SyntherAugustus Posted March 17, 2015 Anything made by Ribbiks is designed for players with a lot of patience. It's not meant to be easy. Edit: for a tip, you might want to considering forcing infighting into the some of the battles. I remember a moment in one of the maps it was rather crucial to survive the exact timing of when to force the revenant blobs to fight the Hellknights/Barons. 0 Share this post Link to post

Tomash Posted March 22, 2021 Hello. First post here. I know this topic is old and probably nobody looks here anymore. I've registered here only because of this. And Stardate 20X6 is an absolutely awesome WAD that I stumbled upon thanks to decino. I'm playing on HMP like a pleb. There is a very annoying bug with Stardate 20X6 and prboom (2.1.5 on Linux). With "timers", made in classical way: a doomguy voodoo doll on a moving floor. Well, in my case sometimes the doomguy seems to be on a super-slow half of the moving floor, resulting in excruciatingly long wait times, and I know this is not the intended behavior thanks to decino's videos and noclipping to see what's going on. This affects, for example, level's 6 final fight (the waiting for arachnotrons to spawn in becomes super long) and level's 7 fight in cross-shaped room: first, there is a long delay between cyberdemon and revenants, which makes this fight way easier, and secondly the wall blocking the switch to elevator down (after the fight) takes a loooong time to uncover the switch. 3 Share this post Link to post

Does the bug occur if you pass the -complevel 9 parameter upon launching PrBoom+? 0 Share this post Link to post

Well, I am an idiot, Decino asked the same in the comments. I will retest with -complevel 9 (I was sure it's the default). It was probably this. 0 Share this post Link to post

Default is it's own complevel, always be sure to set the proper complevel when using PRBoom+ Also...is that an owl on your shoulder? 0 Share this post Link to post
