What really effects gameplay of this megabyte wad is the fact that it
seems lots of the levels have no actual exit to them, so the only way to
play many of the levels is to start Doom from that level.

The major problem would be that when the rocket comes into contact with
another object or wall/ceiling, it explodes.
Now... if you could control the rate at which it "falls", you could
essentially have a "timebomb" type of effect. But I don't think the amount
of gravity can be changed for just one object.

We always use the timer parameter to limit a game to a set number of minutes.:
-timer 20

Sounds like the same error message we used to get when using the
character set in a texture. The game unexpectedly flushed the character
lumps from memory and then tried to look then up in memory, giving a
similar error. Are you doing anything unusual with textures? I suggest
you reexamine them if so.
