  • The /newstuff Chronicles #296

    Bastet Furry

    By Bastet Furry

    Welcome to the newest /newstuff, a little late by one day, but here it is.
    Your host today is your fluffy lion BastetFurry, so let's start, and I hope I don't need to play all the bad ones :)
    I test if the maps run inside the stated port, but I playtest the maps inside ZDoom, so beware.
    And please be merciful with any mistakes I made today, I caught a cold and my brain spins from too much aspirin and stuff.
    By the way, happy anniversary. *g*

    Bloodshedder says: I have no idea what he's talking about here. But I tried to fix all his bad English.

      Nice overall map, but health is a bit sparse and i had to cheat my way through the red door. Might be my stupidity, or this needs to get fixed.

    • CDoom bsp - Carlos

      Some BSP tool for CDoom.

      Map editor(?) for CDoom.

    • Core - Jake "The Nutcracker" Stevens
      ZDoom or GZdoom - Solo Play - 5295 KB -
      GFX, sound and weapons ripped, packed together with some bad mapping skills. These 20 maps have the feeling of being thrown together, this one would have been good 10 years ago but nowadays it has a bad aftertaste.

      Oh no, not one of these tribute maps... NEXT!

      Some stupid weapon mod with guns painted in MSPaint... NEXT!!! (Where's the good stuff damnit!)

      Skulltag - Solo Play - 41 KB -
      Now that is fun, just after I thought there is nothing good left I get this little fella. If you like invasion style maps then this is for you, I hope to see some score-screenys soon, might as well start a little hi-score compo out of this :)

    • Das Labor - Hannes Müller
      Limit Removing - Solo Play - 250 KB -
      This map glances with a high monster count (2136) and somewhat advanced architecture. But that's all. Unless you like slaughterfests, stay away. And by the way, Duke3D, even if its only the music, makes me angry! If you want to squeeze some fun out of this map then search for SUPRWEP8.DEH and blast away. Some words to the author: Lass das nächste mal deine Schlachtefeste auf deiner Platte und arbeite lieber an sowas wie Gameplay. Danke.

      The pain! Please people, before you upload your crap to the archives, think twice if your map is worth the bytes it occupies! And next time, state that this does not run inside normal Doom/Boom!

    • Lock and Load v.4C. - pilotobombadier
      EDGE - Solo Play - 696 KB -
      Cool-made weapon mod for the underdog of ports, EDGE. The graphics are well drawn and the weapons are balanced. Give it a try.

    • Legacy of Belial - Zalewa
      ZDoom - Solo Play - 4636 KB -
      I don't know who pissed this dude off, but it must be some reviewers and someone named Belial. For the map, very high monster count, I think this is only doable with iddqd or in coop, reminds me of these toke maps, but not in a good way. Same as I said with Labor, grab SUPRWEP8.DEH and blast away, otherwise don't download.

    • Onslaught DM 3 - Hobomaster22, Ak-01
      Limit Removing - DM - 2310 KB -
      I have had no deathmatch partner, so I can only say that these 21 maps look rather nice and that the layouts will make a nice and fair playground.

    • Scanning Electron Microscope - Paul Corfiatis
      doom2.exe - Solo Play - 49 KB -
      Just look at the screenshot, not much more to see here, waste of server space. Next!

    • Xuta's Doom Stuff (Pistol Version) - Xuta Woo
      ZDoom - n/a - 3 KB -
      A mod that lets you start with fists and that makes the zombies drop pistols. And for completion a viewpoint modification that sets the viewpoint some pixels higher. Download if you need that extra kick, otherwise: NEXT!

    • Shades of Gray - Walter "Daimon" Confalonieri
      Boom Compatible - Solo Play - 146 KB -
      Nice little map some might play while they wait until the coffee is ready when they wake up.

    • Synapse - Jacob H. Orloff
      ZDoom - Solo Play - 190 KB -
      Tough map, had to "resurrect" twice, but nicely done, even if the end is a bit lame. To the defend of the author I assume he forgot to set a bit, so, if you die in a small area you can't escape; you are done.

    • Gyrotechnics - Tango
      Limit Removing - Solo Play - 137 KB -
      Another small map someone might eat for breakfast, all in all nicely done.

    • The Unknown Invasion - Forty-Two aka Stewboy
      Skulltag - Solo Play - 156 KB -
      Some nice invasion maps that will keep you on your toes, give them a try.

    Still no Austerity review? :(

    I played Austerity. Only Austerity for last two weeks. Very accurate map in Q3 style IMO (there are visual borders around of any element of geometry) I played without savegames and had no problems with ammo and health. I like if I can finish a level without savegames.

    I say this is worst of newstuff chronicles which stinks with one-line reviews congratulations on writing crappy reviews!

    Btw when you go to review the wads, how do you know which ones need to be reviewed? Doomworld's idgames only have 5 latest files and I can't seem to locate a list of recent wads :(

    Enough?

    Zalewa said:

    Um, Bloodsheeder?
    Because he dosnt has any reviewers?
    Because most in here are just some Asshats who just want and wont give?
    I am not good at reviewing, maybe because i am not the type to write a thousand words about the same thing. If something is good then its good, if something smells like shit then it smells like shit.

    Zalewa said:

    Not unless Bloodsheeder fires me.
    Maybe the next NS i do could be done with someone else.
    I do the short review and another one will do the "story-lenght" review.

    It can be worse when you come back after, say, two months and need to check which wads were released during that time. I used to check tNC's but now I see this method isn't reliable because sometimes even the links to wads are not given because they are "1994 wads" or updates and you need to "go find yourselves".

    Now I'm trying to check newstuff at least once a week or so.

    Ah ok. I'd like to include any wads that were missed last time, like that cyberdemom fisting wad, my dark doom mod and Tormentor's over detailed whatever it is etc etc :P

    Serioulsy, who the fuck are YOU?

    Take it or leave it, it's a newstuff... I don't see you volunteering to do newstuff. It's hard work to put together a GOOD review for a bunch of projects, and we can be grateful we have even summaries of the maps.

    Your WAD wasn't even worthy of a review.
    Go away and never come back!

    Damn, Scuba beat me to it.

    What kind of review did you expect? Your level sucks.

    I think I could have done better, but I'm kinda out these days...

    I think someone should let BastetFury know about HR style maps and there are people who actually enjoy them without a super weapon mod.

    My post didn't got deleted so I now know that there are no noobs on doomworld forums.

    zap610 said:

    Please stop making wads. Thanks...

    Uh. I will never stop.


    BTW. I believe Gyrotechnics was great and it seems it "deserved" small review too. Gyrotechnics also might be/is (select one) a proof that (according to txt file) Belial actually knows something about what makes levels good. Anyway it's still Tango's great job.

    whatever, kthxbye

    Tango's Gyrotechnics (t-gyro.wad) is a good map I think. It is linear, but fun to play, especially on UV skill. I liked the challenging ammo/health balance. The detail is just a bit overdone, but it still looks neat.

    Well, I'm sure the next week will be better.
    Why does it always seem like we should be a /newstuff chronicle 320 instead of /296?

    I volunteered because I love Doom and have nothing but free time on my hands, but he politely told me no. :'( I'm still up for it.
