Well yeah obviously IDCLEV doesn't apply to the remake maps (because their lump names are different). But if you want to skip to a particular map, go to the console and type "map SSTMAPXX" with XX being the two-digit map number. It corresponds to the original Doom2 map numbers. Like, the remake of "Downtown" (doom2 MAP13) is SSTMAP13.


Should be pretty straightforward. ;]

[mckracken]

do you think it would be much work to replace the plasma from sst with the one from BD? (same for the monsters)

[Ænima]

I'm not gonna copy+paste from Brutal Doom ...

[Ghostbreed]

Thanks.

Since Skulltag has become defunct as a source port, does this mean you will change the project name (IE Super Zandronum? )

Lol. That's probably the 10th time that's been asked. (I should make an FAQ section. )


No, I probably won't change the name for a few reasons.

1.) People are used to "Super Skulltag". Plus it's easier to remember because it's an illiteration! ;p
2.) It continues in "the spirit" of Skulltag mapping. Many of the maps are also in Skulltag format (most of them were made before UDMF was supported in Skulltag).
3.) It still relies on skulltag_actors.pk3 and skulltag_data.pk3 anyways. Keeping the original name would make this more obvious to new users.
4.) All of the map names start with "SST_____" and i don't feel like going through them and changing them all to "SZD___". ;p

You should really remove that FEAR2-like HUD.

I plan to. Not sure if you saw in the Zandronum thread, but Alienwolve and I are working on a new HUD together which will be more simplistic and will use the helmet visor itself. We'll still include the old HUD but it won't be the default.

[Ghostbreed]

Sorry, no, don't check Zandronum forums that often. But that sounds great

[Ænima]

Update:

The next version will include female zombies! 1 out of 8 zombies are female. This goes for all zombie types (grunt, sergeant, chaingunner, SSG guy). Females are faster and attack more often, but have less HP.

[Ghostbreed]

They should've more HP actually. You know that females can live longer than males, right?

[SamVision]

What I don't really like about the HUD is the Soldier of Fortune loading bar ammo counter. It just doesn't look right.

[mckracken]

i dont like the HUD at all.
and is there no way to get rid of it completely? (black lines visor)
