2 ENEMY COMMUNITY PROJECT [DEVELOPMENT THREAD]

[RedBoule]

I'm unfortunately going to have to drop out of this cp, gl to all the mappers!

[Philnemba]

Hopefully if I have enough time today, I should be done with my map before I go to work tonight as all I need to do is add thing placement, a few minor detailing and a couple of secrets :)

Looks interesting. Ping me when your done and I'll play it!

Unfortunately, I won't be able to submit and I'll have to drop out. The idea seems sound, but I can't focus enough to give it justice.

PSA: Please playtest your maps before submitting them; this map is unbeatable as you can't escape from the red key area without noclip because the linedefs on the lift are WR, not SR, and are also pointing in the wrong direction.

The computer area (and the map in general) feels... barren to me. It's like it was designed as a huge slaughter map with hundreds of enemies, but then only 59 were added. Also missed opportunity to, after the collection of all 3 keys, start a huge fight in the starting area with a large amount of monsters teleporting in.

 

1)The soulsphere secret isn't marked;
2) Textures on some stairs are aligned and on some aren't: 

3) The teleporter in the image above serves no purpose. What is it even doing there?
4) The automap text isn't aligned properly (some letters are taller than others), and that really bothers me.

5) During the invisible floor in the computer area lowering, there was an HOM.

Hey @epicyolomaster420 come have a crack at it :)

 

Also this map is TOTALLY not inspired by the Backrooms :P

If this map is supposed to be set in a twisted, broken reality, then you have succeeded. On the issues side, the initial teleporter teleports you into a wall, and this door is cursed (surrounded by doortrak and it's ceiling should be changed to CRATOP2) 

Also, points for trying to hide this secret, but you still forgot 1 linedef.

Also, this map contains SW2 switches :(

 

Oh, and initially thought that 2-sided linedefs with non see-through middle textures was a bug, however, when i checked, it turned out that the transparency percentage was set to the "translucency filter percentage", and i had that set to 100 to avoid projectiles being translucent which annoyed me.

this was a pretty stupid oversight, sorry, I was kinda tired while working on the map (and btw, SR and WR thing happened for 4 times)

Arachnotron was quite a big size, and fire rapid projectiles that wouldn't stop until you take cover, having like 4 of those guys in an indoor room was bit too much for me to imagine, so I doubled the size of the rooms. I might put that horde of monsters teleport at the end of the level in the future version of the map, that sounds interesting.

I'm quite bad writing stuff on automap, the "S" letter REALLY get me. I don't really put too much effort making these look pretty beacuse they're just fun hahas easter eggs to look when you go IDDT, and I'm pretty sure 98% of people playing wouldn't really care.

You put textures inside, you see the textures through, and you put textures outside it covers up the wall, so I really don't know what to do. If there are some solution to this, then please tell me.

 

Anyway, appreciated for the feedback!

The map now can be finished without IDCLIP or IDSPISPOPD! (i think?)

 

Changelog:

-Added SR instead of WR on the elevator in the red key room 

-Difficulty balancing (kinda, that is if you count toggling monsters' difficulty options a "Difficulty balancing")

-Some more enemy and ammo added on the blue key room, nothing big

-Expose more cover in the yellow key room

-Soulsphere secret is now marked

@ONETAPPYBOI Can you be a bit more precise on which teleporter you're talking about as I'm 100% sure all silent teleports should teleport fine after extensive testing primarily on DSDA Doom. Also if I hide that one linedef then it's really gonna be an obvious secret via automap :P

 

Thanks for pointing out about the 3 key door and accidently using SW2 switch textures which was an oversight on my end.

You can leave a small gap so that the wall doesn't actually border the secret sector, kind of like i did in my map.

 

Also, here's how to get yourself stuck in a wall: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1D9ooFnztyd69pk4LJOn4z_LMkI58Yk6p/view?usp=sharing

Changelog:

 

- Fixed the first silent teleporter that would get you stuck in a wall if walking towards it instead of running 

- Change the ceiling texture of the 3 key card door to CRATOP2 to be less "cursed"

- Change all of the Grey SW2 switch textures to Grey SW1 

- The Soulsphere secret is now hidden from the automap 

 

Thanks @ONETAPPYBOI for precisely pointing out about the first silent teleporter issue 😈👍

This is a nice trick and something I've incorporated into two of the secrets in my map. New version: mindless_v4.zip

 

Just a reminder that if we wanted this out for the 1 Monster anniversary as I've seen suggested, we have only a week left.

Hey @epicyolomaster420 come have a crack at it :)

 

Also this map is TOTALLY not inspired by the Backrooms :P

So I played the map (sorry it took this long - I have quite a hectic week behind me) and I have to say I liked it though that goes for some parts more than others. The part I liked the most was the blue lights room where you get the chaingun and blue key but the one I didn't like was the green slime cacodemon area with the impasable square sectors in the middle of the rooms (which are just annoying) where you get the red key (there are too many caco's and too little ammo and space to move around. Also if you leave the room mid fight - which I did twice to try and get more health & ammo, then it's very hard to re-enter it without cheating as the caco's all end up congregating around the entrance by that point). Also SW2 switches...

But again overall this was a nice map and I enjoyed it!

It was on the 14th, but edits are open until the 20th

[ONETAPPYBOI]

The megawad should be finished - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_y1ScdVftPw8VEM9ETcmGB2VV-d7DXov/view?usp=sharing. So far i have simply edited the UMAPINFO to skip over the non-existant maps. I'm particularly interested in MAP18 since i have made small edits to make it beatable, but i would like to know if there are any bugs in general. 

 

I will start the single-segment playthrough tomorrow.
