Added missing map link, d'oh

@Walter confetti I would love to play the map, but there seems to be no download link neither in your post nor in the OP.

[Walter confetti]

Whoops! Added now.

Fun and crazy. Not my cup of tea, but I respect the idea and execution :)

Spoiler

Maybe add a perimeter in the blood sea that blocks monsters. I had a couple of Cacodemons that hovered waaaaaaaaay the hell away from me and they took forever to come back. Or rather, I got impatient and went out to shoot them.

Cute and fun map. :)

 

I was going to record an FDA but forgot to set the recording flag in my launcher :\. I recorded a 2nd run anyway: 128kse4_2nd.lmp

 

Only major problem I had was that the linedef under the soulsphere that pops up the teleporter switch is way smaller than the soulsphere's hitbox, so it's very easy to accidentally grab the soulsphere without triggering it, which caused me to no-exit my FDA even after I killed everything since I had to check the editor to figure out how to progress. I did some test runs before that and got the switch to pop up sometimes, but I had no idea what was causing it until I checked because there's no clue that the soulsphere is related to the switch.

 

I think the rad suits should maybe be removed, since it makes it way too easy when you can just camp in the nukage and kill everything from outside. The first run I did, I didn't know about the suits so I stayed on the platform the whole time and rocketed everything, which was a lot more exciting. I also agree with Chris that the outside border needs some monster blocking linedefs because if a caco gets bounced away it's pretty much gone forever unless you chase it.

 

Also because of infinite height linedefs you can hit the teleporter switch immediately and exit the map in 4 seconds if you want: 128kse4-04.lmp Not sure if that's a problem for normal play unless someone does it by accident, but it's funny.

[Walter confetti]

Thanks for the feedback! I've added series to monster only passing teleport lines than put back any monsters that flew away from center arena, plus fixed some of the stuff BoxY found out and put some difficulty settings to the monsters, link is the same plus some new info.

[Roebloz]

Been a while since I've come here. What maps are done?

[Walter confetti]

Episode 1 is complete

Episode 2 miss 3 maps to be completed

Episode 3 and 4 miss 2 maps both to be completed

Hopefully everyone will be able to finish their maps before the deadline. It would be a shame not being able to make a full megawad after making the majority of maps.

[Walter confetti]

I hope this too, otherwise I'll compile what I got

[BoxY]

If people don't show up near the deadline, you could just open every remaining slot on a first come first served basis, that way if anyone out there wants to contribute on short notice the slot at least won't be wasted.

[Chris Hansen]

Agree with @BoxY. That could work. Or you reach out to those of us who already made a map and open up the spots for us. I'm busy with other things, but I will find the time to make another map if it will help us release a complete megawad. And I'm sure there are people who feel the same. But first, as Boxy said, opening up the spots for anyone willing to make a map is a good idea and should be tried first.

Perhaps a message should be sent to everyone who hasn't submitted their map yet? Give them a chance to say "still working" or "what kb challenge?"

Is what I thinking to do, actually... So are you still working on this? Otherwise, I'll free your slot. I'll move forward the final deadline of a week, too.

I have started making my map a long time ago, but the session week I am having now has hindered my efforts. I hope I will be able to finish my map before the deadline hits hard.

[ThatWeNGuy]

@Walter confetti

 

Freeing my slot, since I don't had enough time to finish my map.

[riderr3]

I wonder if the sequence of maps will be such that there will be 3 full episodes and 2-3 maps for E4. Or just leave empty slots at the end of each episode? How best to organize it, I myself do not have an exact answer, but I tend more towards the first. Unless, of course, the third option appears, when all the maps are ready.

[DukeOfDoom]

A teaser of my map; gotta finish my work on it later.

[Walter confetti]

All right, a episode 2 slot is free if anyone wants to do a map for! Remember that there's E2M8 not done yet afaik if you want to do a final boss map...

Obviously, I'll be waiting for all the maps to be completed, otherwise I'll leave some empty slots in the episode, I'll use the secret exit switch for skipping the missing maps

Yeah I got caught up with life and other projects that I wasn't really able to work on it. I would just free up the slot, I apologize for sitting on it for so long.

[Walter confetti]

All right! So there's a Episode 3 map open!

[maxresdefault]

Map name: Hellish Vacation
Map slot: E2M1
Music: Last Resort by Jimmy
Size: 128kb
Difficulty: Monsters only

This one is short and easy. I kinda got tired doing maps with complicated voodoo doll scripts, so I decided to do something simple.

Hellish Vacation.rar

[Danz]

Oh whoops, I totally forgot about this. Been wrapped up on other stuff. Sorry!

I'll definitely have time to do it and finish it this weekend.

[Walter confetti]

Good! And adding maxres map to the map rooster!

[Roebloz]

@Walter confettiCan I make another map even if my original 2 maps used 128kb in total already?

[Walter confetti]

Sure!
