Continue what was done in 0.10 and replace all of the Doom remixes.
This track should've been replaced a while ago.
While it is a good E1M1 track and a good remix at that, the "remix" part is the problem.
"Crawl" is a medium-paced metal track that helps set the mood at the start of the adventure.
The following changes should make the manual more available, and easier
to understand:
1) "make dist" and "make install" will now include all translations of
the manual.
1) A "freedoom-" prefix will be used in all cases in place of just
"manual".
2) All languages will have a two letter suffix, so English is now
"-en".
3) Only the PDF specified will be built when invoked in the top level
directory. For example:
make manual/freedoom-manual-en.pdf
Ran past this and got lost again.
The grey of the pillar just blends in too well with the wall behind it, while the height takes it out of the player's visual area of attention.
The pillar is given a texture that stands out and looks like something that should possibly move, while its base has been given the same markings as the switch that lowers the pillar. The pillar is also extended so that the yellow key is visible from the blue key (and if you can somehow jump to reach that key then more power to you - it should be an even harder jump than the old one.)
"Tunnel" feels out of place among E2's tracks and a lot more suited for the sandy, Egyptian temple-styled DM06. The feeling is coming from the harpsichord and thrashy instrumentation.
"Workout" is a lot more upbeat and fitting for the first few E2 tracks, Korp had originally intended it for E2M1 also.
E1M7: There was some talk about reverting to "Viral Research" but the viral waste being kept in open air pits seemed no more plausible than this building being a "transportation bay". "Materials" was evocative of something that would probably stay put if left alone. (Probably.)
E3M2: There never was anything added to this level that actually resembled a temple, though there are plenty of tunnels and things evocative of heat. There's also machinery suggesting some kind of power generation, and "Heate Tunnels" seemed oddly bathetic and understandably replaced.
DM22: Fixed inconsistent capitalization.
Map02: This level didn't really resemble a lab, let alone multiple of them. It was originally named "Jade Tumult" but that name doesn't fit this cluster at all; another name with the same initials was suggested, with "Janus" for the two-faced appearance of the starting area and "Terminal" for the big end teleporter (and cluster finale).
Map24: This is a dark, tight, claustrophobic map with narrow doorways and a very uneven floor, and in no way resembles something that can be called a "loading bay". It does, however, contain an odd arrangement of teleporters that does not appear to serve any practical purpose.
Map25: "Red Works" seemed still too reminiscent of id "Bloodfalls". "Surreality" was initially suggested by Uni but I disagreed because I always associated that name with the old E2M1, so we agreed to split the difference by naming it after a famous surrealist painting that involved melting and impossible machines.
Map29: "Last Stand" is not a stand, nor last. There's nothing about the flow of the level that would suggest anyone's doing a "last stand" here. The most prominent thing about it is the vast expanse of lava that some of the architecture is melting into. "Lake of Fire" was rejected as too doomily biblical.
"Shells" is a lot faster and more suited for the small, duel map that is DM23.
"White Lights" is more grandiose (why it was removed in 0.12 in the first place, didn't fit E1M2 at all) and fits the large, fortress-like DM27.
See #1253.
For E3M6 I've also rearranged the SP_DUDEs on those two columns in the hopes that the only instantly obviously repeating one is the one that should be non-humanoid.
Also addressed #996 for E3M6.
Quiets down the original sounds, delays them a bit, and adds a bunch of explosions, giving the impression of a delay in the sounds reaching the player.
A slightly longer delay on the pain sound would have been enough to address the awfulness of the old method of the Map16 ending, but at this point it doesn't really matter.
I don't know how to get the explosions louder without clipping.
Closes#1245.
Fix that bridge to look a little less awkward and #996-compliant.
Add a decorative door to the starting area monster closet, implying the monsters are coming in from another, inaccessible part of the facility. It does, however, make the floor match the main area again.
Make the freestanding AGM logo bolder, simpler and stronger.
Adjust some textures in and near the big skylight hall to lean into the quasi-outdoors aesthetic while also replacing the grate floor textures with something a bit easier on the eyes in low-res.
For maps that do things that might actually give an impression of an ostensibly horzontal-moving door that can be viewed from either side, or a pair of double-doors at the entrance to a level.
Includes replacement demo.
While fixing some issues Inuk had found, my dumb ass removed the secret green armor, which resulted in the secret near the blue key being empty on uv. This has been fixed along with a few misaligned textures I found during gameplay (Linedefs 1259 and 1290).
"Shells" by Ospaggi replacing "Music for Freedoom 7" by Jeremy "Vandalorian" Emerson which has been moved to DM04 replacing "Rush" by Kevin "Velvetic" Martins and Simone Alauk.
Addresses #1230. Includes replacement Map03 demo.
Map03-4
- Map03 exit is now very clearly marked as one. The lift is given an appearance that implies that it is what you're standing on at the start of Map04.
Map09
- The entryway switch into the ruined storage administration area is gone and the "inside" switch now opens the bars directly.
Clean up the ENDOOM lumps (lumps/endoom*.lmp) by removing extraneous
text and by making the colors more consistent and hopefully easier to
work with.
The rendering is pixel to pixel identical (no visible change) based on
Chocolate Doom's display on exit.
