 I guess you meant map 04. There are two trigger lines, one opens the secret, the other one closes it. The trick is to find the junction of both trigger lines and walk over it.

But following secrets were difficult to trigger consistently (they use the same trick which requires you to run over a linedef and return fast enough to prevent it from closing again)

- beginning of map05, opening the panel to access the invisibility sphere

- in the blue key area of map25, opening the door to the bfg room

Glad you enjoyed it :)

But yeah, those secrets are tricky but easy once you realize that it's not about speed but when and how you change direction. In other words, don't run all the way to the wall. You only need to run far enough to trigger the opening of the door and then move away from the triggers without stopping in between changes in direction.

Will there ever be 1.9, or 1.8 is the final version? Seems like it is.

Wah! It was updated!
Good to know!

[Cinnamon]

I've been away from the DOOM scene for a while, and was a bit saddened to see that DOOM Zero was only a runner-up for the 2019 Caco Awards. In my book it's easily in my top 5 favorite WADs I've ever completed (pistol start UV-max).

 

Just wanted to put that out there! If @DASI-I ever finds effort/time to produce more WADs, count me in! I'd gladly help as a tester if that is needed as well. <3

Awesome megawad. And the fact that it's DOS-compatible, even though I usually go with Crispy Doom, is impressive.
Definitely one of my favorites thus far.

Good job on getting the Bethesda port!

[Faceman2000]

Congrats dude! I had a lot of fun playing through this earlier this year and am looking forward to playing it again!

[Gez]

I was wondering when it would happen, it was such an obvious choice... Congrats!

[NoahRules]

Awesome seeing this on the Bethesda port! 

[P41R47]

@DASI-I i knew it, pal!
HAHAHA you made it!

Congratulations! ;)

[Noiser]

That's a perfect choice for the Unity port, congrats!!

[DASI-I]

Yay, it's released!! I can finally tell everyone! Although it's actually you guys that let me know it happened XD

Thanks to everyone for their support!! 😊

Why did they have to change the music?

I really don't know the details. Something to do with copyright complications with the composer/host of the custom tracks. It may be a remix of Doom music but copyright laws get confusing (especially for me) when it comes to remixes. So I just had to change the music, it just made all of the problems go away. Except map32 was changed because the original track with the unity port's soundfont had a terrible sounding percussion. Not the port's fault, just bad luck.

Congrats DASI-I and everyone else involved!

[Valboom]

Congratulations!

In the original release, there's two midi files that are credited to @silentzorah's Project: Doom. At least I can confirm that for MAP29 it's "Sign of Evil (Redux)". I'm not sure about MAP01, it's a remix of "Suspense" but it's not the "(Redux)" nor the "(Remix)" so I dunno where it's actually from. The title screen song has been kept, though!

DAS|-|, congratulations for being adopted into the official lineup! You really deserve this, it's an exceptional WAD and it's great that you've been recognized for it. I was confused when people started tagging me on Twitter about this new thing called Doom Zero when I thought I had already played it :)

Licensing issue, and nothing more.  Still, congrats.

And so they are changed to the original versions found in Ultimate Doom?

Interesting, I made an idgames fix... *wink* although something was changed for the Bethesda port release since the weapons aren't auto-centered upon firing. I guess since they're official the duplicate weapon sprites aren't an issue?

It will be on idgames soon. I just didn't want to upload it until all of the changes for the unity port was done because I'm gonna apply these changes to the idgames version before I upload it to idgames.
