Made this for personal use with HDest, but I think that others could find some use in it.

I didn't know whether or not to make a new thread about this or not, but I've created a map order randomizer for this pack. I've wanted to make something like this for a while but needed a collection of maps large enough to warrant it. It uses zscript (though it could be done in ACS with some mucking about). There are currently two modes to this in the options.

• Generate 32 maps using all of the map packs in the wad, using the map number order appropriately. For example, you won't get a megawad's map30 on map 2.
• Fully random mode, which is endless and doesn't respect the map numbers.

I've also made it so you can toggle on and off which megawads to use. By default Doom 2 and Cyberdreams is disabled. Daedelus and Hell Factory are completely removed from the generation since they use hubmap stuff. I think those are the only one that could potentially screw up the map order. Cyberdreams, though I love it, seems a bit off to include in something like this due to the gimmick nature of the megawad. I there's any others you think I should exclude by default, let me know.



To start, just start a new game and choose Compendium. It will start up automatically.

Edit: Also if there's any other compilation wads like this that could warrant a randomizer like this, let me know.

As someone who has experimented with Compendium and threw in a map order randomizer (can't remember which one) from time to time, I'd love to be able to use this. The only issue is that the link is dead.

Would this also work with The Sentinel's Lexicon or would that need its own randomizer mod?

Also, does anyone know which of the mods, possibly from Compendium, has a level that initially plays like Hangar, but when you get to the exit, pressing the button reveals a bunch of enemies, either Cacodemons or Demons. And if you go back to the door from the start of the level, you can enter a mirrored version of the level, at least the first area.
