Doom II iwad not respecting MAPINFO replacement?

eharper256 · Post by **eharper256** » Fri Nov 11, 2022 3:13 pm

So I popped out a patch recently for my mod Walpurgis, and the Elementalism map-set by Bauul et. al.

Turns out that, despite my initial tests confirming otherwise, when using the original Doom II iwad, this patch now does not automatically load the starting hub map of Elementalism, and it must be triggered with console command map hub. However, it works perfectly fine when using a Wadsmoosh. Both have identical loadorders in my gzdoom_portable.txt.

After bashing my head against a wall a few times and trying all sorts of things; I honestly can't understand why this appears to be the case, so any help with understanding this will be appreciated.

Here's Elementalism's ZMAPINFO. It loads first in sequence:

Then I have patch which does not include a Mapinfo as I didn't think it was neccessary (as it's just altering some of the map-packs ACS). This works fine with Wadsmoosh. What am I doing wrong to make it work with a smoosh but not with a DOOM 2 iwad? Literally all I want is for the map called HUB to be loaded by the Doom II iwad rather than it loading MAP01. It's likely something dumb I have overlooked, but I would appeciate some input. Thanks in advance!

Not entirely sure what you mean by "automatically load the starting hub map". AFAIK, in single-player games only the TITLEMAP can be loaded automatically, and only if present (otherwise GZDoom shows the TITLEPIC).

But I do see a potential error in your MAPINFOs:

In the first MAPINFO, you have clearepisodes and then episode HUB { ... }.
In the third MAPINFO, you again have clearepisodes and then episode map01 { ... } and episode level01 { ... }.
The above means that your episode HUB { ... } block has no effect.

Also, you're saying it works fine with Wadsmoosh but not with the Doom II IWAD, which is likely because you have the third MAPINFO under /filter/doom.id.doom2. So I guess that's where your problem must be then.
