The 128 kb mapping extragavanza "challenge"*

[The BMFG]

but im currently making a e1m9 map rn

[magicsofa]

Wouldn't it be best to make a new thread? It's kinda confusing to have 16 pages of conversation about the first round still there

[Walter confetti]

All right, so is better that I start a new thread?

May I reserve Map15 slot?

[Walter confetti]

What a funny title, i'll check it out this evening!

 

Anyway, i've cleaned the OP, making this part of the challenge complete! The final one will start with another thread, i'll copypasta it from there to the new one and also change the filesize from 128 kb to 96 kb, or even get rid off the file size limit... but the then is not a challenge anymore i guess lol.

Sure.

[SilverMiner]

96? I thought about 192

[Walter confetti]

192 is not a challenge anymore, c'mon! Anyway, opened up the new challenge thread:

Fun map, even if a little empty and amateurish... Don't you mind if I made some smallish edits and use it in the 96 kb challenge? It will go on the starving resource section... You're ok with that?

 

Anyway, yesterday I was compiling the 128 kb challenge megawad adding the missing things like the TITLEPIC and a UMAPINFO, probably for this afternoon / evening a final release for idgames will be ready, if there's not major bugs...

Exciting, maybe DWMC will play our WAD at some time (even if I contributed only one map). A man can dream!

[Walter confetti]

Maybe

yes perfectly fine with it

[Walter confetti]

All right then! Also, we've got the idgames candidate release:

Hope everything works fine here! I tried to do the UMAPINFO but it crashes on prboom + for some reasons, did you know how to do it in a good way?

[magicsofa]

Yay!

Seems pretty straightforward to me... maybe you just have a typo or something?

EDIT: First note on the .zip... it's confusing to have one called 128k_ud.wad and one called 128kb_ud.deh. They should be the same!

However, I think Prboom+ reads the dehacked inside the wad and so there's no need at at all for most players to care about typing -deh in their batch file that runs the mod. But for Boom players I can't remember had it parsed internal dehacked or not

Edited January 20, 2021 by SilverMiner

[Walter confetti]

Other sources like legacy (if there's people that use it) don't read internal Dehacked lumps

[EffinghamHuffnagel]

HUSTR_E4M3 entry is missing from Dehacked. Both inside the wad and the deh.

lol BRO... take a deep breath. We're not going anywhere. Megawad = months of work, at least.

[Walter confetti]

• Added titlepic screen
• Changed some of the music lumps for been heard in boom-compatible ports, with the exepction of E4M1, E4M2 and E4M9

[Iacobus]

@Walter confetti you forgot to swap the map tittles for the intermission screen on E4M5 and E4M7

(Edit: the strings in the DEHACKED aswell)

Edited January 30, 2021 by Iacobus

[Walter confetti]

Oops! I'll see to fix them!

[Walter confetti]

It's on idgames!

Grats on the release and I just want to say it was a real joy being able to contribute to this when I was just starting to dip my toe into mapping. Thanks to everyone who offered demos, feedback and support when I needed them and to everyone who made really kick ass maps.

[SilverMiner]

Yeah, I liked contributing to this project and I like the fact that it got released unlike other ones to which I've ever contributed: some of them are either dead or heavily stagnated (never seen a thing like TNT2 in terms of very long delays but still)
