I used Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 Ti and I didn't have issues with the level. 0 Share this post Link to post
zodiac Posted May 18, 2018 (edited) Played the first couple levels, peeked at the rest, then tried 32. Loving it so far, great job everyone! Question @Killer5: on Map32, is there a subtle clue that I missed as to which quadrant holds what, or is the intent to memorize the direction? I picked Revenants first after clearing the zombies. It ended badly ;). 0 Share this post Link to post
Killer5 Posted May 18, 2018 Uh for Map32. Do whatever it takes to remain invulnerable basically. That is all. 0 Share this post Link to post
Benjogami Posted May 21, 2018 Heyyy, finally working on RC2. Sorry for the delay. Other stuff was more fun. I'm very irresponsible. Some bad news, @antares031 ... your new demo for the new version of your map misses 1 monster. Would you like to redo it, or use the old version of the map? In other news, the main fixes are almost done. I gotta try to track down the last couple issues because my notes are lacking particulars (I thought the notes were good enough because I didn't plan on waiting this long and forgetting the particulars). They're minor issues that don't really need to be fixed, but I'll put in some work to remember. And then I'll do the coop stuff, and then RC2 will be done. 0 Share this post Link to post

I've rewatched the latest demo, and I checked no problem with it; all monsters were killed, and all secrets were found. Would you tell me what happened during your demo-checking more specifically? For your information, I used both RC2 version of wad and demo file, and I recorded it with GLBoom+ 2.5.1.5. If this issue also happens to other players, I will re-record the UV-max demo attempt with no problem. 1 Share this post Link to post
Spectre01 Posted May 21, 2018 (edited) @antares031 You'd need to check the monster counter with "smart totals" off. With it on, like in your screenshot, it only shows enemies killed that started out in the map, and doesn't count monsters revived by Archviles. 0 Share this post Link to post
Benjogami Posted May 21, 2018 Yeah, what Spectre said. With smart totals off, there's one guy left: And here on the map, if you can spot it: Spoiler just under the "P" in pause :P 0 Share this post Link to post

Antares: 'alright, I've fixed the map and rerecorded the UV-max. - Optimized to run on a vintage 386 from 1994 - Increased the monster count on UV from 523,699 to 567,250' 8 Share this post Link to post

Benjogami Posted July 15, 2018 (edited) RC2 is available in the OP! At this point, if you'd like to help facilitate improvements, the best areas to focus on are the "Casual" and "Wild" difficulty settings (balance changes can still be made there), and coop testing with smaxcoop.wad (there are probably still some bugs to be found). RC2 changelist: Spoiler - Slaughterstein and Canyon Base: Swapped map slots - Slaughterstein: Improved Wild mode - Canyon Base: Improved Wild mode - Struggle Bug: Fixed a missing texture - Heavy Impact: Fixed a midtex rendering through floor in software - Rocketfest 2018: Improved Wild mode, demo is in sync again - Blood and Stones: Improved Wild mode - Swiss Cheese Strike: Improved Wild mode - Electro Wizard: Changed some W1 teleports to WRs - Electro Wizard: Improved Wild mode - Dead Ringer: Improved Wild mode - Castle of Hell: Improved Wild mode - Back and Forth: Fixed some missing textures - Back and Forth: Improved Wild mode - The Eclipse of Betelgeuse: Updated map and demo added - Assassin's Greed: Improved Wild mode - Added smaxcoop.wad which is a standalone wad with fixes for coop 5 Share this post Link to post
Pure Hellspawn Posted July 15, 2018 level 7 seems like a puzzle. how does one avoid being crushed? i know killing the AV triggers it. 0 Share this post Link to post

Spoiler You have to keep the vile alive so that it can resurrect the arachnotrons. Each time you kill all of the arachs, the floor raises a little bit, and you'll eventually reach the top. The crusher starts after a fixed amount of time to prevent a softlock. :D 1 Share this post Link to post

Major Cooke Posted December 11, 2018 Started recently playing this. Map01, in GZDoom after hitting the blue key switch, you get stuff like https://puu.sh/CfYle/659a2ad0c7.jpg this. Probably because the floor is descending non-stop into the ground. 0 Share this post Link to post

I'd recommend trying a source port like PrBoom+ for this, then it shouldn't "bug out". Also some maps in this set will be quite high on monster counts, and that means there's a chance you will experience framerate issues at some point with GZDoom anyway. 0 Share this post Link to post
Marcaek Posted December 11, 2018 I advise fixing issues in advanced ports if at all possible, there is a decent enough audience among casuals and coop players for slaughtermaps 1 Share this post Link to post

tmorrow Posted December 16, 2018 Congratulations @mArt1And00m3r11339, you managed to finish the final section without relying on the crushers to take out the barons around the outside. Was that deliberate or because you didn't know about the crushers? 0 Share this post Link to post
