Lizardcommando Posted May 8, 2023 How do you add in more than 4 player starts? I'm using Doom Builder 1 and when I use the Boom game configuration, I only have 4 player starts available. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

EagerBeaver Posted May 8, 2023 (edited) Well, that was an unusual and amusing experience. Now, I am ready to present you my map. Map Name: Dancing Roaches From Planet Mercury Map Slot: 01 Map Format: Boom (Doom 2) Author: EagerBeaver Music and Composers: BBC Radiophonic Workshop - Colour Radio. MIDI rendition made by my friend Ajoura. Par Time: It took me somewhat like 13-17 minutes while testing, so let it be 15 min. Map Description: I always wanted to create a "strange" map - with strange and unusual name, strange and maybe a little bit illogical monster placement, strange secrets, strange choice of music... And suddenly, this CP shows up! It was a great opportunity for me to finally use all ideas I've gathered and also improve my level-building skills. This map is more about exploration than combat. You need to find three keys and activate switches to create a bridge to the exit (and also lower movement blocking bars). Map Screenshots are hidden under spoiler (NoMo activated). Important Reminder - for technical reasons the MIDI will have wierd sound glitches if you use FluidSynth midi-player in your Boom settings. For better experience, please, use another player, like PortMIDI. HOT FIX - some teleporters didn't work on easy and medium difficulties due to my flop with flags. Map archive updated.

There is also a Co-op checkpoint room, where teleporters will open that can quickly catch you up to your allies, and regain lost ground. Read more in the ZIP file I've haven't gotten around to beating your map fully yet for my final thoughts on it. But i've found some overlapped monsters on UV right here.

DrinkyBird Posted May 8, 2023 Current status... Spoiler Can you tell this is the first full map I've made for actual proper monster-shooty Doom gameplay? The main layout is mostly finished, I think... but I need to finish and think a bit more about monster placement. And it needs a lot of prettifying... 2 Quote Share this post Link to post
spineapple tea Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) It seems a little awkward since there aren't exactly "slots" per say, but I'd like to drop my equivalent to a slot if possible. Currently I have one other community project to contribute to and I'd like to finish that soon so I can have a clean schedule and do some personal mapping as summer vacation is approaching. Plus, the map I was working on has been a bit of a technical puzzle for me and it would either seem rushed and unsatisfactory to me, or scrapped and severely limit my vision of the map. Good luck to this project though, it really does seem to be shaping up to be something great. Edited May 9, 2023 by spineapple tea 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

Lizardcommando Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) I finally got this map done. I started the map on April 28th and finished updating it just now (May 9th as of this post). I might need to fix some texture alignment here and there, but it is fully playable. The 8 player starts are there and difficulty is adjusted accordingly. There is 1 secret room that holds the Super Shotgun, which, I admit, makes the map much easier to go through, but it is entirely possible to play through with the weapons that you find out in the open (the shotgun, chaingun and rocket launcher). I was originally going to use the placeholder barrels that is in the resource pack, but it just didn't look right in this map, so i switched them out with some other stuff. EDIT: Hopefully this is the very last update for the map. I readjusted some of the texturing once more in my map. lc-blockedout-v5.zip Map Name: Toxic Sludge Power Plant Author: Lizardcommando Music and Composers: Sunken Library "Submerged Memory" (Mega Man Zero 3) by Heatman (Found on VGmusic.com) Par Time: 5:25 Map Description: This is some kind of UAC Power Plant that runs entirely on recycled toxic sludge.

Thanks to Matacrat for opening their project to novice mappers :) Map Name: The bloodworks Author: Silhouette 03 Music and composers: Coliformication- Lippeth Par time: 4:23( with saves) Map description: A relatively short abstract techbase(?) map.

MoiraHeart Posted May 9, 2023 Can we get some custom skies? I'm thinking about the default sky recolors, like a night one, a sunset one, a hellish red & weird purple one. Just recolors, nothing fancy. Can't figure out remapping palettes so I haven't tried doing it myself, but I'm thinking my night forest would greatly benefit from a night sky, pfft. If not that's fine, I'll make the day lighting instead. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post
EagerBeaver Posted May 9, 2023 Checked my map once again. The difficulty flags are my problem. I always forget that each new object you place on a map "remembers" the flag settings of previous object. As a result, some weapons and monsters didn't appear on easy and medium difficulties. So I did some "erroneous flag hunting" and placed some new monsters and objects for co-op and singleplayer mode. Ajoura also playtested my map and made some changes to the music. I've added the new MIDI to the map (the sound glitches in FluidSynth still remain though). Map archive in my previous comment is updated. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Biodegradable Posted May 9, 2023 @Bloodbath Giraffe Run into a fatal error trying to run your map, fam. @Lizardcommando Simple, yet elegant. Nicely done, Lizard! @Silhouette 03 Tough and nasty and your affinity for Archies remains strong. Got me heated, but it's nothing that's total bullshit. @EagerBeaver A curious puzzle map that tests you just a little. Nothing too hard. I quite like it, fam. :^) 3 Quote Share this post Link to post

Nice catch, mate. I'll have to playtest that one tomorrow since I'm out of time this evening. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

Thanks for playing :) I'm really glad you seemed to be enjoying yourself. Hopefully I didn't frustrate you too much :P I've fixed the linedef trigger. I had to maneuver it a little bit, but it should work now. I got rid of a few pinkies. The encounter is a bit messy since I'm still new to enemy placement, so I'm open to suggestions. Thanks and have a nice evening. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
EagerBeaver Posted May 9, 2023 @Biodegradable, thanks for playtesting! I made a quick monster closet fix after watching your playthrough. Now the area with teleporting linedefs is bigger and both arachnos teleport to the arena properly. And updated the map in my "main" comment once again. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

Lizardcommando Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) Thanks for playtesting my map @Biodegradable. I hope it wasn't too difficult. I haven't had the chance to fully test out the map in HMP and in the lower difficulty settings. Personally, I think I might have overdone it with the Lost Souls in the toxic sludge room where you deactivate the security laser. I thought you would be able to find the SSG in my map lol. Also, there is a berserk pack in the map. Spoiler It's in the monster closet in the yellow key area. It's right in front of the yellow key altar. I made some last minute adjustments to my map. I had to fix a few textures in the final area. lc-blockedout-v5.zip Edited May 16, 2023 by Lizardcommando 2 Quote Share this post Link to post

Biodegradable Posted May 11, 2023 @Bloodbath Giraffe A more subdued experience to what I've seen in your other work, mate, but no less frenetic and challenging. Lovely stuff! @DynamiteKaitorn Good lord, that midi got annoying quickly. The map itself however works fine and dandy. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post

Matakrow Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) Lot of cool maps released the last few days! So far I've played through the new ones but not enough to form a strong opinion off them. You'll see me talk more about those new ones in the coming days (hopefully). But for now, here's the stuff i've done this week.Asset Pack Updates Spoiler -fixed blue tones in pallette. -added a sky2. -Fist is faster as a weapon. -Started work on the main menu. -fixed main menu demo playback crashes. -added a new texture from hamtex, noisetrak. It's a doortrak replacement. Spoiler -a bunch of other small stuff, like png offset improvements. F1 Screens so far Aside from dashlet's one, the f1 screens won't change much from the "command line" theme unless they vary wildly in tone. Spoiler Thank you for all the maps released so far!

PRO-RC Posted May 13, 2023 WIP screenshot First time I've used the BOOM colored lighting feature. Idk if it's allowed in the rules to implement it though since you need to add your own Colormap into the Wad. thankfully it can easily be removed if necessary and not change much of what the map looks like. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post
