Halloween Community Mapping Project!

[Korni27]

Have you ever mapped, but were too ashamed? or have you never mapped for doom, but wanted to try it out? or are you just bored and wanna do something?

@Terror_fed and I came up with a speed map "Community Chest" type project, in the spirit of Halloween.

How it works you may ask?

• You have till the 8th of November to submit a map YOU made (Inspirations and all are allowed, tho no stealing). 
• The Map is to be made in 8 hours, with 2 additional hours for tweaking and testing the map.

We cannot check the times for you of course, but where is the fun in cheating?

When you are done you just submit the map eighter here, on our discord server, or through our Email (halloweenmapsforhover@gmail.com).

Make sure the map is in the UDMF format. 

Plus, Use GZDoom as I'm not sure with the added features will work in other ports (Zandronum maybe)

If you want specific music to play during your map, please include it in the WAD, otherwise, it will not be used.

Any Notes or Additional info put into the WAD file itself.

If you have no experience in mapping, but still want to join in, Message me here, or on Discord (Korni27#1189) and I may be of assistance (and keep in mind that the time zones for me may differ, so I won't be available all the time). Hope you all are interested, and happy spooky time everybody.

 

Download the Halloween WAD we made here and have fun on the test map. Check out the monsters and the new weapon.

mate, put this thread in Wad and mod

and also provide info in the thread

 

this is just me but limit this to just UDMF only it's not really a good idea here, you should ask it in ZDoom forum instead, people are more familiar with UDMF there

@fraggle @esselfortium @Bridgeburner56 @Liberation @baja blast rd. Could one of you move this thread to Wads & Mods?

 

@Voidsoft
I second the request to add the rules for the project, as well as the Discord link to the thread itself. You'd get more participation that way, especially since the rules for the project are not just "make a map in 8 hours by October 31st" (which I thought was the only rule until watching the video). While the rules aren't too oppressive, it would still let people know more quickly, so they could make a decision whether to participate.

 

Also, I would suggest allowing people to post their maps here, too, instead of just e-mailing them to you or posting them on your Discord. It would also serve to bump the thread so that new people would see it.

 

And while I don't think there's a problem making a post in ZDoom forums, I don't think you need to just to get contributions. Go ahead and post there, too. The more the merrier (or scarier, because it's Halloween?), but there are plenty of people here that map in UDMF and I know for a fact that there are people here that speedmap in UDMF. So you could definitely get contributions to your Halloween speedmap community project from Doomworld.

Thanks for the feedback, first time doing something like that, so I'm thankful for any advice.
I'm gonna Edit this threat, as I'm not aware of any way to move my own thread or delete it and post it in to correct category, and hope the mods will move it, but still thank you very much.
