Back to Saturn X E1: 1.1.6 bugfix

[SFoZ911]

What a pleasant surprise! It's been a while since I played Back to Saturn X so it would be cool to try spotting the new little tweaks, other than the obvious ones listed.

Oh, I'm sure I can find some sort of unfortunate flaw to report. You just wait.

We're already aware of some issues with prboom-plus acting weird and non-vanilla, heh. (edit: Actually nvm, I had an older version in the prboom directory and didn't notice the override, heh.)

But still. The tether has been severed. The nightmare is one third over!

[esselfortium]

Apparently DEMO1 and DEMO2 are desyncing. I guess it wouldn't be BTSX if there wasn't something still broken, lol

[Mechadon]

Holy moly it finally happened :O

After lots of work and even more procrastination, BTSX E1 is finally out of its severely overextended beta period, and 1.0 is in /incoming!

Aren't you about one month early?

[Demon of the Well]

It's April already?. That must've been one helluva St. Paddy's bender I was on....





(congrats Essel & Team)

Holy shit it's actually here! Congrats, etc etc

Coop starts:

---MAP14 1 3 0 0

Boomisms (might be intentional though):

---MAP25
L 1183 special 252

Do I win a lollipop? (Sorry Werecat.)

If you want to check these yourselves in the future: tnswutil. Coop starts get messed up so often that I'd say it is worthwhile having this even if you won't use it for anything else.

Oh, and... YAY!

[JohnnyTheWolf]

Why are there two wad files instead of one?

Ooooops. Committing sudoku in eternar shame.

Intentional indeed.

JohnnyTheWolf said:

Because vanilla Doom (and now chocolate as well) has a static limit for lump count in one file, which we managed to surpass.

Bluh.

This one's intentional, since you can't reach the affected lines in vanilla singleplayer they don't hurt anything in vanilla.

JohnnyTheWolf said:

Too many lumps in one wad causes vanilla to choke hard and melt your computer. E2 is the same way.

[esselfortium]

Okay, I hotfixed the map14 coop starts before they spread any further, haha. 1.0.01 is the fix. Same URL.

[Grain of Salt]

I always kinda assumed there wasn't going to be a final version of BTSX. The earlier releases, even the first one, felt pretty final to me.

Not to be pedantic, but I'm guessing you used mod powers to edit the thread title, since the OP supposedly was last edited in 2014?

Edit: OP downloaf link doesn't seem to work. Page 15 one is fine.

Huh, I guess so. I didn't do anything special, I just edited it and it worked.

Fixed, thanks!

[Breezeep]

I never thought I'd see at least one episode of BTSX finished. Grats on getting this one out!

[rhinoduck]

Just out of pure curiosity... what is the purpose of this in DEHACKED?

Also, ZDaemon does not seem to like that tabs are used as separators in the par entries. Pars are not important in ZDaemon, so it's a non-issues there, but I wonder if there are other weird/old DEHACKED parsers around which may have problems digesting this.

That changes MAP15's music track from D_RUNNI2 to D_QUIKSV.

Ah! Thanks :)

Which is the bigger and larger (and vanilla incompatible) version of that song.

[Tarnsman]

I still don't believe this release is actually happening. It's clearly a large attempt at gas lighting the community.

[esselfortium]

Reuploaded (v1.0.02) with a fixed DEMO1 from Alfonzo that should play properly. Not sure what happened there, but it should be better now. Same URL as before, again, and no other changes made.

edit: lol of course it still breaks in choco i don't even know what's going on anymore

[Killer5]

Grats. Really enjoyed playing episode 1!

I snickered a bit :)

Anyways, time to celebrate! One down!

The sprite fixes weren't included?

[NuclearPotato]

Doing a playthrough right now on HMP; feels a lot less brutal overall than the RC's before. I found a sector bug in MAP06 though; I'm using GZDoom 2.3.2. The gif below will explain far better than I can.

(apologies for the display capture; OBS doesn't play well with GZDoom).

[dew]

This doesn't happen outside of GZDoom, so I don't know how to even begin fixing it.

[LexiMax]

The bugs you find only when you release 1.0... :P

Aw :(

So since BTSX is back in the spotlight, any word on how close we are to E3?

[Linguica]

I just downloaded it and Map31 is entitled "The Hard Way" according to the DEH and Map32 is "Grosse".

Seems only the internal dehacked patch got updated. The external one is still the old one.
