The Joy of Mapping 5: Winter Weekend - FINAL.

[lwks]

Oh boy...If only I'd seen this earlier...oh well, will pay more attention to the Levels board next time. When will the general community be getting this big boy?

[Wiw]

I'm sorry I didn't come through in the end.

[Armaetus]

Is this being compiled for a megawad and a half or something?

[Jimmy]

Currently undergoing internal testing, yes.

EDIT: If you're interested in grabbing an advance copy (entirely rough and in-progress, mind) for playtesting, feel free to join the Discord.

[Armaetus]

I'll just be waiting, I try not to play WIP mapsets for my YouTube channel (Doom Video Vault).

[Jimmy]

I'm pleased to announce we're ready to show our work. This session has been absolutely massive, but I think it's our most successful yet. I have a feeling you will enjoy every map in its own unique way.

Please enjoy, everyone.

[Jimmy]

Have a small but critical update. Many thanks to the people who've been streaming this and whatnot.

Current Release: Public Beta #2 (51MB)

This now requires GZDoom 3.2.5's OpenGL renderer.

[Fishytza]

Found a bug.
So, I started a new game, unlocked episode 2's secret level (not spoiling how), I go up the stairs to enter said secret level...
And I can't use any of my weapons. I know they're in my inventory it's just that selecting them seems impossible. So I had to enter E2SECRET via console to properly play it.

Playing with GZDoom 3.2.5. No mods.

[Jimmy]

...how in the hell did that one escape me?

Sorry for that. The fix is really simple, just add this to the E2SECRET definition in MAPINFO.

Code: Select all

	resethealth
	resetinventory
	resetitems

These three parameters apply to the three other secret levels, and probably weren't copied over to E2SECRET after I made that one a secret level in a snap decision. Oh well.

[Fishytza]

Another bug.
In E3M6 I was able to get the yellow keycard without having to press the two switches. I only found out about the switches when I got suspicious as to why the level was so easy to exit.

[Jimmy]

Forwarded to the mapper, thanks.

[PFL]

Oh, me too, no weapons from the starting hub !! 3.2.99

[SiFi270]

Sorry to bump, but did later GZDooms do something to make this incompatible or something?

[Jimmy]

Sorry, that happens due to our MAPINFO referencing an event handler that doesn't exist. Not sure how it happened in the first place but it does indeed break in the current version of GZDoom.

Hotfix coming real soon. In the meantime, you can safely remove the "MenuHandler" keyword from the "MAPINFO.game" file in the PK3.
