⚫ Blocked-Out Is Compiling... ⚫

[Matakrow]

Hello!

 

Conceptualized during the development of Hamtex, this is a community project focused on Block-Outs for Classic Doom.

With restrictions on texturing, I’m hoping to see more maps that focus on gameplay, encounters and architecture.

It seems like the demons plan to deconstruct all of existence layer by layer!

All life on earth has been ripped back into a simple synapse of god’s mind.

Doomguy, with the sun becoming more distant,
dashes off to the last UAC teleportation station to be sent deep into the source of the catastrophe!

Before everything crumbles away…

• Maps must be Doom 2 Boom or lower.
• Maps must only use modified resources from the asset pack. 
• Maps must work with Co-op. Include all 8 player starts.

Map Slots will be ordered by difficulty and length. 
So you won’t be collecting a specific slot.

Blocked-Out is compiling. Sorry for vanishing.

[Lizardcommando]

Color me intrigued. I will have to try and submit something here.

[HorseJockey]

Hey, count me in I'll try and make something for this. I always go crazy and end up making total conversions so this would be a fun way to stick to making just a Doom map.

[SilverMiner]

[Origamyde]

Hey there, joining in ! Been a long time since I did a com' project, this should be good ;)

[Matthias]

Ok, I would like to join :)

[spineapple tea]

I'll take a slot.

[DynamiteKaitorn]

OwO

YES I'd LOVE to map for this!

[EagerBeaver]

I love gimmicky projects like this. Count me in, I'll try to brew something decent.

[wumbo]

Count me in, man. I'm new to mapping, however when given a simple canvas without having to deal with making textures look good, I can make really good stuff. I'll work on a map.

can't freaking choose map slot

[shaokahn68]

[DrinkyBird]

No promises, but give me a slot, I'll see if I can make something...

[Silhouette 03]

If novice mappers are allowed to participate, then I'd like a slot please.

[Engired]

I'm in, it's not like I'm doing much anyway.

[HorseJockey]

Quick question, looking through the resource wad there are dynamic light actors that replace the explosive barrel. Those show up in GZDoom obviously but not prboom plus and like source ports. Are we aiming for a certain source port? If not is it cool to decorate the maps for more than one source port?

[DRON12261]

Well, I'll take the slot now and give you the map next month.

You mean GLDEFS? If so, that lump is additive and only adds dynamic lights to source ports that support it.
It should not replace any object at all nor it should serve as a focus of decoration or a replacement for sector lighting for anybody working with Zdoom ports.
I've updated the resource pack just now to remove GLDEFS among other light related fixes. Just in case a mapper ignores the sentence above.

Not really. We're only aiming for accessible source ports that support Boom.
Primarily, whoever's chillin out inside my test map tab in UDB.

Already started working on it :)

There is also this folder called "prohibited" that contains many other folders, called like "illegal" and "stop" and "do" "no" "use" and so on :D Ends with things that can't be used somehow.

[HorseJockey]

Ignore me, I was not paying attention and got my wires crossed. I thought that under the 'light' tab that the light had replaced the explosive barrel but had click on env_explosion under obstacles. But either way, just to clarify are you saying not to use the 'light' actors in our map?

You can still use those light actors. They are just sprite replacements of the standard torches. Y'know to fit the theming. Using editor sprites as acual decorations.
