With permission granted from Enjay (despite it not being my original intention ), I have released my updated version of Enjay's famous NJTRAIN.wad (Runaway Train) to fix a particular oddity I noticed: Why does this map have 4 player starts, yet not work in multiplayer at all?

Introducing NJTRAINM, the fix to said scenario. It supports multiplayer with up to 8 players. Huzzah!

...
That's really about it. There are a couple of other subtle changes about how some scripts work. Players are now teleported to the train as a sector rather then 1 destination, (and more then 1 player can now actually enter the train), plus also some slight changes to the monster object placement to compensate.
Demo1 was also re-recorded (and then some), as this version won't run on older versions of ZDoom any more (well, not 1.22, anyway ), and that demo just fails on a bad net command. Good enough of an excuse as any.

Also, seeing as some people would rather just want to see this somehow work in multiplayer:

Probably to stop the DeePsea error checker complaining about "not enough player starts".

Thanks for doing the conversion. I hope that other people enjoy it too.

Oh, sure, leave the obvious cut point in, Edward.

(Also, the second "me" in the Nightmare part was actually Minigunner. He appeared as Minigunner on my screen. He also wasn't pink.)

This doesn't work with any kind of custom playerclass. Instead of actually checking for players, this checks for the doomplayer actor class.

Technically, there is no bug there, as the issue is irrelevant to NJTRAINM. However I'll cook up a change seeing as it should straightforward to do so.

Not saying it's a bug. Just that it's a sloppy way to do it; there are a lot of more flexible alternatives.
