DoDfag here.
I think I'm finally done with my map.
I'm doing a couple of test runs to make sure I'm not being stingy with ammo and health while still being fair and fun and also looking for bugs and missing textures.

I think I'll share it here one more time for gameplay tips to make it more fun.
I did my best to apply what little I know about game design to make a fun map (avoiding frustrating situations, not being cryptic, not making the player feel he's in an impossible situation, teach through gameplay how things work in the map, etc)

There ought to be a roleplaying mod for Doom multiplayer that isn't fucking trash. Something like a multiplayer dungeon crawler, with more emphasis on player interaction than mindless killing like in those shitty Coop or Survival servers. Perhaps have it so that only certain classes can get to certain areas, or something of that nature. It'll never happen though, because Zandronum's community probably associates all roleplaying with furfaggery,

>> No.4590759

>>4590753
Now that I think about it, this would be pretty fucking cool in general. Have it so that there are two "teams", one team being the players, the other being a dungeon master. The dungeon master has to place monsters, npcs, traps and items in certain spots of the map. He can take control of an NPC or certain enemies to provide the character's extra challenge. Sort of like a hybrid between Dungeon Keeper, Hexen, and Dungeon Master.

Ever since D4T, he made the difficulty menus so weird, where you have like different version of hard and medium, that are related to the amount of enemies in a level, so those options are also related to how the stuff actually works.
What's worse is when these two mods were made with accessibility in mind, which is why they're playable on phones.

So there's something I've always wondered and thought it would be fun to discuss: What do you guys think the overall demon hierarchy is in Doom? Possibly including the exclusive ones from 3, 4, and 64.
Who would you say was top dog? Icon of Sin, Spider Mastermind, Mother Demon, or Maledict? Does the Cyberdemon outrank any of them in your eyes?
Lost Souls are apparently at the absolute bottom of the pecking order but everything in-between with Revenants, Mancubi, and Imps really fascinates me. What do you think the chain of command is?

Also: do you consider Arch-Viles and Summoners to be the same thing?

>> No.4590957

>>4590947

A bit more than that, really.
Doom Delta is actually the very first Doom Bible project to actually be released and not die a terrible death.

what I'm gonna end up doing is cutting down shell damage (on both the shotgun and SSG) to 96, and making it so you can slam-fire both fire modes of the shotgun. dunno if I'll nerf the grenades, since half their purpose is to keep the shotguns useful when you're in a map that buries you in cells and rockets (same reason the flamethrower is damn strong).

that way I won't really need to worry about swap-cancelling the reload, as it'll be about the same speed as slam-firing, and the method I'm gonna use for slam-fire accuracy will be the same as the pistols. and it'll help bring the shells in line with bullets. very particular about that 96 number too - I balance towards 67% power as well as 100% power, and at 67% power, that's 64 damage, still enough to oneshot an imp.

also, I'm gonna give the shotgun a visual and audio makeover. it sounds weaker than the pistols do. that's awful.

I find it very fun in small deathmatch/duel servers, but unfun in crowded dm servers because of the sheer amount of shit going on at once, and unfun in singleplayer/co-op, as it feels all the weapons were designed with pvp in mind

Alright people, I think my map is ready. Is playable from beginning to end, should be balanced, should be fun, should be a nice experience.
Please tell me everything you have in mind: design tips, fun tips, bugs or missing textures that I missed, anything.

https://my.mixtape.moe/ytklho.wad

Some little tips:
There're items in the middle of the trees at the beginning for those who explore.
There's always at least one way to cheese potential hard rooms.
There's a secret hidden, just one. Look for a weird texture. That's not a mistake.
Monsters like to sneak on your back.

This is actually my first Doom map but not my first attempt.
I tried my hand at making maps almost ten years ago when I was 16 but back then I just didn't have the brains and patience, I got frustrated too fast.
My first attempt was a map based on Land of the Dead and gave up too soon since I wasn't able to replicate what I imagined.
One year later I got the idea for a Dance of Death wad which stayed the same all these years: A dude trapped in a temple in the middle of the woods, owned by the undead having a party. Since he was still among the living he had to pass trials to earn his freedom.
Now I finally was able to finish this thanks for GZDoom Builder being made for dummies like me in mind and you guys for helping me with scripts and MAPINFO, you made it possible.

>>4590965
Oh I'm totally not winning, not seeing the winners of the first contest (one of them being fucking Xaser, a pro) but I just hope I made a fun experience. Not too many wads are based on songs. Besides, this is literally my first map and I went too ambitious for it but thank you very much for your words anon.

The way I see it from top to bottom:
Demonic Voice (NuDoom)
Icon of Sin
Maledict
Spider Mastermind
Mother Demon
The Titan
Cyberdemon
Baron of Hell
Hell Guard/Guardian
Hell Hunters (Helltime, Berserk, Invuln.)
Hell Knight
Arch-Vile/Summoner
Cacodemon
Sabaoth
Bruiser
Vagary
Arachnotron
Mancubus
Pain Elemental
Pinky/Spectre
Wraith
Imp
Maggot
Revenant
Hell Razer
Possessed (Shotgun Guy, Commando, etc.)
Cherub
Tick/Trite
Lost Soul

I don't think strength 100% determine a demon's rank (despite evidence to the contrary) and I feel like anything remotely human is valued pretty low with the exception of Sabaoth. If the enemy type also come in swarms, there's a good chance they're not valuable as well.

>> No.4591194

It's a randomizer mod where the gimmicks are an inventory system and the ability to use most of the enemy's arsenal
There's a controversial add-on called LCA which adds "Legendary" monsters and weapons, and the creator of the mod has shown his ambivalence towards it quite a few times. This add-on is very popular with the zandronum community.
I don't know why Z& always has populated servers for it at all times, but it does.

>> No.4591195

randomizer mod ala colorful hell with lots of monsters, weapons and items, because all the servers are survival, it's pretty much a gamble if you make it or not (eg: a legendary monster appears in front of the spawn point making you eat shit).

Yes, precisely. Fortunately, it was a matter of changing "allow jumping" from "default" to "on".
Great map all in all, had fun playing it. You might want to reconsider enemy placement in future maps tho, I killed the cyberdemon without shooting at it, just letting him infight. For those kinds of encounters it is best to spread enemies and make them come from the sides.

Yeah I was worried about the final Cybby fight but in general he never was too difficult so I thought I could at least make that fight amusing with all the infight and the different mini armies.

I'll totally check that mancubus, he usually gets stuck wherever I place it.

I thought outright disabling jumping was better because literally telling you in the wad with a PRINT or HUDMESSAGE script is almost like "I didn't fix this part so please don't break it".

To be honest, other than the homing attack, the Vore fills more the long range powerhouse role of the Arachnotron. Boners, unless used as turrets, prefer to be close range brawlers that also happen to shoot homing missiles sometimes.

Ok I noticed a couple of other stuff I can't believe I missed.
Once you clear the last arena of enemies I forgot to texture the door behind the wall that lowers and also to unpeg its textures.

Also maaaybe I was a bit too stingy with the shells by the time the players reaches the last maze.
And finally the stuck mancubus, yeah.

Also as a little note, as I said before the last fight was designed with infight in mind since the Cyberdemon is easy no matter what so might as well acknowledge it.
In the craziness of this battle it literally looks like a Dance of Death.

The thing I was never able to fix were the polyobject doors, I found no way to keep them open so instead I gave them a bunch of seconds before closing. You'll notice it if you hang around that area more than you should.

Also did you find the secret without IDDT?

Sadly, I used IDCLIP, because I usually try to stay away from water-like floors, even if they're not damaging.

I think I started to go a bit low on shells halfway through the maze, yeah, but I think you could drop shells here and there to encourage exploration.

It does look like a Dance of Death, I found it funny how many enemies there were at once.

I redid the weapon descriptions, I think this is a decent hint that berserk should affect the chainsaw. Also new version on the weekend unless I find out that it's terribly broken. New shit includes:
>Weapon descriptions
>Better chainsaw behavior on Demons/Spectres
>Enemies recover from being afraid faster (mostly), but still scare at the same rate (fear falloff when afraid/not afraid is now split instead of based on the same number). No more mancubi wandering around for half a minute from fear.
>Menu changes (for the better), can now set player and enemy tracers in a more coherent fashion
>Archvile can no longer summon unlimited hordes, and supports only 6 guys max (killing them will free up slots)
>Minor balance changes to some other stuff
Getting very close to a 1.0 on this. Probably going to cut down and generalize the AI/monster base I made and release it so everyone can use it if they want.
Anyhow, I seem to always post these right before hopping straight into bed, which is what I'm doing. If I can make it satisfying I might also see if I can make a "monsters Only" version but that'll be a bit tougher since I'd have to totally rework fear to not need to rely on weapon fire as a supplement for that version.

Alright, everything should be alright now.
I forgot some silly things as making the last door... well, a door. Now the map should be bug free, everything should work as intended and flow naturally and also no more tight situations in the maze. A couple of boxes of shells make these fights more manageable.
If most of you guys think the map is fine now, I'll submit it tomorrow.

This would be the complete package: map done and tested and the corresponding .txt file.

Thank you all for the scripting help, testing and giving ideas to make it more fun. You made this happen.

Reason 1: During testing, the devs kept getting good at the game, and thus decided "Gosh, this is too easy, we should make it more challenging!". You'd see this mindset a lot in Japanese platformers of the 80's and 90's too.

Reason 2: the damage scaling for difficulties is actually bugged. On higher difficulties you take less damage, and on lower difficulties you take more damage.

Aside from having the damage scaling fixed, I kind of like how harsh the game is.

But yeah just putting in some shapes and see how they evolve, think about what they loosely might be or what purpose they serve, doom mapping can be pretty abstract though so you don't have to adhere to much realism. The freedom is refreshing but can leave you stumped in the beginning I think.

Then when I heard that it had an actual term and had a reddit stigma attached to it I was like "WHAT THE ANUS???"

Out of 13 maps there are only 3 that are remotely non-linear. And even then they still lock you in combat area. All levels lock the doors to important places until you finish the combat, so it's quite the opposite of what you say.

probably needs a lot of work but i want the map to be good, yes?

madness combat is very room-corridor-room but i don't want to make rooms and corridors for the sake of rooms and corridors. i've gotta figure out a way that sticks to the madness combat architecture and feel whilst also playing as a nice doom map. There IS multiple routes, however.

I also have to work on the second floor for the auxiliary buildings and the underground. Still, the second floor for the main AAHW Demon Research Base is nearing completion.

You don't need cutscenes to tell a story if you actually put in some fucking effort. Cutscenes are the laziest possible way to tell a story in games.

It screams "I have no idea how storytelling in videogames work, so I will instead treat my players to an in-flight movie and hope they don't die of boredom."

You almost never need cutscenes. Narration, objective text, interactive dialogue are better storytelling tools 90% of the time and Doom supports them vanilla (see Strife). Hell, with some effort you could add item descriptions Dark Souls style if you're so fucking inclined.

I mean, fuck, consider how Doom 2016 does storytelling. Cutscenes are MINIMAL, there are what, five proper cutscenes where control is taken away from you in the entire game?

Honestly, old games used to actually put some effort in their storytelling, shit like where Castlevania starts putting lab equipment to foreshadow Frankenstein, or how System Shock 1/2 basically invented enviromental storytelling. But of course Kojima had to go and fuck everything up with MGS, and now everyone thinks story=cutscenes.

I'm currently playing Zero Tolerance for Mega Drive, an interesting little shooter that is generally somewhere between wolfenstein and doom in rendering technology, but what it lacks in rendering technology it more than makes up for with way ahead of its time level design.

The game is essentially split into 2 levels, a space station and a die-hard style skyscraper, and you are free to come and go up and down floors as you please. I don't think the engine supports rooms over rooms, so it's swapping the levels in memory when you go down or up a staircase. Still a really impressive game, and as you go down the skyscraper the perspective on the skybox even changes.

If you haven't heard of this game, I highly recommend it, but that's not why I'm posting. The russian community for this game is massive, they have a level editor, a hacked version of the sequel (you can find a beta of it, with fucked up levels, and music), and some custom level packs. Any Russians or Zero Tolerance fans here know where I can find this stuff? My russian googlefu is weak.

You missed most of the story.
Read the codexes and watch holograms. UAC is parody of modern corporation and corporate culture. It's careless, stupid, kills its own employees... and all of that is unnecessary because solar, nuclear and fusion energy could EASILY sustain human energy needs. They went into hell for no reason at all, other than some moron thought they could make more profit and disguise it as 'betterment of mankind'.

Doom 4's subtext is about rage... rage about the entire thing. Rage that it happened. Rage that the world is in this ridiculous state. Rage that we let this happen. Rage that noone is gonna do anything about it.
It's a helpless rage, too, as it's not like UAC or Hayden are held accountable. Olivia Pierce is removed, but she will just be replaced with someone more loyal, and Doomguy is trapped. Corporate greed that LED to this happening in the first place (represented by Hayden) wins, and persists.

He is released from his imprisonment and gains his "Praetor Suit", the man the moniker "Doom Slayer" after singlehandedly bringing hell to it's knees, and couldn't be killed, requiring an elaborate plan to capture, and seal him. Making his way across the Martian surface, he enters an industrial building that houses a satellite. After re-aligning the dish array, he hopes to learn the source of the demonic invasion, and preps himself to stop it.
>Dr. Olivia Pierce is the antagonist of the game, apparently responsible for enabling Hell's invasion, swayed by the promises of power.[3]

this is not story

you can do better.

doom 2016's story is funny and self-aware, but as story quality goes, it's complete wank. it knows it's wank, and that works in its favor, but it's still utter wank.
when it comes to telling story, environmental storytelling does barely anything except as foreshadowing or as theorybait. trying to use it to tell a tangible story does not work because people react in different ways to different images and will have different interpretations of how things happen, leading to theories rather than actual storytelling.
strife had a cool fucking bitch-ass story, but holy shit that dialogue system is so fucking bad and it's so easy to lock yourself out of areas entirely by accident. the engine is practically choking on itself on the dialogue system and anyone that's ever tried to modify it knows how awful it is.

yes, complex plot doesn't equal better, but i'm not talking about complexity, i'm talking about cutscenes and how they can be used to deliver story.
battlefield earth and finding nemo are both pretty much 100% cutscene by virtue of being a movie, and finding nemo's cutscenes are better with better writing, better acting, better direction, and better portrayal of environment and character issues.

And like I said here - >>4593160
Finding Nemo also has a simple plot, but it was nominated for an Oscar for best screenplay.

Simple stories can be good and resonate with people. "Capcom school of writing" is when backstory and writing doesn't actually affect the things that happen in the game - e.g. it's not like Cammy's personal issues with M.Bison ever influence gameplay.

But in Doom'16, your objectives and goals are very directly influenced by the backstory and current story. So, you're wrong.

the original argument is that cutscenes are bad and that doom 2016 had the best way to tell a story by over-reliance on environmental storytelling.
the counterargument is that, no, doom 2016's story was pretty bad. it was bad and funny and took the piss really well, but in terms of actual story quality it was (intentionally) piss. environmental storytelling is extremely limited both in what it does and how it can actually tell a fucking story.
strife's story was good but that was despite the medium of its storytelling, the cutscenes that it had were a better way of doing that than the horribly-implemented dialogue boxes.
system shock 2's cutscenes were the strongest part of the game.

Ah, Zero Tolerance, I played that a year or two ago. I found it oddly compelling, an extremely ambitious game.

>Still a really impressive game
Yeah, it does some flashy stuff for being a Wolf style corridor shooter on a 16 bit machine.
Makes me think a bit of Rise Of The Triad for all the neat features it has. It's very detailed, walls you can damage, blood splatter sticking to walls and slowly sliding down, etc.
I also liked how when you killed enemies with flamethrowers they'd turn into smoldering and smoking piles.
The snipers on the rooftop was a really cool thing too, like they'd only be able to shoot at you from certain positions, and they were an animated part of the sky texture, which was a really clever way to pull that off with a such a simple engine, they were really thinking outside the box to achieve all sorts of features.

Wish there was a proper port on PC with a higher resolution (and mouse turning).

Had a lot of redundant items, too. There's nightvision goggles, which help you see in the dark, that's useful sometimes. But then there's the flashlight, which just sets the brightness of blocks/tiles on the middle of the screen to fullbright. I mostly found nightvision earlier on, and held on to it for when I needed it, and then later on I would occasionally find flashlights, despite the fact that nightvision wasn't that rare.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I'm going to assume you're younger than me. Back in the mid-90s through early 2000s, people put flashlights in their games because that fullbright trick fooled a LOT OF PEOPLE into thinking you were doing real per-pixel dynamic lighting.

Games like Arena and Daggerfall on DOS used similar tricks to do full per-pixel dynamic lighting, but you obviously can't do that on console.

Uh, that is my exact argument against regular plain canned cutscenes, that they don't utilize videogame medium...

>> No.4593268

>>4593197
That's.. not a cutscene? You can still interact with the game, and stuff while it's going on. As a real cutscene - actual movie - there wouldn't be as much of an impact if it wasn't interactive and you couldn't watch as your world is LITERALLY falling apart and replaced by omnipresent Shodan that is on the floor, walls, ceiling... watching you. You turn away, but there's still Shodan. That is what makes this moment unforgettable - interactivity (in this case that just mocks you, and underlines that you are only her helpless pawn).

So System Shock 2 reveal was stronger BECAUSE it was more interactive and better utilized videogame medium.

Bioshock reveal was weaker because it was LESS interactive, as its interactivity was limited to pressing "play" - it's initiated by the player but not much else. So audio logs are only slightly better than cutscenes.

I don't call just for ENVIRONMENTAL storytelling - again, that's just one way you can tell story through gameplay. Interactive sequences like the Shodan reveal or similar sequences from Half Life 2 - you could easily replace most regular cutscenes that take away player's control with that.
And we were talking about cutscenes specifically in context of taking away player's control, since this is the specific feature (ability to take away from player and change camera angles) of GZDoom we were discussing. So these first-person slightly interactive sequences don't count and I'm not talking about them - I'm a huge fan of them honestly.

Example of something you can do in these sequences that you can't do in regular cutscenes with pre-programmed camera - you can leave other stuff for the player to notice. For example, CoD4 Modern Warfare's opening sequence let you freely look around and focus on ANY of concurrently occuring sequences (people running away, execution of dissidents, militiamen walking around). That'd be impossible in a cutscene, and is only doable because of interactivity.

There is a right way (System Shock 2, Your CoD example, MGS3, Half-Life 1), and a bad way that is boring, stilted, and awkward, where you tell instead of showing (Doom 4, Doom 3, Half-Life 2, Bioshock).

The audio logs in Doom 3 convey way more than the cutscenes in Doom 3 or 4 ever did, but that's not because cutscenes are bad, it's because Doom 3 and 4 have some real lazy terrible cutscenes.

And yes, Half-Life 2 is bad.

Yeah, that's exactly why Half-Life has it too.

Gamers were super impressed with dynamic lighting coming off of flying objects (fireballs in daggerfall, rockets and stuff in quake) in 1996, and flashlights got a similar effect much cheaper. PS1 is ground-zero for this, the pseudo-per-pixel dithered fullbright flashlight in Silent Hill 1 is hilarious. You aren't really controlling a light source, you're controlling a lens flare that selects pixels on the floor and wall to change the brightness on.

The B&W SHODAN pic makes me wonder about an N64, Acorn Archimedes, or Sega Saturn port of SS1. The Acorn Archimedes port would mostly be spot-on. The N64 port would have a different soundtrack and require the 4MB expansion pack, and most voice audio outside the intro and ending cutscenes would be replaced by textboxes. Due to the N64's many buttons, it wouldn't be as tedious to use the interface and toggle patches. The Sega Saturn port would run on a different engine and have the PC soundtrack + CD audio logs intact, yet be more of a hassle with even support for the 3D/NIGHTS controller than the N64 port due to the very nature of the game.

As someone who used to think you could port Daggerfall to PS1 (you can't), the biggest problem with any DOS game with roleplaying elements is saving. Consoles didn't have hard drives, which is a big part of the whole design of japanese console RPGs. Instead of saving an entire characters stat page and his progress through a bunch of different areas that are interlinked, you gate him with the storyline so you only have to keep track of who he is, and then you use predefined characters so you only have to put their ID and level in the save, not all their stats.

You could port SS1 to PS1 or N64, but an N64 version would have ugly muddy textures, a PS1 version would have texture warping, and both would require writing a hardware rendering engine.

And then, it'd take an entire memory card to save.

No one would buy it.

True. Though both a PSX and Sega Saturn release could come bundled with a memory card as part of a limited edition sale. Also, you don't see Animal Crossing fans complaining about how the Wii and Gamecube titles require a hefty amount of memory on like, a memory card.

The problem isn't total ram, it's the limit on the size of any one texture. The n64 is designed essentially to stretch tiny textures, we're talking textures the size of an SNES sprite, over large areas and then cover them with really basic anti-aliasing to hide it. This is why random N64 games look muddy. There are two ways around this, you either make things flat colors then shade them, which the console is great at (mario 64) along with some general low detail textures that don't look bad stretched, or you build a model out of flat shaded polygons like mario, then map tiny ass textures onto it for every individual body part (Banjo, Zelda 64). To my knowledge, and I did 10 minutes of googling before I typed this, the ram cart doesn't increase the size limit on single textures, which means that games that use hi-texture mode are just loading a shitload of tiny textures into ram and then just arranging them to look like a normal texture map you'd have in the PS1 and PC games ported to the system for the Expansion Pak (Resident Evil 2, Brood War). So essentially to port a game like SS1 or even Doom 2 to N64, you'd have to split every wall flat into 16x16 blocks that the CPU would have to arrange into a grid at a massive performance cost. This is why Doom 64 is so blurry looking, they didn't do this.

Go watch a video of Goldeneye, then a video of Zelda 64 to see what I'm talking about. Focus on faces. I'll admit to being the guy in the goldeneye thread right now calling it a bad game and the n64 a bad console so you know my biases.

>Sega Saturn and PSX release
>bundled with a memory card
wouldn't work. Animal Crossing worked because it was a massively hyped game that Nintendo could guarantee sales on because Nintendo controls exactly what their fanbase gets hype about and buys, and have done so since at least 1987. Animal Crossing type games on non-nintendo hardware would be very expensive, and sony/sega wouldn't have covered it because no guaranteed sales.

>> No.4593547

Continued from my last post because I hit length limit:

>Hardware Rendering
Hardware Rendering means you're using a 3D graphics mode present on the hardware. Software Rendering means you've written your own engine that runs in the CPU that generates what graphics to show on every frame, then dumps them to the screen. If you work on a system without explicit 3D support, (DOS, Sega Genesis, SNES games without SuperFX, Famicom, Game Boy), it's the only way to do actual 3D.

Daggerfall on DOS in 1996 software rendered a couple of effects that 3d hardware engines barely got around to implementing 2 or 3 years ago, (outside of ID games of course, which had most of these features since 2003, still this was using OpenGL and software trickery.)

The tl;dr is if I'm making a 3D game for DirectX or OpenGL or PS1, I'm writing in C and I'm directly telling the hardware what to draw. In a software engine, I've written a program that just dumps its output to screen, and I hope and pray too much stuff doesn't happen at once, or I'm going to drop to 4 FPS.

In more Doomy terms, the first game most people played on PC that was hardware accelerated was Quake, which is why it was so big of a deal and overshadowed games like Daggerfall.

A lot of old software engines did color inverting and pallette swapping tricks to "fake" lighting and atmosphere, while not to the extent that Bethesda games and System Shock used them, Doom had dynamic lighting.

Since it's hideous destructor, I assume you're talking about the rifle ammo. There's two types of it. One for pistols and SMGs (I think) and one for the Z66 assault rifle. The former type shouldn't be mixed with the Z66 because of some backstory in the manual (tldr it's just shit to make you more miserable) about conflicting caliber standards or something. You can still load the wrong ammo, but the HUD will glitch out and not give you an accurate reading on your remaining mag capacity.

The answer is that it doesn't work well.

I'm compiling a list of ideas for interesting enemy encounters for Doom maps/maps for similar style of FPS (Quake etc) because I don't want combat in my maps to be just "here is a room full of imps, kill them all".

This is what I currently have so far - anyone else has any ideas? And yes, some of them are taken from existing Doom maps, I'm trying to think of any ways you can mix up Doom's combat.


1. Hitscanners around a corner. Peek out, shoot, go back as they shoot at a wall, rinse, repeat.
2. Projectilers fire at you from a distance, as you dance around a certain floor area to dodge their attacks.
3. Melee enemies run at you from opposite end of the room, you have to take them out before they get close.
4. Battle royale! 1 or 2 hitscanners, big group of projectilers and handful of melees all have a go at you at once. You have to kill the hitscanners first, then any melees that are immediate danger, then the projectilers.
5. You are set in a middle of a room, while enemies shoot at you from above with projectiles. You need to survive for a certain amount of time - OR find a way to kill them all.
6. Hitscanner maze. Maze filled with hitscanners, player is given ample weapons to kill anyone on sight, so whoever shoots first - wins.
7. You are inside a set of columns, facing off against a siege of hitscanners. Maze is designed to give you barely enough cover, BUT also so hitscanners will constantly accidentally hit each other, causing infighting.
8. You are temporarily stripped of all your weapons, and you are being chased by a horde of demons to a place where you will be given your weapons back. Then perhaps you are lifted just outside their reach, and free to mow them down with impunity.
9. In a dark room, you're set upon a sorta-maze (pretty spacey though, so you have maneuvering space) filled with spectres.

TBC because list is too long to fit in one post.

>> No.4593805

>>4593797
I have no coding knowledge and am just shooting in the dark here, but from the looks of it I'm guessing that it "sees" all the geometry and finds a path based on recognizing walls, sectors, and how they connect to one another. It goes in a few circles and seems to be doing a lot of scanning as it moves about, so I'm guessing it's processing and learning the area while remembering where to go and what to avoid like damage floors. If it hits a dead end it goes back and doesn't return but if it keeps finding a new area to explore it'll keep going, it might even be exploring based off automap data.

>> No.4593806

>>4593804
9. In a dark room, you're set upon a sorta-maze (pretty spacey though) filled with spectres.
10. You land in a big room filled with cover, surrounded by hitscanners on a gallery. After you kill all hitscanners, most of the cover disappears, room widens to reveal a row of projectile users you have to dance around. Then, when you kill projectilers, all walls and cover disappears, to reveal a small horde of melee enemies at two ends of a room.
11. Weapon room! You have small amount of shotgun ammo, you're given a Chaingun and Rocket Launcher/BFG and a handful of powerful enemies nearby - and a small horde of weak enemies in the distance. Ammo is scarce, so use the right weapons for the job! (There is a ammo secret nearby as a mercy if you need it)
12. You're in a room around 4 Mancubuses on a platform, and you have to circlestrafe around them to kill them. Then, the room becomes recontextualized when as you kill them, outside walls open and horde of arachnotrons come crawling in. ... I hope noone thought of that one yet :P....
13. There is a boss enemy - Cyberdemon or Spiderdemon - right there in plain sight, and you don't have the firepower to take it. Luckily, it's standing right under a crusher! You only have to stay alive from enemies going at you and projectiles thrown from behind invisible walls on balconies - until boss dies, unblocking your progress...
14. There's a horde of unaware demons in front of you. There's a pile of barrels spread between them. Evil smirk ensue.
15. There's a ton of unaware enemies forming a corridor, with rows of barrels next to them. You can't attack the demons without blowing the barrels right in your face - and dying. The trick is to run for it and outrun the barrels.
16. Chain of barrels leading to a group of enemies that can't be taken out easily due to walls or distance.

>> No.4593808

>>4593806

17. You have two giant bosses next to each other - Cyberdemon and Spiderdemon, or two Cyberdemons, et cetera. They are way too much to handle, so you gotta lead them to infight one another.
18. A tough projectile enemy is far away in the distance - not very threatening, but it's a good way to introduce them.
18a - melee enemy is at medium distance, after a winding path that will take them a long time to traverse.
18b - hitscan enemy is near you, behind a slit in good solid cover, turned around.
19. You're in a super tight corridor, and a group of melee enemies is running straight towards you. Can you mow them down before they reach you?
20. Group of melee enemies pushes you backwards - into a damaging floor.
21. Group of melee enemies pushes you backwards - into line of fire of hitscanners.
22. You have to dodge projectile attacks on an area strewn with damaging floor.
23. 2-3 Revenants on a pedestal, and a checkerboard of damaging and normal floor all around him in a circle. Can you dodge the rockets long enough without the floor draining your health to kill them?
24. Two sides of a wall - on one side, there's a group of hitscanners waiting to snipe you, so you got to take cover from them. But on the cover side, there's a horde of imps (group of mancubus?) ready to fry you - which you can't touch before you press the switch hidden behind the hitscanner gallery. Corridor behind imps is the way to progress.
25. Simple one - there's a giant group of imps surrounding an Archvile, and piles of chaingun/plasma ammo. You've got to kill the archvile first, or face perpetually resurrecting army of imps.

26. While running up to a lone Gladiator (from Q2 - really, any enemy that you deal by running CLOSE to them) in the middle of arena, trap is triggered that reveals monsters closets all around you.

>> No.4593812

>>4593808
And:

27. There are enemies above you - shooting at you below perpetually, and you can't hit them back (in Doom because of lack of mouselook - in any other games because they're hidden behind a fake wall? Idea needs work...) You need to quickly run through the 'danger zone' to be able to go upwards through a lift, and face them.

That's all I have so far.

Well, the Columbiner dipshits aren't going away in at least 50 years, and they're like the only negative element that would actually attract at all in this day and age, so I don't think you should stop yourself from making a map you think would be cool just because of some faggots.

If you think a school would be a good basis for a map, then make it, it might even be good. One of my favorite maps I played last year was a large demonic university, complete with lecture halls and all.
If it makes yourself uncomfortable, then why not make a scenario for the map where you're rescuing school kids from the demons? Not only would it remove any kind of ambiguity or (fictional) moral question, nobody could complain about it without looking like a really huge fag.

The issue with the 7th slot isn't the soul cube showing up first, but the BFG showing up last, because the Unmaker is kind of the plasma rifle's lost cousin, that even works differently from how it did in Doom 64.

go 2 it gives you plenty of hiding and doesn't even have traps iirc, takes a while to do if you play it safe but it's actually very easy compared to previous maps like map14 and map15 which are brutal in comparison.

14 isn't that bad. 15 is very hard until you figure out the optimal route (snipe chaingunners in front of skybox wall, then run for BFG and Invul secrets to cheese the eastern section), at which point it becomes just average in difficulty.
Go 2 It has a few cheesable traps (Pain Elementals, Arch-Viles, AV+Revenants+Chaingunners) and a partially-cheesable main fight in outdoor area. Problem is, even if you cheese the latter, you still have six Cyberdemons you'll have to painstakingly hit&run through rocket crossfire. Or take a few minutes to cherry tap them with Plasma Rifle from bottom level, which is a lot more reliable, but also a lot slower and can still end with you splattered if you screw up. Or I guess you could just run past them and grab a key if you don't care about 100% kills.

Okay, that's the areas for the keys in place and the set up for their locks.
