Changelog
6.06 Readme

Above is a massive changelog from 6.06.2 to 6.66. Please take note of the bugs section.
[spoiler="What happened to 6.06?]It's gone. I have lost interest in maintaining older versions.
I know some people enjoy the old days of versions like v5, but too many things have changed since then. I don't like being stuck in the past.
I believe in moving forward, to making a better experience and enhancing the mod in new and inventive ways. I wish to evolve and become a better modder.

As such, I'm offering no support for the old versions. All bug reports related to them will be dismissed.[/spoiler]

AEoD team

As of 6.66 alpha <X>, DBThanatos and Michaelis have moved onto other projects.
They are no longer involved with the mod at all. I am now the owner of this mod.
On behalf of all the enjoyers of AEoD, thank you for all your contributions. This mod wouldn't be possible without you.
I wish you all God speed and best of luck in all future endeavors. Rock on, people!

I snipped out all older release versions. They're dead, they're gone, and they're not coming back. Sorry, but it was clutter and nothing but history. Plus it allured false pretenses that we actually still had the older versions around. In truth, we don't.

But you can still find their relevant information in DBThanatos' thread.

Good day whenever i try running this in gzdoom i keep on getting the following error.

Script error, "AEoDDat.pk3:decorate/monduke.txt" line 3339:
Expected '(', got 'TNT1'.

I am currently running gzdoom using one of the newest svn's. It seems to run fine on the latest version of zdoom.

[Major Cooke]

I'm aware. I've just been busy working on other things and haven't had much time to invest in fixing AEoD just yet, but will soon enough.

I'll be working on bringing up the next version to GZDoom 2.4, should be out by this weekend sometime.

[Major Cooke]

6.07 Beta 1 released. Grab it in the original post.

Please remember two things:

1. This is a beta. Expect things to be non-working and/or broken here and there. It should still allow you to have fun though with new content.
2. The changelog has a list of bugs that are already known at the bottom.

[Captain J]

So it gets fancier and gets new thread, eh? Gotta love this mixed-up mod and thanks a bunch for that.

Cooke, will you include weapons from Overwatch (i heard that MyNameIs is doing some Overwatch rips) and Doom 2016?

and replace the Thunderbolt and Grenade Launcher sprites with Doom 2016's Lightning Gun and Grenade Launcher respectively

[Gorec]

doom 4 bfg can fire even if there is no ammo(same for skull saw thing altfire)
also there is black blood particles when you shoot somebody

DBThanatos actually took time to re-rip the thunderbolt from quake 4 so I doubt he'd want to replace it.

The grenade launcher, if you provide me some sprites and all, I'll gladly look into it. I never did the ripping on D4D -- in fact, the sprites were made by Neccronixis.

Noted.

[Major Cooke]

Oh! Another thing I forgot to mention while at it.

Directors now despawn all pickups except for weapons and demon morphs after 2 minutes. Get the goodies before they go! This is for lag prevention but two minutes should be more than enough time.

[Someone64]

I suggest making that optional and adjustable, please.

[Major Cooke]

The weapons don't disappear, naturally. The big reason why I made it this way was to help reduce lag, but I'll consider making it an option.

[Gorec]

even if i set bullet puffs to sprites there is still particles
