Doomworld Maximum Project 2021 - On IdGames!

[Obsidian]

WELCOME TO THE DOOMWORLD MAXIMUM PROJECT 2021!

 

Description

 

The premise is simple: this project seeks to get submissions from as many mappers as possible, regardless of status or proficiency. Whether you're just starting out on your journey or an old hand at this mapping lark, we want you! We take all comers and any maps submitted will receive feedback from myself or some of the other mappers participating.

 

Rules

 

• One map submission per person.
• Map must be playable in singleplayer and be for the Doom 2 IWAD.
• You can map for any format or compatibility mode. When submitting your map, please specify what format the map is for.
• PLEASE test your maps in the format you made them for: check for things like doors and lifts not having the appropriate tags, as some source ports like ZDoom fix those ingame and can fool you into thinking that they work fine when they don't.
• No DeHackEd content, but other custom content is allowed: this includes textures, music, DECORATE, whatever you can think of as long as it doesn't replace other Doom 2 resources.
• Credit your content sources!
• If you're using a few custom textures, make sure that they're all named with a 3-letter prefix of your username: something like OBS_****, for example. If you're using an entire pack (OTEX, CC4tex, etc), let me know which one and I'll ferret out the textures used once compiling rolls around.
• No reserving MAP07 or MAP30 slots.
• No using the secret exit actions.
• All submissions are welcome: small maps, big maps, slaughter maps, joke maps, anything that isn't purposefully abusive is allowed and encouraged. Go nuts!
• The deadline is midnight on the 1st of January, 2022 in Yankee Time (the last possible place for it to be 2021): here's a handy countdown.
• And most importantly, enjoy yourself!

 

3-2-1-GO!

Sign me up. I always wanted to participate in one of these projects.

[akolai]

I was looking for a reason to start working on a new map. Count me in.

[DRM-MAN]

I have a question, if i make a map that is for an example, map12, but someone else uploads a map12 before me, would i have to change the map number, or would you during the process of making the megawad?

The format of DMP21 isn't based on the traditional megawad structure, so you don't need to worry about mapslots. Generally the maps are grouped by the source port required for them and are reached via a hubmap at the start.

Ah, so is it going to be a bunch of wads in a zip file, or just a list of maps that people can download?.

It'll all be a single wad with any luck. ZDoom-adjacent ports will be able to access all the maps from the getgo via the hubmap and non-ZDoom ports will have the maps sorted into groups in the mapslot progression: vanilla first, then limit removing, then Boom and so on. Hopefully his makes things a little more clear.

[DRM-MAN]

Okay, currently i have one gzdoom compatible map in the works, im using ultimate doombuilder's latest version, and the latest gzdoom version, the map is in gzdoom: doom 2(umdf format), so i look forward to this.

[Austinado]

This is very tempting...

Do it, Austin!

[Austinado]

@Biodegradable i might ;)

[Pegleg]

@Obsidian

Sign me up.

 

I'm sure I can find the time in the next 11 months to make a map, although I remember saying that in 2018 and finished my map for the Doomworld Omega Project on December 29th and my map for Doomworld Mega Project on December 31st.

 

And to add to the fun, whenever ToD posts the Doomworld Mega Project 2021 thread, there will be 2 DMP's for 2021. 

[DoomTheRobot]

Oh yeah, totally joining in on this. That's a LOT of time before the deadline, which puts me at ease.

[Arbys550]

I'd like to sign up. I'll be using OTEX for my map.
