This is definitely a pretty big bug. Thanks for letting me know.

Hmmmm, how to fix it...

Hey, sorry for the bump, but I'm thoroughly confused.

Term, or anyone who can answer my question; I am trying to extract my map (MAP10) from the .pk3, but when I try to open it in GZDoom Builder, it refuses to open it. I assume something about how the map is stored may be the cause of the issue, however I am at a loss as to what that issue might be.

If at all possible, would I be able to get a copy of MAP10, as I would like to edit and expand on it.

EDIT: I've lost the old .wad file, hence why I ask.

Iirc all Doom Builders can't really handle .pk3s except as resources, so you'll need to extract the .wad contained in the .pk3 manually before opening it in GZDoom Builder.

See, that's what I've tried to do, and that's when I get the error. I noticed that there seems to be a very significant lack of anything in the wad aside from some barebones basic stuff. How it runs in DUMP2 baffles me, cause now I just think the wad itself is broken, and I have no idea what I did to it to break it.

In Slade, I open your map after that I extracted from Dump 2 and it shows the map but doesn't show the ZNODES lump, so maybe that's why it's broken.

I have a feeling I messed up when saving it the last time I was working on it before sending it to Term. Whatever I did, I hope I can find my old harddrive and get the map back so I can fix it, cause that's super messed up.

Soooo uhhh one question, before I download the latest version, are the massive slowdown problems in the hub map fixed yet? I wanted to review the thing but couldn't get past the first level.

I mean, knowing how DUMP is laid out, you're not really missing anything if you just pistol start each level from the console.

Funny Story. When working on my Dump 3 map (Real is Shit), I had that same problem with GZdoom builder not deciding to load my map.

Another game-breaking bug, which I'm pretty sure has already been documented, occurs in one of those sprawling stages with over 200 creatures--the really ornate ones that send you through atypical teleporters that chuck you a small distance while tons of bad guys get the jump on you. Yeah, that one. Eventually, it tossed me into a pit with floating platforms far above me (this after fighting off a wave of imps, barons, and a cyberdemon when I press two adjacent green buttons). It keeps doing this, no matter what I try, and I keep hitting the teleport borders--boxed in, it seems.

Eventually, I got bored and tried to weasel through with a cheat, but it insisted on keeping me stuck. It also auto-saved right before hitting those switches. I don't know what the deal is, but it aggravated me to no end--I had to forfeit my entire progress in Dump Harder; otherwise, it was like living in a nightmare. Trying to play another level simply reset my counter. If it helps, I was playing Project Brutality 2.03 (please don't tell me I shouldn't be playing a ZDoom-compatible WAD compilation with a ZDoom-compatible gameplay mod that's suddenly unpopular due to over-exposure or so help me God...) during this event.

Eevee's map? What version of GZDoom are you using? Touching the blood floor is supposed to place you atop the beginning 3D floor so that you can try again at jumping from platform to platform. Last worked for me in GZDoom 3.1.0, haven't tested in GZDoom 3.2.0. Either way, that room is the exit room for the map (the portal at the end exits) and you won't miss out on anything by using changemap hubmap in the console.

I mean, completely disregarding your paranoid delusions of being considering inferior due to what you play, the fact of the matter is that yes, it's entirely possible for a ZDoom-compat levelset to be incompatible with a ZDoom-compat mod, even if the former intends for maximum compatibility. Stuff like script conflicts, actor name conflicts, non-standard actor replacements, and some good ol' stuff getting into places it shouldn't can end up with one part of the equation broken.

Now, is that what's happening here? No idea, but don't act like it isn't possible that there's simply an actual issue with that combination.
