Doomworld Omega Project 2018 Proposal

[therektafire]

Lol it is like Eagle vs Pigeon all over again :D I will probably make a map for this after I get through with the 4800 hell knights one

[Misty]

Well, I would like to see established rules and make a small map for this year, as I feel that I have more experience in mapping than the last time.

 

[jazzmaster9]

Ahh how did i just see this now :) might dust of my unfinished map that i was suppose to make for DMP 2017.

Shame to see the original become yet another Boom-Vanilla project (for this year atleast).

So the GZDoom-compat half of DWMP2018 is going to get made after all this year, just under a different label?

 

I can dig that. Heck, it means we can submit two 'dwmp-like' maps this year if any of us feel inclined. I see this as a win all around.

As long as we don't get sniping and arguing back and forth like we did with Eagle vs. Pigeon.

@Pegleg A couple of minutes ago I compiled the DMP, I'm just waiting for your map. ;]

And you should have it tonight, sometime in the next 12 hours.

Actually having 2 compatibility levels for DWMP is actually a pretty good idea, I don't get why a limit removing/Boom map would be lumped in with a GZDoom map when that means the lowest port you can play the compilation in is GZDoom, especially if there is a hub map which is a GZDoom feature. Imo there should always be 2 compilations, one for vanilla like (doom/boom format) and one for more advanced formats like doom in hexen and UDMF, that way people can always play the levels in the port they were actually meant for

As far as I know, you can play a megawad with different map formats in your port of choice. It will just throw out an error once you hit an incompatible map type. And the maps have been arranged in order from the simplest(vanilla) format, to more fancy GZDoom stuff.

[Walter confetti]

But yes, i'm in!

[Eradrop]

Need a break from my personal project. feeling like I'm riding to hard and fast with it, so I wil make a map for this.

[THMG]

Oh, thank the Lord. I was planning on forcing myself to make a map in Boom format for DWMP2018, but the fact that SOMEONE is allowing gzdoom compatibility is great. I don't plan on using any custom resources, I just have a... well, let's call it a thing for 3D spaces and being unable to do that is really a damper on my own plans. Count me in for making a map... but it'll probably be on the easier side. I'd be interested to know what the official limits on custom resources would be for this one, seeing as a few people in the official thread seem dead-set on custom skies.

[Danlex]

Nice! :) I will make a map for this project!

[an_mutt]

The only rule I'm interested in is if I can use custom resources that are all pictures of Kenny Omega.

@StormCatcher.77, I just uploaded my map, within 12 hours, as promised.

 

OK. It was actually about 12 hours and 20 minutes, but the overall point remains the same.

Clarification of time.

[StevenC21]

Kek. I'll probably submit a map later. Thanks for doing this! Oh, and can my submitted map be in .pk3 format?

I'm not yet saying that it can't, but I wonder what benefit you are expecting from using a pk3 format. Unless submitted maps will actually rely on some highly specific features that only work in a pk3, the project compilation will be made in wad format, so your map would eventually be put into a wad anyway, and it'd be better if you did this yourself in the first place rather than letting it to the person compiling the project.

[StevenC21]

@scifista42 Nah, I just like being able to use directories.

[obake]

There should be a rule that each map has to have at least one furry, otherwise there won't be enough furries in the Cacowards this year.

[Sasha]

The rules for Doomworld Mega Project 2018 are very strong.

Because some mappers ask for new weapons and maps will be ZDoom-compatible, for  Doomworld Omega Project 2018 it may be change rule "DECORATE is allowed for new things only...".

Also if mappers would like to use some custom monsters, weapons , ... (with sprites) they will be post them separately for compilation the general DECORATE.

[riderr3]

I wish good luck to those who will make an hefty efforts to test and compile WAD at the end of the year 😉
