your best bet would be to use a launcher like ZDL or DoomLauncher (which has a thread somewhere here on the forums, but I'll let you dig for it)

you might also find this comparison image helpful: the brightness gradient here goes 8 units at a time/per line here - so you can really see how flat the lighting is in the "standard" and "bright" modes edit: apparently "dark" is the default mode, which has a really steep dropoff once you start getting down there in brightness. so if you change that to something with a more uniform dropoff (I use "vanilla" these days which was added in one of the newer GZDoom versions, but imo "software" is also quite good), you'll probably start to see something that more closely matches your expectations

that is some jaw dropping sector work, my word

this looks cool as hell! so neat to see this sort of theme-within-a-theme. I love those laser chandeliers :D

this looks cozy as hell! I love blue sky themes like this, and everything you've done in this scene looks fantastic damn this looks excellent. really love all the geometry details - feels very different from your usual stuff

I can tell you nothing excites me more than Lutz working with a metal theme. this looks amazing!

you definitely can do it this way yeah! but, it is prone to getting borked with gameplay mods. it's not too difficult to inadvertently make a replacement Thing in a gameplay mod replace the old one without properly transferring any pickup/death actions. most mods probably do it properly, I reckon, but it still feels like a safer bet to go with lines for me

here's the way I have usually been handling this with ACS when working in UDMF format: Set up the line to activate the trap. This line will call a script, be triggered when player walks over, and be repeatable Set up some lines around the key, which will activate another script to signify that the player has gotten the key Set up the scripts using the script editor in UDB (F10 is the default hotkey I think) If you're not familiar with scripting or any sort of coding yet, it might be helpful to just write out the logic in plain language first, like so: Then, turn that plain stuff into real scripts

I've bounced around various maps in this since release, but finally gave map12 a proper go this weekend and had an absolute blast. definitely one of my favorite maps in recent memory - absolutely love how many fights feature the horseshoe-shaped arena but with such different setups that it all feels so unique

thanks for pointing this out @Codename_Delta! @kalensar is definitely right that mods don't account for that, but in this case it's more of an oversight than anything. it is admittedly going to be low on the priority list for me, but I'd love to implement a fix for this. with the added firepower of supercharge's weapons vs vanilla, I think it's probably not warranted to have double double ammo for the reloading weapons on ITYTD haha I can't think of an easy solution off the top of my head though, outside of just removing double ammo from ITYTD, which I don't want to do. but I'll think on it!

what a day, damn
