=========================================================================== Advanced engine needed : UMAPINFO compatible/Limit Removing Primary purpose : Single play, Coop =========================================================================== Title : Dead, But Dreaming Filename : dbp25_dbd.zip Release date : 09/08/20 Author : doomerboardskrew4lyfe Email Address : [redacted] Other Files By Author : DBP 1-24 and counting Misc. Author Info : Shitlord hivemind, very bad friends, and cunts (exception: Glen, who's a doublecunt) Description : PLAY THESE MAPS ON NIGHTMARE DIFFICULTY AND IN A UMAPINFO COMPATIBLE PORT! Nah for real just do it. "Three times Randolph Carter dreamed of the marvellous city, and three times he was snatched away while still he paused on the high terrace above it." (H.P. Lovecraft; the opening lines of The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath) This month the Krew drag you into the morbid dreams of H.P. Lovecraft's Great Old Ones where you'll get wrecked by really fast projectiles and respawning monsters; Krewthulhu doesn't fuck around. dmdr was the boss this month but see dbp25-credits.txt and (especially) the map listing below for a list of more important people. A special welcome to our DBP first timers, morpheuskitami and temp! =========================================================================== * What is included * New levels : Yes Sounds : Yes Music : Yes Graphics : Yes Dehacked/BEX Patch : Yes Demos : Yes Other : PLAYPAL, COLORMAP, GLDEFS, DECORATE, LANGUAGE, U- and ZMAPINFOs Other files required : None * Play Information * Game : Doom 2 Map # : 1-11, 33 Single Player : Designed for Cooperative 2-4 Player : Yes Deathmatch 2-4 Player : No Other game styles : None Difficulty Settings : Intended for and tested in Nightmare! but playable on UV (you could try mix-n-matching -fast and -respawn params too). No things placed in easier difficulty modes so don't bother. * Construction * Base : New from scratch Build Time : 1 month Editor(s) used : GZDoom Builder derivatives, Eureka, WhackED 4, Slade 3, GIMP Known Bugs : IDKFA text doesn't display properly in PrBoom-Plus, projectiles pass through some walls in MAP10, Watcher has no raise states (doesn't really affect gameplay + lots of trouble to free states so didn't fix) May Not Run With : Any port that isn't *MAPINFO compatible. At the time of writing that means you need PRBoom-Plus 2.5.1.7um, Doom Retro 3.6 (not tested -- and be warned, it has 'limited' UMAPINFO support, according to the 3.6 changelog) or ZDoom/GZDoom/LZDoom/Zandronum -- set your compatibility options to Doom (Strict) or suffer the wrath of TOMATULU! Contra earlier revisions, EMAPINFO is no longer supported due to inconsistent behaviour that I frankly don't care enough to debug. Eternity devs, implement UMAPINFO. Tested With : PRBoom-Plus 2.5.1.7um -complevel 2, GZDoom 4.4.2 (Doom (Strict) compat), Zandronum 3.something.or.other (coop testing) Tested by : Alper002, Big Ol' Billy, dmdr, GarrettChan, glenzinho, joe-ilya, kakhome1, Nine Inch Heels, Phobus, skepticist, SuperCupcakeTactics, temp, vigilantdoomer * Copyright / Permissions * This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.
