Sacrifice what?

Detailing, mostly...

Empirically, I found that the map's file size depends greatly more on how much area the map uses than how much it's detailed.
I have a large map from 2018 that barely had any detail at all and I wanted to adapt it for this project. I started to cut it on lines, sectors, things, rooms... Its compressed size tied up on 109 KiB and never got less.
So I think we can just make something like 2048x2048 (or less) maps and make them detailed as hell and their uncomressed size isn't going to be more than like ~100 KB at all.

While looking in Slade I seem to remember that one of the most memory costly entries is the Blockmap. This falls in line with your analysis, as the bigger the map - the more hit detection it needs.

Hey, I remember this thread. Another update for map 19.

https://www.mediafire.com/file/o2xnnbw1tptd0t5/HitBoi-96KBMAP19.wad/file

- Deleted the song for some good reason, so IDGames might not take down this CP. 

Here's a quote of an older version (download link is now removed):

Sorry for the double post.

Map19 update (there are only two simple changes):

(download link deleted, check a newer version)

- Recreated level name graphic.
- Fixed the floor on the hell-like room.

Maybe add some decorations to the outdoors like candelabras, torches, red pillars?

You said, and I did.

https://www.mediafire.com/file/pukdgc8fjs1mzvp/HitBoi-96KBMAP19.wad/file

I also:
Added some decorations to the starting area and metal room (some hanging corpses and lights).
Locked the door leading to the metal room, can be opened with the yellow keycard.
Removed "CWILV18" lump, I should re-name my map.
Added some extra ammo pickups and monsters, also added some details to the outdoor area, and also a detail in the hell-like red room where the exit is located (the sky texture where the exit is located might be the SKY2 texture, which is intentional).

That submarine looks awesome! I'll add your map to the list!

I came up with a custom palette 8 days ago. + colormap from 32in24-15tex included.

I leave it here for your consideration to include it in the wad or not

[Walter confetti]

ok, also got some time to finally work by remaking the BMFG map more harder and better looking (i hope)....

We have 20 completed maps already so 12 left.

[Walter confetti]

almost finished my revamp of The BMFG spicy map in these days, missing only to extract the music file cause it breaks the file size limit (now is 100 kb), or even better use wadptr to compress to wad size, here's some pics for you:

 

Anyway, anything new from you guys over than the wads i've got?

[EpicTyphlosion]

Ah bawls, I forgot about this!

 

I should be able to get working on my map very soon, so don't worry.

[D1m3]

Started doing this for "Free Theme" episode, originally wanted to do "Entryway But Under 96kb" but possibly the original map size is much lower, so goal changed to "Entryway But With Higher Difficulty, More of Boom Features and Under 96kb"

[Walter confetti]

@SilverMiner, the last map you uploaded is a unfinished version of your second free theme map (variances etc.), instead of the one in the picture! Also, i have finally the more spicy version of Spicy Map: spicy map v2.zip More monsters, details and stuff are added from the first version, still a "bad" map, but i suppose every mapset needs it's The Chasm / Habitat. File size is 80 kb. Music lump is outside the map.

Wadptr works in a weird way taking the last wad in alphabetical order... (why?)

Updated the map (95,0 KiB) https://www.dropbox.com/s/fkmnvwem6c6dn7w/SilverMiner - Concerned Grey Wises comp.wad?dl=1

The corridors filled with monsters is more like Hell Revealed 2 thingy

Cool! Is your map inspired by the map title "Hell Keep" or just from the level itself? I'll add your map to the list anyway... Yesterday i started working for a "Thanks for playing" blocking map for the in name only theme, based upon "The Sky May Be" title...
