Post Your Doom Picture (Part 2)

[scalliano]

Remember, it isn't a competition. No matter what, there's always going to be someone out there better at mapping than you. Best to not sweat it and just do your thing.

 

It took me to finally realize that in order for me to pick up mapping again.

Parts of map 04 of Cursed. Looks like it can be used for an art gallery to me.

The project, well both, it looks like something vanilla-ish but it might be configured that way in ZDoom so, yeah

[nxGangrel]

It's meant to be boom compatible (level design wise), but if I manage to screw it up enough it may as well be for zdoom. I can't playtest on eternity due to some type of error in texture folder (which I don't know why), so I don't know how well it would work on anything that isn't zdoom. Feel free to call me an idiot.

Oh please keep it boom compatible if you can! I was asking because I was interested and ZDoom or Eternity or whatever are not my "type" of port 

[nxGangrel]

Isn't eternity based from boom?

If boom compatability is the goal, try using PrBoom+. :)

Indirectly. EE is based on SMMU, which is based on MBF, which is based on Boom. But there's more differences between SMMU and EE than between Boom and SMMU.

There's nothing wrong with them and I didn't say I dislike them, it's just that I prefer other ports like Crispy Doom or PrBoom+.

Fair enough. I'm trying to figure out what the stigma about Zdoom is from other people =)

Perspective is everything and this place in game is so beautiful for me. Sadly, I won't experience this as random player, who doesn't know anything about map and will never ask me how I suffered until I've got required shapes.

I love that room, Haruko. the only thing I notice is that the ceiling looks a bit plain, but the walls and everything else? Gorgeous!

I'll fix it. I'm just putting action lines,traps and monsters(of course testing until my eyes bleed in blood) to be sure if I don't miss anything important. Testing phase is draining my motivation and sanity.

Hey, theres nothing to fix. this is your map, design it how you want. if you want to change the ceiling, go for it, if not, leave it as it is! I dont spend my time in doom staring at ceilings anyway =D

Well, perfectionism is making everything harder. Mouselookers would complain about plain ceiling. I just trying create something enjoyable for everyone, not only for myself. Well, I almost put what I wanted here, but I'll put some more things and send it to people privately if I need change something and start draw last section of map with exit.

yeah perfectionism does that. but honestly, people should be focused more on the gameplay, and the rest of the room looks great. I mean, a simple suggestion would be to simple put some different heights on the ceiling, that'd keep most people quiet.

It has height variations. It's hard to see here,because I put player on windows to get this screenshot. Maybe some lights could do the trick here. But now,I'll let myself rest a bit from mapping.

I reckon it's three reasons:

 

1: Many maps that target ZDoom do a lot differently to vanilla Doom (custom monsters, weapons, scripts, etc. etc.) which some people don't like, so as a result the source port itself gets lumped into the same dislike.

 

2: Because (G)ZDoom supports a lot of advanced features, even if you don't play with them turned on some people don't like the feel that they're even options.  You can set ZDoom to look basically identical to Crispy, but because all the other options are there it just doesn't feel the same.

 

3: ZDoom's underlying engine was rewritten, so there are a variety of very small, subtle differences to the vanilla experience.  Individually they're not huge, but add them all together and the overall feeling is just a little different if you're really used to how something like Crispy or Chocolate feels.
