Lower the bars blocking the soulsphere secret from behind if the
player manages to jump over the bars. Also, change the tag and
triggers for lowering said bars.
Fixes#476.
I added two new teleports that allow the player to leave the blue key
area after picking up the yellow key and going back into the blue key
area.
Fixes#449.
- Move line that opens the heavy armor switch to a spot where it can be
activated more consistently
- Replace Boom translucent lines with scrolling lines
- Rebuild nodes and blockmap with ZokumBSP
- Move a stimpack (thing 563) which only appears on lower skills eight
units east so that it does not float up above the nearby ledge.
- Move the bonuses ledge secret (opposite the blue key) from sector 202
to sector 225: touching the former could be missed, while the latter is
the entrance hole to the area, and cannot be avoided.
- Mark the "hidden in plain sight" backpack/plasma room, and heavy
armor, as secrets (sectors 595, 196); I found these not being secret,
when a tiny box with a single plasma charge is so, underwhelming. And as
I recall the heavy armor used to be secret in previous map versions.
- Restore the "ammo choice" (sectors 156/157) which are supposed to both
rise up when you step onto one, leaving the other inaccessible. Now it
rises twice as far and can kill you, which is fun! (and avoids need to
add a control sector and rebuild nodes, which would bloat the diff!)
Choose bullets; there are enough shells on this map that missing a box
doesn't matter - although if you are fast enough you can still get both.
- Move 5 armor bonuses (things 688-692) eight units north, as otherwise
they catch on the ledge behind and float up into the air.
- Similarly move a sergeant (thing 684) eight units north, as otherwise
he is stuck in his spawn location, unable to move.
Revert to previous version then change type of line 655 from W1 lower to
highest adjacent floor, to W1 lower to lowest.
It's clear from examining the map that sector 247, the platform with the
two sergeants, is meant to lower as you hurl yourself across and grab
the red key in mid-flight, revealing the spectre in sector 246. However,
the linedef action incorrectly selected the _highest_ adjacent floor as
destination, selecting the height of sector 195, and not moving at all.
The previous fix for this took the sledgehammer approach and deleted the
whole thing, which I felt was a shame.
Configured a monster teleport at the exit to also be lowered by the
player. Moved a berserk pack, and add a secret at the end. Inside
the start area ambush, add a shotgun, a little more ammo, and a
backpack.
- reverse the direction of the lines surrounding the secret teleporter
(sector 932), so they face outwards, and you teleport by stepping onto
the pad, as is conventional.
- change type of linedefs that lower the lift out of the blue key area
(sector 282) to reusable, otherwise you could only get back up twice
after jumping down (the lift was split into two single-use lines).
- prevent three imps (things 900,901,904) from waking up early, so they
do not leave the area via teleporter and make themselves a pain to track
down later: set their ambush flag, and surround the nearby door back to
the yellow key cage maze (sectors 489-491) with sound blocking lines.
* Add a switch in the secret exit area to allow backtracking.
* Make ledges in secret route non-damaging and made pit below into 20%
damage slime, allowing jumpers to risk death for a couple shells.
* 10 DM starts.
The current map06 is too difficult for such an early slot, so it has
been moved to map18. For the new map06, it uses Map04 of Nex Credo,
made by Jayexetee. Levels are vanilla compatible.
