DBP24: Spaceballs: The Sequel: The Quest For More DBP Maps

Thank you. Hopefully it will be avaiable soon. For now, I got this:

I guess, the upload is finished but moddb has not yet reuploaded this to every their mirror.

But, I guess the project is released already, and that means testing those late submissions in project development thread is not needed anymore. I could not test the late yesterday updates as that would force me not to sleep.

Thank you, I've grabbed it.

Its always amazing how DBP releases have more stuff (in particular, levels) than development thread testers see. I guess some action was organised outside the boards, such as on Discord.


Crispy Doom versions started triggering AV alarms some time ago - you can read about in on doomworld in Crispy Doom's development thread. It is presumed that these are false positives. However, since no concrete proof of that exists, I can not update it and would advise anybody to make decision for themselves (whether to update or not). Also, the claim is that cross-compiled binaries cannot be infected is not valid - it is possible for the system to be hacked and tamper with compiler itself (so that malicious payload is inserted in everything that gets build by it). The fact Chocolate Doom and Crispy Doom use the same auto-builder actually means there is a valid reason for that system to be targeted and hacked (lots of people will be getting virus). I recall the site that hosted Red Alert 2 assets was once hacked, so it seems there are people out there trying to infect retro-game players by attacking modding sites and what not.

I didn't check whether Crispy Doom uses 'reproducible builds' technique - which could be a way to actually back up the false positive claim. (build from source using a specific toolchain and get the same byte for byte output).

I do not want to dissiduate people from using Crispy Doom, I simply remain skeptical. Paranoid, maybe. I admit I can be described by some people as paranoid, but as they say "The issue isn't whether you're paranoid, but whether you're paranoid enough."

DBP24 Spaceballs the ZDoom281 Continuous Demo! (rc1)



In this case it's coz 3 of the maps were submitted and finalised very late (read: less than 12 hours ago, one of which only got started 24 hours ago). Also we like to keep some stuff as a surprise for the final compile, namely the bookend story stuff that ties everything together and is the cherry on top.

Also to note we've already found a handful of stuff which will be updated in the coming few days for the next RC or final version if we nail them all, none of which is gamebreaking although there's one secret in MAP03 that can't be reached currently and we somehow let the GLDEFS for GZDoom users fall out of the first compile. So we ask any bugs report em quick, Vert wants to have this final very soon!

Waiting to see the vertigo works on my map when it's done... Overall going to download the RC1 soon!

Thank you mate! Couldn't have finished without you!

Very nice!

How did they even find out tho?

I've gotten the impression that games journalists scout Doomworld for cool Doom mods to write articles about at their discretion.
