Welcome to the ZDoom Forums!

now, why the boss isn't showing, I have no idea.

Turns out I ran right past the lava pool right when it was forming.... Apparently if you do that whatever trigger it is that makes the final boss appear won't work. I reloaded the autosave from that point and let the pool of lava form this time so that the final boss would appear....

Excellent WAD< btw. There are a lot of glitches and missing/black textures when running under the latest GZDooM, and other minor or sometimes not so minor issues here and there, including the little possessed fast-moving sliding "conveyor belt texture" that someone already pointed out here, and even sopme weird shrooms/acid effect colours and appearing/disappearing textures on top of other textures.... This made for some trippy effects with the lights definition under GZDooM, but it was still a very enjoyable experience overall. An easy 5/5; can't wait 'till Ep. 2 get's finished.... ;P

Missing textures are most likely a fault with glows under GLDefs, as those glows are a slope's worst nightmare, infact.

Missing textures could also mean you're using Doom2 instead of Doom!

Yeah, I can almost guarantee the black textures are there because the Doom2 IWAD is being used rather than the Doom one. That's exactly how the missing textures manifest when doom2.wad is used.

I found a missing texture on Map03 when going for the blue key, right before the nukage pit with the switch. If you look up, there seems to be a missing texture.

yes!! thank you it works now

Generally, when you are playing anything new, you should leave all the compatibility options on their default value. Their purpose is really just as their name implies: for compatibility. Specifically, with older wads that relied on the different behavior of the engine.

I never use the compat options and didn't even realize that was one. I just had a look at my options. Everything is set to no except interpolative monster movement. Ironically, that's the only one that I don't know what it actually does. I've checked the Wiki and can't find it - so, what does that do?

[edit]Nevermind, I found it and trying it on and off the difference can be seen.[/edit]

Yeah, sorry, I DID use Doom 2 instead of Doom 1 - it's a habbit I guess....

I have to say, I cannot wait for skulltag version and the new updated. this topic has alot of replies.

Yeah, I'll wait until 1.1 to attempt my 100% all go through.

@GeeDougg: Welcome back to the forums.

@Penguinator: Thanks! Although I'm technically not really "back"; I'm extremely busy with school (which is the primary reason for why I disappeared again) and I don't think I'm going to have any more free time to come back to the forums for a while - I just pop my head back in now from time to time, just to opinionate on thigns that I really feel like I need to, and also reading a few threads.... The main reason I came back temporarily this time was KDIZD - and as much work as I had to do, I couldn't skip out on playing the finished product, especially when it happened to be a project that I'd waited for and watched desperately during the past 2 or 3 years; so I DL'ed it and got GZDooM working again and played the whole thing through, and naturally when I ran into some problems (albeit moronically newbish ones) I thought I'd plead for help here.... Anyways I think I've yapped enough here for now. Thanks for noticing I was gone.

Cheers

A perfectly done mod for doom. I really liked that . btw there are some bugs that I found such as some sector bugs, some texture bugs ( they appear black ) and something that I don't think a bug but when Irun out of ammo and press fire again it gives me plasma cannon which I never used till all game ( noticed this on final boss arena ) except all those PERFECT 9/10!

'Cause you didn't use DOOM.WAD but DOOM2.WAD. This is "DOOM EPISODE 1: KNEE-DEEP IN ZDOOM", not "ZDOOM2: HELL ON ZDOOM."

Standard ZDoom behavior, switching to best available weapon (except the puny or dangerous ones) when out of ammo. This is not a bug, just a proof that you did cheat!

There was no plasma cannon (unless I'm mistaking it for something else) in KDiZD. Also, it can't be cheating because when you do 'give all' or idfa, you can't even get the plasma rifle (assuming that the plasma cannon is actually a plasma rifle).

The so called "Plasma Cannon" goes first because of the weapon.selection order. Everytime you run out of ammo, it automatically selects the weapon with the lowest number.
