Since I couldn't join you to for this TNS again, I at least played the pack in SP. But there were missing textures in several maps in GZdoom. Also, it reported "Invalid data for textures: BLUEMAP" during startup. Have you encountered this during TNS, too? And if so, do you have a fixed version?
Yeah, sorry, there are some problems in the old compilations. Nowadays there is a really good tool for solving texture conflicts but back then it was quite a hassle and also I was less experienced so I didn't fix everything. In ZDaemon you at least get gray rocks instead of nonexistent textures, which looks a bit better.
Newer compilations that I'm making should be of much better quality. I'm also checking the maps for close door triggers and stuff like that now. It would be nice to go back to these old ones and improve them but I can't promise anything.
