Oops! GREAT catch.

It was so hard to get away from genAI back then, and we hadn't yet had the proper discussions around the ethics and moderation of it. With everything that's come to light since, I no longer condone it whatsoever. Would much rather pay a great human artist I know and trust to do an amazing job. :)

I think you'll agree these pieces are such a vast improvement on the computerised guesswork that comprised the originals. There's both human passion and technical proficiency here in dashie's art that simply didn't come across in the genAI works. I feel a bit silly for buying into the hype!

I believe Earthless's UMAPINFO lump should work out of the box in DOOM + DOOM II. I'll do some stress tests before the final release.

I've heard this from a number of sources. Gonna have to check it out and see if there's a fix.

Once the fourth (and likely final) release candidate is out and on /idgames, yes. Won't be too long.

You mean, SOAD MIDIs? Yeah, those are absolutely out there on the internet. Don't know anyone personally who was transcribing them, though.

Hell yeah, sounds like a great idea. Keep me in the loop and throw me some details when you can!

Thank you for the heads-up though, I appreciate it. I submitted a report on the mod browser page for the unethical upload.
comment in response to post
That's absolute rat's asses - I specified like 2 days ago on a Doomworld post that the mod is not final and to wait for me to upload. Coincidence or no? Who are these people just crawling out of the woodwork to upload shit they didn't make?

Z1M10 (unused) - "RELIVE THE NiGHTMARE" Never-before-heard! A pastiche of musical ideas featured in Doom's 2nd episode, which went unused in the final release of KDiKDiZD due to the map it was meant for never reaching completion. #doom #music #midi www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkyK...
