A mapinfo flag could be added that exempts certain levels from the dmflag, and that could be put into the default doom2 mapinfo in the zdoom.pk3 file if there was a level that didn't work well with the need-to-kill-all-monsters dmflag.
People playing netgames that want to use this dmflag with pwads would be expected to make an add-on pk3/wad to fix the levels' MAPINFO if there was a map this didn't work well with.

Also, if the host is in the game (which is always, unless its a dedicated skulltag game), that person could always just disable the dmflag from the menu for the end of that level if they didn't make an edited MAPINFO beforehand.

I don't know, maybe skip the map or choose a map set without that kind of bug.
The flag is optional so player are free to choose.

It can be interesting to force players to explore the level and as "all monsters m b k" it prevent some player to
do speedrun tricks and add an interesting challenge to coop game.

Even DOOM 2 map15 :P

Sorry I should have thought before posting this.

level.killed_monsters is always smaller or equal than level.total_monsters so != is equivalent to < in this case.
Unlike other source ports ZDoom increases the total monster count when a monster is being spawned.

EDIT: nevermind

I suck at coding but what about this:

Code: Select all

level.killed_monsters != level.total_monsters)
Isn't "<=" better for this because of pain elemental, please don't yell at me I don't know the code at all.

Why not "all secrets must be found" dm flag?

Very nice, you should only ever really be using autoaim if you are playing without the mouse ala original Doom, it seems like cheating to use it with mouselook, how about a flag that only allows autoaim if mouselook is disabled?

Okay, I've added an autoaim disabling deathmatch flag. I've put it in with the other flags.

See attached.

I removed it because it was based on me not reading the post as fully as I should have, and I made some assumptions that I shouldn't have. Sorry about that.

To be honest, I thought it kind of made me look stupid.
