Arsinikk Posted June 23, 2022 (edited) So I went through and played all the maps that we currently have continuous (or mostly continuous) in Chocolate Doom. I have to say the megawad is really fun so far! Here are my overall thoughts/issues I found while playing the current beta in Chocolate Doom: @Frost-Core MAP04 - pretty minor nitpick, but I think it's weird to give the player the BFG this early in the megawad. I would change it out with another weapon since getting the BFG this early in the megawad pretty much makes all the early maps super easy. @dotQLL MAP05 - not a big deal, but you can see the plasma through the wall in Chocolate Doom. it's just how the vanilla engine works. To hide the sprites, there would have to be another sector in front of it. Spoiler @YMB MAP06 - exit sign has a tutti-frutti. Can easily be fixed by changing the exit texture offset from (56,15) to (56,0). I can do this for you, if you want. Spoiler @Pegleg MAP09 - I tried the new version of the map and it's really good! Thank for taking Luleta's and my comments into account. I overall think the map is better now! Thumbs up! @knifeworld MAP10 - you already know this but just showing all the beautiful tutti-fruttis. Spoiler @CblBOPOTKA MAP18 - extremely bad tutti-frutti. Result from using step1 midtexture with a negative vertical offset. I honestly couldn't find a solution except from removing the step4 midtexture altogether. Also two torches are too close to a sector that they float in the air. Spoiler @knifeworld MAP20 - lol more beautiful tutti-fruttis! Spoiler @gabirupee MAP29 - I like where this map is going, but I think it's a little too mean. I didn't seem to have enough ammo to deal with the cyberdemon and the archviles. I think adding a big cell where the BFG is, would fix the ammo situation. RedBoule MAP30 - I finally beat map30. The main problem was that I was too focused on getting 100% kills (which may be possible, but idk). If you ignore getting 100% kills the map is actually pretty fun, and the ending is very cathartic. Great job! Edited June 24, 2022 by Arsinikk 3 Share this post Link to post
Arsinikk Posted June 24, 2022 (edited) Everyone, I am posting an updated version of the beta:128L64T CP (Beta 1.3) This version includes a vanilla compat version of MAP14, and new versions of MAP09 and MAP29. Added Paf's MAP28 to Beta 1.3 + dehacked name + CWILV graphic. It also includes an embed DEHACKED lump based off the deh file @Luleta created. The embedded lump also includes a boom [STRINGS] section with the full names of the maps for source ports that support it. An external deh file is included for use only with Vanilla DOS Doom and Chocolate Doom. (Also some minor edits have been made the the deh file including: map01 is now "1: Mast Wave Hike", map13 is now "13: Berserk Opening", and by Codename_Delta's request for the meme: "15: Garden Gunfire") And now... I am setting some deadlines. IF YOU ARE STILL INTERESTED IN DOING A MAP FOR THE PROJECT, PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS THREAD BY JULY 1ST, else we will view your map as forfeit and consider your mapslot open to others. Maps still not finished: MAP03 - @NaZa (Still interested. Working on map.) MAP12 - @SilverMiner (Still interested. Working on map.) MAP16 - @Nikku4211 (Still interested. Working on map.) MAP17 - @PasokonDeacon MAP23 - @Large Cat (Still interested. Working on map.) MAP31 - @Nikku4211 (Still interested. Working on map.) If you are still interested in doing a map for this project, once you respond to the thread, you would have until JULY 15TH to finish your map. Edited June 30, 2022 by Arsinikk updated map03 to NaZa. 4 Share this post Link to post

It's possible it didn't include your latest update. Sorry bout that. 1 hour ago, Frost-Core said: EDIT : page is updated! also one reminder, try adding the dehacked file into the wad as a lump and naming it DEHACKED, it makes it so you don't need the patch, its in the wad Couple clarifications. I did add dehacked into the wad as a lump called DEHACKED. You still want to include a separate DEH file for Vanilla Doom, since it cannot read DEHACKED lumps. It is common practice to do this for vanilla megawads. The dehacked lump added the wad file is actually different and includes a boom [STRINGS] section to include the full names of the maps for Boom supported ports and like Crispy Doom. (If this section was in the external dehacked, it would be unreadable by the DOS dehacked patcher, that's why it's ONLY in the embedded dehacked lump) The only ports that need to use the external DEH file are Vanilla Doom and Chocolate Doom. Other ports do not need the DEH file. It's fine to load it, but it won't do anything, since it will just read the embedded DEHACKED lump.

CblBOPOTKA Posted June 24, 2022 Update for MAP18: Roots v1.1 - download changes: Spoiler - removed step1 midtex that breaks chocolate-doom renderer - torches are now static at their positions 2 Share this post Link to post
Arsinikk Posted June 24, 2022 (edited) Here's another update to the beta:128L64T CP (Beta 1.3.1) Includes updates/fixes for MAP05, MAP06 and MAP18! Apparently the tutti-frutti was so bad in MAP18, that it actually made Vanilla/Chocolate Doom crash when you tried to warp via arguments to the map! Also in case you missed it, there is now a MAP28 from Paf. Thanks to all the mappers updating their maps! Edited June 24, 2022 by Arsinikk 4 Share this post Link to post
