Wolfenstein 3D News, Sound Fixed At Last! (News Only)

[Zack]

I would like 2 more beta testers for the next release please.

The next release will more than likely be the last so it has to be right.

If you would like to be one of the two beta testers wanted, please apply in this thread.

I will only select people of whom i think are trustworthy.

Leaking test versions I send you or posting details about test versions without my consent will be frowned upon.

Testing will include really just playing the game and making sure it doesn't crash.

There was a bug from day one preventing a certain set of wolf3d data files from getting into the third level. Since I doubt anyone got that far (probably waiting for sound fix) it was never detected until now.

So when I say you will need to test it, I am talking about getting at least past that level each time, either with or without using the cheats.

Thanks!

Sorry for double post :

Update :

Crashing bug found at last!.

Turns out to be related to the demo at the start of the game.

Fixing it is just a matter of time now

Keep ya posted!

Hey Zack, have you thought about adding a notification in the top left corner of whats going on like done in NewWolf? Basically have red or whatever color is best viewable display in the top left corner then either scroll up, out of view or simply fade away after a few seconds. The reason for this is sometimes I think I am getting shot at when only I am picking up ammo or treasure on the ground. I dunno just my thoughts on what could be added in before you stop working on it.

Examples:

Also maybe adding in a viewable map of some sort Like also done in NewWolf?

Update

The bug that caused the crashing on a certain set of wolf3d files on the third level has been fixed.

It just requires you to apply a patch once before you run it and it works like a charm then

Release is getting pretty close now
