=========================================================================== Archive maintainer : This is a hotfix which corrects a bug in MAP17 that prevented 100% Kills, as well as a bug in MAP29 that could prevent it in coop multiplayer and a bug in MAP18 that could get you trapped. A list of the changes made in this hotfix and the second release can be seen in changes.txt. Update to : levels/doom2/Ports/megawads/cchest4.zip Advanced engine needed : Boom-compatible source ports with an increased SEGS limit (PrBoom+ 2.5.1.3 -complevel 9 or Eternity Engine v3.40.25 "Midgard" recommended) Primary purpose : Single play =========================================================================== Title : Community Chest 4 Filename : cchest4.wad Release date : August 17, 2012 (first release) September 9, 2012 (second release) September 12, 2012 (hotfix) October 19, 2012 (second release +) Author : Various (see Credits) Description : The fourth installment of the series, Community Chest 4 boasts 32 maps made by 20 different authors from the Doom community. After four years of work, they have been made available for your enjoyment. Included in this package is the base resource WAD compiled for the project, which can be found in cc4-tex.zip. It may be a good starting point if you need a large, varied, and meticulously organized texture WAD for your project! =========================================================================== * What is included * New levels : 32 Sounds : No Music : Yes (see Credits) Graphics : Yes (see Credits) Dehacked/BEX Patch : Yes (for level names / intermission text; included inside the WAD) Demos : Yes (recorded with PrBoom+ 2.5.1.3) Other : OPTIONS lump (see Known Bugs) MAPINFO/ZMAPINFO for ZDoom (NOTE: jump and crouch buttons disabled to ensure intended gameplay) EMAPINFO for Eternity Engine Other files required : None * Play Information * Game : Doom 2 Map # : MAP01-32 Single Player : Designed for Cooperative 2-4 Player : Player starts only Deathmatch 2-4 Player : Player starts only Other game styles : None Difficulty Settings : Yes * Construction * Base : New from scratch Build Time : Four years Editor(s) used : Too many to list Known Bugs : As of this writing, parts of MAP14 will not be rendered correctly when played in certain ports, such as GLBoom+ and Risen3D. This is because of the use of the Mordeth bridge effect, which is currently not supported by most hardware renderers. On MAP18, crossing the bridge north of you will cause any monsters beneath it to be teleported on top of it. This is a limitation of the bridge effect used in that area and there is nothing that can be done about it without crippling monster movement. On MAP20, in PrBoom+, dots can occasionally be seen floating in the air above the curving lasers later on in the level. The cause of this bug is unknown to the compiler as of this writing. In addition, although this isn't a bug, it should be noted that one level requires the death of the player to exit, so if your source port does not allow dead players to exit by default, you must turn this function on (if such an option exists). The OPTIONS lump included in this WAD serves to force this option on in the Eternity Engine, so you won't need to turn it on every time you play.
