Some of the text graphics on the options and sound menus were
misaligned using the new generated graphics. Adjust these so that
they are spaced out more evenly.
Remove the big text graphic images used for the menus and the
intermission screen. Instead, generate these graphics programatically
from a script. This allows them to be easily changed and extended
as desired.
A classic ZDoomism (implicit passuse): A door (sector 204) could not be
opened due to its west side (linedef 1208) being blocked by a walk
trigger (linedef 1201). This left both door unable to be opened, and
walk trigger unable to be activated. The latter left the player stuck in
the immediate area, unable to finish the level.
The simplest fix, applied here, is to move the walk trigger to the other
side of the door (linedef 1214). The player must still walk through the
door and "see" the blue key vanish to escape the maze.

These are some initial PC speaker sounds that cover most of the common
sound effects, made by GhostlyDeath. Some discussion can be seen in
the thread on Doomworld:

Change comments:
Map15:
-Removed an impassible line in Red key area, now cacodemons can reach
players without trouble.
-Replaced an Imp for a Cacodemon
-Removed block sound lines in the red key area where 2 shotgunners can
be found near of the lift.
-Added "block Monster" lines for the imps that are near of the
chaingunner and shotgunners. so imps cannot be killed by them.
Map28
-Removed 4 chaingunners on the yellow key swicht, now the enemies that
will appear there would be defined by the skill level:
Easy: Zombieman
Normal: Shotgunner
Hard: Shotgunner
-Removed 2 hell knights on the yellow key area, now they are replaced
by imps.
-Removed the floor damaged on the blue key are where players find the
swicht where the rocket launcher is found.
-Removed the revenants on the blue key area near of the bloodfalls.
now they are replaced by chaingunners on all skills. this change was
made due revenants were to hard to kill in that place and also a waste
of ammo, now chaingunners provide a bit of challenge while they can be
killed easily.
Those are the final revisions for the maps. and i dont going to update
them until more players tells if the maps are still harder for them

Replace the current poor-quality handcrafted GUS configuration with
a script that programatically generates an optimized configuration
file based on statistical analysis of music from various popular WAD
files.
The PLAYPAL generation script (playpal.py) generates the full PLAYPAL
lump from the base file, but this actually contained all the palettes.
Truncate to just the main one.
Thanks to Fabian Greffrath for reporting this.
With a couple of exceptions, the majority of OPL instruments sound
better when adjusted down by one octave. It seems likely that the
original BSD instruments were supposed to sound this way and we've
been playing the wrong notes all this time.

Swap the offsets of the two segs on the front side of line 2544, the
exit switch. Seg 235 (from 0 to 48) had offset 48, and 236 (48 to 64)
had offset 0. Clearly these are the wrong way round.
Only noticable in engines that do not use the GL nodes in this map,
and have not yet switched to recalculating seg offsets themselves,
after that spate of wads with bad seg offsets circa late 2005.

This is a functioning (but awful) configuration file for the
Gravis Ultrasound card, which is usually stored in the IWAD as
DMXGUS / DMXGUSC. I constructed this by hand, and at least it's
better than nothing. Also included is a sanity check script that
checks the configuration will fit in the memory limits of the card.
