* levels: minor tweaks/fixes.
E2M1
The little pass-over route in the north with the medikit now blocks monsters so you don't get a surprise invisible obstruction.
The armour bonuses on the steps in the main path between the outdoor areas are now closer to the ledge. You can still miss some if you charge down the steps at full speed but it only takes a slight slowdown to get them all in one go.
Map11
The health bonus in the starting room pillar is replaced in hard mode by a shellbox.
Untagged the thin panel armour bonus secret.
Replaced the evil eyes in the SKAG room with skull rocks.
Made all 3 doors in the starting room green.
Fixed texture alignment on castle corpse hanger lift.
Map09
Flagged some secret area entrance lines as secret.
* levels: fix E1M1 texture stuff.
The fake barred doors in the dark halls were missized and tutti-fruttied.
The use-to-lower function of the crate has been removed since you can easily jump onto it from the lift and it never really made sense.
The two sets of computer banks have been reversed so that the 64-tall one is on top, as trying to accommodate it was resulting in weird texture misalignments elsewhere.
* levels: raise light fixture in E2M3 red key room.
This one's a bit petty maybe, but it bothers me that you can run onto those terminals just fine, but the light fixture is just low enough that once you're on the terminals you can't jump off of them without crouching.
The diegetically "normal" solution would be to raise the terminals to 25 units off the floor, but making the player go around to reach the red key - when in a typical game you will have already killed any monster that has line of fire on you anywhere in that room - adds nothing to gameplay whatsoever.
* levels: minor fixes to E3M7-9.
See #999.
E3M7 still had some orthogonal lines that looked misleadingly like secret doors, which would needlessly exacerbate how obscure the actual secret is. I haven't bothered touching the texture alignment since the repetition on the same texture being used over such a huge area is going to be pretty bad anyway.
* levels: rip+tear more lines from e3m7 huge guts.
There should be basically no fake contrast in that area at all now.
Also added a light texture to explain why the doorway is lit up like that.
* levels: minor fixes to E1M1 and Map28.
E1M1
Added a light source to the exit switch room.
Made the COMPUTE4 line only 3 screens wide and filled the empty space with vent speaker thingies.
Map28
Realigned SKSPINE2 on Sector 359.
Both latter fixes motivated by #995.
* levels: minor Phase 1 fixes.
This should address all outstanding issues in #698 and then some.
E1M1
Simplified the corridor behind the west blue key entrance.
Removed the serpentipede inside the secret in easy skill, and unflagged it as ambush so you don't need to necessarily *find* the secret to get 100% kills.
E1M7
Addressed #698 by getting rid of the potential soft-lock crusher trap altogether.
E2M8
Addressed #698 by keeping two tripods at all skill levels but making the polaric available immediately, along with a soulsphere and red armour. In the polaric's place in the hard-to-reach room is a second soulsphere.
I've also made the (medium/hard) polaric room door look like a door to reflect its actual use.
E3M6
Addressed #698 by not just marking the illusory wall as a secret line but also the inside of the room not-on-map. Added a light source to the inside of the room but it wasn't really necessary.
E3M7
Addressed #698 by removing the crusher tags for both sector and line.
Also dded some sound blockers to the entrance to the colon.
E4M6
Addressed the texture alignment issues in #698.
As for the descending sector potential crash, that is (a) *literally impossible* to fix in SLADE; and (b) a far too complex sector touching many things to trust not to break all over again on the slightest future adjustment to map geometry. The intended resulting sector type isn't even a hurtfloor, so there's no gameplay effect with the change. I've added a trim around the edges to make it look half decent when it's descended with no texture change.
E4M8
Addressed #698 map line meta.
Added one more escape lift for a slime pit that was still missing one.
Added a SKAG.
* levels: remove testing e4m8 start.
yeah that was where the SKAG is.
* levels: bugfix: remove E1M2 wall midtex.
The level had a decorative door-the-player-had-come-in-from that was obscured by a wall texture.
Thanks to Smokey on Discord for pointing this out.
I've also removed the Doom Builder camera thing.
* levels: Cleanup Eureka errors in seven levels

**Map01**
Swapped out the impassable line for narrowing the big door gap enough for it to actually clearly visibly block the player's movement.
Used the flat bleeding trick to get rid of that little spotlight under the exit sign. The distracting bottom light on the sign itself has also been removed.
**Map03**
Unflagged some invisible impassable lines in front of screens and switches in the first corridor since they weren't needed in the first place.
Changed floor/ceiling textures on the curvy screen corner so it wasn't blatantly conflicting with the tile pattern.
Added a railing onto the big nukage rooms.
**Map12**
Flyers in the far northwest room could not figure out how to get into the big arena if they're in the dead ends. The side doors can now be opened by them.
Fixed some misunpegged lowering platforms/item closets in the south.
**Map15**
Second attempt to fix the rising shipping elevator. No more moving bridge (at all - the new safety lifts are still there), both switches available again, everything actually takes some time and moves visibly now.
Tag 56 changed to the four lines on the border of the pit.
Moved the cells even deeper into the expanded secret room as parts of the hitbox were still sticking out on the other side of something.
**Map16**
Unaligned the MIDSPACE in the new back alley.
**Map21**
Added an implied ladder leading down into the starting room.
Fixed the plasma secret in the library. If you went inside the room and let it close behind you, there was no way out; the way you came is now given the same lift tag. The secret itself is marked with something better than just suspiciously secret-tagged linedefs on the automap. The library south wall is also no longer incorrectly tagged as not to show up on the map.
Fixed the misaligned, improperly pegged door side texture in the big wall that opens up to the north of the big lava pit.
The lift leading into that room overlooking the big lava pit can now be traversed both ways.
You can actually fall into the lava in (-948,1836) with no way out. Narrowed that section accordingly.
**Map23**
Reduced number of sectors and number of secret sectors (doorway into the actual secret also flagged as secret) in the southeastern secret.
Fixed lone floating rocket by the crate north of the G.
**Map25**
Northwest baron/chaingunner teleport ambush was double-triggered and one of them did the opposite of what it was supposed to do. That entire area has been redone as a creepy wooden shack, to get rid of the arbitrary anti-jump invisible blocking lines.
Also added a sector to make sure noises pass through to those two individual monsters.
Unstuck serpentipede # 444.
The exit room seemed a bit dark for that lava so I took the liberty of changing it to 5% and a hot (but solid) rock texture.
Overhauled the starting entrance to explain why you were stuck in a little cramped chamber that you could only exit by shooting something behind you.
**Map32**
Got rid of the double-sector red key lift, in favour of just the outside portion being the lift.
Fixed all the windows so you can't jump through them in GZDoom under normal circumstances. Added some decorative railings.
Marked the berserk secret so it can be found without checking the automap (and can no longer be found by checking the automap), but in that specifically annoying, obtuse way that everything else is intentionally done on this map.
(NOTE: these Map32 fixes are pending another major improvement to this map that rednakhla is working on and may be overridden by other decisions in their version. I'm just throwing this out there as a temporary fix as we do not appear to have a timeline for that version yet. If it is completed before this PR is merged I'm more than happy to add it here.)
* levels: fix map15 western secret lift bug.
Using the lift from the bottom would sometimes fail if there are monsters. This seems to be an unusual nodebuilding-related glitch.
Moving the bottom activation to a separate wall switch seems to get around this.
* levels: allow map15 supersecret armor in easy/med.
Easy also allows one of the medikits.
Before this change that room was completely empty outside of hard.
* levels: use new texture on map16.
* levels: map21 fixes.
The lava groove border could be jumped into as it was exactly 32 units wide. Reduced this all around to 24, and added a damagefloor there just in case.
One lava damage floor had 20% for no apparent reason where everywhere else the player would be expecting it to do 10. It now does 10.
Rearranged a bunch of stuff in the final corridor for the bricks to line up.
* levels: tutti-frutti on southern computers.
There's now a gap between the ceiling and floor computers. It looks less bad than either the tutti-frutti or lowering the main ceiling so that the wall textures are cropped off.
* levels: remove map26 obligatory damage.
It appears that the collapsing bridge may have been intentionally designed to be impossible to cross without jumping, requiring the use of the damagefloor route to progress. There is now a radiation suit just before the blue key door, and stimpacks along the damagefloor route are now replaced with a bunch of health bonuses and a stimpack on the other end of the teleport.
Some of the sectors in the early part of the map have been simplified and useless line triggers (W1 on one-sided, etc.) removed.
(A similar note applies to this as for Map32 in this PR, but I'm the one working on the bigger change this time.)
THIS IS A COLLAB EDIT. By me (shinobody) and mc776. Please credit both of us.
All changes in previous commits by me, all changes in this commit by mc775.
For levels/e1m[13].wad I should've used AQRUST10 to replace AQTRIM03
instead of AQCONC03. With the fix the texture changes are:
E1M1 Near floor around 464, 1936
Near ceiling around 2400, -32
E1M3 Behind player spawns at -767, -258
In levels/e1m*.wad files fix errors flagged by Eureka when F9 (Check /
ALL) is pressed. This is mostly missing textures and similar errors.
E1M1 Replace transparent texture AQTRIM03 on walls with AQCONC03
E1M3 Replace transparent texture AQTRIM03 on walls with AQCONC03
Floor one unit higher than ceiling in a door
Delete unused tags
Replaced transparent texture in a secret room
E1M6 Deleted inner mismatched sector in outdoor water pond
Fix Missing textures
E1M7 Fix missing textures
E1M8 Fix missing textures
Delete unused tags
E1M9 Fix missing textures
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
