Doom 2 In Name Only - Now (supsiciously) on a load of gaming articles

[CorSair]

Huh... Not really sure what -complevel I use, since I never bother to use/type that. :P
I use GlBoom in recordings... But the setting "Climb steep stairs" might be the culprit.

Sorry for the bump. How is this going? I still have the beta, how have things gone lately? I'm keeping my eyes on this, it's a really interesting project. Do you think it's going to be ready by the end of this year?

PS: I have the same question about TNT2 and D2TWID, but didn't wanted to make three posts about it, so, any info?

[Tristan]

I think we're just waiting on an updated MAP24, and when that's here we can go to a real beta, not the alpha that I called a beta last time. Hopefully we've ironed out most of the bugs, but my D2INO folder is only getting messier :P

[Antroid]

I'm just waiting for map24 to magically finish itself. I think I saw it move a couple days ago, we might not have to wait long.

As a TNT2 playtester, I can say that TNT2 is unlikely to get a release this year, theres still a few maps left and the soundtrack to be sorted out, along with a lot of playtesting, both singleplayer and multiplayer. It is as they say, when a project is 80% complete, your only 20% done.


I get the feeling this project is only waiting on Antroid going by the thread title?

[Antroid]

Pretty much. Which makes me feel really nice and comfortable and not pressured in any way. :X

[Tristan]

Sorry, that's not what it was supposed to do. I've removed it.

[schwerpunk]

At least you don't have to worry about Antroid wasting time with over-detailing. XP

Don't worry, I wasn't actually upset by the thread title, I'm just constantly ever so slightly distressed because I'm keeping this project frozen and it's not even like I'm really working that much on the level. By the time I get home from work I can't be arsed, and on weekends I usually have things I'd much rather do than replay my level over and over, testing and tweaking the thing placement. At least I finished the little visual/layout changes I wanted to do. If only I had the courage (and/or nerve) to get doom and db2 on my work PC, I'd have been thrice done already...

[mouldy]

i think maybe map 07 might be getting some tweaks as well. And not sure if joseph has completely finished with map 16, it looked like it was pretty much done barring a couple of fixes.

Be good to finally get our hands on map 24, it looked pretty cool but its the only one i havent played properly.

[scifista42]

That reminds me, I should start doing the tweaks :)

I'm starting my last high-school year with a maturita exam in the end, which... requires preparation. And I generally have a lot of other (non-Doom) things in mind - where the biggest of these things is a huge "emptiness" heh. Also besides Doom I'm now very impressed by Wrack. That said, I may have less time this year but will definitely try to get my part of work done soon, and would like to take a role in UDINO too :), as I enjoy mapping a lot.

[Tristan]

Heh, you just reminded me of my intention to do 2 maps for UDINO. I pre-claimed them when discussing the topic with Jay :P
I've already got a neat idea for one, it involves a collision of two realms.

[scifista42]

You don't have to tell me now which are those two levels, but definitely let them being stated right once the thread will be started (eventually). Because right after I'll find out an UDINO thread is started, I'll rush in and scream for a certain map I already got special ideas for, the most name-fitting ideas. Unless new rules would ruin the ideas.

[Tristan]

I know Jay said in this thread that he's going for more direction with the maps, but I think essentially it's going to be pretty much the same guidelines. It was more just enforcement stuff like the Cyber/Manc/Spider and BFG rule on this project.
I'd imagine when he puts the thread up, his maps and my maps would be pencilled in on the initial list. I want to make my later map a big one.

[elic]

So, um, any progress on compiling the final version?

[Tristan]

No. Perhaps the time's coming I need to do something about that. Not entirely sure what.

[mouldy]

Would be nice to get this project finished, its so close to being all done. Still waiting on final tweaks to 7 and 16, and a playable 24.

If mappers are too busy or stuck then don't be afraid to ask for a hand.

[_bruce_]

Map24 looks interesting, hope a helping hand chimes in.

[Antroid]

I'm somewhat happy to say that I've gotten back into the old Doom mooD and I'll start vigorously testing and adjusting the gameplay of map24 after work on the weekdays. I'm determined to finish this fucking map by myself, it's already been hella embarassing how long it's taking, especially after I barely made it into the map slot initially (and considering that all this time I've barely touched it at all)...

[Devalaous]

Its been so long that I honestly keep forgetting about this project's existence. Sorry Eris :p

[Tristan]

It's fine, I forget about it too :P
Cool to see MAP24 is going to be finished up soon though

[Katamori]

...wait, is that still unfinished?!

GOD DAMNIT ANTR...I mean, please hurry a bit Antroid.

[scifista42]

I need to hurry too. I barely touched the map (MAP07), only to make minor changes in monster placement (and not sure if they were for good). In the end, it may be actually my map delaying the project as the last. I'll try to not end up like that, though.

See? Not my fault after all :D Besides, you can't rush creative genuis a lazy person.

[Katamori]

You may know me well enough for now that I'm joking only. :P

Just think about that I didn't move a single linedef in Somewhere in Time for about 3 months!

[Tristan]

Your jokes are just disgusting.
SiT is progressing faster than Eridian Twilight will be in coming months :P

Ouch :DDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[Antroid]

I don't even have to say anything anymore, people are already indoctrinated enough that they make my comments for me. Mission accomplished B-)

[Tristan]

Which is kind of ironic, given you've just passed 1000 posts :P

I wonder which will come first, MAP24 or the huge Boom map I'm working on :D

[Antroid]

I'm thinking the Third Coming.
