There are a fair number of mods for DoomRL: unfortunately, almost all of them are made for versions prior to 0.9.9.4. Since I have a rudimentary knowledge of how modules work, I've taken it upon myself to update some mods to this version so that they can be played and used with "Custom Game". Below is a list of wads that I've finished so far (I've gotten permission from most of the creators; those people can ask me for the source code if they want to get at it):

Marine Base (by Battleguy)
Angel of Patience (by Simon-v) (in use by author)
Restless (by Gargulec)
Invasion (by you)
Metal Gear (source, by Simon-v)

Just dump these into your modules folder and enjoy! And also please report any bugs because they're probably related to the porting process. I just made sure that they played for a couple of minutes, not for the entire playthrough.

I played Marine Base a few times and so far it has worked well.

The only wrong thing I experienced was that when I died and was shown the post-mortem, I press Enter and blood pours down. When the blood reveals the title screen for 98%, the red shit gets stuck for a little longer at the bottom of the screen then it's supposed to.

Oh, and the 'Restless' mod just crashes and quits the game when attempting to launch it. Right after the first trait choice.

[Kornel Kisielewicz]

The delay is normal -- DoomRL reloads all data files after a mod game.

I really think these should be released in raw format, like the original sandbox scripts were

[Simon-v]

I've looked through the code of the port and tweaked it a bit. It seems to work fine. I'm going to release an updated version eventually (a work-in-progress can be found here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23785083/DoomRL-Sandbox/0994/patience.module.zip. In any case, thanks for reminding me how cool (and utterly infuriating to play) this little project of mine was.

Sorry, I seem to have missed that report from yesterday. Apparently the require() function doesn't work very well with WAD files, even if it's fine with the raw module. A quick fix has been made, and I tested the WAD myself so it should be okay now.

Thanks for the reports.

[Simon-v]

I have modified the source of Angel of Patience and posted an updated version in the relevant thread. With that, i am back to actively maintaining it again.

Whee! A fun module, but it doesn't seem to have aged well.

[Game Hunter]

I've actually had Invasion done for some time now, but I was waiting for 'you' on permission. Since this is just the WAD file anyway, I'm going to post it.

I still haven't figured out the bug in Restless: any information regarding it (and other ports) should be sent to this thread post-haste.

[Ander Hammer]

I'd have posted more information if I hadn't a) had zero free time the past few weeks and b) lost the computer with the error data to an as-yet-unascertained malfunction a while back.

I'll see if I can replicate it when I get a chance.

[Game Hunter]

Okay, the Metal Gear port is good enough to put here (see OP). For SOME reason the enemy sounds don't feel like working, and I want to resolve that at some point, but everything else is functional and you guys have been waiting long enough. (Also note that the source folder is given here because it's too ridiculous to lump all of it into a single file.) As always, report bugs as you find them. Incidentally, if you figure out how to make the sounds work (the information is in main.lua) then let me know that, too.

Quake 2 Demo and TerminatorRL should be done soon enough, and that will have taken care of all the publicly-released old mods.
