Doom 64 EX: Missing Fun levels and Lost levels [SOLVED]

[maxdavinci]

After finishing Absolution including the secret levels unfortunately the game is over now.
Shouldn't there be the 'Fun Levels' in the options menu?
And what about the 'Lost Levels'? Maybe they are called 'Lost levels' because they are actually lost.

I used the patch with the original Steam wad.

The fun levels appear after beating the Hectic secret level, I assume this is one of the secret levels you beat (its accessed from the first level)? Then after you beat Hectic, a features menu appears, but it only appears when you load the save where you have Hectic beaten.

You can warp to the fun levels through that features menu. I would guess you can warp to the lost levels too from that features menu too. Let me know if this doesn't work.

This is not true. You simply need to be actively in the game to access the features menu, either by starting a new game, or by loading a save. You do not need to load the save it was finished on to access the menu.

Thank you so much! I've just forgotten how to access these levels.

Features -> Warp to Fun: Cat and Mouse, Hardcore, Playground

Besides: after Absolution the next level is Outpost Omega which reappears though I've finished all secret levels.
Starting a new game does not show up the option 'Lost levels'.

I wonder how to activate the Lost Levels as they are said to be included in the Steam wad.

Maybe this is a bug in the Doom 64 EX version.

Just found a way to access Map34: Plant Ops which is the first Lost Level.
Hurrah!

Features -> Hectic: Beat it again or ^exitlevel -> 33: Intro Demo level -> Final Screen -> Plant Ops.
I wonder why the game did not unlock the 'Lost Levels' after beating 'Hectic' on my first run.


34: Plant Ops
35: Evil Sacrifice
36: Cold Grounds
37: Wretched Vats
38: Thy Glory
39: Final Judgement
40: Panic

So all in all 10 additional levels which is really great.

Just run doom64 ex with the patched wad and the -warp 34 parameter. The launcher is limited to displaying 32 levels but -warp still works properly. Hopefully that saves some time for anyone trying to figure this out.
