but I've come up blank.

Just a hint? Well, OK. There's an extra bullseye target that you need to hit after getting the red key. :P


I, myself, was wondering how to get to the sector 690 secret in MAP32. I fear that there may be a bug in play here. ;/

No bug, I can confirm it's obtainable :D

Spoiler

Strafe along narrow walkway and into the bloodfall.

Ok, I've just completed this. This is amazing. Fun as hell gameplay-wise. Died the most on tarnsman's map cause I kept getting raped by chaingunners that seemed to be everywhere. Thank you very much for releasing this :)

Holy crap, MAP18 of this megawad is the coolest looking, trippiest maps I have ever played.

Blegh, I couldn't get the palette to work with InstaDoom.

on the contrary, i think that fits the mood of this wad just fine. :P

edit: so since i've actually played through the first episode now, and made it to the second, i've gotta say this is pretty damn good. i was expecting some mercilessly pounding difficulty from the way people talked about it and yeah, it is pretty hard, but it's not as hard as i thought it as gonna be (prolly has to do with me playing it continuous with a weapons mod though.) there's some stuff i noticed though:

on map 5, there's a bit of a problem with the plasma rifle secret. if you run G/ZDoom with njsplash, the terrain flat will be liquid, and when the pillar lowers into the water, you're unable to get it up whatsoever. simply making the pillar not lower all the way into the water or having a different texture there would solve it.

the text screen gets cut-off slightly in ZDoom:

Holding off on playing past map10, probably for the DWMC. In map07, there are infinitely tall short blue firesticks adjacent to the soulsphere/BK pedestals.

Just cleared the whole wad on UV + Pistol Start. Easy 5 star wad. Episode 3 felt very unique and experimental with all the guest mappers and changing visuals. Map 23/24(?), the one with the clouds, was one of the most bizarre map's I've played. In a good way. The ending was really cool too.

Some possible bugs. On map 28, I had the monster hordes getting stuck on that pathway between the two starting Cyberdemons. Made triggering infighting and then BFG spamming them down quite trivial. I also had some random frame drops and stuttering on the last 3 maps. Even on the final map, when entering a new area my FPS would tank to single digits and then stutter back up to 100+. Didn't have that problem anywhere else in the wad.

oh derp, looks like i am still playing RC1 and didn't notice RC2. my complaints can be skipped if they have been fixed in this new version, i'll probably still go on RC1 til i finish though.

RC2 has some weird graphical issues for me playing in glboom+ with 8bit graphics. Certain sprites look all messed up.

Example of what I'm talking about :

For the record, it was fine in RC1, and is fine on RC2 with 16bit or higher.

I was not able to replicate this in glBoom-plus 2.5.1.4. It seems to happen only in 2.5.1.3. Try updating to the newer version.

In RC2 MAP15, the gap is now big enough to allow for dropping down to access the yellow teleporter, but not for the all-important red teleporter. ;(

Whoops. I fixed it now on my copy (for real this time). Thanks for letting me know!

Glad you're enjoying it so far! I'd at least switch to RC2 after you finish an episode since you have to pistol start anyway. And I've fixed both of those issues on my working copy. I can't guarantee njsplash won't break other things in aaliens, though.

Good call, they're gone now.

Hmm, I don't know what was up then, cause I was using 2.5.1.5. Anyways, I disabled transparency and it's fine now!

I'm up to MAP17 and have completed most of the level but a bunch of monsters never teleported in. I'm running RC2 in GZDoom 1.8.10 and can send a savegame if need be. The monster box is circled in red...

Oops. I intended to replace those monsters with pinkies on easy but accidentally put them there on hard instead. Fixed on my copy. Thanks again.

The mancubus is from Amuscaria (aka Eriance)'s Demon Eclipse mod, so yes, it exists in the Doom palette too. It's a different enemy called the Corpulent.

It's the exit of MAP09.

I noclipped around and noticed that there are supposed to be decorations outside of that window. You can still see the seam, but at least there's an attempt to cover it. Perhaps some action messes them up?

I'm using ZDoom 2.7.1.

Here are FDAs for 08-14, no deaths but some very close calls.

09 was done at a later date (today) as prior comments led me to believe it was a 40+ minute map and I didn't have the time the other day for 1 map which could potentially take over an hour.

Joshy map was good :3 moderately challenging but nothing over the top.

Not sure if it was already reported, but some of MAP23's trigger logic is borked in ZDoom. This can be fixed by either tweaking the map geometry, or adding "compat_pointonline" setting to either "defaultmap" or "map MAP23" MAPINFO blocks.

I would really really prefer if this was fixed in the maps themselves because the same issue arises in ZDaemon and we have no "compat_pointonline" keyword.

Actually, there are even more problems with voodoo dolls "skipping" linedefs in ZDaemon; I though things worked completely fine in ZDoom, but seeing as they don't, I'm going to post the rest of (possibly) problematic doll-activated lines.


1) This is an example of what MaxED mentioned (doll sits on top of the line)


2) This is an example that can fail in ZDaemon (doll sits right in front of an axis-aligned line before the sector lowers/rises and lets it pass) and which was indeed failing in map25 in rc1 before the angles were changed in rc2 where the lines are now no longer aligned with any of the axes)


3) This is an example from map20 in which I'm not even sure of what the intention was, and which I did not get around to test and fix, if even needed, yet (there are more of such line-doll configurations in that map)



I made a "quick" fix for lines I suspected could be broken in ZDaemon. I cannot say if all the cases were truly problematic (I only got reports that map23 and map25 could not be finished in rc1, but it came down to the same line-skipping issue) or if timing is now slightly off somewhere, because I simply could not dedicate the time to test all the lines one by one. Anyway, here it is...

Voodoo doll quick fix (contains affected maps only): aaliens_rc2-zdaemon1-voodoofix1.zip

Here are the notes I made in the process. It is a dump of player 1 starts; voodoos with (possibly) problematic lines have been marked "BAD" with a reason given in parentheses; all of these, with the exception of map20, have been (hopefully) fixed in the voodoofix wad linked above.

From your previous posts, I kind of felt that it was OK to make the ZDaemon-compatible versions. The voodoo fix wad goes a bit further so please tell me in case I'm cutting too deep; it seemed like a better alternative to unfinishable maps being hosted on the server.

First off, thanks for implementing WISLASH. Looks good to me.

Second, I found a way to get stuck at the very end of MAP10; have a demo I recorded in GLBoom+ 2.5.1.3. It's really easy to get into that little alcove with all the trees and such, and nigh impossible to get out without turning on jumping (if your source port even lets you do so).

3) This is an example from map20 in which I'm not even sure of what the intention was, and which I did not get around to test and fix, if even needed, yet (there are more of such line-doll configurations in that map)


Huh? The left one is for very quickly lowering the red door, and the right one opens a door at the very start of the map, and then making certain lights in the map periodically glow. The rest of them are generally similar. Not sure what the confusion is about, but if there's something that's actually fucked in a certain port, my apologies, heh. I only really test in PRBoom+.

I am yet to truly look into how line activation exactly works and how it differs across ports, that's why those setups are a bit confusing to me. It is not about the specific actions the lines execute, it is about whether and when they will be executed; aaliens already nicely highlighted some of the differences between ports in this (specifically, prboom+ is a lot more "forgiving", it seems). These are the specific questions I have:

1) Are the two lines forming a "roof" on the left expected to be triggered before or after the sector blocking the voodoo doll moves out of the way?

2) Is the voodoo doll on the right expected to trigger the topmost line when it teleports back?

I'll have to test things anyway, but knowing the original intentions would help me with what to look out for.

Ah, gotcha.

1. They are meant to be triggered after the sector blocking the voodoo doll moves.

2. Nope, it only triggers (at least, it should) the first time it crosses right when the map starts.
