About This File

Attention Doom coders, DEU users, and others so interested...

I've built a was that I think had pointed out a serious bug in the Doom engine, or else BSP and DEU have a serious node flaw.

The wad is a simple grid (12 x 12 squares), and as you'll see, looking across more then 10 or so sectors seems to cause the hall of mirror effect regularly. I suspect that either the Doom engine can't look that many sectors across (does anyone know if the id levels ever look across that man at once?) OR DEU and BSP both still need a better node building algo.

Makes an awesome download just to read the emails to and from ID. John Romero seems to be the one who responded to Seth.

It's level 99, and it's a white-knuckle rollercoaster joyrush straight into the pulsing heart of hell itself. (cough.) It's actually a demonstration of a hall of mirrors problem from the early versions of Doom. I have no idea if the bug was fixed with v1.3; it's definitely gone with modern source ports. The level's just a square room with a grid on the floor. No monsters, exit, objects etc. Gets an "average" rating for doing what it sets out to do.

id "fixed" the HOM issue in versions later than 1.2 by implementing visplane limit. So as you back up away from the center and more of the checkerboard comes into view, DOOM bombs out with "R_DrawPlanes: visplane overflow (x)", where x>/=128.

      Unloved
      By D3rpyD00dlez · Posted
      I genuinely enjoyed this mod with its level design and music. It was challenging and interesting and it kept me playing a while after beating it to try to find anything. though I would say it was slightly repetitive and overwhelming with enemies at some moments.

      The Darkening Episode 2
      By LouigiVerona · Posted
      Writing a review for Darkening 2 is tough. It's a beloved megawad, and for good reason. As many other reviewers have said, it is historically a very important project.   It was an important megawad for me personally. I fell in love with the first level in particular. The music, the realistic architecture, so reminiscent of the video games of the 90s... It all left a lasting impression. And it was one of the most beautiful wads I've seen at the time.   But I rarely played anyt

      A competently made map, for sure, but fun? It's way too long and repetitive, with same-y combat & ambush scenarios used again and again, and with way too much enemies, and not that much of a challenge, even for me who isn't exactly fond of "SUPER HARD WAD #9263!!!!11!. You can cut the whole thing in half, and then cut THAT half in half, and it would be a better map. Is it bad? No, just a little bit above average, mostly because it drags a bit too long.

      Generally good map design, but the difficulty as is the case with pwads tends to be uneven even on HMP, especially when you mix them with what slaughtermaps tend to be (monster spam). Too many parts where, after pressing a switch, you'll spend some time killing enemies only to realise the map maker tried to get cute and spawned a bunch of hidden archviles somewhere to start reviving everyone while you were busy wasting ammo. This is especially unfun in parts with very little cover where you'll b

      The Revenant Problem

      I like the part where I pay for the numerous murders I committed by getting beaten up by either a Mancubus or an Arachnotron, it changed my outlook on Monster Priority. Thank you "Problematic" Revenant #7, I have yet to find a way to repay him.
