Summary: bugs in movie wad
Keywords: Aliens, Predator, Terminator
X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2]
Is anyone else dissatisfied with MOVIE.WAD? This is the one that
replaces the Cacodemons with Predators, Imps with humanoid Aliens, Grunts are
redesigned into Terminators with half their endoskull showing and carrying
Plasma shooting weapons, Sergeants have sunglasses (like Arnold), and there
are COOL Aliens pods (better than those in Aliens DOOM) that, when shot,
sprout mini-Facehuggers (that DON'T hover...they jump at you like they should).
The Facehuggers I like (they replace the Grunts) but I have problems with the
others.
The Predator graphics can be seen before running DMADDS on the file
MOVIE10.WAD: there is a front view and a death scene, but the side views look
like Imps. After running DMADDS and producing MOVIE.WAD, the Predator is
COMPLETELY invisible so is never seen! This SUCKS! I wanna be able to SEE
the Predator every now and then, but invisible foes are NEVER seen even when
they are killed. I don't see what the point of making the Predator color
graphic of its front view when we'll never see it, but I'll have to take that
up with the author.
Also, the death scenes for the Aliens (who look like modified Imps but
act like Pink Demons) are not complete. It still shows the Pink Demon dying
in a few frames. I happened to notice that some of these scenes overlap into
the Cacodemon frames when running MOVIE10.WAD (before DMADDS does its
modifications). I would like to know how to pull the graphics out of this
PWAD so I can reogranize them and edit them myself. I cannot understand how
they got so mixed up and jumbled. If anyone else has had similar experiences
or could help me, please E-Mail me and post here. Thanx in advance.
