100 lines (final link now active)

Might try this as well, curious to see what I can come up with.

[Ribbiks]

I made a map. It's not much to look at, but turned out surprisingly entertaining imo.

^ Nice. Music stopped right as I reached the exit, too, which felt pretty cool, heh.

[Memfis]

^ fda. Looks like a TOD map heh.

[dobu gabu maru]

Fun stuff Ribbiks, smart use of using switches as midtextures to save 2 lines. Creative ending too, I was not expecting opposition.

[Dutch Doomer]

Some progress I used 69 lindefs so far. So a lttle more to go for new areas.

[Archi]

It's made with Doom2 config, but I think vanilla will crash.

Be prepared for some really boring stuff.

[Ribbiks]

^^ horrendous gameplay aside, that map has some serious blockmap issues. plenty of enemies that don't 'see' you, plenty of walls you can clip through. also last room brought glboom+ -cl2 to a crawl. What was this tested with? o.O

[Archi]

It was tested with prboom+ cl2.

Edit: Sorry, looks like I forgot to config DB2 to test with complevel 2, so it was tested with default complevel. So yeah, there is problems with cl2, I see, but cl9 works fine.

@ traversd: See for yourself, I don't mind shooting weaker weapons as long as I'm not forced to do it for too long.

@ Katamori: your map crashes prb+, so I played it in zdoom to take a look. Please fix compat issues.

More FDAs.

Contains demos for maps by Memfis, Ribbiks and Archi. The last one is failed, I was pretty close but couldn't evade spraying rockets while backtracking. Never was Touhou Project fan, heh. And of course Ribbiks' map has very tight ammo balance, I guess I was deviating from the intended strategies once again.

[Ribbiks]

Ahh ok, ignore my previous post then Archi, it works perfectly in cl9. That's interesting, I didn't know that kind of stuff was affected by complevel as well.

not sure if serious or subtle jab at a previous comment of mine :p

I'm still coming to grips with the notion that forcing a player to handle encounters a specific way through ammo restrictions probably isn't fun, give me enough time and I'm sure it'll sink it :)

It's got 100. I think Travers just wanted one more for something.

I think we also have:

Scypek2
joepallai
Memfis
Ribbiks
Archi
GRB again

[scifista42]

You all guys who already submitted a map, I admire you how quickly you can make functional maps. I'm fiddling with my map all day and now, in the evening, I finally finished the layout. Exactly 100 linedefs, all actions assigned, but still needs a lot of work on thing placement and texturing, which I won't probably manage to do today.

Here are two screenshots to prove the map actually exists. As I said, texturing is not definite.

It was to activate the lift a different way. Funny thing is that I've gone over the map a bit now and worked out some ways to use less linedefs, and now have a couple spare that I am a bit stuck trying to work out how best to use.

Look at those right angles go

[Dutch Doomer]

I haven't poperly tested this, so it might suck big time. Not too bad on the design I think. Its a mini slaughter map, I never attempted a slaughter map before, so I'm not sure if its done properly. I call this map "Slaughter Dis"

Just as well I said Boom-compatible then, since that trick would not work in vanilla :)

I've added links to all the maps to the opening post, up to and including dutch devil's (except hex11's, since it has 167 lines).

[Walter confetti]

oh well, 18 maps already? Cool! This will become a megawad, if the map number still increase....

[Capellan]

I'm going to do at least one more 100 lines map, maybe 2.



I like to just think of this as a collection of maps that happen to share a specific set of technical requirements :) "community megawad" is a pretty loaded term, with lots of baggage associated with it, so it is an expression I prefer to avoid unless someone's going to step up and handle all the headaches that go with it (it won't be me :) ).

At some point we can bundle these all up into a single zip and upload them to idgames, but I really don't mind if they're still all separate wad files within that zip. That would also make things easier if we end up with more than 30/32 of these, or if anyone does an Ultimate Doom map, rather than a Doom 2 one, or if maps need different complevels for some reason.

On another note, it occurs to me that making a 100 lines map that has both a normal and secret exit would be an extra special challenge.

[Memfis]

don't upload my crap to idgames please :)_

[Capellan]

If an idgames release happens, I'll post a request for permission before hand. No explicit permission, no upload.

Here's my complete abortion of an attempt. This is hard. I made everything out of triangles (yes, even the doors) in a desperate attempt to save lines but doing so just made the map even more terrible.

Fun map. The broad geometry and enormous scale of it reminded me of the levels by purist's son Dylan :D
