Box of Chaos, a open-to-all Wolfenstein 3D community compo

[Mizuki_Jun10]

I wanted to do the level when I finished my mappack for Spear of Destiny, but anxiety won't let me, so I'll do it now.

 

But now I see that there are two levels occupying Slot E1L1, some of these levels will have to change the slot later, right?

[Walter confetti]

Yes, no worries!

[Lila Feuer]

Yeah mine is also E1F1, but I wouldn't mind it being switched to a slot that provides an actual ceiling color.

patrolling enemies work properly now, fixed few textures error.

[Mizuki_Jun10]

Good news, I finished my level, almost breaking Vanilla's maximum enemy and item count, I did it, I hope it's good for you guys.

 

I'll still see if I can bring one more level, but we'll see about that later.

Edit: 

I forgot to say that it occupies level 03, so use the .Bat file.

If the .Bat file doesn't work, edit it with Notepad and replace ECWolf with LZWolf or Wolf3d or something like that.

fun map

[realjohnmadden]

Cool, a Wolf3D mapping competition. I've wanted to submit a map for this one for a while, just haven't found the time to make an actual map until now, and I only made my Doomworld account recently.

Goes over E1M2 (MAP02) and has a secret exit, but feel free to change the slot and where the secret exit will go to. (In ECWolf, use shift+alt+backspace to enable debug mode and do Tab-W/Tilde-W then type 2 in order to go to E1M2.)

How wonderful, another fun level, the design is so coherent that it's almost impossible to get lost, levels like this are exemplary, even better for the good amount of spaces, I loved it, but the only weird thing is some textures that get a little mixed from time to time like a brown stone texture right next to a gray brick texture and some dogs stuck in the walls causing the wall collision to be turned off and thus making the player enter them.

 

Incredible level!
Feel free to create another level if you want John!

[Walter confetti]

Thanks for your map John! Fun and simple too... could be a good opener!

I definitely agree, it's one of the most romantically simple yet, perfect for one of the first on set.

Decided to give my map a name and a custom track, and also gave it very minor edits.

WGothic.zip

Now it's called "Uninvited", and uses the song "Walking Through Heck" by @Jimmy, edited and converted to .IMF format.

 

Is ECWolf the target port for this project? Because I'm using MAPINFO, and I've seen other submissions with different lump formats.

Just wanna let OP know I'll be submitting my map once I finish my Doom mod for Dec 10, hopefully there's still slots left if it's a concern, I know the deadline is the beginning of next year but I won't force you to wait that long lol. Great to see so many pitching in, it's honestly a very fun game to creatively task yourself.

[THEBaratusII]

Got the mapping itch again so I cooked up a Wolfenstein map. I call this one "Mark-O" and uses a somewhat faster un19.mid (converted to .IMF format) (Alice In Chains - We Die Young)

Feedback is welcome!

Uhm... Well in the end it will be all patched into a PK3 file so... Yeah, let's say aim for ECWolf guys, overall i'm using that for testing.

I made a secret map and slightly updated my first entry. Maybe I went a little too overboard..

Regardless, the maps are in the "maps" folder of the pk3, and the mapinfo only covers the two maps.

Thanks for your map, i'll take a look soon! I made a boss map as well this noon:

Title: Hitlerman

Description: My second wolf 3D map ever, more "advanced" than the previous entry. It's pretty thought imo

[Lila Feuer]

Couple days left, I should get that map out soon eh. Also a reminder for anyone else who may've participated in the project.

Worst case scenario I'm somehow not able to contribute the level I'll just do a solo release as an extra "bonus" for anyone interested. I wasn't able to finish my Doom mod project this month either, so that's TBA until further notice and I just haven't felt that great lately to begin with, but besides I look forward to playing this project when it's finished!

[Walter confetti]

16 hours till deadline! If you can finish a map in time, i'm happy with It... As well as have nothing new.

However, we have made already a episode worth of fun maps! I'm pretty proud of the results!

[DNSKILL5]

Unfortunately I won’t be able to make the deadline after all. Been really busy with work to the point I’ve had zero time off. 

[Walter confetti]

Compiled episode in the post below.

MAP04 is broken - the WAD for it isn't properly setup.

The marker lump contains data even though it's a marker lump (the actual lump with data should be named PLANES), and there's no ENDMAP lump.

This is how it should be setup.

MAP05 is also broken - it seems as if the mapper tried stuffing the music lump into the WAD (which, that's not how it works..).

The rest don't seem to crash or cause any errors.

fixed the broken maps in the compilation

[Lila Feuer]

Congratulations to all involved, I'm sorry I wasn't able to finish in time, this was my first attempt at contributing to a project so naturally I didn't prep myself in the event something happened or I have days where my motivation is at zero, but no big deal, there's always next time! 

[THEBaratusII]

Nice to see my level as Floor 3. Glad to have contributed! ^^

 

Hope people enjoyed it as it's my first released level for Wolfenstein 3D, I did make several Rise of the Triad multiplayer levels I plan to share in the future.

Thanks, i started some day ago a sequel to this project here, if you want to put your unfinished maps that you're going to do for this or something else be my guest!

Oh no, I missed it...

[Walter confetti]

No worries! There's it's sequel on the way if you are interested!

[THEBaratusII]

So I got around to playing through Box of Chaos up until E1M6. Honestly, with having to god mode my way out of the map because of the tight areas surrounded by Pac Man Ghosts, I believe this is more fitting as a secret level, and I couldn't play through the rest because after killing one of the bosses, it triggered the Death Cam and ended the game.

 

But I will say I am liking this mapset so far except for that. Will try to warp to E1M7 sometime later on.
