Thanks, Enjay!

You are correct - they *should* be counting but are not (internally, the idle sneakable monsters are FRIENDLY, so don't count as kills). This is fixed in GitHub now (I don't think this warrants re-releasing - since there are maps where you cannot get 100% kills, anyway).

I reckon it can be explained by the player just being so darned stealthy that even the game didn't notice the kills. ;)

Brave... I can't play through without cheating above skill 3.

Are they alerting when they walk up on you, or are they walking up to/around you without noticing you? If you are just lying in wait in the dark (with your stealth bar showing less than a full bar) and stabbing when they are in close range, then that's entirely as intended.

Let's just say that the guards don't see very well in the dark... Or even in dim areas. (Their "eyesight" was more realistic at one point, and the first level in particular was no fun at all for anyone except for me, and then only because I understood all of the internal mechanics *and* knew the level layout)

They're just walking straight towards me while I'm crawling straight towards them. (stealth bar at full, but in a lit-up area...notably the top floor of the prison area with the blue/cyan doors)

I'll have to look into this more. There may be an issue with patrolling (as in, actually assigned a patrol path to follow) enemies 'alerting' - yelling and adding to your sighted enemy count - but not actually firing at you.

Can't run it :(

I still using WinXp and it's not a Win32 valid application, for some reason. I think i'll download GZD 3.0.

Yes, you should be able to run the .pk3 with whatever current GZDoom release will run on your system.

Thank you :) So nice to read that, task that seemed so big and impossible to make at first (and then the frustration of none of it being included in c1 release, it was "all or none" for Daniel at that point). When I got into that "hires" project (despite the "scar" of so much of my hires art being scrapped before from one of older projects), I didn't really realize the sheer amount of enemies and npcs this mod has in total, heh :) But positive in-work feedbacks helped to keep going and at the end it was totally worth it, the difference that it makes to the mod.

I keep making new art/enemies for Chapter 3 (already made alot) and you'll keep seeing it there as well :)

Looks like you got the best advertisement one could possibly wish for:

Now I also cannot ignore it any longer (was waiting for a major update all the time). Downloading and playing this weekend!

Congratulations to the team! :)
I still remember seeing the first screenshot of the mod when you made this thread, I was impressed and i thought it was really outstanding, but i've never could've expected it to evolve into this, you've accomplished some amazing things which will shape the future of the Doom community for the next decades to come.

Torm & Team, you'd better add this to the site! I'm geeking out that JOHN ROMERO has endorsed your project.
