Interception II is the direct sequel to the 2013 megawad, Interception.

 

Boom-compatible (played with the -complevel 9 command-line parameter set).

 

Interception II has 30 levels, mostly longer ones, that have about TNT: Evolution levels of difficulty, though it ramps up toward the end. If you like a long megawad, this is for you. It's also got some textures from CC4 and zoon-tex, as well as a new final boss for Map30. Level themes include void, gothic, techbase, and nature levels.

 

The wad has been tested on PrBoom+/GLBoom+, ZDoom/GZDoom/LZDoom, DOOM Retro, Eternity Engine, and Woof!. BOOM 2.02 also works, but MAP11 and MAP28 unfortunately exceed DOS integer size limitations.

THE STORY:

 

Edited September 15, 2020 by Moustachio
Updated the OP one last time to reorganize the links, and revise the credits.

[Nine Inch Heels]

I'm interested in making a map for this, and I'd like to use cc4-tex as a texture resource. Also, I'd like the slot 32 ;-)

[Moustachio]

@Nine Inch Heels Oh dear lord I can only imagine a fraction of what's in store... Ah, what the heck, what's the worst that could happen?

[Catpho]

Boom format? Color me interested! Cant make any promises tho :P

Didnt expect this, but good luck! Makes me want to finish my current interception playthrough ;)

[Misty]

Sounds like interesting plot. I'll take map03 if you don't mind. I don't know about textures, maybe I'll use zoon and cc4-tex mix. For skies, you can check mechadon and eradrop sky collections, they have impressive stuff.

[cannonball]

Awesome, well I will certainly express interest in making a map. I am happy to go with whatever texture resource you choose or make. I will probably go for an episode 3 slot, though i might hold back on a specific slot given most mappers will have different ideas on the level of difficulty they want to implement.

Edited April 28, 2018 by cannonball

[Moustachio]

@Myst.Haruko Looks like CC4 will be a popular choice. I'll definitely use the pack as a base then. I'm pulling some stuff from the Mayhem 2014 texture pack myself. And I'll be sure to check those sky collections out!

 

And to everyone else who's interested and waiting on the texture packs: No rush! There's no real time constraint on the wad. However, when all the map slots are called, that's it. Unless, someone were to give up their slot, no one can join after the map list is full.

[Big Ol Billy]

I'm interested! Looks like an impressive line-up so far. I kinda want to wait until I see the texture pack to pick a slot, though. Will there be mandatory episode skies? Seems like E2's planet-hopping theme would lend itself to sky transfers so that each "planet" has its own sky.

[Jimmy]

That titlepic needs some help.

 

Also, uh, I guess I could be persuaded to write some MIDIs for this if needed.

[Roofi]

Cool , I'm interested for making a map. :)

Haha, I just threw SOMEthing together. Hence why there's still a call for a proper TITLEPIC in the OP.

I was thinking a sky with a lot of planets in the background would do the trick, but sky transfers would be really cool to play with. In that instance, we'd need a lot more than three skies.

[bioshockfan90]

i'll take map06

[cannonball]

For the sake of marking my name, I will take the map25 slot.

[dobu gabu maru]

Cool! Good luck on this to all the participants.

 

Any reason you decided to make this one Boom compatible Moustachio? Less restrictive?

[AD_79]

hi, map02 please

[NuclearPotato]

I'll throw my hat in for an E2 slot or two, depending on how quickly the other slots fill up and how smoothly making the first map goes.

[an_mutt]

I spot an open Map 15 slot, and I can't not claim it.

[Walter confetti]

Played a little of the first interception, it looked pretty cool!

Good luck to all participants!

[Malrionn]

I'm interested to make a map for this project. I will make only one map but I don't know yet if I take a Episode 2 slot or Episode 3 slot as I have ideas for two kinds of maps. I will see how the slots are fill up and then choose a definitive slot.

[DMPhobos]

Im interested, i could give it a shot at one of the early map spots

[grrfield]

clap hands

 

[riderr3]

Added to bookmarks, just in case...

P.S. So when is deadline?

[AD_79]

Whenever it's done, I'd imagine. There's very little point in enforcing some arbitrary deadline, especially at such an early stage in development. When it's mostly finished, then I could maybe see one being implemented.

[DFF]

@The Mysterious Moustachio

I'd Love to Contribute, i'll take either map11 or map31. My only question is for the 1st section theme, for alternate reality are we taking abstract weird design (void-like)?

and can the secret maps be kinda any theme?

 

In fact if there's no deadline as of yet, i wouldn't mind taking both, with lvl 31 being probably my first task then lvl 11.

Edited April 28, 2018 by DerFurer'sFace

[AD_79]

Slow down a bit there. May I suggest instead that you pick up one of the two, at least for now, and put all of your focus into that one mapslot? Once that's done, you could then think about grabbing another.

[DFF]

I mean I've got ideas for both, but if i have to pick one for now (might be better to let other's join in too) I can take just map11 then.

[NaZa]

Ah, dammit. I have to participate in these more often; MAP19.

[Big Ol Billy]

I'll claim Map10 for now to have a spot. I like "parallel universe" concept and have a couple of ideas that might work.

[General Rainbow Bacon]

Hey, the others I'll do will be map 18 and 10

 

[Malrionn]

Ok, I go for Episode 2 and I claim MAP17.
