[Project] "Knee-Deep in ZDoom"

[Ryan Cordell]

Um, isn't it more of a GZDoom wad than anything?

EDIT: Pageclaim!

[Snarboo]

There's a very minor texture bug at the beginning of Z1M7. Here are some screenshots to illustrate what I mean. These were taken in GZDoom 1.0.24. I apologize for the gamma:

The arrow is pointing to the light fixture with the problem.


It's impossible to see the effect, but the circled flat seems to be moving like a very fast conveyor belt.

Hope this helps in some way. :)

Heh, yeah, you're right. Well spotted. I also noticed, purely by chance when checking this, that it's possible to avoid activating the dormant monsters. As I ran through the initial opening, the demons rushed me from the right and I dodged to the left. On doing so, I stepped onto the slightly raised bit of rock on the left side of the path and passed by 2 steel pillars on the wrong side before coming back onto the path. When I did, the dark imps and the spectres in the distance just stood there, dormant and in the way.

It all happened in a flash, I wasn't intending to walk around the edge like that. It was just a lucky dodge that took me further off the beaten path than I had intended and my clumsy attempt to get back on again.

any help on my problem?

What are you supposed to do at the end of ZE1M8? The boss meter's showing but there's no boss and I have no idea where to go.... The door to the "temple" or whatever it is that's right at the end won't open and there's a pool of lava behind me and no way to get back. I even noclipped and still didn't find anything. Help?

Did you noclip towards the boss?

I don't know what you mean by temple? Do you mean the place where you have to get red, blue, and yellow keycards to get in? If it is that narrow hallway, then you have to wait until the earthquake stops before being able to open the lift.

That's highly unlikely since I managed to fire the SSG while the end sequence was running, when I read I usually end up tapping the mouse a bit for some reason. That pretty much scared the crap out of me.

You can still get out the rocket launcher and blast yourself.

talking of bugs, every time i play z1m8 i have to noclip to get the yellow key, ive killed every monster and the only place to go is the door with the button at the end of the corridor, the button wont switch and the door wont open, ive looked everywhere, how do you open it?

When you get the blue key and open the blue door, you see two ways and 1 door that requires all keycards to get in. Take a left and keep going straight. You will see a door with a switch. Open that door and continue on from there where the yellow key is located. There is no need to use 'noclip'.

also on the very first level i have to clip through the first bloody door to the camera room becuase it wont open on its own :S

What do you mean by camera room? Coordinates, details, or screenshots would be most helpful.

Z1M8: as i said, the door with the switch doesnt work, the switch is non responsive.

Z1M1: and yes the very first door, again, i cant open it

[Vader]

The switch doesn't open the door, it activates/deactivates the forcefields!
Have you even tried pressing use on the door itself?

In Z1M1, there is a switch next to the camera texture... it opens the door!

[LogicDeLuxe]

In Z1M1, there is a switch next to the camera texture... it opens the door!

To be exact, it opens the second door you'll see from the start on, not the very first.
If you find it hard to locate that switch, the rest of the episode would be very frustating, I guess. This particular switch isn't even hidden in a dark corner.

Z1M8: as i said, the door with the switch doesnt work, the switch is non responsive.

I didn't say to press the switch. I said the door with the switch. You should be able to open that door without a switch.

[Virtue]

Z1M1: i cant open the door to the camera room

Z1M8: both the door and the switch dont work.

Hmm... I didn't have this problem. Perhaps it is the Zdoom version. Which version are you using?

Just to make sure we are talking about the same thing here - because I can't see anything unusual in the first few areas of Z1M1 - is one of the doors you are having problems with featured in this video?

yes, its the first door you open, not the locked door you open in the camera room, i have no idea why it just doesnt open!!?

[Enjay]

Strange. There's nothing particularly unusual about that door at all. It should just work when you press your usual "use" button.

There is a line type 121 right in front of the door with lineid set to 0 and arg1 set to 1. I don't know why it's there, but I don't see why that would affect the door anyway.

In the compatibility menu, check "All special lines can block <use>". It it is yes, then turn it off.
