Prepare for the unusual, albeit not in black and white. A megawad from 1999 by Paul Corfiatis, this pack boasts some interesting level designs filled with enough monsters for everyone to tussle with.

|

Alteus, TZ2 contains some really shitty custom sounds and unnecessary sprites (such as Hexen-type fist). As I noticed, many TNS players hate that (myself included). So I cut that crap out, but I retained the "Ejaculator" chainsaw replacement weapon and custom monsters, as they're not all that bad. You can download the cut version here:

Please use it instead of original TZ2 file. |

I don't have enough time left to check for possible dehacked conflicts so there will be no TNS custom monsters and items this session. I agree that the sounds really don't fit in well with standard doom monsters and environment so cut what you think should be cut, but bear in mind that some of the sounds seem to be shuffled around in dehacked and there may be unexpected results.
EDIT: I see that some of the sounds are accompanied with appropriate sprites, it might make sense to keep them in such cases... but, anyway, I don't know the wad enough and neither do I want to make the call this time. |

I knew about the sounds, I fixed the dehacked so they would behave like in original Doom2. The sounds associated with sprites are mainly for impaled and hanged corpses (which will gib if you shoot them). However, this is bugged even in the original WAD, so some corpses spawn dying archviles, others spawn dying marines (I didn't bother to fix this, as they're not that frequent in the maps). There are also "ambient" Hexen-like sounds, which I left there.
If you want, I could cut out all custom monsters and weapons. It would make the WAD somewhat easier though, and would probably break boss fight in MAP30. |

Cool, seems like you thought it through. Alteus and/or memfis should be around in time today, so they will decide this. |

Aw damnit, I forgot to fix dehacked sounds of invisible Nazis in MAP12. Nothing serious, but here is the new version of the WAD:

Everyone, sorry about those annoying item spawning sounds. I didn't know they can be replaced via custom WADs, too. Also, I didn't expect any WAD author would choose such a lame one. Oh well, the more you know... |
