The Official 'Trying to Find a Specific WAD' Thread

[ChrisDoom]

ISO a WAD

I've been going back and replaying old WADs and enjoying the fun and memories, but there is one I remember liking a lot but I'm not finding.

• The timeframe is likely 2012 and earlier (and maybe even 2014 and earlier)
• Most of the WADs I downloaded back then came from the Cacowards.  I've looked through them several times, but I cannot find what I'm looking for.
• I think it's an island/jungle theme.  
• I don't remember a lot of tech graphics in it.
• There is a lot of water in it (ocean, rivers) and you have to get to different parts of the map by walking through the river (but not all parts of the map)
• I think it opens with you on a beach and you walk down it and find some huts and then a greater civilization (but still mostly/all stone).  Looking through old WADs I had downloaded, I find I might be confusing the WAD I'm looking for with Realm of Cheogsh (which opens on a beach and you move down it to larger structures).  However, the WAD I'm looking for takes place in the daylight and is very bright and RoC is a night time WAD.
• There are temples and, I think, some canyons (but I might, again, be conflating some different WADs)
• It's not Temple of the Lizardmen 2 or Vanguard.  It's not an Egyptian theme.

I don't know if this is much to go on, but any help will be much appreciated.

Hi, I'm unable to download "Mek's Box 'o Skies! - v3". I checked the thread, and unfortunately all of the links seem to be dead. I checked the Wayback Machine, and Wad Archive and /idgames w/ no luck...

 

Thanks for any help! :)

This is from 2017 so it might not be what you are looking for:

Thanks! For some reason, though, I keep getting a 404 error from that link. Tried multiple browsers and everything: "The requested URL /mekastuff/wads/boxoskies/ was not found on this server."

Is it possible that someone can upload it via a different way? I know its 66 megs and is larger than the 25MB size limit, so I'm not sure how that works.

The Best Icon of Sin map thread rekindled a memory of a fight where Romero's head is flying around the perimeter of the map on a scrolling floor that can be temporarily stopped via switch. After that, the details get kinda shaky. It's a medium-large arena with some decently large buildings in there. I'm pretty sure it was also a community project and Boom comp, though this was a few years ago when I still played exclusively with GZDoom and therefore paid little attention to compatibility.

That sounds vaguely like a map from one of the Abyssal Speedmapping Session compilations (which were Boom compatible). ASS 30 had a Romero Head theme, but I don't think it was that one. For whatever reason, if it's the map I'm thinking of, I think it was somewhere in the mid- to late 30's or early 40's (those were released in 2018).

[Keyboard_Doomer]

Not sure if it's the requested map but I was able to find the one based on Pegleg's info:

abyspe38 MAP20

 

The map doesn't seem to actually work in the intended Boom compatibility. I had to use GZDoom, otherwise the Romero's head was stuck.

That's it! I had melded MAP19 and 20 together over time, it seems. Plus, MAP17: When Push comes to Shove, is something I'd remembered several times since. Fighting in a voodoo doll labyrinth is a really interesting gimmick.

I'm looking for a pair of maps, but maybe they are some false memory... Anyway, the maps I'm looking for are:

• A map titled "kindergarten" or it have something to do with that word, i tried to look it at idgames but I found nothing, but I remember to have found it on idgames!
• Another map(set?) that i recall it was for skulltag and for Deathmatch, i recall some sprites with cheering marines and one marine in particular doing the air guitar, that's the most vivid memory of this map. I kinda recall the cheering crowd been locked into a small stage, arena itself was some kind of tech base with a orange sky (maybe the one from UD?)...

A few years ago I hinted at this while doing my Vick Bobkov homework but found the smoking gun while poking around old review sites. I am looking for Virgil the DOOM Poet's AfterDoom, which @Lüt reviewed for Team Insanity. This is the review in question and the PWAD apparently required two .zips, both named at the top of the page: adm1.zip and adm2.zip.

Looking for a couple of old @Phml maps:
TriflingOld.rar - Trifling (Mediafire)

GoldenEye2013ee3.rar - GoldenEye 2013: enhanced edition (Mediafire)

Flow.rar - Flow (Mediafire)

That second map almost sounds like something from the “Dodgeball” mod that existed in late Skulltag/early Zand era, I believe CaptainToenail was heavily involved with it.. I’ll look around and see.

Looking for the wad from the 90's that has the soundbyte "Season's over asshole" (from the movie "Cliffhanger") when you die. Can't remember if it was a multiplayer map, but i don't think it was. 

Thank you!

I know this is 2 months late, but in case no one has told you, the older DWANGO wads fit this bill (not at home so I can’t check which ones, but I’m thinking 1-3..)

Trying to remember a wad where monsters had rarities, with blue/green being some of the lowest and black and white being the hardest and most rare. Could someone help?

Well while I'm here

 

I remember a wad that included a level with a short Beavis & Butthead clip in a cinema.

Any ideas on what it is?
