NOOO! This is what I get for only testing in Vanilla, Choco, Zand,GZD, Odamex, ZDaemon, *catches breath*... I thought, surely PrBoom will run it right if ALL of those do. How foolish, with as many cross-compat projects I've made, I should have known by now that every port has their own interesting flavors of bugs!

ALWAYS test Boom!  It is the most finicky of them all from my experience.  Personally, I only test PRBoom+ and GZDoom, then if I release something I will say it is compatible with those and is untested with others.

Two problems are fixed - Map04 now runs fine in PrB+ and Map05 plays the right music since I stuck a D_DOOM lump in there.

 

Unfortunately, RJD's glow effects, despite looking gorgeous in GZDoom, actually crash Zandronum because it doesn't know what "attenuate" means. Man, I wish it just ignored stuff it doesn't understand! Why does it have to be a hard, mean, dirty crash?! UGH

 

In case looking at it will help, here's a version where the only 2 remaining issues I know of are Zand crashing over the GLdefs and still needing to get that shootable core updated in Mikey's map:(nope)

 

Any clues on getting around this would be amazing.. No idea what to do other than have things use the wrong glow color in both Zand and GZD, which is of course not ideal..

Whoops, I forgot Zandro doesn't support attenuated light. Here's a version without the attenuated bit: GLDEFS.zip

When @MikeyScoots gets online maybe he can tell us what that tag 57 was meant to do in his map, then once that's fixed I'll have a new build ready.

 

Tag 57 isn't that important for the map. Probably shooting the core would result in opening a specific door. I can think of 3 doors which can be attached to the core. Those 2 doors pointed out by green arrows stay opened if you open one of them (tag 7).

Spoiler

 

BTW, I think someone should fix this mapping mistake. That sharp angle between linedefs 14407 and 14411 should be right

One other thing I want to do is be sure all of the MIDIs are properly credited. I know 90% of them, but hopefully we can get the blanks filled in:

 

Title - Inca Roads by Frank Zappa

Intermission - Intermission MIDI from Dwango20

Story - Jack the World by GWAR

01 - Covenant Dance from Halo

02 - Goin' Down the Fast Way from Rise of the Triad

03 - Nuts n' Bolts from Donkey Kong Country 3

04 - Map12 MIDI from DwangoX

05 - Hooligan Rhapsody from Beavis & Butthead

06 - The Awakening by Les Claypool

07 - (Not sure)

08 - Record Skipping from Beavis & Butthead

09 - Fear Factory from Donkey Kong Country

10 - Venus Nickel-Iron Mine from Descent

11 - Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin

12 - Cacophony of Asian Donut Shops by AD_79 (another that gets stuck in my head)

13 - Mysterious Forest from The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening

14 - Rumble in the Jungle by AD_79

15 - Upper Brinstar (The Jungle Floor) from Super Metroid

16 - When the Levee Breaks by Led Zeppelin

17 - The Graveyard from Heretic

18 - Deadly Town by Jimmy

19 - Death Wind from F-Zero

20 - Master of Puppets by Metallica

21/Victory screen - Legends of Rock from Beavis & Butthead

21/Bonus 1 - Accelerator by AD_79

22/Bonus 2 - (Not sure)

 

If anyone knows the sources for the 3 missing ones here that would be excellent.

 

For MAP07 it's Zombie Remix (D_COUNTD).mid by Viscra Maelstrom

Map 17 error! These 3 columns on the way to the yellow skullkey don't rise at all. I deleted the old build (rudy2v10) I used to play through, so I can't check the former Floor height of those reference sectors outside the map. Actual for rudy2_0 version.

Spoiler

 

Map 20 doesn't have Tag 20 in use, so the linedefs 2972 and 2974 don't lower any floors as intended. (And I think they don't need to do so)

 

Also, switches with the texture SW1SKULP don't turn into SW2SKULP when activated.

Thank you so much for those notes! All fixed in this latest build. I have no idea how the dummy sectors became separated on map17 but the 3 bridge sectors that raise up should be a-ok now. If no one has any objections in the next day or two, I'll rebrand this as RC1 (Finally!) and start up a whole new thread and retire this one, what with all it's clutter. So close I can taste it!

Hah, Map 20 also has 2 red skullkeys. Don't know why, but I didn't notice that earlier despite the fact it WAS featured in my old walkthrough of rudy2v10. Chill out, it's the last error I've found for Map 20 =)

Spoiler

 

Skull switches (SW1SKULP -> SW2SKULP) are still not fixed. At least, for PrBoom+

Edited September 2, 2020 by Dimon12321

Unfortunately I don't think I can add the skull switch animations back in for any of the non-ZDoom ports, but I think it's not too big a deal anyway since they're rare throughout the wad and their functionality seems obvious. If it's too bad for other players in the RC1 thread, I'll go and replace a few of them with one of the small skull switches. Also I'll delete that extra key right now!

Boom does have a way to define new switches; the SWITCHES lump.

 

Here, an ANIMATED lump that adds the animations from ANIMDEFS, and a SWITCHES lump that adds the SW*SKULP switch. With those it should work in all Boom-compatible ports.
