Subject: Archville
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,
