Interception

Given the theme, you could replace some of the tech base textures with worn or rusty versions.

[purist]

I agree with Memfis that it would be too great a clash of styles to allow any textures but you could make a texture wad that suits your vision of your project. If you're going to do this it's best you do it quick so everyone has the same resource from the start.

I may join. Been waiting for community projects!

[DeathevokatioN]

I vote stock textures.

[General Rainbow Bacon]

Seconded.

[C30N9]

Are you voting for textures? I go for stock like DeathevokatioN.

Anyway, by sticking to story, do you mean we should make an end of a map the start of the next map? Or do you mean sticking to theme?

EDIT: I'm in for a techbase themed map! I think MAP09 will be my claimed slot.

[franckFRAG]

In the worst, used the stock of texture as that of Vela Pax, which remains close to doom1/2 textures, me IMHO, I prefer only with the textures of doom2.

I advanced my vanilla map, in spite of I still have no agreement of Matt534Dog for the chosen slot, I have some screenshots, but nothing extraordinary:

^Cool screenshots! Let me put you for 09 as you requested.

I think were just going to use the stock textures, since everyone has a lot of enthusiasm for them.

@C3N09 I meant sticking to theme, like Dooms 1 & 2. If you want to get two consecutive slots and link them, that's fine by me.

That's what I don't wanna ;). I claimed a slot above.

[Moustachio]

@C30N9 How about slot 10, since franckFRAG requested slot 09 earlier?

[franckFRAG]

C3ON9 can to take the slot 9, it does not disturb me to take the slot 10 ;)

[Moustachio]

Before anyone starts mapping city maps, please take a look at this sketch I did:



This is what the city looks like. Try keeping those locations and the appearance in mind when mapping. As far as texturing/theme goes, I explained it in the OP.

EDIT: Also, I would now like to request musicians for this project. Please PM me if you would like to be a musician.

Hooray for vanilla megawads! The best kind.

[C30N9]

franckFRAG, I'm really sorry for taking your slot. If you thought about swapping it won't be a problem.

No don't worry, keep the slot 9 :)

[DeathevokatioN]

I'd absolutely love to contribute to this project, but I'm tied down with other stuff at the moment. Hopefully this'll still be around when I'm finished a bit more of my own personal workload.

[duncan]

I'm loving the amount of vanilla megawads emerging at the moment; long may it continue.
Good luck with this project!

[C30N9]

Argh, still no ideas for my map, does anyone have a good source of inspiration?

[elic]

Having trouble coming up with something for the secret level. Can you switch me to MAP13?

[Sigvatr]

Is it going to star Leonardo DiCaprio?

Nope. But I'm thinking of ideas right now.

[cbronson]

Heh, I just love this idea generator:
"kill a lot Icon of Sin which guard a soulsphere,
kill a lot Cyber Demons,
kill ridiculous numbers of Spectres and
kill a few Icon of Sin "

[C30N9]

I forgot that I have a ready old Techbase map. Although it is linear and fits the early slots. Wanna take a look?

[Marnetmar]

Fuck it, I'll take MAP13. What's the ideal difficulty?

PC got MAP13 before.

Oops. Is MAP14 open?

Go 4 it.

[Moustachio]

@C30N9: Sure, PM it to me.

@Marnetmar: The ideal difficulty is around an Evilution level.

[Marnetmar]

Excellent, I'm on it.
