[Community Project] (RELEASE) Jonathan's Arcade Mapping Project #2: Tropical Dynamite

[DoomTheRobot]

(TITLEPIC art by @Ayeloo)

 

A collaborative Doom 2 mapping project created by DoomTheRobot and various members of Jonathan's Arcade, a community Discord. Maps vary from complete newcomers to experienced, with map formats ranging from Boom to UDMF. Mappers had roughly 3-4 months to map while another couple of months was spent fixing bugs and other various issues.

 

Story:

 

After working your ass off for several years, you finally get enough PTO to get a month long vacation. Tired and wanting a getaway, you go to one the most exotic places in all of brazil: Jericoacoara Beach. Little did you know that once you got there, you spot a bunch of demons eating all the sand and hogging up the waves. Looks like they also managed to take control of several other exotic locations and paradises around the world thanks to the UAC making quick teleportation to said locations easily available to the demons. Well, guess it's time to crash this party.

Rules/Guidelines For Historical Reasons:

Spoiler

 

• Map must be made for Doom 2, and can be ANY format/complevel, as long as it's in the tropical theme.
  • Yes, that means Vanilla/Boom/UDMF, whatever!
  • No jumping and/or crouching though!
  • Tropical theme implies sandy beaches, cozy caves, vast jungles...
  • You can make it as easy or as hard as you want. Just don't make it impossible...
• You can include any custom resource (monsters, textures, etc,.) with your map...
  • ..As long as it doesn't replace any stock Doom 2 stuff.
  • And isn't an entire TC or whatever.
  • Oh, and no DeHacked either.
• Resource wad which has all the new textures and sprites can be found HERE.
  • Textures are selected from UDMX and 32-in-24-15.
  • New sprite replacements for several objects such as the torches that fit the theme (other stuff is currently a WIP)
  • There are also some ZDoom exclusive textures and objects if you wish to use those.
  • Some textures might be broken? I'm still going through the duplicates, so lemme know if anything is broken. Textures should be fixed now. But it's still not final, so expect updates.
  • If you're using a texture pack like OTEX, don't include it with your submission, just lemme know what texture pack you're using and I'll add it during compilation.
• Deadline is August 31st, 2022! When submitting your map please include...
  • Map Name
  • Difficulty Settings
  • Par Time
  • Source Port/Complevel
  • Music & Credit
  • If your map uses any MAP07 or custom boss triggers PLEASE let me know! I can fix it during compilation using UMAPINFO...
  • Not required but would be nice: Co-Op starts/DM Starts

 

All of the maps will be compiled into one wad ordered by complevel and then by difficulty, which then can be selected using a GZDoom UDMF Hub Map. Other ports like PrBoom can just start the game from MAP01 and continue from there.

Have fun!

You conviced me, im in. Not sure if i can give a map on august 31 through, but i will try.

Is there any discord server?

[Astro X]

When you spot that black and white pattern on the floor you're undoubtedly walking on Brazilian streets.

[Ayeloo]

To anyone Who feels like joining our server: https://discord.gg/xZd5MxK

We have channels specifically for discussing JAMP, so don't flood the rest of them pls

[Murdoch]

Nice creative theme.

 

[DoomTheRobot]

Apparently the resource wad's textures were just entirely broken somehow.. But I fixed it so it should be fine now, go ahead and redownload.

I also added a bunch of stuff/screenshots to the OP.

Oops. Yeah, sorry I forgot to include the Discord invite in the OP. It's there now.

Nobody is required to join the Discord to submit a map, but we encourage joining and chatting in the #jamp-discussion channel for active communication between JAMPers.

[General Roasterock]

Consider me in for this.

[Ayeloo]

UPDATE:

Posting a beta version of Map 07 here if anyone feels like recording a demo (please do, It really helps speed up balancing [Also I'm not sure how this behaves in Zdoom/Gzdoom, I've only tested in DSDA and PR]).

Resource wad is already attached but you can get a copy in our github :)
Here are some images too (Might be outdated):

Lookin good!

[DoomTheRobot]

Hey, everyone.

Just a quick reminder that the deadline to submit a map for this project is in about a week and a half. (the 31st of this month)

 

Anyone reading this that's currently working on a map (or is thinking about making one) for this should probably wrap it up soon.

Hello! Just popping in to say that if I could offer some custom music for some map, let me know ^^ I've been interested since a lot of time on making music in a mood/style like the one this project conveys.

[Ayeloo]

Making some changes

That sounds cool, do you have any tracks of yours you could show us? A decent ammount of people still don't have a midi for their map

[LPad]

Well, to show you some stuff here, I made a small compilation of random sections of music I've made over the years for different projects outside of doom mostly, and some other ideas I have developed. I tried to narrow it down to certain slightly playful rhythmic stuff (it's still 12 minutes of musical sections), but it can certainly be something different too. Just let me know what you need and I can work on it, or if you wanna ask anything you could ask me in pm too.

Oh wow, this stuff is really good, def notifying the rest of the group

Do you have a soundcloud or anything sort of like that? We're planning on wrapping up all the main mapping stuff by the 31st, so imo it'd be better for anyone interested to get some finished pieces, we don't wanna put any pressure on you

 

Can't speak for the other members or the project lead though

Brazilian Community Project when? :')

Funnily enough I originally pitched this project to be "Brazilian themed" but I had no idea what that'd look like.

For anyone wondering: Don't worry, the deadline is not a "mapset is done, release it immediately" deadline. I will definitely allow changes to be made to maps after said maps have been already submitted. You probably knew that already though but I wanted to reiterate that so there's no pressure at all, really.

 

I will most likely have to spend a week compiling everything and probably another week or two finishing the HUB map... 

 

If push comes to shove I can make an exception for maps with significant progress that just need a little bit more work after the deadline.

I don't really have a soundcloud at the moment. But I can work on it, it would be fun. Let me know if anything, so I could have some idea you'd like for the music or I could test the map and find out what could work. Or both. I think it'd be better if someone who wants some music would PM me, so we don't flood this post with questions or requests. I'm at your service guys

[DoomTheRobot]

Alright folks, we've officially hit past the deadline, so time is up for submitting your map if you had thought about making one.

Now it's time to compile it all up for a release.

 

Expect more news next week or two.

[DoomTheRobot]

Hey everyone, sorry for the wait. Hope y'all had a happy... uhh.. Halloween?

 

 

Regardless, JAMP2 is out now.

Fixed download link

[LadyMistDragon]

It's sure too bad this isn't a more GZDoom-friendly forum, huh? Although the three Boom-compatible maps work just fine in working as action showcases so I don't see too much of a problem (with the title cribbed from Sam Smith obviously being more atmospheric this time around). But the variety in mapping styles is present and ppreciated.  Also, cool soundtrack!

Link is broken. The correct one is on the OP, I guess.

Nice screenshots by the way.

Oops. Sorry, I had to do a quick update to the WAD because the /idgames upload was rejected due to unmodified id Software resources (thanks SLADE) being included.

Should be fixed now.

[DoomTheRobot]

Update: It's now (after being rejected last week oops) available on /idgames.
