GOOOOOOD... I CAN FEEEL YOUR HATRED! 

Phew! Another month down. This one was an absolute blast to work for. E4M2 is my favorite IWAD level, and I truly think that we have done it's tribute justice for this month's speedmap competition. I do wish that February wasn't the freak month with less days so that I could have more time to further polish this for a cleaner version 1, but there are always updates that I can shoot out. 
 

I hope you're ready for next month... A ruthless cabal of nefarious mercenary terrorist madmen are planning on only world domination. 

 

You only have 6 hours to stop them in...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~THY MAP CONSUMED~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Greetings and Salutations! Welcome to the sixth edition of The Pineapple Under the Sea Speedmapping series. Love is in the air this month, and you know what I love? E4M2 baby. That’s right, I have Perfect Admiration for Perfect Hatred. It is (arguably) the best IWAD level in the Ultimate Doom, and if you're a bold opinionated snob like me, the best level in the doom franchise. Legend has it that Perfect Hatred was created by John Romero in 6 hours, starting at midnight and finishing in 6 in the morning, making it the first speedmap created for doom.

 

Being that we are all mappers of high-taste, I think it’s reasonable that we speedmap to honor the progenitor of speedmaps itself.

 

- Your map must be completed in 6 hours maximum.

 

- Each map must, in some way resemble E4M2 of the Ultimate Doom in both gameplay and in visuals.

• Your resemblance can be as loose or as tight as you want. You are not beholden to making a wood base map.

 

- Your map must have TWO (or more) of the following:

• A Cyberdemon Turret guarding a secret BFG
• A hot start with a caco swarm
• A circular room with barons of hell on the perimeter.
• A rocky cavern beset with lost souls and spectres/pinkies
• A central platforming section connecting multiple areas.
• A dangerous damaging floor central to the whole map only escapable by running up damaging stairs to the start.
• DOOM 1 Monster Roster and No Super Shotgun
• A large secret area, accessed where the secret exit would have been.

 

Maps must be in Doom 2 Vanilla Format. Don’t beholden yourself to vanilla limits, we will map under limit-removing.

You read right. Doom 2. Although it has an entirely different sandbox, I think that the expanded roster of monsters will allow for more variety with the gameplay and structure of maps. As per the rules, you can limit yourself to using the DOOM 1 monsters/weapons as one of your two required gimmicks.

 

To spice things up, we will be using cc4.tex to make our maps look extra special.

 

Your wickedly maps will be due either to this thread or to my discord server by February 24th 11:59 EST! A date before the end of the month will see a wad compiled with each qualifying map ordered in chronology of submission.

 

Your mapping time can be nonconsecutive. Your timer will only go down when you are mapping, scripting or playtesting

Speedmaps will be under the honor rule. Neither you nor I can prove if a map went over the time limit or not, but one can kind of see what is and is not a speedmap. If you cheat, people will notice.

 

Any time in Slade used to give a custom sky, midi, etc. is outside of your mapping time.

I would recommend spending some time looking over the texture pack before you begin mapping, so that you don’t waste time scrolling.

My discord server, The Pineapple Under the Sea is your one stop shop for community events. While not mandatory for participating in this competition, joining the server will give you some quality time in hell beneath as you sever thee wickedly habits and join a growing community of mappers looking to have the most fun they can mapping.

Uh… Uh… They Will Repent… Against Thee Wickedly... Fear? There aren't any many positive things you can say with E4 names.

Why do you need two of them? {also i'm sure you cant have more than one hot start to a map.}

As per the rules, we're working in Vanilla format, not Boom. We aren't working with the vanilla limits however. Therefore you need not worry about visplane overflows and other such limitations. Could you change the map format to Doom 2 (doom) please?

Also, for the gimmicks, you choose 2 from the list. So for example, the gimmicks used could be a Cyberdemon Turret and a Hot Start OR a Cacoswarm and a Rocky Cavern. You need not use all of those gimmicks, it's just required that you use two of the given list I wrote out.

Map Name: Perfectly Cromulant Hatred

Author: myolden

Music: The track "Space Colony" from Gaiares, sequenced by Paul Edward Jensen

Sky: Default

Format: Doom 2

Difficulty Settings: All

Build Time: 6 hours

Gimmicks Used: Cyberdemon turret with BFG, hot start with caco swarm, circular room w/ barons of hell, rocky cavern with lost souls and pinkies (and more!), a central platforming section connecting multiple areas, and a damaging floor central to the whole map with damaging stairs to escape to the beginning. 

Comments: I had big plans for this map that I obviously didn't have time for. Needs a lot more detail and several areas got truncated pretty hard due to the time limit. I'm not great at Doom so difficulty balancing might be off. Also I accidentally started in Boom then switched to Doom 2, so hopefully nothing is broken. Visually it's a pretty loose resemblance, but gameplay-wise I used 6/8 gimmicks, so hopefully that makes up for it.

I just realized that my initial submission was NOT vanilla compatible. I made some edits so it should meet the requirements now. My apologies - I only took an additional 20 minutes or so to fix, I hope that doesn't disqualify me!

Fret not! Despite your map going over the time limit, I am thinking up of compromises to include your map in some way so that your good work doesn't go to waste.

[Scypek2]

If it's limit removing vanilla, can we still use CC4's custom switches and animations?

Certainly! I don’t see why not. To my knowledge you don’t need to use boom for those

[LordEntr0py]

Started The Hate Flow as a speedmap, but wasn't so happy with it, so I've decided to make it as a non-speedmap homage to Perfect Hatred. It's had 4 hours' work so far and I estimate it wants at least another 10. I'll credit this event as inspiration for it, but I'm not gonna assume it gets a look in for this collection.

Not the Boom map format. But custom switches and animated textures are a Boom feature, I don't know if there's any less advanced port that supports them.

I see. Our target port is PRBoom (knit removing) but we’re mapping in Doom 2 format. Since that’s the port we’re using, do you think there will be any issues?

[Scypek2]

Alright, if it's PRBoom then there should be no issue with that!

 

I'm almost done with my own map by the way, I have two hours left and I only need a few tweaks and playtesting.
