Vanilla style outdoors/forest levels?

[Lizardcommando]

Hey guys, can anyone suggest me any wads/megawads that have some decent looking vanilla style outdoor/forest levels? I'm trying to find some inspiration on a level I am working on.

Grove

1000 Lines 3 (the third episode)

MAP10 of Struggle - Antaresian Legacy

 

And if Boom-compatible is vanilla enough for you:

MAP07 of Lost Civilization

Avactor

[Dynamo]

The obvious choice is MAP10 of the old Biowar megawad. For a more recent effort, there is also MAP07 of Hellbound.

[Endless]

DBP03: Forest Swords

DBP22: Biotech is Godzilla

FOREST.WAD (the OG)

Operation: Biowar (mostly techbase with some forest backdrops)

 

New World (it's recommended to use ZDoom iirc)

 

If you're willing to try some UDMF, there's WMC03: Biophilia and Paradise

 

A very underrated theme and one that I highly enjoy. Sadly, I can see that due to the limitations of the engine, it requires a certain amount of skill to actually make it look and play good.

I don't know which WAD had this mapset, but it used in "Hide and Seek" multiplayer servers. And there was a Forest map in vanilla style.

Try Lost Civilization, its so good!!

Also has a cacoaward.

Doom 2 in Spain Only is vanilla compatible and map 25 is set in a forest of sorts. Also, the aptly named map 07 of Hellbound is set in some woods, all done with vanilla textures.

[Roofi]

Some shameless self-promotion. My map "Woodcraft" is vanilla compatible and has natural/forest outdoors.

I was working on this last year:

[Lime]

Freedoom 2's Map10 comes to mind

[Sena]

Map 44 from Doomworld Mega Project 2016

[Doomkid]

A big chunk of the maps in Rowdy Rudy 2 were jungle themed, most of them look excellent.

[OniriA]

Ghoul's Forest

[Faceman2000]

Syringe Map03 is an excellent vanilla jungle  map.

I've been asking myself the same question, and I've been coming up with some fun results. This is like a cottage-core postcard vibe, custom texture pack, designed for Heretic's pallete:
