Ralph and I cooped this a few nights ago and had the following two problems in E1M8:

1. You know that section of floor that collapses into lava? The one located near the lift that takes you to the first of your final battles. The coop respawn point is located just before the aforementioned lava pit hallway and it's extremely difficult and frustrating to get across once it's collapsed. We had to lower the gravity to stop dying so much. I dont know if you would consider this a bug necessarily but I think it should be looked into.

2. It's possible for those two "mega-barons" (I cant remember their names) that you fight before the real last boss to follow you all the way back to the lava hallway that I mentioned in my first point.

It's a song by deathz0r called "Supar Doom 2 Doom Mix!"

Hmm

I think it's just e1m1 that ends up ruining things for a lot of people. It's a pretty ugly map and not fun to play. This is unfortunate since the rest of the wad looks much better. Like others have mentioned, E1M1 is this big mish mosh of textures in every room. This makes rooms look indistinct and is hard on the eyes. I was also put off by the coronas on light sources, particularly the orange ones. They just didnt look right in the available palette.

The team's treatment of E1M8 was very nice.

Like BS said, it's possible that some kind of keyboard combo is causing the display rotation. If you have an ATI card or integrated chip, this process is handled by a service called the "ATi hotkey poller". If you dont normally use keyboard combos to adjust your screen settings then you can try disabling this service to see if it fixes the problem by going to start > run > services.msc. Look for Ati hotkey poller in the list, select it, go to its properties and change the startup type to "manual". You can set it back to "automatic" if you decide you ever regularly need this service.

Nvidia drivers also have a hotkey menu somewhere but I dont know enough about disabling it.

Talk about trolling.

This might sound really silly but is your left mouse button not assigned as the fire key? Did you accidentally bind it to something else?

ctrl+left/right

You could do an image>adjustments>replace color to get rid of large areas quickly.

You could also just set image interpolation to nearest neighbor, which is what I think blackfish did. Or try bicubic sharper for a little less of "outlining".

Edit: Wait what's wrong with resizing them after converting to indexed color? I believe this still uses the nearest neighbor method but at least it's "safe".

MGS has a superior story and characters. It's generally fleshed out much better.

However I had more plain old fun with SC1 and 2. There's more variety and I prefer the way the whole stealth thing is handled in that one. Never played chaos theory.

How would bullets be defined?

Will this allow more than one alt per slot?

It's almost as hilarious as making Microsoft Bob say naughty things.

also many times in the past I've had sleep paralysis, where I'd wake up half-asleep, half-way (like wackyname) but couldn't move. its pretty terrifying :(

Aye, I've had that before. I woke up in the middle of the night, unable to move, and there was some malicious person standing on my chest. Freaky as hell. However after some reading I found out this is not uncommon at all.

First time I was not quite right was when I was about 5 or 6 years old. I had a very high fever that caused me to start hallucinating.

I only remember it very vaguely. I remember being in the bathroom and attempting to put batteries in my (illusory) mom's back as if she were an electronic toy. My actual mom walked in on this and freaked out, threw me under a cold shower and then took me to the hospital. I think I also saw things like gremlins (from the movies) in my closet.

I missed a highly anticipated episode of ducktales because of that fever.

Yes, it wont ask you for the original doom3 disc during installation. In fact I just tested now with a copy of doom3 patched to version 1.3

Yes it should work fine.

The windows could use a 1 pixel shadow projected from the upper left. Also I think the grainy texture on the glass looks kinda weird since that effect is used on the wall too. I dunno, I guess they look nice.

It's an expansion.

Im all for variety.

2. The original game ended with a series of 320x200 graphics, each slide being dismissed and the next shown by the player pressing a key. I can remember trying to do this back when I coded the original engine but it crashed the game. How hard would it be to add this to Eternity? This is not important but would be nice.

I've been bugging quas about reading keyboard input for the longest heh. But I can think of a way to do this using hud widgets. You could create a final map with the player in front of a usable line and then have that line call appropriate hud widget functions and display your image lumps when used.

Not the most elegant thing in the world but it should work.

For that matter I think this might work to obscure the role call at the end of doom2. Not really sure if it's possible to call scripts during that part.

8 bit PNG (or just use cyan/the transparent index).

A better way to work with doom's palette in photoshop is to periodically go to Image > Mode > Indexed Color and apply the doom palette.

This is called the tutti frutti bug. It happens for a few different reasons, but it's hard to pinpoint without knowing how you're building this.

Here are the possible reasons:

1. You used a short texture (less than 128 high) on a taller 1s line, or a transparency on a 1s line
2. You used a transparent texture on an Upper or Lower surface.
3. You accidentally set an X offset greater than the width of the texture applied (your editor should account for this).

My question is why you're bothering with a transparent area at all. A quick way to make an overhang like the one you describe is to simply have a really short texture (say 2-4 pixels) applied to a series of 2s lines which form the shape of the faucet and then offset them as necessary.

I have a touchscreen-only phone and I can understand what fraggle means. Missing that tactile quality of a keypad makes it sort of lack something. Also I find it easier to misdial things. That may or may not be to do with the screen itself.

The iPhone is very pretty.

Coffee and uh... water I guess.

Grey Goose vodka. Best vodka no the planet (that I've had anyway). Little pricey unfortunately.

Someone once gave me this vodka who's name I cant remember. It was combined with honey and peppers. I wish I could remember the name.

Brugal rum. Im normally not crazy about rum but this stuff was pretty good.

As far as mixed drinks I tend to stick to the vodka creanberry. I went through a martini and gin and tonic phase but that's over.

Stella Artois.

I really dislike thick, dark beers. I dont get all the fuss over them.
