[Community Project] - Wolfhound

[Catfoolyou]

 

Hello, long time lurker here. I have always wanted to make a Doom wad, but was never able to make any maps good enough to publish.

So seeing the amount of ongoing projects here, I have decided to ask you all for help.

 

This project is for The Ultimate Doom, though textures from Doom 2 will be available for mappers inside the wad (just like Freedoom).

I will add any and all custom textures upon mappers' requests. Maps should be Vanilla or Limit Removing, though I encourage you to make use of things like self-referencing sector and spechits overflows where needed to achieve the desirable effect. 

Each episode contains 9 maps, with a total of 36 maps over 4 episodes. Maps should be of a techbase theme or of some variation of it, as each episode progresses through some sort of human or alien-built installation. Please make sure that maps reflect their name in some way or other.

 

Look below to see which slots are available at the moment. I will update this post to show how many map slots are available. You can do as many maps as you want, but please be considerate of other people who want to take part in this, as this is a community project. That said, map slots are given out on a first come, first serve basis.

 

This project has been switched over to Doom 2. All map slots have been taken, and I will try my best to release this wad somewhere in October or maybe early November.

Thanks to all that have made a map for this project.

 

If you are interested, please JOIN THE DISCORD. It is required to submit a map.

The Story So Far:

Spoiler

In the year 2145, humanity had made great strides in subspace travel, allowing for faster-than-light journeys to the furthest reaches of the galaxy. Mars had long been colonized, serving as a hub for interplanetary trade and research.

But this era of prosperity was abruptly cut short when a brutal alien invasion decimated the Martian colonies. The invaders, hailing from a distant planet, were ruthless in their conquest, showing no mercy to the human settlers.

As the few survivors banded together to mount a resistance, a desperate plan was formed: to use subspace technology to travel to the aliens' home planet and strike back at the heart of the enemy.

A ragtag fleet of ships, cobbled together from whatever could be salvaged, set out on a suicide mission to avenge the fallen and save humanity.

Pretty interesting project! Is there any deadline? Also, it's your Discord name correct? Tried to send you a DM, but didn't work out.

I have to accept your friend request for it to work (Idk why). There is no deadline yet, though I hope to finish sometime this year...

This seems pretty fun. Tho, I'd recommend you to actually put the resources here in the public thread, rather than behind a Discord wall that seems to be ultimately redundant, IMO. Discord has a spam filter that hides unwanted messages from people that you don't have added as a friend, so, better to just organize it here unless you have a full server for the CP administration.

 

That said, I'd like to take E4M1!

[Catfoolyou]

Sure thing! I will make a public server for this project, and will upload the WAD into this post.

I have few humble questions:

1. When you mentioned that this is gonna be a map pack for "Ultimate Doom" with "Doom II" textures, do you meaning that there is gonna be used a "D1GFXD2" resource pack? 
2. It is better to choose exact vanilla or limit-removing, since visplane overflow is a thing and I bet that map with astonishing count of sectors gonna crash Chocolate Doom really bad.
3. How exactly spechits overflow can be used in mapping? I am only in aware of using self-referencing sectors.

[SpaceCatCommander]

Im onboard with E2M4: Solar Arrays and E2M6: Hydroponics

[TheV1perK1ller]

Seems like a neat project. I'd like to take on E1M5: Waste Disposal.

[Uni]

E4M3: The Lair sounds interesting, I'll take it.

[IcarusOfDaggers]

I have something in mind for E1M7 Biometrics lab @Catfoolyou

Will add discord when I get home

[SpaceCatCommander]

Hello future maker of E4M9: Atmosphere Processing, when you will be in making process of the map you should use these images as an inspiration and starting point. This idea was approved by Catfoolyou themself:

I apologize for the (extremely) late reply, as I have been busy with other stuff. I will try to answer your questions as best as possible.

 

1. I'm not using the D1GFXD2 pack, textures along with PNAMES and other lumps are included directly in the PWAD.

2. That depends on the size of your map.

3. Look at STRAIN's MAP07 or MAP08 (I forgot which)

[nicolas monti]

Nice, can I take E1M3: instertion Point?

 

EDIT: and E2m2 becasue it is not on the list.

Sounds like a very interesting project. I wouldn’t mind taking a crack at e3m6 ‘growth chamber’ sounds like the kind of style of map that is right down my ally 😁

[Catfoolyou]

Sure! You were both added to the list.

[dmh094]

Already got a move on the map! haven't made a tech based map before, so this will be an interesting project :) 

 

about an hour's work: 

 

*also would like to ask for into the hive as well, then I could join the maps into each other.

It looks awesome! But dmh094, you should probably read stuff on our discord server, and post more in it aswell, you would get more feedback from people

You should probably write about it on discord server, theres a bigger chance CatFoolYou would read it
