DavidN Posted June 1 Can you believe it's June again already?! That means the fourth round of RAMP, the Rabbit's All-comers Mapping Project, is now open for business! This is an event to encourage people who are curious about the Doom community to give mapping a try and to be part of a wider project. If you're looking for a place to get off the ground, or you know people in your other communities who might enjoy mapping - or if you've been wanting to try something in mapping that you haven't before - please point them this way and I'd be delighted to see what they can create. The submitted levels will be compiled into a hub where your map gets showcased alongside the other submissions and becomes part of a wider sort of meta-game. The goal is simple: make a map. Any theme, any level of skill, it doesn't matter - just try something out, experiment and enjoy! If you're not new to Doom you're still welcome to join - try out something that you haven't before, like experimenting with ZScript (or the other way around, limit yourself to vanilla). There are some more details, tutorials and a link to the RAMP Discord at https://ramp2024.doomproject.com to help people who have never so much as played Doom before get up and running quickly. Like in previous years, the project will run on GZDoom and DOOM2.WAD. A pack of editors and resources is available on the project site. https://ramp2024.doomproject.com 72 Quote Share this post Link to post
Kroc Posted June 1 (edited) Bump. All the best David. Can I please request that this time around, each level portal has a thumbnail like DUMP3? It makes it much easier to orientate yourself and locate your favourite levels again. (I'm mostly finished with RAMP2022, haven't done 2023 yet) YT vid looks like this has already been done, great!

Clippy Posted June 1 I'm already working on something really silly I love ramp and the big collaboration and especially the lack of any real limitations letting all sorts of wacky ideas flow free range 7 Quote Share this post Link to post

Zerofuchs Posted June 1 Hm still got my own pack and doomworld maximum submission to work on but... what the hey I'll put them on the backburner for a few weeks. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Patrick_Plays_Doom Posted June 1 Before i join in, does anyone know the formats allowed? is it just gzdoom formats or can i use something like "Doom: doom 2"? i went to the website but all i got is "runs on gzdoom" and that does not directly answer my question 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Matt Eldrydge Posted June 1 Last year I wasn't really sure of my mapping abilities, so I didn't apply but I'll take a shot at it this year. :) 2 Quote Share this post Link to post

Doom 2, Boom or UDMF should be fine. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post

RulesMcGee Posted June 1 Commenting to remind myself of this. I have a level in mind, actually, though I feel its worth asking - is it considered bad form to submit a level you make to two different projects/megawads? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
TJG1289 Posted June 1 I enjoyed making a few maps for this last year! I had started a map last year that I never got around to finishing, so I may finish that up for this. Just need to get some motivation to do so. I mean, I still need to make some fixes to a map I made for a CP, but I'm kinda burned out. Hopefully I can finish that map, and then finish one for this. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post
IMQ2006 Posted June 2 (edited) Woot! Happy to be a part of this again. Map in progress. Edited June 2 by IMQ2006 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
CactusChowder Posted June 2 Oh whoa, this looks great! I got inspired and hairballed up a short map for this. Doomguy ends up helping a dying god of hell get revenge on the followers that betrayed and killed him. As the god dies, his death throes warp and corrode the environment. I still want to make some music for the map, so it's not completely ready. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
KitKatrina Posted June 2 (edited) Ooh, cool!! Are we allowed to use custom textures or audio? I'd love to add some but i wouldn't wanna bloat the file too big or something. Edited June 2 by KitKatrina 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
A Handsome Fridge Posted June 2 I too will map this year again. Unlike other years I'll be starting from absolute scratch and I don't know how far I'll get. Gotta get doodling! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

I'd love to add some but i wouldn't wanna bloat the file too big or something. Yep! The details are described in the rules section on the link in the opening post. We are all encouraged to keep the file size down and use light music formats, but mp3 is allowed as well (which is good for me cause I don't know how to MIDI :p). 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
Async Unicorn Posted June 2 (edited) I guess I can make something for this project... Glad that you allow to choose between Doom / Boom / UDMF, mapping in classic can be boring sometimes. Edited June 2 by Async Unicorn 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
tomas7777 Posted June 2 Finally! I might make something, if I have the time. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
DoomGappy Posted June 2 Commenting to get notifs, I will definitely make a map for this, even if it's something small. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
