Skulldash - A Fast-Paced Speedrun Arcade Mod

[Dragonfly]

That's a pretty serious issue.

I'm working on a multiplayer patch right now, and would heavily appreciate some people to be online testers. When me and Yellowtail played together we got through a good 6 or so levels error free, so it'd be good to find out the cause of this. Did any players die or disconnect mid-game? Did anyone join (although since it's survival I doubt that's an issue)?

Having some people around who can help investigate would be greatly appreciated.

Not any specific conditions i remember. But i think more than 1 person was playing each time this happened.

[Dragonfly]

You'll be pleased to know Remmirath and myself (mostly Remmirath) are fixing this issue as we speak. I'll re open the Official Skulldash Server once we can confirm it's fixed.

[Dragonfly]

I can confirm that the bug you suffered is no longer a problem. Now to tackle why the final boss goes invisible...

Skulldash just won a Cacoward over at Doomworld!

Thank you to everyone who helped the project become what it is today, and equally, thank you to everyone who's taken the time to download and play Skulldash!

I have Doom.wad from Steam.

Are you using Zandronum verison 3.0?

[Hareton]

It turned out I used 2.0, because it was installed on my system.

But now, using full pack from the website, I have textures missing. http://s24.postimg.org/p3iapwqid/Screen ... 085851.png

[agaures]

How are you loading everything? Are you just loading skull dash or skulldash along with the skulltag data files.

Edit:

I should also mention the order in which you load the files is important too. The skulltag files should be the first to load.

[Hareton]

I use drag and drop. Now I tried to load also skull tag actors and data, it loads textures properly, but how do I access mod's maps? There olny Doom 1 episodes.

[agaures]

Oh, this mod is made for Doom 2 by the way.
As said in the first post "Skulldash, a fast-paced speedrun arcade mod for Doom II!"

[Dragonfly]

Thank you aguares for replying on my behalf. Everything Aguares has said is correct, here it is again for a little more clarity.

• You need Doom2.wad
• You need Zandronum 3.0 Alpha at least
• You need the Skulltag_data.pk3 and Skulltag_actors.pk3 files, which can be found on the website.
• You need to open the skulltag resources before Skulldash in the order the files are opened.
• Since you've downloaded the full version, use the 'PLAY SKULLDASH.bat' file - For this to work you need Doom2.wad, Skulltg_actors.pk3, Skulltag_data.pk3 and Skulldash.pk3 all in the same directory as the .bat file
• Have fun!

I'll be sure to check this thread more often until your issue has been resolved!

[Hareton]

Thanks, it works now.

This wad is great, I especially like athmospheric map design. 10/10.

Some awesome stuff right there! It was a bit of a pain to go for all the trouble of installing zandro 3.0, but it was worth it.
The hub brings Stronghold memories, Tormentor667 touch maybe? :p

I'm both friends with T667 and worked on two maps for Stronghold. I'd be lying if I wasn't influenced from that experience!

The hub experience was loosely inspired by older gen games such as Crash Bandicoot 2, Spyro 1 etc where you'd have a room / homeworld with a series of portals for that particular 'chapter' of the game. To make it fit in with the arcade experience (and save time for those after replaying maps) it made more sense to condense it all in one map rather than one per tier.

I've very glad you enjoyed your time playing Skulldash, means a lot to me that people are still picking it up and enjoying it now :D
