Blighted Aura: Land of Parthoris (Final beta Release)

[RonLivingston]

Blighted Aura: Land of Parthoris is a E1M1-E6M1 RPG mod compatible with Heretic, Originally started in 2018, The project went through many bug fixes and map development before reaching what an RPG based mod inspired by Stephen Clark look like with a big amount of decorate and scripts 

 

Every Map has almost every Patrol Point within, the 4 horsemen from Hexen 2 featured along with Morcalavin from Heretic 2, pretty sure it took too long to complete it right before some beta testing was supposed to be needed. 6 Classes confirmed, along with 2 new weapons requiring Xbow ammo and blaster Ammo

Whats the load order

Some screenshots would be very much appreciated. Interesting to see you were inspired by TUD's work, as his Heretic WAD is probably his most obscure, and one I've always wanted to play myself.

Interesting screenshots! The very first image looks very, very TUD in particular :P May I ask though, why is there a rifle weapon in the third screenshot?

[RonLivingston]

well because the second player class Sigvard holds a rifle that acts like a sword, so I wanted to make the skullrod weapon a bayonette, I forgot some screenshots had Blasphemer in the gameplay

For pity's sake.

 

RonLivingston is (STILL) a serial plagiarist.

Saying vs doing are two different things.

[RiviTheWarlock]

This is comically damning even. How did you stop if there are instances after 2017?

I just said I wanted to make maps of my own and nobody understands me, I stopped in 2018 and I just needed to move on :(

I don't understand how you think plagiarism is okay :(

[RonLivingston]

I never did plagiarism on purpose, I'm sorry! please just forgive me, I feel like I don't want to be trusted because of internet outages :(

But you didn't. there are screenshots from this very mapset that have clearly been lifted from other people.

This makes no sense. Internet outages mean you would have less access to other people's work to plagiarize from, therefore forcing you to draw with your own hand.

And weirdly with my pretty much nonstop internet usage and access I've always drawn my maps with my own hands.

 

Please understand how this looks. this isn't going away with a little frowny face. please own up to what you are doing before you ask for forgiveness. and don't expect it either. plagiarism is a plague for any creator's catalogue, both looking back and going forward. it is a breach of trust for not just the people you stole from but the people who may enjoy your work - because now they begin to wonder if any of it is actually yours.

You're free to explain to us why copying other people's works and passing it off as your own is perfectly okay and a complete misunderstanding of your creative process, you starving artist you.

I can explain, its just 2 decades ago I was a terrible skulltag player, it was a waste of my time for the last 6 years in 2012, I never had a chance to map, and this is why no one just takes me seriously, this year is horrible now

um, no. people don't take you seriously because you plagiarize.

 

this really isn't hard. I'm a dogshit Doom player but again, I make my own maps with my own hands. just make a map that is at your playing skill. or get someone to test your work. do the work that literally every Doom mapper does.

 

I can't make you take responsibility but keep in mind that absolutely no one is buying this.

I feel like an idiot for doing somthing like this, I shouldn't have done this a long time ago :(

[Obsidian]

You were told by numerous people six years ago that this kind of behaviour was unacceptable. And do not act like this plagiarism was something that happened to you, this was something you actively engaged in for years while knowing that it wasn't the right thing to do. Your continued existence on these forums hinged upon your answer to Jimmy's comment and it seems clear to me that your only regret in all this was that you got caught.

 

Thank you for the work you did in compiling that evidence @Jimmy.
