Doom 2 Recreation Project: Update

[Generic Doomer]

Some of you might be familiar of what this is, though most most you probably don't know. This is a project I worked on in 2020-2021ish to test my skills with UDMF and Hexen map features, then it kinda blew up in a way I didn't expect it to.

This is a recreation of Doom 2's stock levels obviously, with advanced features and fancy stuff. I sort of felt pressured into redoing every map from doom 2 after my mod got traction and people wanted to see more, but I now realize that's out of my scope to do. So consider this a final version of sorts besides any bugs or flaws I may come back in to fix.

I originally only did maps 01-05 and 13, and 30.
Though since then I've done a complete rework of map 30, edited the levels 1-5 based on feedback I got, and complete map 06.
I also added Mapinfo to automatically take you to level 13 after 06, and 30 after 13 for convenience.

I decided I'd make a new topic due to the old one being inactive for, well, quite a while.
I'd recommend playing this mod with GZDoom, and you need the Doom 2 Iwad obviously. If you find any bugs or want to point out any flaws you see, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Credits are in the wad file.

Any screen shots?

Pretty cool. Some bugs here and there,

Spoiler

(e.g. there was no way to go back to the main area in Map 03 after you teleport to the area before the red key and pinky area, though it's not really a bug, more like an annoying feature. heh)

but I like the facelift overall actually. Really cool to see familiar settings with improved textures and some nice surprises and additions. 

 

Spoiler

Holy Map 30. I think we need some invul spheres man. It feels very impossible at this point after trying to beat it a few times. Took a while to realise I can just shoot the Icon of Sin anywhere and not just the exposed brain but 30k health is mad. Lol.

 i believe i put invulns there on lower difficulties, but yeah the boss is pretty hard on ultra violence, at least no one can call it underwhelming now

alright i've fixed the issue you were talking about in map 03

[Lamonadedead]

incredible wad, you did it amazing!

Minor thing, in first map i discovered that there is 8 secrets, but 3 of them are small sectors in rocket launcher closet, so they are inaccessible.

I support it! A strong Bug. IDCLIP only helps. It is better to remove or reduce the number of Secrets.
