Strange Aeons v5.7

Projects that have specifically been abandoned or considered "dead" get moved here, so people will quit bumping them. If your project has wound up here and it should not be, contact a moderator to have it moved back to the land of the living.

So you could run it with TNT.wad for example. Not 100% sure about Freedoom.
The only unreplaced sprites in the entirety of the mod I can think of is the single shotty and maybe some decorations here and there. It might look a little different but it wouldn't induce any weird graphical glitches I would think.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't make a difference which you use. The last update I made was to make sure the ending screens worked properly when run with Doom 2.

Don't forget the rocket launcher.

Right. Somehow forgot about all that. Derp.

While I'm here, I'd like to ask if it's okay if I clean up the monsters/weapons only addon so that it only has one decorate/sndinfo/whatever lump and post it here?

Reason being, I was trying to host a Z& server with it through All Fear The Sentinel's service but apparently hosting servers on a Linux machine with mods that have duplicate lump names causes errors to occur when people try to connect. At least that's the explanation I was given.

I was reminded of "Chazm the Rift".
Very good mod.

That's fine with me, if the current version causes errors on other systems. Go for it.

Where are you getting that download link? The OP links to the download page with the most recent version.

EDIT: Oh, I see what it is. The txt file wasn't updated I guess. The file itself should be up to date though.

Ok well, I notice two errors when playing.



And at the start of every level it says Null invalid ACS module

The short answer is that they're completely harmless and can be safely ignored.

This is honestly a small thing, but I think it might be worth adding a keyconf entry to both the main TC and the gameplay mod so that if vsmooth is loaded before either one you'll still have a functionally identical TravelerPlayer but the weapons leftover from Doom will have smooth animations. You can try it for yourself and see what I mean if you download the below file and then add it to the end of the load order mentioned above.
