ZDaemon Thursday Night Survival #71 - Doom The Way ID Did: The Lost Episodes (Part I)

[Alteus]

Some weeks ago we played DTWID release, but that was a little part of total submissions to the project. The Lost Episodes actually contains 6 episodes full of classic Doom experience that weren't included in main release. So this Thursday we will give the first three episodes a go; bury your SSG and see you there!

Skill: Ultra Violence
PWADs: DTWID-LE, dtwid-le_v10_zdfix, miekskins-r3, tns71
Maps: E1M1-E3M9 (3 episodes)
Lives: 1
Players: 20/50
The Euro session starts at 20:00 GMT (that's 15:00 EST)
The US session starts at 20:00 EST (that's 01:00 GMT)

In other news: ZDS is running Merry XXXmas this Saturday: Xnoob deathmach + some icy Xmas style. Grab the latest ZDaemon here.

Gave some of these a try in anticipation! Not a bad set!

Hmm, I should probably put out a new version for this. There are some known bugs, though most of that has to do with map rotation and such which is sorta taken care of here.

I suppose I could also include dtwid-le_v10_zdfix as a wad in the main pack as well, since there's not really a good way to put a ZDaemon-specific mapinfo in the wad itself. Though I do wonder if it's worth bringing up the prospect of introducing an alternate lump name it'd recognize as MAPINFO (as ZDoom did at one point with "ZMAPINFO"... which of course means that name's taken).

Pipe dreams aside, I'll see what I can do.

Ah, thanks for the highlights. I poked through and fixed a couple of goofy issues I saw (E1M5 secret you can get stuck in, E3M7 inescapable pit). Looked like a fun ride -- sorry I had to miss it, myself. ;)
