Hideous Destructor | Star Wars Doom | No Failure Runs | Part 1
14An attempt at doing a mappack with this insane idea, coupled with some new additions as well. Almost 40 minutes for the first map and I don't have the space nor the speed, hence Part 1. Trying out that load save demo recording too for the later parts, should be neat.
The usual stuff appears like the demo recording playback and no commentary, this time however I'm playing on Insurgent for obvious reasons (it did cost me a lot though, the randomness made a lot of earlier playthroughs go horribly wrong).
I'm also playing with the new HD Space-themed weapons addon graphical/auditory replacer I cobbled up, same link as the other ones. I did however modify the Star Wars wad itself when I played it, as the original enemy idle sounds got REALLY irritating at times. Music's also different, used the same randomizer for the C:DS stuff (basically the Q:CDE music randomizer with the .ogg's changed) but replaced for Dark Forces music. A texture replacer mod is also used, as the original had these brown brickwalls as ceilings which looked really weird (the wad I'm playing is a D2 PWAD cobble of the other Star Wars wads, the result was a bunch of texture oddities and who knows what else), it's still weird as they're still bricks with the floor being altered as well, but they should look slightly less awkward.
This map was really difficult, lots of ways to get flanked with tons of zombieman + shotgunguys + imps to boot. Doesn't really help that the final run is guarded by numerous amounts of knights that could end that single +40 minutes run in tears (hence why I just ran for it at the end there with the invul). Not a lot of meds as well aside from the secret rooms and the yellow key supply room. Definitely a tricky challenge to start off this playthrough with, though the other maps should be easier to traverse now that I have the yellow key door supplies, Thunder Buster saves the day a lot with its less-irritating-to-use Pulse alt.
