(+1 Post count for half-wasted space which will probably be moved into FF forum) For me, I had a recurring dream, not NIGHTMARE about Level 12 of Doom2, The Factory. I had a dream that had a Plasma Rifle with 300 rounds of Cell Energy fighting the Mancubi on the lower level with 150 Health, and Full Armor. (As I could visibly see my own "HUD") All of a sudden, I got attacked by a swarm of Cacodemons and after I killed them, my health was at 37. I ran around a corner and into the LOF of a nearby Mancubus. As the gigantic fireball hit, I woke up. I think I might've wet the bed on that one, but I wish I could dream my way through FINAL DOOM! :):D:):D

*A reminder to all*: This poll is not intended to offend anyone, besides Liam... ...J/K! This poll is just for fun.

I'll take choice D! *snickers*

*ROFLMFAOAPMP* Poor Liam... *Suppressing Muffled Laughter*

THEY FUCKING BANNED BEATLES SONGS?! WHAT THE FUCK?! *Flies a plane into those morons* EH?! LIKE THAT ASSHOLE?! YOU ARE DISSING THE LEN-MAN! ASSHOLE! *Goes berserk on the censorship shit* ARRRRRRRRRRWWWWWWWAGGGGGHHHHH!

Hey Mordeth! What ever happened to the Beyond Doom TC you were making a few years back? I actually sent a submission to do some levels for it, if you wanted. What happened to it? Did you just change that to Mordeth? Blegh... But thank GOD for EDGE! *Hurrys off and Plays ICD-DDF with TNT* :P

No, but you do realize how easy it is to make up a story like that on a forum like this, right? We can't assume the person is telling the truth, cause more often than not, they aren't. The other thing I was gonna say is what you mentioned further down, about just telling the company if your purchased copy of their game got corrupted or damaged. That's what registration cards are for. They'll look up that info and most likely send you a replacement for free, sometimes with a shipping charge though. You are right, about the lying part, people can easily come on here and make some shit story about losing their copy of Doom, that's why I think they should have to answer some questions, like, for example, telling us the name of specific levels, etc... Screamo, I know how you feel, but Lüt didn't mean any harm to you, it's just that people on Doomworld are getting wary anymore of people asking for warez links, like Lüt said, if Doomworld did start putting up links to warez sites, Telefragged would most likely shut it down, since iD could file a suit against Telefragged for supporting a site that illegally distributes warez. If you can prove that you lost Doom to a member on the board, maybe he/she will send you a copy somehow, on the grounds that you meet the criteria that they ask for. ...I think we should stop fighting now.

I too, have been sorta reamed on for "attempting to promote warez" as some said, a few months back. All I ever offered was to help someone out who had lost their copy of Doom... And who here is going to help them out? And do you honestly expect some kid to go and keep re-ordering and re-ordering Doom over the next decade because he occasionally loses the disks? To date, I have purchased at least ONE of each game in the Doom series, including Final Doom, and Doom/Final Doom for PSX. So that means that after spending... Oh.. $175 total, that I should have to spend another $35 for a lost copy? I don't think anyone should have to do that. I don't think it is fair, however though, for people to illegally download and play ANY game, if they have not gotten a registered copy. You want to know something even scarier? I actually GOT a free copy of Ultimate Doom once... You know how? ID GAMES SUPPORT SENT ME A FUCKING FREE COPY! As funny as it may seem, I called the 1-800-IDGAMES (I think..?) number, and told them my story. My disks were destroyed, when some moron spilled pop all over them and attempted to run them. BANG, it took my A-Drive out, and one of the diskettes, they asked me for a photocopy of the disks, and I couldn't provide one... Guess what happened? 3 or 4 Weeks later, I get a package from somewhere around the Midwest (Illinois?) from the iD software support team. I opened it up, and guess what!!! Inside was Ultimate Doom! (Then on 3 1/2" floppy disks), so if you need a copy of a lost game, try explaining it to the software support team first! Downloading Freeware should be a last ditch effort, because as well, some of them are completely riddled with viruses, and it's not fun, as I have unfortunately found out before. As for all you people who are pirating this game, It's not right. You're still somewhat cutting into iD's profits off these games, even though not many people "buy" them anymore... But still, maybe people can help out if you like, take a little "test" for us, and answer some questions about the game, and who knows...? Maybe on of us can send you a CD burned with a Backup copy of Doom, but otherwise, Piracy is wrong. Sorry to rant, but I thought it'd be nice to put my opinion out. *Runs for cover*

I turn 16 on the 8th of November! GOOD DEAL! HAPPY (late) B-DAY MAC! *Throws a "Me Boss. You not." coffee mug to Mac*

That was the intended response, duh!

ZZT is the precursor to lots of newer Top-View based games, so far. If any of you have played Excelsior, that is like ZZT's big brother. ZZT was a very fun RPG, even IF it used ASCII graphics, it was fun!

Could you please remove that tagline? I find it somewhat offensive.

Yeah, I just noticed that when I remembered 1.24 didn't support Multi. It's going to be a re-do of all the Multi levels from Red Faction, it will be using standard Doom textures, though... :( Of course, I will have to put monsters in it. But it will be cool, nonetheless! :D

Okay, for all I know, none of ya even care... But... I'm starting a new project. It is called... "Red Faction Multi-Conversion" (For those of you who have a PS2 and RF, the Badlands level in Particular is the shit!) Because EDGE 1.24 Doesn't support Multi (I believe EDGE 1.26 does...?) I am going to make them for EDGE 1.26. However, I will also put enemies in the Conversion in case I am wrong about the Multi function of E1.26 The levels so far included are.... Map01: Warlords Map02: Badlands Map03: Blasted Canyon Map04: Installation XJ5 *Map05: Canyon Chase More are to be announced. * - The Canyon Chase is not a Multiplayer level for Red Faction, however, it was in the single player, it is the section of the game where Parker is forced to fight all the Mercs in the back of the Jeep and going along that big convoy on the way to the top of the canyon. Obviously, this will not have any Geo-Mod sections, unless future versions of EDGE support destructable walls. Any input would be greatfully appreciated. :)

I dunno what I was thinking, sorry Jack! :)

First, I'd STRONGLY suggest getting a copy of EDGE (latest version), and then downloading all the DDF documentation and RTS Online (latest version), it's very very fun using that Mod, IMO. :)

Hey people... Been a while since I've been here. I hope to restart my Lifetime-In-Limbo project if I can ever EVER back my hard drive up from the old computer. Hopefully, it will be as easy as that. :) Have fun all. Andy

This is to warn everyone out there who uses MSN Instant Messenger or any web-based email services frequently: A new virus is going around called the "Hello.exe" worm, perhaps some of you have heard of it, or if you are UNfortunate enough like myself, have caught it. For those of you unaware of it, it basically is a self-running worm that self-copies itself and sends itself to contacts on MSN/Hotmail accounts, I was one of the victims of this, and no thanks to the motherfucker that created it, I have lost ALL of my EDGE DDF project work, and must start all over from scratch. Not to mention I lost my hard drive, all Napster, etc.... The hello.exe worm starts up a dialogue with someone on MSN or sends an attached file to a person in your address book, with the following message "i have a file for u, its really funny" DO NOT OPEN IT, DISCARD IT PROMPTLY AND RUN AN ANTIVIRUS ASAP!... I never DID open the .exe file, but it SOMEHOW managed to successfully infect my hard drive and kill everything on it... Which is also the reason for the "lack of Andy"... There is also another worm similar to the "hello.exe" that follows a similar pattern of attack, it runs the same pattern as it pertains to messaging address lists and MSN contacts, but the worm sends a pre-recorded message from someone as "GeorgeW.Bush@whitehouse.gov" and for every single character typed to an infected person on your contact list, it will display four wink-faces ( ;) ), which becomes quite annoying. It also self-sends a file called "choke.exe" and gives a message about "Have fun with this and blast bush ballz", if you accept it, do the same thing as above told... I know this seems like a shitty place to put this, but it'd be a shame to see so much hard-efforted well-done work to be ruined anymore, like mine was. -Andy-

This is for anyone that can explain DeepSea to me. First off, I'm used to a really simple editor that I have (regrettably) been using most of the time I've been editing - DoomEd 4.2. It's probably the easiest editor ever made to use, but the most problem-riddled editor I've ever seen. (But it's not THAT bad) I have started to use most recently, DoomCad and DeepSea, (Which are very kickass editors by my book), and I'm just wondering, what are some pointers to get me on my way for it? (I'm planning on using it for DDFCMPDM) I need help basically with DeepSea at the moment. :) When my project is finished, it'll rule! :) Later! Andy (School is out in three hours or so! YAY!)

Hey people. Back again, no Edge problems anymore (Whew) as I finally got it working, (Sorry that I keep resolving my problems before they get answered), but this is a tough one. About back in '96, I knew a man who worked for CNA (Computer Networking Associates then) named Bill Parker who taught me a lot about how to build Doom maps, I owe him everything towards how good I've become at it. But, he himself made a monster map that I thought was great called 32.wad (As you can guess, 32 levels), I honestly doubt BOBO would like it because it suffers from "Brown sticky algae" syndrome since it's a very dark collection, but if anyone happens to come across it, please find a way to send it to me...? And if Bill ever comes across this message board, send me an email!

Final Doom is over 5 years old, isn't it? I'm sorry, see, my term for Abandonware was simply software that isn't sold anywhere, and that is at least five years old. I thought iD stopped distributing it commercially when they came up with Quake 3 Arena. Well, hope not too many people are mad. *LOL* I guess I am partly to blame, but my intentions weren't to make it a free abandonware source. Since I myself DO have morals, while what I did may lead some to think differently, I just know how hard it is to get a back-up copy. Later people, - Andy -

Hey people. I see Doomworld removed my topic for getting a copy of Final Doom. I guess that some people might see that as piracy, as it is technically termed as that. I was just trying to help, as I've been in that situation where I couldn't commercially obtain a copy of a game I lost a long time ago. I hope nobody thought I was gonna start pirating a bunch of shit and posting it up on Doomworld, I was just trying to help Diluted. Sorry, - Andy -

Try putting this special flag in your attacks.ddf for the "Pentagram weapon" In the SPECIAL section, include this: SMOKING_TRACER It may not be what you want, it's the same smoke tracer that trails Revenant fireballs that track you. I'm not completely sure though, if it is for TRACE ONLY weapons. Maybe you should ask Marc about it, I'm not completely sure right now.

Laser, try taking a look at the firing frames for the original chaingun for Doom2. It should look something like this (from EDGE's original Weapons.ddf) GGGG:F:T:SS:SS "G" Is the graphic used for this particular frame. "F" Is the indexed graphic to use for every frame in that attack (I.E: Each graphic begins with CHGG in the chaingun frame, that is suffixed with a letter, A-(whatever) to indicate which graphic in that series to use) "T" Is the amount of time (tics) that this frame is in use. "S" Is the special flags, all flags must be seperated by a colon. For example, the Chaingun's firing frames look like this: STATES(ATTACK)=CHGG:A:4:NORMAL:SHOOT, CHGG:B:4:NORMAL:SHOOT, CHGG:B:0:NORMAL:REFIRE; Perhaps you should try to use THOSE durations (Tics) for your UZI firing frame, it should shoot at the same rate as the chaingun. I'm not the expert on making/modifying new weapons, I modify them slightly to add some more effect, but if you're looking for some real professional advice, you should talk to Marc (Fanatic), since he's the DDF God :P Also, remember to always close off a statement when you're done with one particular state (Last entry ends with a semicolon [;], not a comma), if you don't, EDGE will crash immediately by giving you a Bad States error. I messed up a good amount of times on that when I started playin' around with it. Most of this, ya probably knew anyways, but I thought I'd just throw it in for future reference anyways :) -Andy-

Honestly, what is the point though, I mean, why not just get a copy of Final Doom if you don't have it? Hell, I have Final Doom in my freedrive account, if ya need it. (Along with Shadow Warrior and I ~TRIED~ to get House of the Dead, but I dunno about that...) PSX Final Doom WAS really fun though, I always had fun playing it, and for some reason, Berserk mode in that game is a LOT more fun than in the PC version. (Perhaps it was the graphic fluidness of an exploding enemy and the noise it made?) If anyone needs Final Doom, just post it up and I'll set you up to get it off my FreeDrive account.
