Beyond Reality!

[Darsycho]

I completely forgot to make a thread on this forum since about my wad, since it works with zandronum. =P

Anyways...



There is a dimension, a dimension full of nonsense and surrealism. It is a place where crates are out to kill you, and a place where logic jumps off a bridge. A journey into a wondrous land of ludicrosity, your next stop: Beyond Reality!

So what does this wad have to offer? Well...

• Explore super-green planets, planets made mostly out of crates, and a skyward club!
• Bizarre enemies: Winged crates armed with gatling guns and a fireball shooting cannon, flying doomguy heads, and living shish kebabs!
• Glorious music by Andrew Sega.
• Since all maps have most weapons placed in, every map can be played from pistol start. (It's a rough challenge though!)

[one_Two]

Very nice. I had such fun playing it and I can tell a lot of work has been put in. The many monsters monster was particularly nice.

You decide. =P

I already posted my praise over at this project's ZDoom thread, but I'll just restate that I love this wad and I've never seen anything quite like it.

The first time I played it, I was high as hell. The second time I played through it, I was 100% sober, but was still just as amazed/terrified/entertained as the first time. This is usually how I judge if albums are good, but lately I've been doing it with wads too. ;p


I still get lost on that ice level though. I have no idea where to go. Am I supposed to jump off one of the cliffs?

Yes you're suppose to jump off the cliff.

Yes you're suppose to jump off the cliff.

Thanks. I wasn't sure. I spent like 15 minutes actually shimmying along on the ledges like Sam Fisher because I thought that jumping down would kill me. :S

Hello, I just looked at my email I put on /idgames and noticed this.

Hi,

your WAD "Beyond Reality" causes all clients in multiplayer to freeze when somebody encounters the "randomguy" monster. I've already filed a bug report for this:
http://zandronum.com/tracker/view.php?id=1200

You may still wish to fix your WAD. I reckon that this will be easier and quicker than to wait for the bug to be resolved in Zandronum. I think that adding a one tick delay in See state would fix the problem but you'd have to test that to confirm.

Regards,
Zalewa

So I went ahead and made a patch for the time being.

Map06 is playable, though for some reason when i started a server and tested it, while the game runs fine, I notice this being spammed over and over in the admin control whatchamacallit:

NETWORK_AttenuationFloatToInt: Warning unknown attenuation value

The same thing happens with map14, any idea?

Here's the patch by the way:

Sounds like a Zandronum bug. Please report it at the tracker (if there is not ticket for this yet).
