there appears to be something wrong with ASHWALL2 texture in the texture pack (causes HOM). this is how it looks in editor

 

 

 

 

but this is what it look like in game

 

 

I have the same problem using the crispy doom and chocorenderlimits port, it appears to happen only with ASHWALL2, the other ASHWALLx textures works perfectly as well... It must be a problem from the texture pack.

 

Also I congratulate with you 2 guys since you are really fast on making maps! Anyway, i've just finished to copy that layout I scribbled quite some time ago, misses the thing placement...

@xdarkmasterx played your map on UV, I liked it, I died many times in the dark room and I had just one rocket so I just ran into the yellowkey area bypassing the fight and then I returned afterwards before flipping the exit switch to finish the job, I also felt that the final fight is easily avoidable, I took the megasphere, (which I consider too much, having 200 points of armor at the end of a level for continuous play purposes) and then proceded to the exit without actually realising there were a pain elemental and revenants at the end, their closets seem to be far from the logical path the player would take.

I used some monster infighting but I think the ammo is ok, I'd put some rockets before the dark room though.

I enjoyed the map a lot anyway.

those monsters are just there so that you have something to fight when you backtrack, you can do the blue key doors in either order, and they will be harder to avoid for somebody who went the other way first anyway thanks for playing my map :)

 

EDIT: right i've decided to place an imp in front of the vent exit, so that you have to shoot him and trigger the other monsters behind the traps. also, some minor changes to level

Oh I see, it depends on the route you take, good idea to put something at the exit to delay the player, maybe some other monster would do it better, demons or a hellnight, also you can put some obstacle like a tall lowering sector you have to activate first inside the exit room so the exit switch is then revealed behing it. Just ideas.

Remind you anything?

(I know, vanilla, I know, the textures... but at least I have an excuse to replay DooM)

[NeedHealth]

The layout of the first area is almost done on my map15.

[HAK3180]

@ZeMystic, is SMGLASS a no then?

[DynamiteKaitorn]

So I basically had to think creatively about making a plasma themed map. This is my rough idea so far:

Over-view of the map so far.

 

B O X E S

 

ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY HEALTH BONUS.

 

 

Stacked computer textures weirdly looks good. Also, 4 cell charge packs. ;)

 

Sooo yeah. Plasma Lab is coming along some-what nicely.

 

just don't get boned.

Did you use a zero height sector in the middle of those textures? Just in case you don't get a tutti frutti in vanilla.

Great pics btw

[DynamiteKaitorn]

Yes. I did test the map and so far I can't find any Tutti-Frutti errors so it's all good to go for now. Juuust wanna clean things up before I post my first beta release.

Map06: Sulfuric Domains update

https://www.mediafire.com/file/i73vzbvdzdmk7t9/Sulfuric+domains01.wad

 

- narrow corridors behind the buildings in dark room widened to ease navigation.

- added a stimpack and a medikit at "critical points"

- specter ambush optimized, now a threat instead of a delay (some chain events in the teleport room)

- a texture alignment and that's all.

Posted some screens of my progress in this thread. Admittedly I couldn't really think of a way to incorporate the Weapons Manufacturing theme without putting a million weapons everywhere.

put million of bodies everywhere. they obviously gone mad and shot each other, because GUNS ARE EVIL HAHAHAHA UAC fired them and hired cheap demons instead.

i found out what is wrong with ASHWALL2: it was first entry into the pnames lump, causing missing texture. this version should work https://www.dropbox.com/s/bjd1l0id7visqav/Oops!AllTextures.wad?dl=0

 

hopefully i dind't break anything this is my first time modifying the pnames and texturex manually :p

Am I supposed to wall run from crates into the vent or is this just a really hard jump to the secret?

 

[DynamiteKaitorn]

Vent? The one in the storage room? No. It's just a bit of decoration.

I thought it was a secret too.

 

@DynamiteKaitorn I just played your level, it has some nice detail on it, visually pleasing, it was fun to play through, specially the part with all those revs, I also felt it was too short but I guess it is ok to have short maps too in a megawad.  Overall I enjoyed it.

EDIT: I ended the map with 436 cells, some cutting would be necessary for continuous play purposes.

@DynamiteKaitorn I liked the map, but certain parts felt amateurish. Especially the cyber demon fight which is extremely easy because you get an extremely large amount of cover right next to the poor guy, who's trapped in a closet until you finish him off. The revenant fight was also easy, but mostly since you can stun lock them in the doorway they're supposed to come out of. I feel like the fight would be way better if some of them teleported behind you or something.

[HAK3180]

I can agree with much of Egg Boy's thoughts above. You never need to use anything other than plasma, and that not conservatively at all.

 

Speaking of carrying ammo over, the original post says the maps should be beatable from pistol start. Are we supposed to care about continuous play? It seems not, as ZeMystic has not mentioned anything about what level slots can have what weapons, etc.

Without a guideline I made map06 without BFG and map09 with it, it seemed reasonable at least. I'm more worried about the "excess" of ammo and armor at the end of some levels.

That's the whole point of the map.

 

I'll be taking the advice to clean up the map, I have thought of a few good ideas recently so I'll add them. Let's just say the final room wont be so easy. ;)
