I have found a bug in map 8 of the mod where one of the walls can be walked through.

Those fake elevators at the end gave a whole new meaning to the term "Get psyched".

Open SLADE and open the pk3. Navigate to maps and find the map you need. Open the wad and extract PLANES.MAP. After that import into either WDC or HWE to edit and then export back to PLANES.MAP and drop into the pk3. I use HWE because my computer is convinced WDC is a virus

What is considered the best editor for doing this kind of thing?

Fixed again. I put the wall in the wrong place lol. The pushwall only moves two spaces, so it was stopping 1 short. Download links are updated. Redownload or open the map and move the wall and secret door item down one spot

Oh yeah, I forgot to update the page to let everyone know. Thank you, and thanks for fixing it, playing it right now. :computer:

Edit, that same pushwall now stops one block short in front of the passage, which is kind of weird because there's nothing there.

I don't think so, I downloaded it in December, says you last updated in October. Either way, glitch is fixed in both versions. Either redownload or crack open the map and delete the secret door behind the secret door. All I did to the maps was add the brightness info in the corner of each map, so I'm seriously surprised the original mod was up for so long without anyone ever noticing :lol:

Interesting. Yeah, I'm all for keeping the mod closer to the original also. If you wanted to update it to use the actual actors, I wouldn't mind. :)

You seem to be using an old version of the sprite fixing project. I've updated it since then to include pain rotations I made for all the non boss enemies.

Edit, I can't seem to beat map 3 without cheating because there is a guard blocking the pushwall behind the locked door.

The Spear xlat is more or less a super set of the Wolf3D xlat. A few things were overwritten IIRC, so they're not exactly interchangeable.

Really I should have used decorate to have trans/dk's attributes paste over gretel/fatface's. With trans it's unnoticeable since all the grosses are practically clones, but the missles and health is way off for the dk. It really is just kind of ghetto-rigged in there, lol, but that's how it had to be done back in the day if you didnt wanna crack the source open. Next thing I'm doin, I'm using decorate to replace actors I'm not using, that way it works a little bit more like its supposed to, but I don't think I'm gonna mess with this mod anymore lol.

Also, referring to what you said about xlats, I never changed it for the mod I loaded in and yet hans was working, sans assets. Maybe wolf can recognize spear xlat functions?

ECWolf does not make any distinction between games as far as actor availability goes. The only difference there is the xlat script. So just changing the xlat and providing the sounds and sprites is enough to port an actor from one game to the other.

However, since this is a port of an existing mod, it's probably best to keep it as it was given. The actors in the Mac version of Wolf3D are slightly different in timings, and ECWolf will support the Mac mission as-is eventually, so it's probably best to model after the PC version anyway.
