RE: Doom2 - Redemption Of The Slain Full Release and Download
For what it's worth, Brutal Doom 21 is in Beta and fixes the Blood.txt error. Alternatively, the user can just load the following patch wad rather than much with unzipping the PK3: http://www.moddb.com/mods/brutal-doom/addons/brutalv20bpk3bloodtxt-patch-gzdoom-22
I've also found a pretty big sequence break in the map which lets you skip the lock-in fight after the library (the room with 6 pillars and skulls you hit to trigger each wave) as well as the subsequent fight in front of the red skull door. I'll be recording and uploading today. (Already posted the blue-key bypass, not sure if you've seen that one yet =P )
Was it by rocket jumping? There is literally nothing I can do to fix the breakage that rocket jumping can cause. Thanks for the feedback ill go over it :D
"SequenceBreak.mp4" is just a single jump.
The blue key bypass is a grenade jump, but given just how powerful grenades are, you can't grenade jump unless you're on a ledge far above the grenade, as is the case in "skipBlueKey.mp4" - an easy fix would be raise the cliff a tiny bit behind the tied up marines so you couldn't jump up there.
Anyway, just trying to help :)
This is excellent feedback! Thanks for finding this. The question is, should I fix it or leave it in for speed runners to figure out?
Heh, that's for you to decide XD
I guess since it's unlikely anyone would casually run into any of these it doesn't "need fixing." One of the joys of doom is "getting to places you (seemingly) aren't supposed to get to" so leaving them in intentionally might be kind of fun, even a reward for one, like a screen message for getting up into the rafters or something. Quake 2 had a similar reward IIRC; in one level towards the end if you rocket jumped behind a cistern it said "you crazy rocket jumpers" or something. The single jump sequence break is already inside of a secret, so could already be considered its own reward. As for general game-play, I'm aiming to do a playtest of this new "version 1." After a quick poke around I'm glad to see there's some more health scattered around (There were times where it felt like the crossing Sahara desert between health packs lol!). I haven't gotten to the new "ending" yet so that'll be virgin when I do the video.
Peace!
The ending battle is 5-7 minutes of pure carnage, its quite over the top. I did my best to make Hurt me plenty play well for normal players but Ultra violence gets dicey to say the least.
