Indeed, the boring period can be annoying, but it is much better than needing to rush and yet having little time to do all that is expected of you.

Quake and Doom are two different entities, especially technology-wise, so Worch is probably right when he says that a lot of Doom mappers just hated the complexity of 3d level designing.

Indeed, it is a lot more than "my first level, my house, which I uploaded to the internet because everyone else hasn't already done this" or "complex puzzle maze that is actually impossible to complete". As I was saying for E1M6, that seems to be the mentality for boss levels. Note that Shub-Niggurath's Pit does something similar. What I find odd about E1M7 is that there is a door behind you, implying that is where you came from.

Usually, the exploiting part comes when they expect you to perform some miracle that is impossible to do with the software, but they don't know due to their lack of knowledge with said software. Luckily, most cases with me are posed as questions, but then I live in doubt if there is some niche way to do it that I didn't think of.

Oh yes, I remember the lighting issues quite well, I never knew there was anything different however. The original DOS executable works the same in regards to lighting. But you are right, it can get odd, since Armor and other Powerups follow the rules of lighting. For some reason, I never thought they were bugs, I just accepted them as being that way.

Pretty much, a mass connection which should lead to a much better whole.

Oh, the bad news with me is that colds can last a bit. I have had cases where I have gone from Thanksgiving to Christmas on one cold. Recording shall be on an "as-is" basis, since as said I have periods where I feel like I can actually talk. I don't have a cough luckily, it is just a runny nose and a sore throat. Usually there seems to be a "midpoint" in the day where I feel better, which means weekends could possibly still have content if this lasts a bit.

Been finding some levels made with THRED in October. This is curious, since Aftershock came out in November and the mentality of that pack was that it was not allowed to be distributed onto the internet until said commercial pack was released. Does this suggest an early leak?
