I can't seem to stop texturing monster closets...

[digithead100]

I mean, I know nobody will seem them but it just feels wrong to leave them untextured. Sometimes I even try to align the textures properly. I'm not the only one who does this, right?

I like to texture monster closets unaccessable to player with shit & giggles-tier textures aka Wolf 3D Hitler portraits.

Not monster closets and I don't bother with alignment, but I do try and clean up any missing textures in control sectors.

While I don't see much point in aligning or picking textures nicely, not having HOMs when you idclip to try and see what's going on with a closet (whether you're the mapper, a tester or a curious player) seems like a no-brainer.

There's nothing inherently wrong with texturing a monster closet, even one that no one would see without cheating. It's similar to texturing the back of a surface that is in the body of the level, but that you can't see from the player's perspective (like the untextured panel in the computer alcove of E1M2). I usually apply a texture to monster closets, and usually given them a quick alignment, too.

I at the very least put textures on unseen areas sometimes very silly random choices 

 

Just cause I like to see zero errors in the map checker

I often "colour-code" the floor textures of monster closets to have them correspond to the area the monsters teleport to, to quickly be able to identify them.

my go to is grass for the floor, one of the messy bodies textures for the walls, and one of the computer consoles for the ceiling.

i just texture the closet with texture of the area nearest to it

You sick monster.

That's not a bad idea, particularly if you have all of your monster closets clumped in a distant area.
