Fast as Hell Flags (NEW 32 Level CTF megaWAD for Zdaemon, Zandronum, and Odamex)

[Arrowhead]

 

Hello everybody,

 

This is a large 32 map CTF-only megaWAD that was made in approximately a month and a half. Levels are boom-compatible, and as far as we can tell in our testing, this project should work well in all 3 major MP ports.

 

We started this project because we had a ton of fun making the past CTF project, Wadazine CTF, and because we wanted another project for our weekly CTF event every Sunday, Wadazine Flag Fest.

 

We aimed for a rapid style of gameplay in this map set. Maps are predominately medium-sized w/ the occasional larger map. This pack is an ideal size for 3v3 / 4v4 player games.

 

Maps range from experimental UAC facilities, to foundries, to desert wastes, remote outposts, hellish scapes, surreal arenas, snowy bases, libraries, beach islands, server rooms, and much more!

 

There are 19 maps by Arrowhead & 11 maps by Endless. MAP25 and MAP32 were worked on together, w/ MAP25 using Endless' geometry and my texturing - and MAP32 using my geometry and his texturing. We were also happy to bring on board @ignatiOS and @SkeletronMK667 for a single map each, making an even 32 levels.

 

We started this map pack on the 15th of May this year, and just finished mapping on 2023-07-04.

 

This pack uses only Otex1.1 + Doom 2 for textures - you do not need to load Otex1.1 alongside.

 

This set is designed to be played w/ jump ON, freelook ON, crouch OFF, Item respawn ON, weapon stay ON, and respawning barrels ON.

We also appreciate the MIDI composers who allow their tunes to be re-used in other projects, as well as anybody else who participated in this project. A thorough credits is present in the attached readme.

We've got a lot more in the works! We're thinking of making a sister WAD at some point focused on DM, called 'Fast as Hell Frags'.

 

Here are the other projects Endless and I have worked on together, so far:

Congratulations on the release! It's not every day a fully fledged CTF mapset hits the floor!

I recorded a short video a little while ago showing how to get out of those pits on map 19 Subterra that don't have elevators in them. Posting it here assuming some people might find it useful.

I've since fixed the inescapeable pits in that one map, (MAP19, Subterra). Also fixed a couple misalignments elsewhere.

 

Will post an update in a moment.
