texture relating to a sea of the dead

[Vajjer'sDoomThings]

so like im making this wad and i want one of the levels to be like your on a bridge that goes over a sea of corpses or something 

and im just wondering if any of yall have any textures or anything that relates to that because i cant really find anything

Floor and Ceiling textures are known as "flats," and in many ports, they're only allowed to be 64 by 64 map units. It would probably be a little difficult to get a tiling floor which has enough detail to be convincing in just 64x64.  GZDoom supports using wall textures on the floor, but it would still need to be set up to tile properly. That is likely why you haven't found much like that.

You may also be able to create sky texture and apply it to those sectors. You would need port/format that supports those, though.

Yes, but if the player is able to look up or down, sky will look odd, the center will fade to a solid color.

umm... you could simply make your own texture if you like.

1. download [gimp], a free open-source image editor [here].
2. download a photo of corpses/zombies. i can't do this - too scary for me. you could find cartoonish ones i think, like the ones used in [plants vs zombies] game.
3. open the photo with gimp.
4. crop/resize the photo to 64x64 pixels.
5. use [filter > map > tile seamless].
6. save the image as png, and you're done.

hope this helps. good luck :)

This is a bit of a cheesy solution, but if you take this texture and use it as a midtexture (in the same manner you might use a grass midtexture) on top of BLOOD flat that will give more or less the impression of a "sea of bodies". It's just BODIES (or SP_FACE2) with most of the top part erased to give the illusion of depth.

There's a flat in the first Action Doom which would definitely fit this description. You can see a screenshot of it in use here: https://www.doomwadstation.net/main/action/ - it's the bottom screenshot in the right side panel.
