Plutonia Revisited Community Project: Released!

[C30N9]

purpleyoshi13, you should add multiplayer flagged monsters especially big ones, like cyber demon on your map.

[C30N9]

Started working on a new map:
Name: Schlachthause
Homage: 1- MAP09
2- Name: Schlachthaus means Slaughterhouse in German, the "e" at the last is a typo from me, "Abattiore" is the original name, Abattior means slaughterhouse in French, the "e" at the last is a typo, so that's the inspiration.

"Gambit" has been completed.

Testers, check your PMs!



PRIMEVAL, I sent you a copy of this map in case you want to compose something. Nothing too heavy or quick. Pretty much anything else will fit this map.

[Xaser]

And to follow suit...



Layout is done, gameplay is about halfway there. It's a bit of a different approach than usual, inspired a bit by the Malcolm Sailor school of thought.

I also came up with a fun list of guidelines I've managed to stick to for this one:

• Low-ish monster count ( < 100 if possible, absolutely less than 150)
  
• No hitscanners
  
• No SSG, Plasma, or BFG
  
• Make Barons actually dangerous
  
• No VPOs, even really-hard-to-find ones
  
• Time Travel!

If I get this done within a week, it'll be the quickest I've ever done an SP map before. Yikes.

I might also be hiding something. But that's okay, because spoilers suck.


In other news, I'm psyched to see what the final project is going to be like. "Gambit" here has got me really curious.

MAP31 Cyberdemon Vertigo:


Overall final layout. hawkwind is currently fixing some issues he found with it in Risen3D.

[HOLY CRAP]

It baffles me how you can make such things within the confines of Vanilla Doom, Xaser.

[darkreaver]

Looks like Mista_T and Xaser made the same map almost :P

[valkiriforce]

I need a song for my map, so who's it gonna be? PRIMEVAL or Stewboy?

[C30N9]

So much lack of time of mapping because of the exams, 2 days left so then i could get my map finished in a smaller time!

[C30N9]

Here is more screenies:

You can give me feedback about detailing the fridge...

[purpleyoshi13]

Added some multiplayer monsters, progress is going faster than I had expected, if I keep up this pace, the map will be finished in this week!

(NEXT POST WILL FEATURE IN-GAME SCREENSHOTS!)

[Philnemba]

I like the screenshots that everyone made during these past days especially Whoo, Xaser and Mista_T's map layouts.

There was only a very rare glitch with Risen3D. It might have been a problem with other ports too. I cannot verify. There was, however, serious issues with this for all ports. I have fixed those too. Whoo should have the fixed version by now.

[Joshy]

-Go8It

Can I speak for PRIMEVAL and re-suggest "Have @ It"? :P

Also, I've sent a "finished" beta of Wicked Garden to the testers. It's a lot shorter than Helix so hopefully the revisions will take infinitely less time :P

[MTrop]

"Gambit" may be finalized once I get the okay from one or two more testers by the weekend.

[purpleyoshi13]

i completely finished my map. where do i need to send it to?

Hahaha, I guess we'll never see the end of it :)

Could "@" be displayed on the automap anyway ?
Too lazy to check for now.

purpleyoshi13 : Hmm, not to be harsh, but some screenies seem too square-ish or bland to me ( shots 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, and the last two ones ). You still have some time to polish your map, make the most of it :)
Try to have something that resembles Plutonia !

Send it to Joshy - http://www.doomworld.com/vb/private.php?action=newmessage&userid=9502

Best to ask for his email address and then you can email him your map. Or upload your map to some file hosting site.

Just send them over to the testers listed on the first page. :-)

[C30N9]

Take a look at this, the new hiding place:

I don't think i should post more images, it could show all the level!

[WH]-Wilou84 said:

It sure can:



Forgive the pushing and prodding on this, but I feel that somebody must. :P

[4mer]

Nooooooooooooo level 1 is called Stonewall :)

[Death Egg]

Xaser said:

Yeah, I agree, Have @ It is a very cool name for the secret level, especially since Go 8 It doesn't really make much sense, unless it has some meaning I'm missing behind it.

[WH-Wilou84]

Xaser said:

Ok fine, you win. :)
"Have @ It" it is, then.

[PRIMEVAL]

Hahah, glad my suggestion was well liked XP

[Snakes]

I forgot to mention that I'm in St. Louis this week and my availability for testing is extremely limited. So, uh... Don't hold your breath for me map designers :(

Also, Have @ It is cool... I still like Go 4 It 2, though!

[darkreaver]

"Go 4 It 2" is much better imo

[Xaser]

There's already a Go 4 It, though, and this isn't Plutonia 2:2. :P

On topic: Preliminary testing for Garden is going well. At least one tester has reported it as" playable" now... second iteration of course. :P

I remind you that the map is made for slots 8-9-10.

I finish a room and it will be ok.

edit, I propose you "Rules Of The Death" for the name.
