As our regular modders are still converting their mods to 0.9.9.4 mod format, let me give you a simple example. Dead Simple.

simple.wad

Just copy it into your modules directory, run DoomRL and choose Custom Game. Enjoy! And post your mortems with a proper tag if you want :).

(source can be downloaded here)

Just tried it out. Definitely was dead simple. Fun though.

When I was done though, it didn't go back to the main title screen though. I got a bunch garbled text and numbers in the console then it just crashed and went back to windows.

Also noticed that the arachnotrons use the demon's hurt sound. Don't they have their own that can be used instead?

[Kornel Kisielewicz]

No idea about the sounds, but about the crash, could you check your error.log, and post it's contents?

Here's the error log.

I also forgot to mention that the main game story still plays when you start up a mod. Seems to me like it probably shouldn't.

[Uranium]

Regarding the sounds for Arachnotrons, I've looked in the Doom IWAD, and there's only an alert sound, a move sound and a death sound.

And the mod is indeed dead simple, and hilariously fun.

[Malek Deneith]

Being the one who was the last to muck around with default soundbinds I'd like to confirm it that, indeed Arachnotrons don't have their own pain sound. In fact a few other Doom mobs use demon pain sound, for example Cacodemons do from what I remember.

[Elephant]

It worked fine a few times, then crashed, and worked fine after that.

Here's the error log.

Crashed just after selecting trait.

The hidden BFG made it pretty easy, but it was still fun.

[Orbiplanax]

Funny Doom 2 port and a good wordplay too. The item placement was also quite similar if I recall correctly.

Would be interesting to see a mod including every original Doom 2 map, though some would be just ridiculous, especially on higher difficulties. (Cyberdemon on O´ of Destruction anyone?)
Map size, format and height are probably the biggest hindrances. Keys could be emulated by levers opening the appropriated doors. It probably isnt such a good idea. (And I am pretty sure this suggested before, several times already)
