Is anyone familiar with a level that had an Archville waking and 
running through half a dozen teleporters and ending up right in 
front of you? I deleted it a while back but now I want to give 
him credit as I have ripped off his idea in my level.

This message is being posted at the request of the list caretaker: 

The purpose of this list is to discuss *advanced* DOOM editing techniques. 
In order to keep it that way, if you have a question but don't know whether 
it's advanced or not, mail it in the first instance to: 

  Steve Benner : S.Benner@lancaster.ac.uk 

Your question will either be answered or, if deemed suitable, forwarded to 
the list.  This is offered as a potential red-face saving and 
list-annoyance abatement service. Feel free to send questions at any level 
on any topic of WAD editing. 

**If your questions are prefixed with the code WQ: (for 'WAD query') in the 
subject field (e.g. Subject: WQ: Sprites), they will be processed quicker 
because they will be spotted by an automatic mail sorter and brought to my 
attention sooner than if I have to plough through my mail-box!** 

This reminder will be posted here weekly, with the same subject title. 

SEND QUERIES ABOUT SUBSCRIPTION TO:- 
 doom-editing-owner@ngv.unit.no **NOT** to me. Thank you.

Subject: Deathmatch uniform colors 

Sorry, a little off topic, but most of the doom utility writers 
seem to be on this mail list: 

I think everyone will agree that the uniform color has an effect on 
the deathmatch results - green is just too easy to see. 

There used to be a utility called DOOMCC that was supposed to change 
the uniform colors to make thing more fair.  I tried it and it doesn't 
seem to work - probably because I'm running 1.9 and it was written for 
1.2. 

Anyway, what I'm looking for is a utility that will allow me to make 
the uniform colors fair: change them to be similar - change them to be 
random (as it is now on our IPX network, one guy always gets green due 
to his network ID).   

Got anything?

Hey all- 

What are the maximum number of two sided linedefs 
that DOOM can draw in one view?   Last time I RTFM 
it was "around 62".   Is this true for v1.666?  what 
about v1.9?    

Thanks

I beg to differ!  I'm always green, and I win 90% of the time!  But, we play  
on levels where you pretty much keep moving, or risk dying a grisly death,  
and no matter what color you are, you are esay to spot if you are moving.  I  
can see how it would be a problem on the "hide and seek" levels. 

There was another utility that I heard someone mention on one of the  
newsgroups, and I can't remember the name, but you may want to post your  
question there if you get no response from doom-editing. 

Later,
