Doom 2 In Song Only -[SUBMISSIONS CLOSED] A Community Experiment Megawad

[Johnny Cruelty]

The concept

Doom 2 In Song only is a project that aims to create doom maps based on the song titles used for doom 2 maps, for example, Map23 - Bye Bye American Pie could be based on a giant pie as a battlefield, or Map29 - Getting Too Tense should be something that may be TOO tense. The original deadline for this wad was August 1st, 2023, which was expanded. Submissions were closed in November 9th. Packing of the wad is under development.

 

Guidelines

Maps must be Boom (Doom2) format. -

All the maps should use the music the title is (for example map01 should use the midi D_RUNNIN).

All the maps should not be very short

You can map more than 1 map but each person participating in this project can only do two maps. This is for the sake of variety.

Anyone is welcome.

After some thought, can I take MAP01 as well as MAP07? If i can only pick one then I'll just pick MAP07 though.

Sounds good, I'll get started then. I'm going to make maps a bit on the shorter end, about 5-10 minutes since these are early on.

[Johnny Cruelty]

@Dub Bag also make sure to use the midi "facing the spider" for your map! I see you have not imputed it

yeah we're gonna change the music to the title of the level

for example map01 running from evil would use D_RUNNIN

[Snaxalotl]

Plutonia doesn't have new music, it reuses doom 1 and doom 2 tracks

yeah still the songs used in certain levels were used in certain levels in plutonia

for example at doom's gate was used in map17 in plutonia, and it will be used for map17 in doom 2 in song only

the reason is some doom 2 songs are reused in doom 2 like 3 times

this gives variety

[Nevander]

I'll take MAP10 and MAP26.

 

Question: are new textures allowed?

eh... didn't intend it, you can add it if you want but I'd like this to be a bit vanilla

still lets see how it goes

[Nevander]

I mean the ones I need would be in spirit of the concept for the WAD, and still vanilla format.

ah vanilla I suppose yeah

use vanilla doom 2 textures

well you can also use doom 1 textures I will allow those, infact reccomended (but you don't have to)

[Noiser]

Good idea! I would like to take At Doom's Gate

EDIT: Btw, the map should be vanilla or limit removing?

Limit removing I suppose

[Nevander]

Yea I'm a little confused on the music thing. Are we just using the names of the tracks as map ideas (map is directly based on the song title)? If so, there should be no Doom 1 songs? And using the same MIDI? If yes, then music should not be changed at all. Is this correct?

Welp, I was trying to make the starting room work in chocolate doom but this lightens the load I suppose haha

ok so here is some clear context

yes we are making maps based off music titles

the reason why some doom 1 map songs are here is because some of them were used in plutonia and are supposed to replace the doom 2 songs that were reused in later levels... because having three maps titled "Dave D Taylors Blues" is confusing

and yes you must use the midi of the map title

[DiR]

The maps I picked have the default Doom II music selection, so I shouldn't need to pack in the MIDI, right?
