TNT 30
In regards to "I wouldn't call this a bug. The Final Boss is vulnerable to any weapon. It's just the way it is used in all official maps that forces the player to use rockets to hurt it. I meant all other official maps except this one, below". In Doom 2 you are forced to use rockets because the actual head is protected by the floor inside of the brain so when rockets hit the back wall of the brain the splash damage hurts the head. The same thing happens in Plutonia. In TNT the head is vulnerable to any weapon that can fit through the door which is opened by going past the beginning candles. Therefor the actual boss brain is vulnerable to all attacks of any kind except melee attacks. GhostlyDeath 17:50, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

Indeed, you've just repeated what I was trying to say in a sentence, as a paragraph; The head mobj is vulnerable to any weapon (i.e. it doesn't have a coded immunity to plasma say), however it's position behind the face wall in Doom2 and Plutonia render it unhittable by anything except rocket splash damage.

Hence your comment on the TNT map30 article stating that it is a bug that the head can be hurt by bullets isn't correct.Verm January 24, 2010


 * It doesn't match Doom 2. GhostlyDeath 19:13, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

Just because TNT uses the head in a slightly different way to Doom2 and Plutonia doesn't make it a bug. It is the intended behaviour that the head in TNT can be hit by any ranged weapon and also that the tunnel containing the head is just below the "hole in the head" on the wall graphic rather than level with it.

 * Possibly, but you would need to find the author of the map to see if he or she intended for such things (unless you are that person) and if not it would be a map bug. There is a 50/50 chance of whether this is a bug or not. GhostlyDeath 19:35, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

I have corrected the trivia in question with a reason why. Hopefully it will explain the mistake yourself is making. Verm January 24, 2010


 * My last edit settles it then. GhostlyDeath 20:03, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

Halls of the Damned
Hello, Verm.

Thanks for improving my edit on E2M6. I'll make my future additions more detailed before posting them and check the language so that other users don't have to spend so much time fixing them... Anyway, I thought the oddity of the entrance door could be worth mentioning. :) --Jartapran89 19:31, October 19, 2009 (UTC)
