Ozonia Boom Megawad - on /idgames!

[Deadwing]

 

Ozonia is the third mapset of the Moonblood series, containing 32 carefully designed short maps with compatibility level 9.

It's my most ambitious project by far and hopefully the most refined of the trilogy! It's heavily inspired by Plutonia, but it has its own flavor to create a refreshing and unique classic Doom experience! Eviternity, Ancient Aliens, BTSX series and Monti's work are also other big influences.

 

The levels are as difficult as Eviternity with very low enemy count and strategic setpieces, but early E1 maps are going to be easier to allow a nice learning curve. As expected, exploration will take a large role in these maps, but I worked really hard to make them as straight forward as possible so the players won't feel lost.

 

The wad will feature two new enemies:

- Hierophant: replaces romero's head and it is a mid-tier flying demon which fires a mancubus shot and goes berserk if it takes a shot.

- Hellion: replaces commander keen and is a fast moving low-tier demon that shoots three plasma bullets while moving himself.

 

You can download Ozonia RC1 in any of the two links below. Both are the same wad, but Deluxe contains the soundtrack in MP3 format.
If you are playing Doom with "Microsoft GS Synthwave" soundfound, you should download Classic, which contains the soundtrack in MIDI.

No version is better than the other, as long you use "Microsoft GS Synthwave" soundfound for the Classic edition!

The mapset will be tested on prBoom+ and ZDoom 2.7.1.

[Aquila Chrysaetos]

I found a couple small issues almost immediately in the first map.

It's easy to softlock yourself by running onto that pillar and getting stuck in the teleporter loop.

 

This platform raises too far, at least in complevel 17, it might be worth double-checking.

 

I liked the first map, but I didn't really feel the next.

I'll continue playing it soon and provide some demos when I can.

[Deadwing]

Thanks a lot Aquiles!
I changed the linedef to WR teleport (monsters only) in the first bug and fixed the second one.

[Fuzzball]

Unable to extract the rar? Every time I download it says it's corrupted :/

[Aquila Chrysaetos]

That's strange. It worked fine for me.

Out of curiosity, are you using 7Zip? That's the program I used.

Also, here's a link to my drive:

ozonia.zip

 

If Deadwing wants me to take it down, I will, but I'm putting it here for the meantime. This archive should be fine.

[Fuzzball]

Just good ol' WinRAR :/

Thank you though, that worked! :D

 

@Deadwing The stuff under "stonecrap" was made by me~ That was just the name of the folder/wad! :)

Edited December 4, 2018 by Fuzzball

[elend]

Wonderful. Another great looking WAD for my never ending backlog of things to play. xD I hope I'll get around to it eventually. Does it feature music made by yourself again?

[Deadwing]

Thanks a lot, again!

 

I've fixed the link in the first page, so it's now a .zip file instead of a .rar. Can't believe I've made that mistake again >.< Thank you so much @Aquila Chrysaetos for providing a link with a better format >.< @Fuzzball, I've fixed the credits for the texture :D Thanks @elend! There's indeed lots of good to appreciate lately. All the tracks in this wad are made by myself (some from Exomoon), but no new-track for now. I might make some new tracks, but for a further release for now >.< haha

[hawkwind]

General : a)May I suggest you use Boom linetypes 261 and 213 in your maps.

 

             b) This mapset could use many other Boom line and sector types. If you don't already have it boomedit.wad is very useful ...

 

https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/themes/TeamTNT/boom/boomedit

 

One example is at map02 sector 81. Try this if you like ...

 

1. Give sector 81 a tag, number 16.

2. Give line 933 line type 261 and tag number 16.

3. Give line 375 linetype 213 and tag number 16.

4. Save and see the result ... :) .

 

========================================

 

map01 -  line 265 should be impassible.

map02 -  line 1156 should be impassible.

map03 a) -  showstopper - It is possible to be at sector 105, run/leap to sector 206 and fall down into sector 207 - trapped ! A suggestion is to make sector 207 secret and place a teleporter here. b) Using fwater1 at sectors 96/235 didn't look good to me imo. Note too different sector floor heights.

map04 - Remove lower unpegged from lines 1491/1499. Sector 248 is not a door.

map05 - a)Note that lines 1018 and 1014 use the texture doorblu2, which shows a skull. I used the keycard to open door sector 117. Boom can specify whether a skull or a keycard of the same colour can be used. b) Lower of lines 837/838 should probably use the texture sfall1.

map06 - Nothing to report.

 

... all for now ... and yes, I'm enjoying it. :). Anything else to add I'll mention here.

 

maps 7 to 11 ...

 

map07 - a) ceiling of sector 86 should have the flat mflr8_4b to match sector 84 imo.
Map08 - a)Wrong floor flat at sector 64 b) It is insinuated that a red key/skull is required to open door sector 172, but it is not required.

c) Wrong floor flat sector 15.
map09 - a) Lines 269/270 need a lower front side texture, as sector 39 lowers to the floor height of sector 38, not sector 292. b) The lowers of lines 1380-1383 would look better with plmudrk1. c) For the sake of zdoom and Risen3D, lines 999 and 1005 should be flagged impassible.
map10 - Line 308 should be impassible.

map11 - all good.

 

Good job.

Thanks, hawkwind! I'll take a look at the issues when I get home from work :D (later today)

I hope you're enjoying the wad!

Very accurate description! It was hard to stop testing this!

 

Played the first three maps with GZDooM. On MAP03 you can press linedef 1076 from below

Spoiler

 

[Deadwing]

Glad you both are enjoying, SP_FACE and hawkwind! I've fixed most of the stuff you've pointed out. I didn't know about the 261 and 213 linedef trick D: It looks much better now, no more random lit ceilings lol! I also added an extra-secret in map 3, located where you could get yourself trapped!

Oh, I definitely would like to see a playthrough of it :D

Thanks a lot, HAK3180!

[wolfmcbeard]

I like this, the music on the first level is real nice as well.
I will need to finish this when I get back from the store since I died on map two, but going off the first map, this wads going to be in my Doom folder for a long time.

[Deadwing]

I'm glad you've enjoyed it, wolfmcbeard! 

BTW, if you guys find something it not well balanced (for example, some encounter is way too harsh, or there's not enough health) or there's some pacing issue (levels look too much like each other, too much arch-villes/revenants fights), tell me :P

 

@hawkwind, thanks a lot for the later levels feedback, I'll fix the issues you've found. :D

Edited December 6, 2018 by Deadwing

[hawkwind]

A couple of late issues courtesy of doombuilders error checker ...

 

map 05 - missing lower tex line 1068.
map06 - missing back-side upper textures lines 103, 1360, 1361, 1363 and 1364.

[gaspe]

fdas for the 1.1 version recorded with cl 11: ozonia_gaspe_fdas.zip

 

Nice mapset. I liked many things in the layouts, I can still see some bits inspired by monti here and there. Plus the gameplay focused on the RL against mancubi and arachnotron reminds of Mano Laikas. The various platforming over the pillars was fun. I didn't spot bugs, on MAP10 the linedef 308 should be impassable. If have to make a couple of complaints: the revenant at the soulsphere secret is bit of a dick move; on MAP11 all the avs encounters inside the ring started to get stale at the end. I recognized some music from Exomoon, it was pleasant to hear it again, though I would change it for the next wads :S

[riderr3]

Vines and mossy bricks never gets old!

[Deadwing]

Awesome, thanks a lot for checking the issues, @hawkwind!

 

@gaspe, thanks a lot for the demos! I didn't have much time to watch it, but I'll do during the week >.< I'm glad you've enjoyed the levels, hopefully there wasn't too much annoying monster placement haha!

@riderr3, Plutonia never gets old! :D

[Deadwing]

Ozônia has been updated to version 1.2: https://www.mediafire.com/file/fdf9v5q4zomo74b/ozonia-1.2.zip/file

 

It features some small bugs fixes and balance changes based on the feedback provided! Thanks a lot, guys! :)

I recommend downloading it if you haven't played or finished the whole set yet!

[leodoom85]

@DeadwingGonna upload my stream soon here. So far, I enjoyed the first episode, with lots of traps and....lots of revs and archies, a trademark of yours at this point.  

Ah...what caught my attention was the fact that the rocket launcher is heavily used at the start of the mapset, which is uncommon in these types of maps really. 

Will do another stream in another day. Also, I found a missing texture, you'll see...

Edited December 15, 2018 by leodoom85

[leodoom85]

The VOD. Sorry for double post...

 

[Deadwing]

Awesome, thanks a lot @leodoom85! I haven't watch the stream yet, but I'll do it asap. I'll probably have to pace things a bit better, especially regarding arch-ville and revenant placement, so the player doesn't get that "drain out" feel after finishing a map >.<

No problem man. Another VOD is coming, second episode.

[leodoom85]

Second VOD and final episode!!! It was a blast, Deadwing.

 

[Deadwing]

Niice! Thanks a lot again, @leodoom85! :D

[Deadwing]

Just watched the whole stream, thanks a lot @leodoom85! Some rather ugly bugs in some maps haha, especially the sky on 9 and the sleeping chaingunners in 11 >.< I'll also reduce a bit the quantity of Arch-villes and Revenants (especially), replacing for other monsters as long as it keeps the gameplay fresh and fun. It might be interesting for me to review ammo balance, so the player isn't always with 50 rockets lol

 

Anyway, it was really fun seeing you find most secrets and only dying once or twice (i guess it was on map 10 only) :D

[leodoom85]

Yea. Map 10 was special cuz breakfast lol...

Also, keep in mind that I didn't used the chainsaw at all to save even more ammo or berserk since some maps don't have one.

[Killer5]

@Deadwing

Yo. I played through your wad. It was a fun time. There are a few things I noticed in version 1.2. The following things were found using prboom+ cl11. prboom+ supports sky xfers in cl9 so this wad might be boom compatible but I did not test it.

- in map07 you do not need the rsk to open the rsk door (where the viles are on their raised area and spiders ambush you).

- in map09 this appears in the sky:

 

Here is my stream (starts at around 3:45):
