this text took way too long to make

[DiR]

I'm interested in joining, are there any slots left?

[Walter confetti]

It's a free slot project, so... yeah, you can have one!

 

Btw, i have an announcement! 

I have upgraded the source port with a pair of fixes not present yet:

• Added crates floor for the new crate textures from Essel's edit of CC4-TEX (courtesy of @RastaManGames that founded it out), they are named CRATOP4-6
• Added a useful ALLBLACK\ALLBLAKF texture and floor for textures that have pitch black parts in it (like vehicle textures) or if you want to have a town in a nighttime\void settings
• Frankensprited the wolf SS marine replacement SSWE0 to have a pre-attack frame like the original one (i thought it existed on MEDB, but it wasn't), looks weird i known, but better than nothing.

Added more textures from Action Doom in the source wad, checked the permissions in the text file and it's ok to use in other projects, so i took out a pair of vehicle textures and few more city stuff, link is the same

I haven't started even thinking about this, sorry!

[Walter confetti]

I see... No worries!

Does the map have to be a 1:1 recreation of the real life location? I haven't been in the place I wanna recreate in years and I don't really have money to travel there atm lol, so I kinda want to recreate it based on vague memories and pics from Google....

[Walter confetti]

No, it's ok

[stochastic]

I'd love to join this! I'm a pretty new mapper and have only really worked with Boom, so it'll be cool to get my feet wet with vanilla.

[tewgytaylor]

Pencil me in for one of the slots. I'm very new but I think I actually have an idea for once. Love this theme by the way!

[Matt Eldrydge]

Sign me up, I've been meaning to do more outdoors-y maps so this will be an interesting challenge!

[stochastic]

Progress update. My map is based off a popular waterfall/nature preserve in my state.

 

Note: I've been testing with Crispy Doom - just wanted to take screenshots with GZDoom.

Beautiful looking!

[Matt Eldrydge]

Hey, small question: will the slots be decided later? I don't think I saw anything about slots in the original post.

Yes, they will be decided later, i think i'll sort them by difficulty

Thanks for confirming! I've started the first couple of rooms already, not super sure what the rest of the map will be like.

 

Screenies in the spoiler. These were taken with DSDA-Doom because it's what I default to when it comes to more vanilla stuff, I'll test the map with Crispy soon.

[Walter confetti]

Lovely place!

[tewgytaylor]

Quick Question, are we allowed to add custom skyboxes and/or sprites?

 

Edited October 6, 2023 by tewgytaylor

[Walter confetti]

Skyboxes: yes

Sprites: i'll preffer if you do in the DBP way (make a decoration texture out of the sprite you want to add, if is just a one frane) if possibile, otherwise you need to say what thing you replaced so people know what to do with their maps.

That's totally fine. That's what I was planning anyways

 

[Angry Saint]

I have started thinking about this. I may do the Miramare Castle.

[Walter confetti]

looks charming!

My apogolies, but unfortunately I'm stepping out of the project.
I thought I could make maps for two community projects, but I overestimated the amount of time I could spent on mapping. After some consideration, I decided to focus my efforts on at least finishing the Embryo map. Sorry!
Still looking forward to check out the release of Hell on World Tour.
