Hi

I have some questions on Congestion 1024 WAD.

Background Info if important:
========================
Running PRBoom 2.4.7 out-of-the-box, no additional options set (so if 
important, let me know) on WinXP Professional, SP2. The Congestion 1024 WAD 
is the latest (as far as I know):

1024.WAD Details:
===============
File details:        14/12/2005  20:32      11,469,954  1024.WAD
CRC32 string:    EE639A58
MD5 string:        61293AA5CCE1C8B679467CC280FA7B74

The questions I have are these:
===========================
Question 1:  MAP10 (Gothika 1024)
In the extreme North West (Top Left) are 7 monsters pens (shown with IDDT 
twice)
There are 6 sargents, 2 chaingunners off map in 2 monster pens that never 
teleport in.
What causes them to teleport in? Cant get 100% kills otherwise

Question 2:  MAP 13 (The Focus II)
In the extreme North East (Top Right) are 4 monsters pens (shown with IDDT 
twice)
The extreme top right 1 pen contains a trooper, shotgut dude,chaingunner + 
hellknight
What causes them to teleport in? Cant get 100% kills otherwise

Question 3:  MAP 20 (Claustrophobic Sting)
Set of monster pens offscreen, to North East (Top Right)
Leftmost pen holds a 1 spectre
What causes it to teleport in? Cant get 100% kills otherwise

Question 4:  MAP23 (Close Quarters)
How do I get the Berserk pack underneath Hitler portrait at the start?
It counts as a secret and it seems impossible to get.

/rant mode on

All these new WADs - why cant someone test them and make sure you can always 
get 100% kills, 100% secrets? Pointless otherwise. No point releasing it if 
you cant - as far as I am concerned it is unfinished otherwise.

I wish there was a Doom, Doom2, Heretic, Hexen etc project that cleaned up 
the classic Megawads, made sure they pass all the Node compilers, no bad 
linedefs, sidedefs, sectors, inaccessable secrets mistakes tolerated 
(possible exception Memento Mori where it was designed cooperative - 
therefore cooperative secrets possible). And create patch files that patch 
you  to the cleaned up version.

/rant mode off

Thanks
