or, you could make the dark graphic extend so it covers those areas on the screen. just make the resolution of the graphic a bit wider, so it fits on widescreen monitors like Enjay's. widescreen is something that's widely (heh) used nowadays, so support for widescreen resolutions should be something you should always have in mind when making mods for ZDoom and the like.

Yes, you can find a few mods that use similar effects. Usually this is done by using SetHUDSize to 320x200 or 640x480. Then you use a HUDMessage to print a graphic so that the middle of the graphic occupies the effective 320x200/640x480 section in the middle of the screen. However, the graphic itself is bigger (both wider and taller) than 320x200/640x480 and spills over the sides so that if the screen is showing extra bits, those extra bits get covered by the extra edges of the graphic.
And if that description makes sense to you, your reading is better than my explaining.

Hum... there is no dynamic way to resize it according of the resolution? It'd work for the black blinking images, but how make it with more complex images?

Man, why is SCP-173 everywhere these days? It's just a big ugly Weeping Angel without the self-replication thing and just outright kills you instead of timescrewing you.
The SCP foundation has loads of other creepy and/or hostile entities to choose from.

GAMEPLAY
Basicaly it´s a dark maze, when you need to kill 6 to 11 ghouls, when you select a high skill it´ll be more difficult to see the maze and will have more monsters.
There are three monsters, the first one is the ghouldemon, a dark creature with green eyes, it´s easy to kill, but look out, sometimes he "cut the maze" to get you. The second one is the ghoulpain, he´s like the ghouldemon, but with a light face and red eyes, he´s too dangerous when you are in little areas. The third monster is the ravishing, this one is one of the hardest monsters, he can easy get you, and have some powers that´ll scary you when you know what it´s..

So guys, since the new to give it a try and adapt the Cursed Maze to it
too much text to write, here's just the topics.
-Replaced Gzdoom by Gloome
-Made Gloome recognize Cursed maze as an iwad (two actually, one for portuguese language and other for english) (no more need to console launcher )
-Replaced a copyrighted music from map02 (I actually want some feedback about it, because I made it and I'm not right if it's good enough) (yes, I mixed it with three musics, one I made by myself, the other two are credited over the update log, but on the future they will be credited over the credits map, if people enjoy that music)
There're new things to be fixed now
-Heartbeat sounsd like a global sound.
-Ravishing is Really fast.
-Teleport sound is a bit bugged (maybe the fault is from openal itself
and yeah, I'll add new things over it (I wish that Gloome supported the oculus rift from gz3doom )
)
