Doomworld Mega Project 2020 (Y2K edition)

I guess ill just have doomguy jump out of a hole at the start.

*peeks through door, wanders in*
Um... hello! Just dropping a finished map that I had worked on and off all year here. This is my first Doomworld Mega Project submission c: Some rocketjumping is required on -skill 4 and it contains a thousand foes!

There are no custom textures, though there is a DECORATE and MAPINFO; I also added the regular dog sounds in the WAD so they don't wreck your ears in GZDoom. Music is Zorasoft's remix of "Beware the Forest's Mushrooms" from Super Mario RPG, except I edited the MIDI so that it would loop better.

Have fun, and if there's anything worth hollering at me about, feel free to do so!

UPDATE: Some monsters were supposed to spawn in the BFG fight but didn't because of a script you activate earlier. That's that I get for not playing this map all the way through once! Sorry about that :/
Download (fixed fixed fixed)

Done needed fixes to my map, whoops!

I'm getting stuff done.

Looks really good, @MidnightMage! Really cool textures scheme!

Is this still going on? Been itching to get back into mapping and this seems like a good stepping off point.

Yeah, I'll put the maps in a pk3 at the end of the year and release it.

Alright, already have a good idea on what I want to do concerning the jumping mechanic and the setting, doing a quick outline now, looking forward to the end product :)

yeah 10 days is probably more than enough to make a map i think sign me in

ok late question but its 95% or so done, does it have to be fully compatible with zdoom 2.8.1 or just be playable with it? because it has a ton of hall of mirrors effects in software renderer

Well the project is designed for zdoom 2.8.1, so...

alright thanks! i found an easy fix for the thing i was having

so this is my first time submitting to any of these ever

here's a very extremely touched up old map i had, focused on ambushes (i guess?)

massive thanks to mattfright for helping a ton with testing and balancing

it's fully compatible with zdoom 2.8.1, jumping is necessary in some areas and crouching is recommended, it uses zdoom stuff to create some surreal visuals, and there's some easter eggs (you have to rocketjump upwards if you want 100% items on a certain area idk if thats worth mentioning)

Alright, I've done it! It's not the entirety of what I planned, but then again, the entirety of what I planned would only really be "one map" by technicality. The completed part is self-contained enough.

Name: Revolthater

Credits: Most graphics from TV's Revolution!, edited by me. Also featuring Freighthoppers by Jimmy (TVR Midi project), plasma shotgun from Realm 667 (edited by me) and a breaking glass texture based on Hacx sprites.

Here's a heavily scripted map that is rather long and will take at least half an hour to complete. To be honest, this map might have been more fun to make than it is to actually play, but oh well. Anyway, jumping is obviously required, but freelook and crouching are not required at all, although those actions are not disabled.

Difficulty settings are implemented. UV is probably unfair without foreknowledge, though, so HMP might be the best choice for a first playthrough.

There's a lot of resources included in this wad. All non-stock textures come from cc4-tex, and all DECORATE actors come from Realm667, although many of them are modified in some way. A lot of music was taken from the Doom iwad. See the CREDITS text lump inside the wad for more details.

Congratulations to all submitters, you've managed to surpass the map total from last year's project of 1! You should feel proud of yourselves and know that the Doomworld Mega Project thanks you for your service. I'll compile the submissions and post the final version in the next few days.

As for DMP2021, it'll be a return back to its roots, or at least what everyone else seems to think its roots are. Any map format, any resources, etc., with the only rule being something like "your map must feature a cave/mountain/rock section of any size", but I haven't decided yet.

Will you have a map in the set? Or will it only have the 5 that were submitted in the thread?

I can't believe I forgot to add the square gray room with two lamps to my level. It was ugly anyway, but still sad to see the pointless tradition die.

DMP2020v1.pk3 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yKwFQwxLyCamyZxWLerFvTkwQwGmqZri/view?usp=sharing

Here's v1, let me know if there are any problems. @Pegleg no map from me this year. @MidnightMage I think all previous DMPs had at least 32 maps (excluding last year's which wasn't open for submissions). But that's ok and we'll do it all over again this year.

Thanks for compiling, TimeOfDeath! It was a pleasure mapping for this :D I did find a couple unintended things I guess; MAP02 exits into itself instead of MAP03, and MAP03 I believe is supposed to have its music change back to normal after getting the soulsphere secret, but instead it changes to D_RUNNIN.

^{Oh, and also I never mentioned the name of my map but it isn't XYZZY2K; it's shown correctly in-game as "Shoe Shuffle: Fine Leapin'!" but I guess it doesn't really matter that the OP shows the former name.}

Thanks for the heads-up! Fixed map02 mapinfo, fixed map03 music script, changed Xyzzy01's map name in the OP and the txt file, and fixed the tiling INTERPIC. Let me know if there are any other problems.

Sure, I just uploaded it to idgames along with dmp2018 and dmp2019.

Looks and sounds interesting 

The txt file was in the pk3 and the pk3 was zipped. Also I wonder when it became mandatory to use the textfile generator.
