/vr/ - Retro Games

I am making my first ever Doom map guys :)

I've tried to get into level editing so many times over the years but never had the patience to get into it properly. I tried making Doom maps a few years ago and though the editors I tried were just confusing, needlessly obtuse pieces of shit.

However I downloaded Doom Builder 2 and got to grips with it in like two hours just from reading an FAQ and fucking around. Here is my map so far, I only started it last night. I am trying to make it more of a retro doom feel than the SLAUGHTERHOUUUUSE type maps you tend to get these days.

Any pointers chaps? I've noticed some wierd behaviour with the sectors and assumed maybe I just don't understand it properly, but nobody can seem to explain it any better. For example when I tried to create some raised platforms in a sort of stairway in the large area to the right of the map, I ended up making whole sectors just disappear somehow. Not sure I get what's happening there.

This is fuuuun :)
