[Fixed] [2.8]Daedalus 'Travel Tube' broken

[Edward-san]

Run a new game with daedalus.wad, skip the intro by firing the pistol, run to the tunnel exit. In map14 'Travel Tube', when the 'tunnel sequence' ends, you won't warp to the next map, but it'll reload the 'Travel Tube' map endlessly.

Happens also in the master branch.

Ugh...

Code: Select all • Expand view

Script 2 (void)
{
   ACS_Execute (7, TTUBE1, 0, 0, 0); // Sets up map for next visit
   ACS_Execute (7, TTUBE2, 0, 0, 0); // Sets up map for next visit
   ACS_Execute (7, TTUBE4, 0, 0, 0); // Sets up map for next visit
   SetPlayerProperty(0,0,PROP_TOTALLYFROZEN); // unfreeze for next map (may not be needed?)
   Thing_Deactivate (ttube_cycle);
   Teleport_NewMap (14, 0); // For Testing Only
   Teleport_NewMap (NextMap, NextSpot);
}


(Fortunately I have the script source for that mod...)

It had two different Teleport_NewMap instructions in the same script and relied on the latter overriding the former?

Obviously.
It looks like they forgot to uncomment the 'testing only' line before releasing it. I remember that some time ago a bug was fixed about exiting a level twice. Looks to me that this here only worked because that bug was present in the engine. To be honest, the only fix I can imagine here is a compatibility option.

fixed by adding a compatibility option.
