Hell Ground - 7 levels megawad by Eternal

[entryway]

Some random shots from upcoming 7 levels megawad by Eternal. It's BOOM. Will be released in few days (after releasing of prboom-plus 2.5.0.5)

All of them on one page:
http://prboom-plus.sourceforge.net/hg.html





EDIT:
Released: http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/?id=15919

Those are some pretty impressive looking shots. I really like some of those pseudo sloped bits of architecture.

[punnyone]

that looks amazing!

[WH-Wilou84]

Impressive shots you have there.
Nice to see new Eternal maps !

[ArmouredBlood]

Those skies are awesome ... the rest of the pics are cool too ;)

[TheeXile]

Wow. You sure that's Boom?



Go on, Eternal. Put that arrogant cock-lover Huy in his place! Wahaha!

;)

[Insane_Gazebo]

Those look fantastic.

Look forward to finding out where all the monsters are 'hidden' :)

Heh, yeah. You can't play this wad with DOS BOOM. Some maps are very big. 40000+ sidefs. Also you need support of hires, tall patches and ogg music. The only ports I know can handle this wad correctly are gzdoom and glboom-plus. Size of this wad is about 60mb.

No skulltag? :(

Did not tests it with skulltag. Skulltag == gzdoom in my mind, so I think it should work perfectly too. The only problem I can assume is stretched skies. The latest versions of gzdoom and glboom-plus do not stretch skies anymore. I can't use 'forcenoskystretch' MAPINFO option for old version of gzdoom, because of shit with zdoom (http://prboom-plus.sourceforge.net/Screenshot_Doom_20091111_143627.png)

Of course it also works with prboom-plus and zdoom (not so cool without hires though), but you need the latest svn build of zdoom, because of problems with MBF skies

There are a lot of bugs with Edge and Vavoom (wrong rendering and unsupported some of BOOM features) so it's impossible to play with these ports.

[gggmork]

Those look cool; I would have guessed its zdoom. This wad is brought to you by the letter 'T'.

They instantly reminded me of King REoL's REoL Architecture™ or whatever he called it.

REOL DETAIL :O

Reol used 1 unit wide sector slopes though.

[Doom_user]

This looks awesome.

Is it going to be coop compatible or single player only?

[Swec]

Very very impressive!!!

My map lock like shit :P

That was it! :)

That was also like 10 years ago and he didn't build a reject table, so it ran like garbage on all but the most high-end systems (which was apparently a point of pride).


This episode won't be slaughter maps, will it?

[Kyka]

Damn. These are simply incredible.

No, it does not. I finished all maps without savegames and with demo recording (with a few death though). On map07 I used savegames (with demo recording also), because it is very big (43k sidefs) and I did not want to restart from scratch. I have died only four times (because I am lamer).

[Phml]

No, it does not.

Color me disappointed.

Edit : not to say it's bad, but Eternal makes the best slaughtermaps in my opinion, while his normal levels are "merely" very good.

[VoltDriver]

Been looking for some good quality maps for Boom. Cant wait to give this shot - and i love that detail and architecture!

[esselfortium]

This looks nice, though it's totally cheating to say a wad that uses PrBoom-Plus GL features is "a Boom wad".

[Patrick]

Ahhh, another cacoward contender I see. Does eternal do anything other than make doom maps?

No for the last week. He works about 14 hours per day with this shit. Hope you will like it :)

It bothers me how everything in the "green" screen shot is green except for the hanging body and stimpacks. I feel like the only items that would fit in there is Armor, Armor bonuses, and bullet boxes. And maybe those green torches.

Risen3D supports all of these. As such it should run in said port. Looking forward to this ... :)
