[Remaster WIP] Newdoom Community Project

[Lupinzar]

I got the resource WAD. I ran through my map from the original WAD this morning, and there's definitely work to be done.

[Doom_Dude]

Very good. :D

 

I got some stuff done to Stphrz's map29 today.

 

I currently have 4 people left to find.

 

@Grunt (Steven Melenchuk)

@danimetal

@PumpkinSmasher (Wes Rath)

@DoomedAce

 

[edit] Updated DooMAD's before and after shot in the OP, that now shows the correct sky for Map20. Or just look at it here.

Man stuff really gets buried in this forum section. :P

 

Map07 Indentity Check.

[Lupinzar]

Put in a little bit of work yesterday. A little more challenging than I thought in some areas. Not sure what I was thinking exactly when I made this map.
 

[Doom_Dude]

Looking snazzy there Lupinzar.

[LadyMistDragon]

The design of this one definitely seemed strange. I thought it was kind of cool how the sewer hallways were connected, and there may have been some decent ambushes but that's about all I can remember.

(switched the blue and red keys around for thematic purposes)

[Doom_Dude]

Ahhh very nice DooMAD.

You mean map02, Wet Works? Yeah, it's kinda like two map pieces welded together in a way. After doing work on it, the map has grown on me more. I do like the sewer hallways as Mystic did a nice job with the textures and architecture, it just needs a bit more work. :D

[FrancisT218]

@Doom_DudeDid you get contact with stphrz? Though Map28 seemed like a fairly solid Erebus homage. Map19 (by danimetal) and Map29 (by DoomedAce) certainly are far from shabby, as well, even if they could use improvements. But I'd think in a most cautious scenario it would not hurt the project as a whole too badly if those maps ended up staying untouched. Map23 is really the only holdout that desperately does need changes, IMO...

[Doom_Dude]

@FrancisT218 Yes I talked to Stphrz on here a couple days ago. I got the go ahead to work on his map and mainly doing some aesthetic stuff with it.

 

I received another email address for Danimetal (gmail this time) and hopefully he will answer. I don't see much to do to his map for sure. It's certainly detailed enough and I'm sure the gameplay is fine. I haven't actually played it in a few years or more.

 

I'm still looking for and I said this in several posts previous these four...

 

Grunt (Steven Melenchuk)

danimetal

PumpkinSmasher (Wes Rath)

DoomedAce

 

Everybody else has been contacted.

I was talking about Darkwolf's map, but yes, that one was sort of a nice Map 02 take.

[Doom_Dude]

Oh duh, as soon as you said sewer hallways, it threw my brain into a loop. ;)

[Korozive]

I don't recall ever playing the original and a search on ID Games by Title turned up no results. Love to play it before you finish your revamp of it. Link? :o)

Ah, those were supposed to be conduit/duct type things. I've reworked one of those to be a dead-end now as the shortcut didn't really make sense in a level that's probably too small already.

 

I also deleted the blue carpet room entirely and replaced it. I tried sticking with the original ideas, but I was very unhappy with this original area. Some other updates and pack texture use as well. Now comes the balancing part, which always takes forever. Since there's a teleport in the level I might also play with making a new side area.

 

[Doom_Dude]

I like the new look of the map for sure. :)

[Doom_Dude]

iori's Map 11, The Ignorant. Including the modified candelabra I whipped up earlier.

 

 

[DooMAD]

There's a seam in that sky that's bugging me.  May as well fix that while we're tweaking stuff:

 

 

It's not perfect, but it's definitely less obvious.

[Doom_Dude]

That was kinda bugging me too, so I'm glad you fixed it.

[DooMAD]

The vanilla bookshelf textures in my library area looked a bit repetitive.  Made a few subtle variations with different books:

 

 

[Doom_Dude]

Nice. I will add those to the wad. :D

[SulfurOccult]

Awe, this reminds me of the good old days (and makes me feel old as hell).

[slayer's]

Oh I just saw that and really I love it so much it's possible to participate or is it too late ?

[Lupinzar]

I keep forgetting to mention this. It looks like the original exit door frame texture has an issue in the resource wad. Overwritten patch maybe?

[Doom_Dude]

Ahh I think I know what happened there. I'll have to investigate that.

[ChaoticReverie]

This looks awesome, I'll be keeping an eye on it for sure.

As far as mapping goes, it's only open to those who worked on the original. Thanks for asking tho.

 

Still haven't had contact with Grunt (Steven Melenchuk), danimetal, PumpkinSmasher (Wes Rath) or DoomedAce.

 

 

[DooMAD]

What's the contingency plan if we're unable to get hold of them?  Just include their original maps unaltered?

[Doom_Dude]

I dunno for sure. I fixed up the Grunt map, but I'm on the fence with including it. danimetal's doesn't need much of anything done to it. I haven't looked at the Doomedace map in ages, but it's probably fine I guess and the Pumpkimsmasher map could use some work.

 

Might have to start spamming the search on other boards and such.
