(MAP01, vanilla compatible)

 

• A texture pack for you is here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/turw1mqx21wzdko/64ktexpack.wad/file (ASHWALL2 doesn't work for mysterious reasons i don't know)

 

Expand  

The reason ASHWALL2 doesn't work in the texture pack is because it is the first texture in TEXTURE1.
You need to put AASTINKY(or some other dummy texture) in that first slot instead.

@Walter confettiDas a lot more textures than what I was expecting. thanks for including the cookie textures lmao

The entirely of Gothic's PatchTex, to be specific! Too bad the multi-patched midtextures won't be vanilla-compatible.

[Swalzi]

I'd like to take a map slot for episode one for my next map which should be due tomorrow or even tonight.

I'm probably going to update my first map, "M" one last time. Going to fiddle with lowering the lighting sectors for the new sky in episode two and additional routing tests.

Yes, absolutely! Also, if somebody want to use a specific sky please let me know!

Ok cool thanks, I’d like to take an episode 3 slot for my map then

Ok, thanks!

EDIT: Fixed the texture patch by Alper002 suggestion, now works perfectly! Link to the pack is the same in OP

@Walter confetti I'll make a map for episode 2.

All right, go ahead!

I've got a secret map via PM that replace MAP11, the author doesn't want to share the link because it have a surprise

[Scypek2]

I'm getting close to completion of my custom enemy! But it left me with a bunch of leftover states (I replaced both the Keen and the SS) so I might end up making two custom enemies and one custom non-enemy thingy instead. In fact, I'm almost done with that too. Hope it'll come in handy.

[Uni]

Got the layout and theme all done now I need to start testing the hell out of it until I'll be satisfied with the gameplay, which is going to be hectic anyway. From what I've seen, most people are aiming at vanllia-compatibility but I think I'll end up with it being limit-removing. Is that a deal-breaker?

Well, that will make the project not compatible anymore. :-(
Btw, I'm finishing another map, will put the link soon!

[Aurelius]

Really interested in making a map for this, but I'm completely tied to Mapwich 2 for a little while longer. Hopefully there'll be open slots left when I'm done!

[Scypek2]

Maybe we can have one vanilla megawad and one limit-removing one! Unless I'm too optimistic about our mapmaking capabilities, but I don't think so. We have a lot of maps and it's only been a week!

 

In other news, WhackEd crashed on me (I guess it would be a good idea to update it now, it looks like I'm 10 updates and 7 crash fixes behind...) and destroyed literally all the stuff I already did. At least I documented everything I did in great detail in a text file, so if I was to do it all again, at least I wouldn't need to use my brain the second time around.

[Noiser]

Oh crap! WhackEd already crashed for me as well (a long time ago), but it worked after restarting the computer or messing with the .whacked files. My version was 1.2.0

I'll see what I can contribute, I think I do a episode 1 map.

[E.M.]

Since this is now a serious community project, can OP rename my map to "Doomy Bridge"?

Second vanilla map! Swalzi64-2.rar



Name: Water World
Music: "Water World" by Bobby Prince
Restriction: 64.0kb exactly. Not less than 64, unfortunately.
Skill settings: Yes
Episode preference: One
64ktexpack is required

Two evenings spent making this map. I didn't care too much about texture alignment. Really short to play and easy overall. Download archive includes 3 files: Swalzi64-2.wad(show I'm on the project limit), watrwrld.wad(Level with music and end level name text), watr64.imp(Showcase demo).

@Walter confetti Question: Can map file size be equal to or less than 64kb? Or must they be less than 64kb?

I ask this because I see a couple maps on the first page of the thread that are exactly 64kb. In your OP it says:

  Quote

The filesize of your wad must not exceed the 64 kylobites of file size.

Expand  

I'm assuming I might need to remove a linedef in my second map if that's the case to go below 64kb. I'm checking to make sure I meet the restrictions of the project. I probably have to update the map again anyways. Thanks!

A bunch of demos attached, and comments in spoiler.

Fun map, the music was an interesting choice and one that fit quite well! I liked the cage mini-maze. A bit plain looking, I see there’s 13MB left to play with so some of that could perhaps be used to add some more details to the map.

I didn't recognise this was a Boom map until it was too late, so my demo is up to the blue skull door, then I replayed on GZDoom. Your doors are a bit strange, very very large. However, I like what you did with the upper/lower texture split in the opening area. There were some texture misalignments, for example on the side of the stairs leading to the blue skull door. The shotgunner trap was lethal and nearly killed me lol. The five fake door ending was a bit strange.

This level was too grindy for my tastes. It really could have done with a berserk…after finishing I see the map indeed had a berserk pack as a secret, but I don’t think something as fundamental to the map as that should be hidden behind a secret. Also you have a floating stimpack in the area with the lone chaingunner. That aside I think the map looks pretty good, and I like what you did with the slightly open door and the corpses underneath.

Oof this one is pretty difficult. No demo as I don’t know how to get demos to also play the music wad as well as launch the map wad (and I can safely say D_RUNNIN doesn’t suit this map, the one you picked is much better!). Personally, I am not a fan of starts where a monster can see and attack you right away. Good use of lighting and nice variety of textures. The effect with the green flames was pretty nice. Some cases where you change texture but not floor height. Also a couple of texture misalignments by the imp cages. I personally might have made both keys mandatory, especially as you put the red key so close to the start.

My favourite so far, at least once I realized this was a bit beyond my capabilities on UV, and duly switched to HNTR. Only 6 less monsters, but the ones chosen to get rid of make all the difference. Great choice of MIDI. The arch vile on top of the teleporter didn’t really do anything, just moved around its small platform. Perhaps consider adding a secret? (part of why I say that is so it is 100% maxable on Crispy/Choc)

A little thing I whipped up in an evening: not too big, but decently vicious. Might be a good E2 fit.

I'm just saying... So far all maps works on vanilla, which I think it's pretty cool.

Yes, but if this will give you problems, I'll make it all vanilla compatible!

 

However, lots of really good stuff I see here!

I can't seem to get CRACKLE4 aligned on this texture pack, it's showing as a series of 64 unit wide blocks (even though my linedefs are longer than that). Was fine on the vanilla texture pack
