So far I have removed this sound, because it seemed to me annoying. Maybe I’ll come up with something with him.

Oh, okay. FWIW, I did think it was a bit loud.

Doom, by the way, at an early stage was considering the possibility of their own warning lights:

This is pretty raw, but can be improved.

By the way, is there any levels plan?
 

Personally, I am firmly convinced that map 07 at 0.4 is a "Recreation and Training Center", albeit in a somewhat truncated form (a large lift upstairs, changing rooms with showers on the sides, a circular room upstairs should be a training room bordered by a

running track. Like a cinema - obviously a declared church/theater. A room with something like a stage/tribune - a club).

But in 0.5 it was already reworked into the "command control" we know. Does this mean that the idea was discarded, or it was planned to create another map for this - apparently we will not know.

That from alpha 0.5, which will become map 10 in Doom 2 - obviously the barracks aka "enlisted quarters" (albeit poorly detailed). Another question is that the purpose of the remaining (completely empty) premises is unclear (which is aggravated by the fact that in the Bible there is no detailed description of this). Although it can be assumed that these should be other appropriate premises, such as dining rooms, rest rooms, etc. (who knows how this could have been accommodated at this later stage?). In addition, it initially contains nukage tanks/pools, so the final name of this as "<spaceships'> refueling base" may refer to that it was indeed merged with the above.

Have you checked Beta Labs? I think this may actually be a version of what you are aspiring for that you could actually play. I've not studied bible but if you google beta labs reviews, there will be ones with comparison to the originally intended levels.

Keep up the gud work my man!

To be honest, I haven’t even fully decided which alpha map corresponds to which one in the bible. More precisely, there are several levels, the purpose of which I am still not sure about.

@_Mud, I think I have posted bs above, sorry about that. I was referring to the onemandoom review this thread already links to, but after seeing your question I've had another look and it doesn't seem to have any of that. Must have been reading a bit too many wiki pages at the same time...

[SLON]

Doomwiki has clear description

Plus E3M7 as ex-E2M1, of course.

And full episode 2 scheme.

The doom bible you all know is actually just an early version of it. The full illustrated version has never been published openly.

[_Mud]

Few little things:

• Added some animated textures.
  
• Changed the sprites of some weapons.

Glad to see this still go on, despite what little log update there is.

I just played through the first level of this and love how big it is, hopefully this comes back soon with another update (or maybe I'm looking in the wrong place for updates on this, I'm not the best at figuring things out)
