Memento Mori 1 and 2 .deh files?

[MS-06FZ Zaku II Kai]

I´m not sure if I´m posting this in right section, but would anyone of you happen to know how to enable level names (when using automap) and new intermission text (instead of vanila Doom II)?

I´m playing in Doom Retro, but the same problem occurs in Eternity Engine. The zipfile from idgames doesn´t have any .deh files to enable new features.

Those mapsets, along the third part of the trilogy, Requiem, doesn't have dehacked patches, so they doesn't show the map names on automap.

So you will have to make it yourself...

or better, check these ;)
Memento Mori I & II Requiem Deh Patches.rar
It comes also with a sweet new Status bar and a new TITLEPIC, and a proper story for all the trilogy ;)

It kinda-ish is.
If you look back to when they were made, most of the mappers from the Memento Mori Crew worked on Requiem, too, along a few new mappers.
And since, aesthetically wise, is similar to the previous entry, and Requiem means a Mass for the repose of the souls of the dead, and Memento Mori mean ''remember that you will die'', Requiem may count as the last part of the serie of Death related mapsets, starting with Memento Mori I.
It is saw as this by some members of the forum, and as a stand alone mapsets by others.

 

On the dehacked patch for it, i think i use a few references to MM I and MM II, but it can also be played alone.

@P41R47 Hmm, I do have some problem with MementoMoriSB.wad when I try to start it with MMUS.wad in doom retro it crashes and in eternity engine it loads doom II levels instead?

 

Other files work like a charm though, thanks a lot!

It's not really, but some of the people who worked on it were involved with Momento Mori 1 & 2.

 

It was made during a time when the common consensus was that Doom was on its last legs due to games like Quake etc. This was in the late 90's to early 2000's if I remember correctly. Hence the name 'Requiem'.

 

Just like Momento Mori's latin translating to "remember you will die". Which in itself comes from an old Roman story relating to a victorious commander returning from a successful campaign and hiring someone, usually a plebeian, to humble him with those words as he walked through cheering crowds. The idea was to keep the commanders ego in check. It's a shame we no longer practice that in the west heh.

 

In my opinion it's separate from MM 1 & 2, some of the same people worked on it but with a different stroke.

 

But as @P41R47 pointed out some people see it as a continuation of MM 1 & 2. There's no right or wrong answer, just differing opinions.

Strange, i even have loaded it on vanilla :/

how are you loading it?

Here is my command-line:

@echo off
start doomretro.exe -iwad doom2.wad -file wads\mm.wad wads\mmmus.wad wads\MementoMoriSB.wad -deh dehacked\mementomori.deh
exit

Oh you have to use it with mm.wad as well, my bad ;)

Remember, memento, what a crazy post with an explanation about the words being derived from Latin (all correct) and yet misspelling them :)

I'll just insert my usual excuse: I'm on post-surgery medication for the pain. To be honest it's a wonder I type anything coherent at all.

 

I can't play Doom Wads or games, or do anything really. So I just sit here zoning out for most of the day. 2 weeks down, 2 more to go. Although don't expect the weirdness to go away, I'm a little eccentric by default heh.

That's a neat status bar there. If I have a minor suggestion it'd be to move the health heads a bit to the right so the big symbols don't cover them too much. 

 

I might borrow more of your status bars, if they're available :p

[dmslr]

Pls someone share a pic of the statusbar.

Thanks for the suggestion, pal! ;)
this Status Bar is one of the first i made for myself, i may revise it soon.

Aside from the already published Status Bars on Three's a Crowd, 25 Years on Earth and CPD, i didn't release any other status bar soo far.
But yes, i should make a post with all the designs i made before something happends to my PC :S

 

EDIT: there is one more, the one you already know that wasn't accepted for Hellevator. And damn, i liked that one :/

Not to get too far off the rails but I’m 99% sure I heard one of the MM designers mention that Requiem was originally titled MM3 early in development. I’m reaching pretty far back so maybe I’m off base..
