Chex Quest: Vanillavasion!

[Batmanifestdestiny]

Only about 5 people knew about this mod while I was working on it, but here it is so far!

This is Chex Quest: Vanillavasion!

What makes this mod so special, you might ask?  Well, it was designed to work on the original CHEX.EXE!

Click here to download!
This mod is a PWAD for Chex Quest advanced.

INSTRUCTIONS:
rename your chex.wad to something else like lol.wad or cq.wad, and then rename Chex Quest Advanced chex.wad

PLAYING THROUGH CHOCOLATE DOOM:
just click vanillavasion.bat, and it should work fine.

PLAYING THROUGH CHEX.EXE
edit the bat file to use chex instead of chocolate-doom, and then get rid of the IWAD area, and you're set!


STORY:
Fred Chexter was sitting around, drinking a cup of Ovaltine, when he gets reports that strange green slime has teleported in to several locations around the planet!  When he goes to an outpost, which was the nearest effected area, he finds that everyone has evacuated because the Flemoids are trying to invade his home planet again!  Pull out your Boot Spoon, this mod is going to get messy!




THIS IS AN EARLY MOD, IT ONLY HAS 1 LEVEL SO FAR, DO NOT DOWNLOAD YET IF YOU'RE EXPECTING A 20 LEVEL EPIC!


Sorry that my level still has the name of "Landing Zone," I can't figure out how to change level names for the vanilla engine.

DeHackEd ftw.

I'm gonna check this out eventually, but I've got other things to do today.

Umm, I don't see the download under your public files on Media Fire.

[The Slimeinator]

Sharekey fails it. Upload it to the Downloads section.

[Batmanifestdestiny]

Sorry about that.  I fixed the link!

DOUBLEPOST FOR GREAT CHANGE-RELATED JUSTICE

After working around, trying DeHackEd and other things, it turns out my issue involved one bmp file!

CHANGELOG:
Changed level 1 from "Landing Zone" to "Outpost"

Click to download fun!

FOR CHOCOLATE-DOOM USERS
click Vanillavasionb11.bat to play
Din't forget that you need chex.deh!
Oops, I forgot to mention that I failed with the batch file mildly, so open up the included vanillavasion.bat, and change "vanillavasion.wad" to "vanillavasionb11.wad"

FOR CHEX.EXE USERS
change the wad file to something less than 8 characters, also do this to the bat file, then edit the bat file and change "chocolate-doom" to "Chex" and remove the "iwad" section, and rename the wad in the batch file to the new wad name you gave it


For the next release, I'll make seperate zip files for chex.exe and chocolate, to make things easy

DO NOT FORGET THAT THIS USES CHEX QUEST ADVANCED, A VERY FUN AND VERY VERY NEEDED IWAD THAT NEEDS TO BE RENAMED FROM CHEXA.WAD TO CHEX.WAD FOR CONVENIENCE SAKE.



I can haz another subforum?

Hmmmm.... you could do that or just launch it the not-so-old-fashioned way () with ZDL

WEll, you COULD just drag it over ZDoom or something, but htat's no fun!

Its not quite working for me and I followed the instructions you laid out.. Instead, it runs Chex Quest 1, and yes, I have renamed it and the file for chex quest advanced.

[arch129]

The BAT file is kinda weird, it says that the Vanillavasion.wad should be called "CQAmod.wad".
Try renaming Vanillavasion.wad to CQAmod.wad.

[Batmanifestdestiny]

make sure you're batch file looks like this:

chocolate-doom -iwad chex.wad -file Vanillavasionb11.wad

if it looks like that, and you wad is in fact called Vanillavasionb11.wad, then it should work fine.


The Batch File that demanded "CQAmod" was when the game was in very early beta, and I didn't have a name for it.  I really don't understand why it would want that file name.


Do you have chex.deh, assuming you're running from chocolate doom?  If not, download it here.

[Bugaham]

I was actually running it from chex quest.

[Batmanifestdestiny]

to run it from chex.exe, rename the batch file and the wad file to cqv or something of the sort, and then in the batch file, make it say this:

chex -file cqv.wad

Then it should run like pie, assuming you're using Chex Quest Advanced being renamed as chex.wad.

I finally got it to work, and then I noticed it was VERY similar to another mod, and I felt the level was the same. The game is also a bit too hard for Chex Quest.

HA! Too hard for CQ? Ha!

You have much to learn, grasshopper. You haven't experienced hard until you've experienced both of The Slimeinator's Generation 2 mods, in the Suspended Projects section.
