Contrary to popular belief, we are not all-knowing-all-seeing magical beings!

If you want help you're going to have to provide lots of info. Like what is your hardware, what is your operating system, what version of GZDoom/LZDoom/whatever you're using, what mods you're loading, how you're loading it, what you've already tried for fixing the problem, and anything else that is even remotely relevant to the problem.

We can't magically figure out what it is if you're going to be vague, and if we feel like you're just wasting our time with guessing games we will act like that's what you're really doing and won't help you.

I noticed that in Hexen when I advance to the next hub all my items carryover including items with a stack of 20 or so... is this normal, I was under the impression that it was like Heretic where you get to keep only 1 of each item. Thanks

Yes, this is normal, Hexen does not reset the inventory.

I actually thought that was the case too - but I've just checked in vanilla Hexen in DOSBox. On MAP02, I gave myself all items and then went through the exit that takes me to the next hub and I still had 25 of all items after the intermission text.

Thanks for checking that,
I actually had read that false info on some webpage when looking up one of the items wish I could remember...
but of course that webpage is wrong, thanks for clearing that up

For reference, when it comes to the Doom Engine games (Doom, Heretic, Hexen, Strife), the Doomwiki (that's doomwiki, NOT doom.wikia) should always be your number one source of information. Why there are still two wikis is a weird story, but the jist of it is all the relevant people migrated over to doomwiki (which is privately hosted on MancuNET; notice there are no ads on doomwiki), but the wikia site had to stay up for weird copyright reasons or something like that. I wouldn't even use the wikia site at all; much of the information there is either missing or wrong, and it has all the problems many of the more annoying wikia sites have for actual browsing.
