Ahoy me hearties, and welcome to the Nineteenth edition of the Pineapple Under the Sea Speedmapping Series! I ‘spect you’re all as hooked on mapping as I be, so come set sail with me on this ‘ere month’s adventure!

 

This month’s them be a veritable treasure trove: Pirate Doom by the incomparable Pirate King @Darch himself. Arrrr! Journey to a time of swashbuckling sectors and make unsafe the Caribbean linedefs. Imbibe some rum (mine’s already gone), batten down the hatches and come a-mapping!

 

This ‘ere project be open to all mappers: swabbies and admirals alike. Always wanted to remake yer fav’rite Pirate movies in Doom? Been dreamin’ of buildin’ yer own stories of conquest and scurvy? Perchance make an ArrrrPG? Have at it and let's float the boats of war!

 ~~ Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! ~~ 

 

Stick to the code!

 

 - Each of ye sailors gets 11 hours of mappin’ time.
 - DOOM 2 IWAD

 - GZDoom UDMF format.
 - A true pirate doesn’t jump, nor crouch! Them features will not be allowed aboard this project. Mouselook is optional, but maps need to be beatable without mouselook!!!.

 - Co-op starts and difficulty settings are mandatory. The time needed for balancing difficulty levels and adding co-op features does not count towards your maximum mapping time. Avoid softlocks on co-op: create teleporters so other players can enter a room after it’s closed, that sorta thing. ‘Cause a pirate’s life be better with me hearties!
 - Yer must make use of the resources provided, and only those provided! Link to resources. These resources have in their bowls a myriad of peculiar beasties. Be sure ye select the right Imp for the job from amongst the nigh ten possibilities, savvy? I wouldn’t want ter imagine the battlefield if ye placed the Multiplying Imp in an unsuitable arena, shiver me timbers! Also: use them special ones sparingly!

 - Your maps must be in oldish piraty style! Ships, pirate lairs, treasure caves: anything goes as long as it has that good old swashbuckler piraty feeling!

 - Maps are due either in the related discord channel or in this thread by Wednesday the 31st Wednesday the 30th of November at 11:59 PM PDT. (Deadline extended)

 

 

 - Yer mapping time can be nonconsecutive. Yer time will only go down when you are mapping or playtesting. - Speedmaps will be under the honor rule. Neither you nor I can prove if a map went over the time limit or not, but trained eyes can see what is and is not a speedmap. If you cheat, people will notice. Wouldn’t want to get a keelhauling now would ye, savvy?  

 - Any time in Slade used to give a custom sky, midi, etc. is outside of your mapping time.  

 - I would recommend spending some time looking over the texture pack before you begin mapping, so that you don’t waste time scrolling.  

 - Once your time is up, if you haven’t beaten your map, please spend time to verify that your level is beatable.

 - Bug fixing: any time after your 11 hour time limit has passed is for fixing bugs, not adding new areas to your map.- Your bug fixing phase should be spent balancing thing placement and fixing any potential gameplay errors, such as texture misalignment or soft locks. I’m generally okay with you sending me as many fixes as you make, as long as these fixes don’t overhaul any major sections of your map outside of culling/modifying monsters. You’re not supposed to be mapping after your time is up, you’re supposed to polish what you have. This time period is where I think you should add difficulty settings and add any fixes for co-op softlocks.

 - There is no cap to how many maps you can submit to this event.  

 - Any bug fixing/map changes are due to me 1 week after I upload the final playthrough video of the last submission.

 

For submissions, please post in this format:

Map Name: [ X ]
Captain: [ X ]
Diddy: [ Song + Author ]
Sky: [ X ]

Comments: Include here a short description of what your map is all about really. I'll (probably) be creating short map descriptions for each map for release at the end of the month, so this will help me.

I only need the .wad file of your map. Compiling your submission with the resources is unnecessary for this event.

Text by @BluePineapple72. Quartermaster's translation:

Hello everybody! Because a lot of people would love to make maps for this project but couldn't finish it this month, we are adding another month of mapping to this project in November. So if you want to make a map for this project, feel free to submit it until the end of November! In the mean time, be sure to keep an eye out for our September and October projects!

Here's my submission.

 

https://jakub-majewski.com/downloads/DoomEngineMods/JMPirate.wad

 

Map Name: Rum or Death
Captain: Jakub Majewski
Diddy: Soundtrack from the game Alone in the Dark 2
Sky: RSKY2B
Format: UDMF
Difficulty Settings: Implemented
Build Time Around 10 hours
Comments: This map is a partial recreation of the environments from the game Alone in the Dark 2, and is a kind of tribute to it. Should be relatively short and medium in difficulty. Coop spawns are included, but currently, the map contains portals, which means it won't work properly in Zandronum.

[myolden]

Map Name: The Prisoner
Captain: myolden
Diddy: Pirate Man's Stage from Rockman & Forte
Sky: STARSKY1 from Meks
Format: UDMF
Difficulty Settings: Barely
Build Time: 10 hours
Comments: Your pirate ship has been raided and your crew was taken prisoner! It's up to you as Captain to save them.

I just played through the four maps thusfar submitted and had a blast! Thank you @DeathBearOfDeath, @Jakub Majewski, @myolden and @CBM! I streamed the test on twitch: the video can be watched over here. Please have a look and change something about your map if applicable. 

    MAPPING IS STILL POSSIBLE UNTIL THE BEGINNING OF DECEMBER! SEND IN YER MAPS!    

[Jakub Majewski]

Thanks for playing my map on stream. The map was made in mind with the fact that your melee weapon by default is very powerful; so powerful in fact, I've seen a guy do a Tyson run of it. One of the secrets is accessed by using melee alt fire. I will consider adding some shading, combined with a new skybox that has a sun.

 

As for the intermission screen, I assumed that it would be swapped out during the compilation process, but you can keep it XD

[Jakub Majewski]

It would be a bit sad if the WAD only ended up with 4 maps, so I'm going to bump the thread to spread some more awareness and invite others to join in too. =)

[Peccatum Mihzamiz]

Ahoy me hearties! The official mapping deadline is planned for tomorrow. There are a few people that still need some more time for this project, so this is what we're going to do: let me know if you would like a mapping ticket into order to claim a future map slot to finish within the next 3-4 months. You have until the 8th of December to claim a spot.

 

 Right now we have five finished maps for this project, and at least four more are planned by various mappers. Hurrah!

Hi there! We are still waiting on a few maps and after that we'll go into the testing phase. I don't expect a release of this before April, to be honest.

[cwise103]

any updates

[Lightningoof]

download link?

[Peccatum Mihzamiz]

Hey there, thank you all for your interest! This project has been in development hell for over half a year now. We do plan on releasing this as soon as possible but for now have no idea when that will be. Might still be several months.

No sweat. Still got plenty of PUSS to play lol. It is the only one missing in my catalog from 1-25 (i know there's more past 25, to include the recent XXX [30], hah).

 

Take your time. I'll get the booty (treasure) eventually.

[cwise103]

Was this abandoned? 

[Peccatum Mihzamiz]

This was not abandoned. PUSS has just gone on hiatus in order to finish up unfinished projects such as this. We hope to have this out SoonTM, but it will still be quite a while probably.
