Which levels contain the most linedefs in IWADs?

[Katamori]

Just to interest, I'd like to ask you, which IWAD levels have the largest number of linedefs?

Of course, if anybody knows something about it.

Deus Vult and Gothic'99 surely qualify, as do many of the Sunder/Macabreold levels. Jodwin's Jade Earth is not fucking around, either.

IWAD Maes.

The DoomWiki has linedef counters for all the IWAD maps, you could take a look through it. I have a feeling the answer will be a TNT map.

On a slightly unrelated note, TNT Map19 has the most sectors at 489 :P

[GreyGhost]

Map28 of Freedoom (0.7) with 9,893 linedefs.

I wouldn't consider linedef count a good estimate of a level's complexity. For that I'd choose number of active (non-decoration) things. Linedef count rather says how much detail is in a level.

Here are the levels with the most linedefs in Doom 1:

E1: Central Processing: 1352
E2: Spawning Vats: 1764
E3: Unholy Cathedral: 1416
E4: Fear: 1644

Normally, it's E1M6, E2M6 (or M5), E3M6 (or M4) and E4M6 which are the most complex, for having the most monsters.

I would have guessed E4M9, a pretty fine standard of detailing can be found on that level
