I've never done it but I believe I heard someone say that this had been
disabled in newer versions of doom. I may be wrong...

First of all: sorry to bother this list again - could someone manage
to move this discussion to another list please?

Uhm, I meant that you can't enter the Single Player part of the level when
you are playing in Deathmatch. Just look at my upcoming zealot.wad should
be out in a few days. There is a Deatmatcharena with a separate exit and
much stuff that is not there when you play Single Player!
But a DM only MegaPWAD would be nice anyway :)

Ach-hah! Yes, exactly.
So is there somewhere where the proletariat masses can get a copy of a
dehacked patch file that changes the BFG into a minelayer? =8)

Hmmmm.... I have not done much exe hacking at all, and have pretty much ignored
the conversation so far, but....
Surely if you have set the speed of a thing to 0 (or -1 or whatever), and given
it a gravity bit, you can drop a mine, and it will fall to the ground...
Thinking on this, I can see some problems, such as `How tall is a rocket', that
it knows when to stop falling, etc. Just a thought, anyway.
Byeeeee,
Bob.

Subject: [Q] random map generation ?
A few days ago I read some posts in the rec.games.doom news
(S/N constant while N -> 0 :) mentioning random map generation
(AFAIR, RandSeen/RandSeed and GenMap, right?).
Has anybody found/tried/used these tools? Comments?
Besides the obvious problems of "automatic map generation", maybe
there's something to learn that's useful for "automated assists"
during first stage map design, e.g. creating grids, inserting
templates, weighted random object placement...
Is anybody around here able to comment on the algorithms used,
and on the quality of those automatically produced maps?

The address for the wad-team list is: wad-team@peak.org.
If you want to subscribe to this list, send e-mail to: majordomo@peak.org
with no subject, no signature and only one line in the message:
subscribe wad-team
Note that you can also use other majordomo commands, such as "help",
"lists", "who <list>", etc. The wad-team list is now moderated, so you
may have to wait one or two days before Mike Gholson (mtg@peak.org)
approves your subscription.
Please move all traffic related to this WAD project to this mailing
list, NOT on doom-editing.

NOOOO! WAD-Team is for TNT only. Please crates a new mailing list.
The wad-team list is getting full anyway, and it will be hard to sort
out all the mail.

We've pulled this off in our lab quite a while ago. If I remember correctly,
the '-devparm' parameter is not necessary. Also, instead of '-left' and
'-right', we used '-drone left' and '-drone right'. '-Nodes 3' is required,
I believe.
Try the following:
Terminal 1: ipxsetup -nodes 3 -drone left
Terminal 2: ipxsetup -nodes 3
Terminal 3: ipxsetup -nodes 3 -drone right
Again, it was quite some time ago, so take what I say with a bit of salt.
Good luck.
