Description

Universal Episode Menu's primary purpose is to provide flexible support for all non-replacer mapset menus, as well as mods that may reset the EpisodeMenu list for various reasons. It's secondary purpose is to (eventually) provide a custom episode-selection menu that will avoid GZDoom reverting to the console-styled small text list by introducing (probably zscripted) submenus.

Features

• Layout modifications to allow for 11 episode entries (may be reverted when submenus are introduced)
• Only displays episodes you have installed
  ⠀
• EpisodeMenu support:
  • Wadsmoosh, any configuration (ZDoom) (itch.io)
  • Doom Episodes 1-4
  • SIGIL
  • Doom 2: Hell on Earth
  • Doom 2: No Rest for the Living
  • Final Doom (Hell on Earth, TNT: Evilution, and The Plutonia Experiment are still exclusive to each other without using Wadsmoosh)
  • Doom 2: The Master Levels (with Wadsmoosh)
  • Works of the Masters v7 (itch.io)
  • Knee-Deep in ZDoom (DRDTeam) (/idgames)
  • The Compendium v1.0 (ZDoom)
  • The Sentinel's Lexicon v133 (ZDoom) (ModDB)

Future Plans

• Submenus to prevent space overrun and reverting to the small text list
• Custom font, or possibly customized graphics for each item?

Known Issues

• (Zandronum) does not appear to have game filtering, and may display the wrong names for some episodes.
  • MAPINFO assigns maps by their internal name (ex: MAP01). With GZDoom's filtering, name corrections can be made based on the primary IWAD. However, in Zandronum, the following episodes will display incorrectly due to shared map filenames:
    • Hell On Earth: TNT: Evilution, The Plutonia Experiment, FreeDOOM Phase 2
