PUSS 1876: BACK IN THE SADDLE!

[BluePineapple72]

🤠~~~~~~~🤠 YEEHAW!! 🤠~~~~~~~🤠

I forgot where we left off before the PUSS burnout hiatus. I think it was 38? 39 maybe? Doesn't matter, and besides it's pretty fitting , cause if you know anything about wild-west lore you'd know that counting wasn't invented until the industrial revolution in the mid 20th century, which if you actually don't know your cowboy lore the 20th century is during the BCE (bygone cowboy era). A horrible era that was. I still remember watching the accursed capitalists break the crust when they ascended from their underground capitalist metropolis and began raiding our wholesome western towns and began stealing our horses so that they could stock up them cafeterias in those scary new factories that they were building. I still remember when they took our boots and our spurs and told us that the only way to earn a decent Man's wage was in front of one of them fancy computers and not out on the grand frontier rasslin' up some cattle for uh... farming... or something. Look pardner, I don't know what them city folk do with a bovine. I'm just the man they pay to go wrangle 'em up. Wrangle 'em up on my hossie that is. My hossie that was stolen :(

 

That is I was the man. Was the man before jobs were invented and those greedy anti-cowboy money grubbers chained me up to this here factory pulling levers and turning knobs whilst ringing bells and whistles to make toothpaste. I done lost three fingers in that darn tootin finger crushing machine. Lord knows why corporate put a finger crushing machine in the bathroom.
 

Bein a hearty procrastinator and lacking fingers I decided that instead of working on the several other PUSS projects that I've got in the backlog I'd secretly (without telling @Death Bear and co) make a brand new COWBOY THEMED resource pack that replaces every monster with a similar yet different wild west variant and adds a few new ones as well just to spice up your gun game. Speaking of, all of the guns have been customized both visually and gameplayfully. I did some MBF demagic to make the pistol a reloadable revolver for example.

 

Naturally too I've gone ahead and hand made a few thousand textures that you can use to make your wild-west town, prospector casino, or horse brothel or whatever you freaks come up with. Long as it fits the rules of course (READ BELOW)
 

+ 2 Hour Mapping timer. (it's longer than you think, really)

+ Maps MUST use resources. I will NOT accept maps that do not use the resources provided, but you can submit them anyway.

+ Maps MUST have a Saloon.

+ Maps MUST include at least one Horse (attached README has some more information on how you can hack in using MBF specials for some neat tricks)

+ Maps MUST tell a story of some kind. This can be as complex as you desire. Can be a simple doomcute 'crime scene' type thing where you build a few clues that insinuate that something happened in a small part of your western town OR it could be what your whole map is built around! i.e. you the player do certain objectives that progress a story, such as a train heist or a bank robbery.

+ Maps MUST utilize at least TEN (11) of the new enemies. That's at least one of each of your choosing (there are more than five; read more below on these new enemies.)

+ NO TELEPORT CLOSETS.

+ NO INSTANT RAISE DOORS.

+ NO W1 ACTIONS. I've run into problems with them in the past. Just don't.

+ All maps MUST be set in America. I know some of you steam punks would love to take advantage of the whole 'victorian' time period thing and make some dumbass airship map but you gotta accept that the future is lubed with petroleum so FUCK your airships and FUCK your European coded retro future of boiled water and gears glued on hats. THIS IS AMERICA MOTHER. FUCKER. FLY BACK TO LONDON ON YOUR AIRSHIP. I'M ON A HORSE.

+ Maps MUST be revolver startable. This means you have to start the player out with at least 25 gold coins. We don't have a federal paper treasury yet.

+ Maps MUST use a NEW custom @muumi sky. You can give him a prompt for what you want to see in your sky. Since I made this resource pack in private he doesn't know about this project but I don't think he'd mind making whatever you want and whenever.

+ Maps MUST portray the American frontier with a tactful and wholesome portrayal as to uphold the moral and ethical codes of content creation. Naturally, a lot of people could get the wrong idea about America and its past, and on that same coin flip we don't wanna expose any children to any egregious lies or lascivious violent content like what Commiewood has been pumping out. So please, mind the cursing and make sure that your hero is always put into a situation of self defense when engaging in bloodless gun fightin'.

+ Maps are due by 11:59 PM April 31st 2024. I'll try to get playtesting done by my birthday on the 27th. I promise I've changed you guys. I promise! I promise!!! I'm also shooting for RC1 on the fifth of May. Perhaps even the fourth if I get my car fixed :D So don't do anything stupid to break your map. I WILL post it broken and I WILL blame you for fucking up the wad! You hear me! YOU HEAR ME!!

 

 

Your mapping time must consecutive. So that means no bathroom breaks. I know this is a radical change but I'm hoping you can get over it.

 

You may collaborate with another mapper. Though you will have to work on the same computer given the previous guideline. I'll also only credit one of you.

 

Your timer will only go down when you are mapping, playtesting, looking through the textures, waffling, finding a new song to play, searching for DR 171 (Door Raise and Lower then Raise Again), and applying sky transfers. Speedmaps will be under the honor rule. Neither you nor I can prove if a map went over the time limit or not, but trained eyes can see what is and is not a speedmap. If you cheat, people will notice. Any time in Slade used to give a midi is inside of your mapping time.

 

Once your time is up, if you haven’t beaten your map, please spend time to verify that your level is beatable, and to make sure co-op starts are included.

 

AFTER YOUR TIME LIMIT IS UP:

Submit your map.

 

There is no cap to how many maps you can submit to these events.

 

Any bug fixing/map changes are due to us once we've set a date, which will be after the completion of playtesting.

 

Make sure you have a name for your map before submitting in addition to a midi.

We only need the .wad file of your map. Compiling your submission with the resources is unnecessary for this event.

 

There are Seven (7) custom enemies included in this wad, explained in bullet points here below.

1. The gunslinger - 50HP, drops six bullets. Very fast but has to stop to shoot you. Will have to 'draw' his pistol before firing (which is his weak point). Shoot him before he completes his drawing for an instant kill.

2. The horse - 140HP drops a pack of horsemeat (medkit replacement). Can be flagged as a friendly and can be ridden whether friendly or not. Has a dangerous kick attack. Will attack you if not fed or cared for properly.

3. The Mayor - That son of a bitch has been bought out by the town's thieves! Shoot the fucker in the head to collect 7 (7) gold!

4. The Nazi - (replaces the SSNazi) - 160HP Though he doesn't necessarily look like a Nazi and won't attack you outright don't be fooled. His shooting attack has been replaced with ragebait about small boobies in videogames and the sanctity of women's sports which he watches now apparently. Also has an ability to obfuscate with you and complain that the insult 'nazi' is used way too often and has lost it's power while also trying to redefine what fascism is so that he isn't implicated.

5. The Washington Football team - I grabbed a lot of useful resources from some old doom wads for the resource pack, but I had to heavily modify them since they had some pretty outdated and offensive sprite work. Did a lot of work to update them to not be so garishly racist, but I couldn't really think of a good name so hopefully by the end of the mapping period we'll find a new name for this one.

6. A single European - (170HP) Has no six shooter, but does have a pretty unique and interesting attack. Thankfully since Doomguy has been replaced by CowboyGuy and CowboyGuy is an American, he is resistant to the freedom hating ways of people different from him.

7. The Marauder - (600 HP) The Marauder from Doom Eternal. The pinnacle of combat chess. Watch your map slow to a crawl as you play whack-a-mole with a Chaos Space Marine a Night Sentinel. Whatever that is. He is also resistant to the BFR (Big Fucking Revolver)

8. Cowboytum Missamiz - (120 HP) Voiced by our very own @Peccatum Mihzamiz this is a cowboy that constantly has the Invis shot effect (he misses all of his shots).

 

Resources are REQUIRED - you can download them here.

 

I've got a discord server where I do doom shit and it's linked right here. If you're curious about this event or have any questions feel free to ask. Hell, you can ask them in this thread if you want to. If you think this PUSS event sucks and could be better then fuck you go make your own thread and post a link. If you think PUSS sucks then fuck you go pull a horse's tail. If you're still waiting on previous PUSS releases then uh... wait.

Thanks man. I knew that I was falling into the trap of working on something new when I had old stuff to finish but I had such a good feeling about this one that I knew I was never going to give it up. I knew too that finishing it I wouldn't let you all down either.

 

But we've know eachother for so long @myolden that you have to know how my heart's been aching for you to try and play it. This resource pack I mean.

[Death Bear]

Hell yeah! Time to put some yella’bellies in the grave! New PUSS hype!

[PasokonDeacon]

Be rootin', be tootin', and by Hell be shootin', but remember, always be speedmappin'.

As of @Peccatum Mihzamiz's request - here is a sky for the new map.
To match the space cowboy theme it depicts large swaths of space cows racing over the celestial fields.
