Slaughterskeets don't spawn above forcefield/door in E1M1b in Linux build

On the current Linux 64-bit build, the ambush in e1m1b where the lasers destroy the bridge doesn’t spawn the two columns of slaughterskeets that fly out from the overhead doors. I tested this in both normal and hard difficulties. I still need to test the current 32-bit Linux build.

Looking in e1m1b.map, there are no standard monster_slaughterskeet spawns in the small attic-like area that opens, nor any target_monster_spawns. They are spawned via an AI script instead.

There are 12 trigger_scripts there that are called by a func_event_generator at different timings. The 10 script names for the missing slaughterskeets are “skeet1exit” thru “skeet5exit” and “skeet1path” thru “skeet5path“. There are also two trigger_scripts for the thunderskeet that spawns over the roof, calling scripts named “thunderspawn” and “thunderpath”. These also don’t appear to be working, as the thunderskeet (spawned via a target_monster_spawn) just stays in place instead of flying out over the platform where the player is.

I found all but one these scripts in pak1.pak->cin/aiscripts/e1m1b.sca. The “skeet1exit” thru “skeet5exit” scripts have commands to spawn skeets at specified coordinates. The “thunderspawn” script is missing, as it appears to have been replaced by the target_monster_spawn.

EDIT: I just tested the current 32-bit Linux build as well, and the same problem exists.

Also, I tested e1m3 and e1m4 where there are AI scripts that animate the workers to make them sit and type. etc. and those appear to be working OK.
