@DoctorNurielAdded! Only two open slots left - MAP15 and MAP31!

@Sneezy McGlassFaceThanks, that will come in handy.

make sure to also rename the levels in dehacked so they show up when you look at the map

[janiform]

@Walter confettiLooking good! That's a clever solution to the lack of a brown slimefall.

@scientifikgeniusWill do!

[RED77]

is Map15 still available? If it's so, I want it.

Wait, you did that mud fall without custom textures? How does that work?

It's all made by 1-pixel wide scrolling walls, i used ASHWALL3 here.

Also MAPINFO. Dehacked has a character limit for map titles, Mapinfo lets you call it whatever.

[Lorcav]

Layout is done, buildings and geology, currently trying to balance monsters for map09 appropriateness...

 

 

Have worked in Deathmatch for the central area and created some generic co-op starts.

 

 

 

[Eon Toad]

Here's a rough draft of my map. Still need to add lighting and decoration, clean up some textures, hunt down where some rogue Doom 1 textures are hiding, and add multiplayer.

 

Map 13: Uptown

Trying something alternative to the usual 'depths of Hell' IoS level. As an extra challenge, I'm also limiting myself to seven textures and five flats. We'll see how it goes.

Adding some detail, map is almost 98% done.

@janiform first version:

Map Name:
Author: NeedHealth

Music: The Devils Riff by Crunchynut44

Difficulty Settings: Token.

 

No clue if the deathmatch only area works as it should.

 

-e1: please record a demo of some kind if you play this map.

 

-e2: to fix for next version:

soft lock infront of blue amour (flip linedef that lowers the lift).

move rad suits so that they are not behind the player.

 

e3 - old, see here for the latest version ->>> https://www.doomworld.com/forum/post/2653544

I will claim the remaining Map31 slot.

I like it, it's tough on health (especially if you don't see the rad suits) and ammo balance was likewise tight.

 

There's a soft lock area behind the lowering platform in front of the blue armour, I think the sector line is flipped the wrong way because you can lower the platform by pushing on the metal5 wall above it when it's elevated...

 

 

 

[NeedHealth]

@Lorcav Noted. Thanks for playing. I'll consider that error currently minor and hold back on any updates for awhile.

[Somniac]

More progress on MAP03:

 

 

Its pretty small but I tend to run out of patience and ideas with bigger maps. 

Edited January 22, 2023 by Somniac

[Sixty-nine]

i have the evil idea of a map full of archviles

 

can i take slot 15?

MAP09 Akuji Blood Pit

 

==Overview==

Difficulty: Implemented. Lower skills have fewer monsters, of easier types and more powerups and earlier weapons
Monsters: 66-107 

Playing time: ~12-15 minutes single segment

Co-op: 4 starts implemented and about 40 exclusive monsters

Deathmatch: Multiple starts placed in the main map, no separate arena
Music: Plutonia MIDI Pack project - MAP07 "Seasons of Insanity" by @Jimmy

The Pit: I kept the starting cross and blue armour and also included a milder version of that chaingunner ambush. Lost 150 imps/shotgunners but a similar level of pain elemental usage. 

==Mapper Notes==
As per one of my earlier posts, not quite got my eye in with techbases yet, so this is more outpost with blast doors in feeling, becoming more of an outdoors exploration excursion. I think i've been rigorous with the permitted textures.

 

Any feedback greatly appreciated on any aspect of this map.

@RED77Added!
@Bochnik Chleba Added!
@Sixty-nineSorry, but Red77 called it first. If someone unclaims their slot I can contact you if you'd like.

@scientifikgenius Will do!

@Thelokk That looks cool - it's like you're exploring the aftermath of the original MAP30 after the Icon of Sin explodes.

@Somniac It looks good! There's no reason MAP03 shouldn't be small. I've been replaying Doom 2 recently and finding it remarkable just how small most of the first episode maps are.

 

@Eon ToadAwesome! I look forward to testing it.
@NeedHealth Looks great! Just looking at the map view, you've really captured that clean American McGee style.

@Lorcav Nice use of the Wolf3d textures in a Doom context! I'm not sure if I'll have time to test these all today, but if not I should be able to sometime tomorrow.

[Asure]

@Lorcav Cacodemons are Doom 1 monsters.

 

Also:

Spoiler

Considering you used BFALL1 everywhere else, I think this wasn't intentional.

What a rookie error! I've fixed that and the other issue you noted.

Thanks for the feedback!

aw man (if someone unclaims their slot contact me because i'd like)

[RED77]

Ok. Here's the first version.

Author: RED77
Music: "Sage Fields" by dial-up
Tested: Dsda DOOM - complevel2

All skill levels + multiplayer and coop implemented. (multiplayer and Coop not texted)

Let me know what you think!

I have an idea. If collaborations on a map are allowed and you're interested in designing a multiplayer arena, I could give you the multiplayer part of mine.

[janiform]

@Eon Toad I had a lot of fun with this map! I especially like the big brutalist architecture in the final areas. The secrets are clever. I look forward to the next version.
@NeedHealth Beautiful McGee style map. The moody lighting and metal/wood/brick theme is really evocative. Very tricky secrets - I still haven't figured out how to get the blue armor. I think it might be worth toning down the easy difficulty - this is only MAP04!
@Lorcav This was a really fun map! I enjoyed the outdoor exploration and thought the natural scenery was rendered well. Difficulty was nicely balanced. Good use of Doom 2 textures, including the Wolf3D red brick!
@RED77Really cool map! The secrets and secret exit were well-designed, and I enjoyed the doomcute library stuff. The regular exit vista is a great touch, as is the oculus. Difficulty was well implemented.

 

In general, I didn't notice any visible forbidden textures anywhere, and everyone is doing great work using the Doom 2 textures and bestiary to its fullest.

 

@Eon Toad @Sixty-nineCollaborations are fine! My other idea was that we could do a sequel if enough people are interested - we could call it "Doom 2 Minus Doom 2".

Thanks, I had a few false starts, but once I got going it was a fun little project to work on.
