And here it is at long last!

 

It was really fun recreating MAP29, and it was a bit more challenging and fun due to the more intricate map design compared to E1M4 which I made for the previous project.

 

Great job to all involved!

It's like 3am, still glad I helped out. Sorry if my stuff is just kinda "bleh". Honestly forgot I helped here tbh. Still awesome to see though!

[lokbustam257]

woah, this the first time I go online here after a week offline and I immediately seeing this

 

Well, Congrats getting all of this done! And just make sure you upload this to idgames...

It's fun to see how we recreated the maps and tracks, great work on another one of these! Maybe one day we'll have on of these for Evilution and Plutonia as well, that could be quite interesting...

[ViolentBeetle]

I launched it on PrBoom+ 2.6 and I think not all is well with the map names on the automap.

MAP02 has name "Unnamed" and MAP03 has default name. Not yet sure what others are.

I haven't added automap names yet, only CWILV. All of them should be the normal name on the automap. Map02 is probably unnamed because of the umapinfo lump.

Yeah, that sounds likely.

[Origamyde]

Congrats on the release of D2TWWRI, everyone !

 

Let's hope we all get a kick out of these extremely well-remembered maps, beyond the eventual laughs and giggles we'll have thanks to inaccuracies 😄

 

Thank you @Engired for organizing this community project and offering yet another opportunity for people on Doomworld to shine 😉

[lokbustam257]

Automap comparison when @Engired ?

I'll sign up for MAP11 for Plutonia if that ever happens

[ViolentBeetle]

Found a bug: two lost souls stuck together in MAP05

 

Also it occured to me to record my playthrough, I started at MAP04 and ended at MAP05. Got chaingunned to death a lot.

Uploading video on Youtube now.

Tomorrow, I'll fix the names too then. The comparisons take a lot of time to do, and I ran out of time today.

[Syn]

Actually I don't think that's a bug @ViolentBeetle, that was probably intentional to stay true to the map. The original MAP05 actually has those two lost souls stuck as well!

Ackschutally it's one Lost Soul, but it's stuck in a wall and not in another Lost Soul in vanilla Doom 2. Map05 is a mess anyways so do not attempt to fix it.

[Kloki38]

Good job everyone !  

[ViolentBeetle]

As promised MAP04-05 (Sorry, it only occured to me to record after I finished the first 3)

 

 

Maps 6-8 went much more smoothly, but when I died on MAP09, I decided to call it a day.

I've already signed up to do TNT MAP22: Habitat. I'm also still interested in creating a new E4M4.

[ViolentBeetle]

And maps 06-08 + failed 09 run recording

 

[Shibainumaster]

This is gonna be a fine mess.

After this I'm going to go back to improving doom 1 from memory, so you could start e4m4 now. I am interested in replacing it.

[Dexiaz]

Congrats on release! This is awesome New Year gift ;)

[Somniac]

Congrats on getting this past the finish line! Glad I was able to contribute even if it's just one MIDI. Once I'm done with The Long Trek Back Home I'll be playing this for a double dose of Doom II reimagined. 

[CBM]

nice! just played the first few levels and somehow this is more enjoyable than doom 2 itself

[Mr Masker]

Sorry if this was intentional, but the secret where you fall down that hole in Map02 isn't marked as a secret, even though it ussually is in Doom 2.

Only if the mapmaker remembers it!

Falling down the hole is mandatory progression in my version. My memory of this area wasn't that great.

[ViolentBeetle]

MAP09 signle segment and failed MAP10

Original MAP10 was where I gave up on trying to beat original this way, let's see if I can push it through.

 

[deleted-account]

Playing a little bit so far.  All I have to say so far, you guys have an incredible memory!  Lot's of fun just like the original.
