WolfenDoom Redux

[CantSleep]

I appreciate the feedback, Captain J. Time to answer the questions:

- Is it me? Or most of Bosses have slight immune to bullets? I swear i emptied all 100 rounds to armorless Hitler, but he didn't die so i had to gather full ammo again and spray against him. Only Schabbs did that, no?

The problem is that NightFright had been messing around with the difficulty settings, so for whatever reason, on Death Incarnate you get 16 bullets from a clip and like 90 from an ammo box. This isn't the case in Mission Packs, though. I haven't updated Original, Nocturnal & SoD to include these fixes yet. Stay tuned.

Speaking of, some battles like General Fettgesicht's are impossible to win if you empty all your ammo and have to ride the elevator to refill. Because the missiles in this TC are all explosive now.

I see what you mean. There is a chance for Fatface to camp at the elevator when you go refill your ammo.. when I update the Nocturnal maps, I will try to fix this problem.

- Not sure why Lost Levels only have the door and secret wall behavior. Wolf3D and SoD ones are just filled with raising doors.

Caleb's Mission Packs is newer compared to the other levels made by Laz Rojas. Original, Nocturnal & SoD have the Boom format, and I'm too lazy to insert pushwalls in finished maps

- Bosses' gatling gun sound, and Enemies' pistol sound are same as the Player's. I think i could share some available sound effects for ya.

Thanks I'll look into it.

- I expect there will be Lost Level's own weapon sprites too.

I'm not sure, there's a better probability the MP40 could get replaced with an STG. Blue guns just ain't my kind of thing.

- I see that the Lost Levels' treasure items are randomized. But i do hope the Wolf3D and SoD act the same.

Could be possible, but it will take a lot of time to examine the original DOS maps and replace the same treasure objects in Wolfendoom with "item caulked" ones.

Also Plutonium? Control Panel? I think they're actually Cannon Shell and Time Bomb.

Golden cannon shells? Huh, no wonder the Nazis ran low on their budgets. These pickup messages are based off of the original version's treasure names and ECWolf's definitions.

Just replace all the weapons with something different. No need to be grossly blue just like what Lost Levels did.

I can see that. But you could just randomize the sprites.

I don't know, but i'm sure AFADoomer described Plutonium as a Shell. But you're the boss.

EDIT: I also just found out that SoD's purple brick wall texture is still... Well, bright Purple. Since the Turquoise color is gone, can you handle this one too?

And about the Bobbing movement, it's still there. Just like Vanilla one. I don't think the Original Game also did that.

I'm not planning to remove the view bobbing. This is WolfenDoom, after all, so not everything has to be 1:1 to Wolfenstein.

[Captain J]

Well, you have a point there. I'm really don't want to see this TC collection to be an uncanny-valley level of Wolf3D mimicry. Some changes of them are quite nice!

-
I cannot enter this dark corner. I'm pretty sure there's supposed to be a cage door, no?


- Found some texture error.

- It's quite generous of you making Pistol and even Knife automatic. Intentional?

- Differently voiced Enemy roster is doable. But the Bosses? Some are rather drastically different or plays nothing at all upon death. Lost some of the charm to them. For some reason, Hitler's death sound is "SCHEISSE!", instead of "Eva, Auf Wiedersehen." Hence making his death animation awkwardly longer for no reason.

- Just found out that Nazis are killing each other during the fight. Friendly Fire is positively confirmed. Even the Bosses are not entirely immune to their own missile explosion.

- I bet FormGen didn't know how to edit their sprites properly. Weapons used by Prof. Quarkblitz, Bats and Robot are acting quite strange. So i share my edited sprites for you:

[CantSleep]

Noted all of these issues, I kinda don't have much time. I appreciate the sprite fixes, though.

[Captain J]

Just take your time and take some of my feedback, really! I don't mind. Just making some suggestions here.

---

- So at the first level, can you really find the key and unlock this door? Is this actually possible in the original game as well? If that's not true, perhaps you should replace it into that small door texture that is inaccessible.


- Speaking of door, this one somehow won't open.


- Is it me? Or the elevator door opens in wrong direction sometimes?


- The room where you get the spear has basic door and it requires gold key... Weird.


- The texture does not match completely. And yes, it's a pushwall, but kinda defeats its purpose.


- I think these tesla coils need their own sound effect. Just don't make it loud!


- I can't climb the ladder. Not sure why ladders are placed even though i just can't climb.


- Some pushwalls does not provide the cover and it's kinda deceptive. Bummer.


- This particular locked door won't play the opening sound. And i'm sure the other locked doors in the map would act the same.


- Texture Misalignment found.

- Also i would like to share some sprite and texture fixes just for you!

[Captain J]

Recently played The Ultimate Challenge and here's the feedback, if you have more spare time!

---

- Found this texture error.


- This pushwall is somewhat bright, defeats its purpose.


- I think i gave you the long stone pillar sprite before. They still look short to connect the ceiling!


- 2nd Texture error.


- Lighting error found.


- 3rd Texture error. It doesn't look aligned better. Have you ever considered scale it?


- For some reason i can't press this exit switch. Was this real in the original game? I don't remember, actually.


- Texture error under the bridge.


- This pushwall is already pushed after i got here.


- Some doors in this particular map has minor texture errors. It's just a small nitpick.


- Is this pushwall actually not working, or i have to open this on elsewhere?


- Uhhhhhh i think i forgot to mention that those are not a long pipe replacement. It's actually a lantern that you suppose to replace the vanilla one!

Also think some of those ledges should be taller to connect them pipes.


- This radiation pool has no smoke effect. Since the fog is actually modified, would be nice of this one actually spawn some smoke.


- In this map, some doors and pushwalls have sound effects with quieter volume.


- So let's talk about this Robot. This one also takes like 200 bullets to go down and it's very aggressive. The map have stairs to move around, sure. But they're rather thin, not doing me of any covering favor. Also it often kills itself by launching rockets against the wall.


- Was this texture actually in the original game? Looks quite mismatching if you ask me.


- Just noticed: the spear still uses ID version of sprite.


- Also JUST noticed that i can't pickup any weapon once i wield the spear. Spear of Destiny is also problematic and Angel of Death arena has plenty of ammo boxes... Even though i can't use any firearm against it.


- My character literally freezes when i get killed by Death Incarnate. Can you please check out the Angel of Death as well?

Also more sprite fixes are coming soon!

[CantSleep]

Seems I didn't do enough testing on The Ultimate Challenge, either that or I didn't notice 99% of the texture errors, lol. I'll check these out, thanks for reporting.

[Captain J]

Sadly i now have to check out for Classic Wolf3D and SoD levels as well. But in the meantime, use some of my new resources i've edited!

Credits are inside, but let me know if you want to verify some of the sprites.

EDIT:

---

- Was this intentional? It has no pushwall at all and it counted as a secret.


- I had hard times finding this particular switch that opens the pushwall that contains gold key. It's too dark, so it's hard to find. Maybe add a brightmap to it? Or just brighten this place up.

- Tesla Coils in The Ultimate Challenge does not glow unlike RtD's.

[CantSleep]

I very much appreciate the sprite fixes!! Also, I might have forgotten to unmark a few sectors as secrets. Those areas used to be mandatory secrets, which ZikShadow and I hunted down and removed. I'll try to think of something about the dark switch, it was unintentional but it's interesting that it can be spotted in dark

[XLightningStormL]

You should add tags for the Wolf weapons, it's odd to have the selection pop up and say "Brass Knuckles" for the Knife, or "Shotgun" for the Machine Gun.

Good catch. I never use tags, but this could be a good addition.

- Texture misalignment.


- Is this normal? Why this door requires a key to open?


- This pushwall doesn't count as a secret.


- What's up with this mismatching textures? Was this included in the original game?


- This pushwall won't open.


- So the locked doors shows color of the certain key to use. Is this also in the Lost Episodes as well?




- Some props are actually glowing for weird reason.


- I'm pretty sure the time of Epsisode 2 was night. Not day.


- How come every pacman ghosts are all red?


- Fake Hitler's flame sound effect doesn't exist.

- Original Episodes lack overall environmental sound effects and the terrain changes. Nocturnal has some of them, though.

And i've managed to edit more stuff for your wolfendoom collection. Like actual lift textures for both games, Lost Episodes' icon and the idle rotations for doberman!

EDIT: fixed some lift textures of being misaligned. Oops.

Hey guys. Why don't you put Spear Revisited remake for Wolfendoom into whole package? https://www.moddb.com/mods/wolfendoom/a ... isited-v12
