Custom things mapping[edit]

The content descriptions and DEHACKED lump allowed to compile the following custom things mapping file for DMMPST (TSV format):

Additionally, blue, red and yellow skulls are included as reskins. Please let me know any improvements/corrections. And here's how you can help with mapping files for other WADs. --Dynamo128 (talk) 18:52, 31 December 2021 (CST)

The monsters were better linked to the three subsections, and the ammo/items to their Doom origins. Also (approximately) sorted monsters by health, and made various other improvements:

Regarding the bonus maps: possible conflicts between the mapping of things for the free and paid releases[edit]

I am under the impression that there are conflicts between the mapping of things of both releases. The thing is, the DEHACKED lump has been heavily modified, whereas the bonus maps have not been updated to take in account said modifications. Seemingly, the bonus maps may require the use of their original IWAD as a resource WAD, and a dedicated custom things mapping file.

An example (bonus_maps.wad and bonus_maps_verification.wad: E4Mx maps of the free release as extracted by SLADE3):

$ sha1sum -b rekkr_free.wad
52ed68e190c57a687754d60dc774f99e9648907b *rekkr_free.wad

$ sha1sum -b rekkr_paid.wad
7b87fa7b82fe0608e03107aaf17ad836f85d9878 *rekkr_paid.wad

$ sha1sum -b bonus_maps.wad
86ddacc8a3b109804d29e90c1c834e09803692f2 *bonus_maps.wad

$ sha1sum -b bonus_maps_verification.wad
86ddacc8a3b109804d29e90c1c834e09803692f2 *bonus_maps_verification.wad
prboom-plus -nomapinfo -noload -shorttics -complevel 3 -iwad doomu.wad -skill 4 -warp 4 9 -file rekkr_free.wad bonus_maps.wad
prboom-plus -nomapinfo -noload -shorttics -complevel 3 -iwad doomu.wad -skill 4 -warp 4 9 -file rekkr_paid.wad bonus_maps.wad

Wrong monster, as documented in E4M9: home.wad (REKKR):

The following lines having 'Thing [Cool number] (Cool thing)' differ (left: free version; right: paid version):

Thing 20 (Unused (spidermastermind))  |  Thing 20 (RunePorter)
Thing 22 (DeathRaven)  |  Thing 22 (Gardien)
Thing 26 (Big Brain)  |  Thing 26 (Flammenwerfer)
Thing 30 (Unused (demon spawn fire))  |  Thing 30 (UNUSED - Spawn fire)
Thing 33 (Wave)  |  Thing 33 (FlammenFIRE)
[nothing]  |  Thing 54 (Stimpack)

Thing 102 (WaveSpawner)  |  Thing 102 (AliveWife)
Thing 107 (mr bones)  |  Thing 107 (kingsmash)
[nothing]  |  Thing 128 (LANDMINE)

Could you kindly update this list to be in the correct TSV format? That would make it much easier to fix this and update the map pages. --Dynamo128 (talk) 05:49, 4 January 2022 (CST)
It looks like only E4M9 is affected, since it features four wave spawners (exclusive to this map) and one death raven. Thus:
# class	thingID	wikiname	wikilink	health
0	16	Death raven	REKKR#Bosses	5500
8	49	Wave spawner
--Diabolución (talk) 15:29, 5 January 2022 (CST)
Stats for bonus episode regenerated, only that last map changed indeed. --Xymph (talk) 16:16, 5 January 2022 (CST)
