...holy shit. How even.

 

No, seriously, I have never had a textfile do that on me before. I'll submit an update.

 

Holy shit. Thanks for letting me know.

Ladies and gentlemen and everyone in between, we have made it! Thanks again to everyone who contributed.

Grats on the release! This is only Mayhem project I've ever played and it was a great one! Gothic-themed mayhem next year? Pretty please?

Congrats on the /idgames release! Will be sure to check this out soon enough.

Now would be a probably good time to ask, was MAYhem 2021 ever finished? I think there was a decent number of maps done but I don't ever recall seeing the download link for even a beta.

MAYhem 2021 was sadly never finished: a combination of IRL complications and difficulties with the resources resulted in lower turnout and it was decided that what we had wasn't fit for release. It's unfortunate, but sometimes these things happen.

Congrats on getting this released onto the idgames archives!

really enjoyed the wad so far in sp. I tried the wad in co op and noticed a few bugs: in map 14 the entryways to the central spiral staircase have an invisible wall and players cannot enter said staircase in order to progress. this skull door in the beginning room of map 19 wont open upon respawn by the player in co op. in map 8 players sometimes start the map at a inescapable fast conveyer belt spawn. typing kill in console unfortunately doesnt put the player in the correct spawn as well

I like level 14, Veteran's Entry, the best so far. Would love to play more like those. On to level 15 now. Thanks for everybody who helped make this map set.

Unfortunately there don't seem to be any permissions around in regards to Requiem, so I have to assume that the authors didn't want their work re-used: I'd have liked to incorporate more Requiem stuff into the resource pack, but I felt like it was more important to respect the wishes of the folks behind it. That being said though, if you come across any textures in a similar style that are free to use you're more than welcome to include them in your submission.

Heya, I am the original moderator of Requiem and TeamTNT.  I was 15 at the time of release and would work directly with the designers and musicians.  It did however, lack cohesion as it was rushed at the last minute, and finished without my final contributions.  I have been playing through some official Addons on the Bethesda remaster for consoles, as well as Quake, thinking how great it would be to have some modern portability for Requiem.  I'm in the process of trying to gather all the original source materials for the project.

Some shots of WIP level, main inspiration is Requiem's MAP06, 'nataS ot etubirT' along with other Requiem maps:

 

By the way, will be nice if next update of the resource wad (if any) include some Requiem textures, I miss some computer textures (specially the green version of COMPBLUE that MAP 06 uses a lot). Resource pack is very nice but there's a lot of quakish textures and not too much green or blue ones.

 

Cya!

It's awesome you found inspiration from it - I would also look at trying to do a full modern Requiem 2 in the future.

I know it's too late, but there is a game-breaking bug in MAP08: player can become stuck in monster closet sectors 253 etc. It happens because linedefs 1437 and 1441 are W1, not WR. Also, I think those linedefs are too close to walls, so the player can't actually run over them.

 

Another problem may be in MAP14: in GZdoom, it's impossible to climb onto the desk (sector 275) and run over red button. Well, it is possible if you use the small cubicle lift in front of the desk and then run on top of the wall. But that feels too... contrived to be intentional. Or is it?

It is.

If you made it that far in the map, you had to notice that there's a lot of puzzles going on, so using that lift to reach the button shouldn't feel like something out of place.

@telefrag c Apologies for how long it took to respond, but that's pretty wild! Be keen to see these contributions you mentioned if you still have them around.

The perfect megawad for morons like me :D

Grats on the release guys! It's been a blast so far.

Hi, I have a question regarding map14 where the red skull key switch is to activate the lift, I can't seem to find a way to take the lift back up from the crates. The only way I was able to get through it is by jumping or noclip. Is there another way to do it without jumping nor noclip? I couldn't find a switch and there was no way to hop from the crates to get over there no matter how I tried. It seems impossible to escape that room.

[Lingyan203]

Oops... Nevermind I already saw the answer in an earlier post. Sorry for the bump.

[Lingyan203]

Sorry for the bump again, is there a way to cross to get the yellow skull key? Every time I try to cross it I always fall into the lava. I saw a video here and at 1:25:10 the guy who was playing here was able to cross without falling into the lava. I have tried everything I could possibly do and I just have no idea how to do it. Any ideas on how to get the yellow skull key?
