Title : CHASE.ZIP (chase.wad + chase.txt)
Author : Eric C. Reuter
Email Address : reu...@merck.com
Misc. Author Info : I'm SYSADMIN and SYSPGMR for supercomputing
with no time on my hands, but make time for
the most important thing: DOOM!
Description : Originally designed as a fairly simple WAD
with deathmatch in mind, gradually grew to
a fairly large level suitable for good one
player action. Basically, prepare to chase
and be chased in deathmatch mode, and run
like hell in UV single player mode. Have
included my favorite items from id's original
levels, namely teleporters, certain textures
and a few secrets with some attention to
lights and lighting. Hope you find it
enjoyable.
Additional Credits to : Geoff Allan for Doom Editor - The Real Thing
(de_260b2 and b4)
Walt Woerner - Concept for original layout
(also my steady deathmatch opponent)
id Software (of course)
Playtesters - Jim Purdon, Jennie Reuter
Billy Reuter, Walt Woerner (arrggghhh!)
Theresa Reuter - for not filing the divorce
papers.

This is due to the fact that you have the same linedef shared by two
sectors, but have set it's flag to impassible. This has the effect of
having a shoot-through wall. You can shoot through it, so can the
monsters, but you can't see the monsters and no ane can cross the line.
You will want to add an extra set of vertexes and create a "non-sector"
area between the two rooms. As in this example:
