E1M1
- All the monsters in the trench are now +ambush, so they don't move until you're down there. On easy the zombieman even faces away from the start.
- More monster blockers added to prevent invisi-blocks jumping into the starting room trench or down from the cliffs in the outdoor area.
E2M7
- Armour bonuses still floating on sector 599. They now adorn the side pillars instead.
- The minigun is comically easy to miss - pretty much every passage into that area is designed for you to look the other way or overshoot it jumping in there, and you might go through the next 80% of the map before having any reason to go back into that part of the room. Its platform has been moved to the lower area, with the upper platform being ostensibly a shotgun but the shotgun guy now standing there took it.
E3M4
- Stealth worm 16 stuck on overlapping ledge.
- Changed the St. Pete's cross into a sealed-off fireblu portal.
- Extended the stairs up from that long bridge so that it's more obvious from a distance at low resolution that those are legit stairs up and you're actually expected to backtrack that way.
- Redecorated the exit room.
E3M5
- Jump down into painlord courtyard in the west would be invisi-blocked by said painlords. Monster blocking line added to keep the way down clear. Moved the tree out of the way too, for good measure.
- Addressed #996.
E3M9
- Fixed numerous tutti-frutti textures and unstraightened some unintentional fake-contrasts in some organic areas.
E4M2
- Got rid of the flat bleed trick in that slime tunnel. It's just a big steady spotlight now - and it doesn't mitigate any nukage damage.
- The secret exit room multiplayer contingency entrance is now opened immediately after the trap-bars are triggered. The trap-bars themselves are no longer crushing, preventing a possible immobilization softlock.
- Said multi-contingency entrance area is remodeled to make it clear it has been jump-proofed.
- Aligned hex textures in secret exit room.
E4M9
- Flagged line 1765 as monster blocking. It's possible for a monster, while that platform is descending, to step right onto that window ledge and get stuck there as the platform continues its movement.
- Added glass to the sides of sector 230 to prevent the player from falling in under certain circumstances.
Map02
- Changed the multi-wallpart elevator so that the middle is the "rungs" that the side "pulleys" are lifting up the platform against.
Map04
- Numerous cosmetic fixes to the starting area.
Map05
- A couple lines on the edge of the stream used the surrounding brown rock instead of the zimmer brown.
- Made the helipad symmetrical and made it look more weathered, including adding a small tree where there would once have been a light.
Map11
- The walk line to open the yellow door switch is now south of the minigun, so those who "know" how it works (without knowing the exact location of the line) don't have to go all the way up to the door to intentionally trigger it.
- Removed some hard-only monsters from the eastern branch, removing some matribites and octaminators and replacing one of the former with a formerly easy-only trilobite and one of the latter with a stealth worm.
- The dock area is now opened up by the same switch that lowers the two platforms, which are now lowered permanently.
- The red skull shootable switches are now located so high up that it's impossible to gamble on a stray SSG shot hitting them from below.
- Addressed #996 in some small gaps in the final arena.
Map23
- Moved all health bonuses around the broken teleporter to look less like mushrooms.
Map26
- Blue skull door trim was misaligned, obscuring the shape of the horns.
- Zombieman 130 stuck inside a monster blocking line.
- Moved all health bonuses around the starting area corpse to look less like mushrooms.
Map29
- Addressed #996.
Map32
- Added a way to climb out of the lava pit.
Many of these found thanks to Inuk's new floating-item-bug script!
E1M1
- Replaced the health boosts in the exit to the upper cave with a trail leading into the cave, to let the player know right away that this is not a decorative area. (It's not even counted as a secret!)
E1M7
- Shells no. 174 was floating on that bit of wire connecting the two computer banks around it.
E2M7
- Floaty armour boosts 57 and 62.
E2M9
- Floaty anti-nukage supplies 102 and 132. Moved 133 as well just in case.
E3M3
- Floaty candle in sector 232. All moved for symmetry.
E3M8
- Replaced one hanging gore actor. See #941.
- Made the panel behind that replaced gore actor a marble face.
E4M2
- Armour boosts on east side of bridge were close enough to be subject to the floating bug, stopped only by the impassable line.
E4M9
- Light no. 117 submerged illusion pit was smaller than the light hitbox and the wrong shape.
- Floaty serpentipede no. 236.
* levels: various fixes.
E1M2
Fixed some missing and misaligned textures around the secret lowering computer block.
E2M5
The red key bars could both be squeezed through and jumped around on a jump-enabling sourceport. The red key now raises the stairs instead, and the final door before the exit also requires a red key.
E2M7
Added one more bar in front of the exit to prevent squeeze glides.
E3M2
Expanded yellow key pillar so it would match the flat.
E3M6
Untagged the skylight inside the secret as being itself a secret.
E4M1
That line of health and armour bonuses just inside the big building would have a few floaters. They've all been moved forward and should be fully clear of that ledge.
Map05
The pit with the central column of water and the spectres was being blocked off by said spectres before the player could jump into it. There is now a monster blocking line right in front of the ledge, barely far enough to guarantee space for you to drop but close enough to let the pinkies bite.
You can now freely move through the gaps between any of the objects in the blue key room.
The exit from the blue key building now has a lift instead of stairs, and the wall prevents the nearest pinkies from seeing you until you've actually dropped inside. Hopefully this at least mitigates the problem of being stuck on the stairs with a pinkie right below your ability to target.
Miscellaneous aesthetic tweaks.
Map07
The lift overlooking the big arena was still suffering from monsters blocking from below. It has been moved to the side with an intervening ceiling.
The central grey aquatex nukage trim hub was a cross shape and the exits all had very strong lines turning right, making it look like a swastika. The southern section has been tweaked to throw off the symmetry and avoid that impression.
Made it possible to move all the way around the stack of crates in the eastern area with the switch.
Miscellaneous texture improvements.
Map08
The exit bars are now impossible to squeeze glide through. They are also styled in the same manner as the moving pistons by the big switches, giving the suggestion that they would be moved in a similar manner.
Map09
Fixed some floating pickups at the collapsed roof, the red key room, and the stairs to the warehouse admin area.
Shotgun guys in the admin area switch room are now situated between the deep cracks that were preventing their movement.
Map12
Turned the two wall-facing enemies around near (2016,96).
Added a second trigger line for the minigunner ambush store room so it happens even when you approach it from the other side.
Added a second switch for the bars normally opened before reaching the storage room ambush.
Replaced the BFG secret with a megasphere since you already get a BFG in Map11.
Map18
There were some lamps on the lower floor of the southwest room that were invisible from the higher floor but would block your movement. All major blockers have been deleted or moved to the edge of the room.
The tree near the red armour to the right of the start has been moved for similar reasons.
Map20
Moved some pickups (and the dead body) away from the bottom sides of the steps to reduce the chances of someone bypassing them while moving downwards.
Made the armour/health bonus placement more unambiguous around the cross and star.
Simplified the bridge around the red key so that the rising portion is only one sector.
Map22
Because this map has been disproportionately harder to pistol start than anything near it...
Moved all 4 player starts into the starting elevator to avoid a hot start.
Flagged some ammo pickups as appearing on all skill levels, as well as the southern super shotgun and the starting area armour. The easy-only SSG in the starting area is now a chaingun and appears on all skill levels.
The starting shotgun is now only available on easy, with two shotgunners (one of them guarding the armour) in its place on medium and hard.
Differentiated the walls of the starting elevator so you know which way to face, and made the switch resemble the normal (but broken) SW1TEK.
The switch system itself is simplified and given a simpler implied story: the big switch is broken, so you locate and use the backup system. The switch shooting is gone.
Made the fringe around the lava elevator go all the way around and populated it with health bonuses to make it clear you're actually expected to go down there, because frankly the original is so thoroughly obscured it looks like you're breaking sequence by exploiting an oversight in the map.
Extended the staircase down from the brown platform to mitigate the "pinkie right in front of you below your aim" effect.
Added a medikit near that brown platform.
The armour in the crate hall is now a medikit.
Map24
The hanging bodies in the red key room are now the non-blocking versions.
The trilobite stuck on the teleport pad in the square maze is now an octaminator so it doesn't get stuck.
The lines around the door leading to the serpentipedes with their backs to you no longer block sounds.
Removed the sound block flags on the octaminator ambush doors, so the pinkies can join in if you start shooting at them instead of powering through into the new room.
Map26
Health bonuses under crusher were floating.
Map27
Lizardbaby platform now has a full 72 unit clearance.
Spectres in the red rock area to the northeast are now in the tunnels and only come out when you land in the red water.
* levels: fix one screwy texture.
Monitor in the room west of the westmost shiny lowering shelf thing.
* levels: more minor fixes.
E2M1
Life surge secret was marked on the thin doorway, making it possible to fail to register even after you've taken the surge. The secret is now the room itself, at the cost of that random light effect.
E2M6
Life surge secret was marked on the thin central bit of the sigil, leaving *lots* of room to step around it while grabbing the powerup. (The fact that the red makes it kinda look like a hurtfloor really doesn't help.) The secret is now the larger room itself.
Map12
New eastern storage room trigger wasn't covering the entire hallway. It should also be diagonal to minimize the chance of it being skipped entirely.
Map28
The serps on the ledge by the bloodfalls and fleshy sigil were facing the wall and marked as ambush. They now face the actual play area.
Map29
Moved all the secret pit pickups a little bit further inside the square so they look like they're resting on the surface of the solid floor.
Map30
The multiplayer-only spawn pickups are now flagged as multi-only.
* levels: tiny map04 aesthetic tweak.
The fake contrast exaggerates the shadow on some "AGM" silver columns while eliminating the shadow on others. These are often right next to each other on the screen, producing absurd results. This moves 1 vertex from each affected line 2 pixels so they are no longer orthogonal.
* levels: fix various bugs.
Thanks to Goji!, Inuk and rednakhla on Discord for pointing these out.
E1M3: Northern lift simplified to address texture alignment problems.
E1M5: Door near (-205,1336) (leading out into open ceiling area with the big strip of lights down the middle) door tracks needed to be lower unpegged.
E1M9: Lift near (-2328,120) was split into 2 sectors, causing HOMs when they went out of sync. There's nothing that relies on this split (contrast the neat lighting stuff from Map22) so the lift is just merged into one sector.
E2M2: Shellbox near (-486,192) is right on the line between two stairs, causing it to rest on the bottom step which causes ports like GZDoom to have the sprite clip *very* visibly into the upper stair. Moved it slightly so it rests on the upper of those two stairs.
E2M3: Door leading to red key and "door" leading to soulsphere: former should be lower unpegged but latter should not, but were reversed. Two exit-door-textured doorframes also given more conventional DOORTRAK and lower unpegged treatment. The teleporter representing the hatch going down into the nukage is now fully repeatable.
Map07: Infinite height in vanilla would cause the spectres in the red key courtyard to trap the player on the entrance ledge from below in a way that could not be seen or diegetically explained. Those three spectres now warp in only after you cross the ledge. (Setting them to "ambush" would do nothing since you're in LOS with them from the top of the ledge.)
Map11: Lights above red keycard weren't aligned; moved that entire sector and added a few lines to round the corner. Removed a strobe effect on the exit teleporter to compensate for a GZDoom issue where the light would go to absolute zero during the blink.
Map12: Room to the south with the 2 stimpacks, ammo boxes, 2 chaingunners and berserk would sometimes cause some of the items to be "levitated" to the highest sectors they touch. Moved them away from said higher sectors - it looks a bit sloppier but this is a backroom not a storefront lol.
Map13: The easternmost archvile platform had the archvile stuck in the seam, preventing it from lowering in vanilla. (Worked fine in GZDoom) Moved it a little further in.
Map19: The combat slugs teleport in from a W1 teleporter which could sometimes be spent while one of the pinkies is blocking the destination, permanently preventing that slug from teleporting in. These are now WRs like the other teleporting enemies.
Map22: More W1 monster teleports that should be WR. Also filled in some missing textures in the multi-sector lift connecting the cavern to the hall in the southwest, which parts are clearly not meant to be seen moving separately but can - it still looks fucked up if you manage to desync them, but it's a diegetic fucked up now.
Map24: Another W1 spawn. This one is impossible to screw up in vanilla, but there are some mods that could end up spawning something there that could block the archviles from teleporting.
Map25: More W1 problems. The spawn source room now also has a small barrier to make sure each pinkie only goes to its own teleporter unless the initial teleport fails.
Map27: Lizardbaby dropping too far meant that the bracket was falling along with it in a visibly unnatural way.
Map29: Broke up all the long linedefs on the perimeter of the map to get around the invisible hitscan barrier bug: https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Hitscan_attacks_hit_invisible_barriers_in_large_open_areas
(Ideally this entire perimeter should be redone to break up the box in favour of more natural-looking formations, but that's a bit outside the scope of a fix like this.)
Also got rid of the Plutonia-style start/end teleports on the fixed Phase 2 maps, to address #867.
* maps: more fixes.
More floaty items and other things.
E1M9
- floater mid south stim by staircase
E1M7
- floater northwest clips near the tunnels
- floaters near switch by railings, now all on the railings
- duckproofed sector 439 barrier
E2M9
- floater thing #125 medikit on top of lift, now in middle of platform
- shotgun guy (thing #309) and the spectre behind it stuck in geometry.
- lines 430 and 761 both open the same door and are in the same room right next to each other. Since 761 is actually textured and positioned as a switch, the tag and special on 430 is removed.
* levels: flag e2m7 DM stuff as multi-only.
Marked the following based on eyeballing out what items are right next to DM spawns with no obvious alternate route to them: 487, 488; 203, 397; 499, 500, 501, 502; 482, 485; 491, 492, 493; 494; 496; 28, 486; 182; 54
* levels: more misc. fixes.
E1M6 W1 lines 2318 and 2321.
E3M5 Removed all monster block lines in that gross blood room and raised the blood floor to only 4 below the normal floors, but flagged more monsters in there as ambush to make up for it. Also fixed a lot of texture alignment issues in the top skin panels and lowered the ceiling, along with adding a new sector to address texture tiling issues in the northern teleporter room.
E4M1 fixed a mysterious HOM that was going on near the northern shadow line in the northern outdoor area. Merged a lot of sectors that were identical in their properties.
E4M7 entrance to sector 985 seems to be intended that the player run off the ledge into that room, then the pinkie near the ledge ambushes the player from behind. Instead, what sometimes happens is that the pinkie is alerted somehow, then obstructs the player (vanilla infinite height) from being able to get down there. That means of getting down into that room is now walled off, and instead you step onto that lift to bring it down from above. Neat side effect: any monsters still in the ring when you enter that room will follow you down there.
E4M5 linedefs 1724 and 1725 were facing the wrong way and couldn't be hit with projectiles.
Map25 Float thing 217. Moved that entire row further south to address floating item issues.
Map28 Float thing 464.
* levels: use inner room texture in E4M7 lift.
* levels: align side textures on that lift.
Didn't realize the little squares were sticking into the floor at the *bottom* of the lift as well.
Part of the Eureka cleanup involved fixing warnings having to do with
missing textures. Eureka was used to fix the missing textures by
replacing the "-" with "GRAY1'. Unfortunately fake floors and ceilings
resulted in false positive warning. Fixing the warnings broke the
intended rendering - the fake floor or fake ceiling is supposed to be
extended over what is now a gray hole. The solution is to revert the
missing texture fixes that have to do with fake floors and ceilings.

Yellow key bars now properly appear on switch use.
A generic term like this isn’t really suitable for trademark, nor
likely to ever be disputed. The community and the engine both heavily
bias toward “episode” and indeed most other games do.
Closes: #682
