>The decoration and detailing far surpasses anything else I've played so far, but the lighting is WAY too dark; it probably wasn't designed for software rendering.
I wasn't considerate of software, no. Is that an issue just for the first half of the map, or for all of it?

>The level is way too hard for skill 2. I quit recording my skill2 run just to make sure I didn't accidentally put it on UV and to make sure the level actually has difficulty settings.
I haven't done as much balancing to it, so that makes sense.

>There are way too many chaingunners and the rooms are pitch-black, so while the map looks great, it's no fun to play because of the chaingunners.
Noted.

>Also the items in the coffins look cool but are almost impossible to pick up; you can't just walk over them normally.
Alright. Didn't know that Boom would do that.


>And I can't test the map in GLBoom because of the INTERPIC crash. I could edit the thing in Slade to remove it but I'll still be fighting lots of chaingunners so I'm gonna skip map02
:(

>>6644986
I have fixed doors in Trifecta for 2048 units, it's a beautiful level that I don't want to be rejected for not working: >>6644882

Testing levels in zDoom, not even once.

So blood is my childhood memory and one of my fav games, if not the fav game ever, and i speedran the game for a fair bit too, and i just completed cryptic passage for the first time ever, and i just wanna ask what the fuck are all these levels in this expansion pack? Its so fucking bad, only thing i liked was kinda the ending of castle the last level and even then the 'final fight' was kinda underwhelming and boring

>I'm on map03, and I have to say, WHAT THE FUCK? Here's my demo so you can see my frustration:
https://doomshack.org/uploads/AnonMap03skill2.lmp
I've only played a handful of /vr/ maps, and only three of yours, but I'm pretty confident from what I've seen thus far that your maps far exceed anything else from /vr/ in terms of aesthetic quality.
Well, uh, I've fucked around a lot with Doombuilder before way many years ago, but mostly as a form of doodling, this is the first time I've made conscious efforts towards gameplay.

>You're obviously an experienced mapper,
Uuuh...

>which makes me very confused as to how your maps can be so terribly broken and unbalanced. Do you only play in GZDoom with mouselook?
Pretty much, which I know is a failing. I was probably overestimating the vertical auto-aim. For the balancing, I made what I figure is enjoyable, which is when the author of a level is a dick to me, and forces me to maneuver or to seek cover.

>The starting section with the stairs has an imp that you cannot see in normal Doom which causes you to get scratched repeatedly on your way down.
I should probably clear those guys entirely.

>The cyberdemon set piece looks incredible, but the four pinkies trap you and if you are not aware of how to bait their attacks, you will die instantly.
I forgot about infinite height, probably. Ideally, you should run as you hear them wake up, but I guess for lower levels I can ditch them.

>And the spider mastermind section. What the fuck? Really?
Well, you're supposed to hit the switches to mash him, and you can use the switches to take cover from his fire. I can probably tone down the other monsters.

>Also the fence things don't render correctly in PrBoom, pic related. Remember the maps are supposed to be BOOM-COMPATIBLE
I did not imagine Boom would render those as solid black. Why is that anyway? Can I fix it?

>>6642762
Thanks mate! The pillar archvile encounter was an idea I wanted to implement for a long time, both that and the elevator trap required some voodoo doll fuckery.
I admit the wind trap is shit but I couldnt think of anything else and it was close to the deadline

>>6644061
>Map07 is more of the same - way harder on skill2 than any other anons' maps on UV. Sometimes people just want to chill and play and not have to tryhard.
Fair enough. Again, I made what I figured would be a really fun challenge for me, but I have mostly neglected lower skill levels.

>Playtest these yourself in PrBoom
I guess I'll have to.

These are great criticisms by the way, harsh, but fair.

By the way, I'd like if the criticism for 07 could be elaborate on some more.

Where's the fucking wad.

I had to wait an entire extra week for this shit and now it's another day late reeeeeeeeeee

>>6645130
You'll have to play them separately for now, like some kind of pervert.

>>6645026

Will Boom shit itself if a single texture is like a couple thousand pixels tall/wide?

Am I the only one who thinks Hollywood Holocaust feels like a nighttime level, while Red Light District feels more like a daytime one? Despite the same night sky.

I updated the difficulty settings in Maniacal Menstruation. HMP and lower should be reasonable now.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/1rb4zasbypczw5m/Maniacal%20Menstruation.wad?dl=0

>>6645317
I've never really thought about it, but the outdoor area in Red Light District is substantially brighter than in Hollywood Holocaust.

It's too bright, isn't it? It's brighter than the indoor areas. That's the problem.

>>6645202
Why would you do that?

>>6645359
Just a thing I was pondering. Would it?

>>6645375
I mean, I could test it for you and find out, or you could just test it yourself.

>>6645202
>>6645359
>>6645375
>>6645398
Didn't Deus Vult II do just that?

>>6645335
Red Light District might be my least favourite map in episode 1. It looks uninspired, and saved by the topless bar area only. Even the bar itself is meh, those long hallways separating the actual parts make zero sense.

Update for the set of four, tweaked some for difficulty:
https://files.catbox.moe/zswvy4.wad

I'll have to give it a run proper in PrBoom soon, but I'm busy with a couple of other things too.

>>6645536
>>6644986
FORGOT TO LINK, FUCK

>>6644986
>>6645325
Why do I keep forgetting to do this?

So, my standalone project is at very least running now. I need to finish off writing GAMEINFO and make a player class. Second stage would be to implement weapon and an enemy, third stage would be explosions, at least two more weapons and two more enemies, more textures (including non-placeholder sky) and then I would be able to make some kind of actual level.

>>6644986
Updated my map a lil bit.
https://files.catbox.moe/cnta4a.wad

I played GHOUL GROTTO by BRXYZ. Pretty good map, I enjoyed it. It might need a touch more ammo but I'm undecided. I got to the end and had only a single shell left for the imp pit. This was while leaving one hell knight and all of the lost souls alive. Granted, I did not find the berserk secret until after my playthrough so this could factor into account. I guess it's up to whatever your philosophy on balancing UV with secrets is.
Something I noticed is if the player triggers the blue/red elevator but falls off, they're not quite softlocked, but the trigger for lowering the elevator is at the very edge of the door looking inwards which seems odd.
Overall, solid map. I really liked the odd texturing stuff you did, like the ceiling in the elevator lobby.

>>6645076
Here is a demo. I managed to beat it on my 2nd try on skill 2 this time but I also already knew most of the map, and I also had some coffee and food instead of playing while tired in the dead of night, which brings up the point that you need more than just one person's subjective experience. Any,way, demo:
https://doomshack.org/uploads/AnonMap07-skill2.lmp
>elaborate
There is no armor on skill 2, and rocket launcher ammo is sparse, and there is no SSG at the start, which means if you use the RL to kill the arachnotrons, that is less RL ammo for the big fights later on, but then you have to sit there and gun down 4 arachnos with the shotgun or chaingun. Also no SSG vs the pinkies so you can use the RL to kill them before you get surrounded but again that is fewer rocket ammo for later. You don't have enough time to kill them all with plain weapons before the other monsters are revealed. There is no health at all in the upstairs sections, so if the player used his health pickups in the first room he is fucked.

I still haven't done any skill3 or 4 play on this map yet

>>6645626
Noted.

>>6643168
has anyone covered "Pointing you the way out"? some feedback would be nice.

>>6644338
Still working on it.

>>6645536
>>6645626
>>6645630
https://files.catbox.moe/6pb290.wad
Updated again. You now get the SSG as soon as you blast the Arachnos, however, you don't get it at all on UV.

TINY FRAGMENT by CHARCOLA
Played UV on PrBoom+. Really interesting level design. Very expansive covering lots of vertical space. It's pretty fun, I do think you could actually dole out less ammo though for more of a challenge. I had tons to spare it seemed.
There are some very obvious texture problems such as misalignments, the wrong texture over the door in the very first room and all the door spaces using brick where something like DOORTRAK or SUPPORT02/03 should be. It's generally sort of ugly overall and doesn't take advantage of GOTHICTX at all.
I'm not sure how I feel about the secret being at the end. It seems like it could just break the next level on continuous play, if anyone plays it that way. Maybe that's just how continuous goes though.

>>6645638
Played UV on PrBoom+. Much better than the first version. I think you could stand to teleport in a few more arachnotrons and mancubus in the courtyard. Or an archvile if you put some cover out there. If you want.
Something I thought about it this time I played it is that without freeaim, you never really get a good look at the hand that supposedly points the way out.

>>6645042
>I forgot about infinite height, probably. Ideally, you should run as you hear them wake up
>Well, you're supposed to hit the switches to mash him, and you can use the switches to take cover from his fire. I can probably tone down the other monsters.
Meet me half-way and watch the demos before responding, anon.
Regarding the pinkies in the cyberdemon room in map03, if you run when you hear them wake up you run straight into arachnotrons and wake up another pinkie AND the cyberdemon, and you have no SSG so the only weapon you have to deal with all that shit effectively is the RL which can cause you to blow yourself up, which you would've seen if you watched the first two minutes of the demo. This is fine for skill 3 or 4 since you can sprint away from them and have enough rockets, but on skill 2 it's not fine since there is a good chance you will get arachnotron'd or cyberdemon'd or surrounded by pinkies.
And regarding the spiderdemon room, there are no other monsters in that room on skill 2, just the spiderdemon, and he can obliterate you at that close range, even with the partial invis, which you have to run up to him to grab anyway (RNG fest) - and his hitbox can prevent you from reaching the final switch altogether.

>I did not imagine Boom would render those as solid black. Why is that anyway? Can I fix it?
I wish I could help you fix the textures but I dunno how. Someone here knows because I've seen that problem in screenshots here before.

This is a Boom-compatible megawad. Test your maps in Boom. Like these anons said:
>>6644839
>Don't test your maps in GZ Doom kids.
>>6644996
>Testing levels in zDoom, not even once.

None of the custom textures are working for me in any of the 2048 maps. Do I need to download them separately?

>>6645696
Yes. And load two wads together.

>>6645686
I made it so you get it at the begging at least.

GATEHOUSE by SPOOKYCACODEMON
Played UV on PrBoom+. Enjoyable level with good progression. IMO, this level would almost be better suited to leave out the SSG. Maybe instead it could be a rocket launcher with limited rockets to be used sparingly. The SSG makes the end of the level too easy I thought.

>>6645727
Oh, I never realized that's why you spawn there, I always hopped off too quickly.

>>6645650
Thanks for the review! I was in a rush and the graphics were even worse before, so I focused on the gameplay and did some very sloppy editing on the last day, only for the deadline to be extended. If I wasn't lazy I would have had made another map or polished it up more in the week extended, but well, I am lazy.

As far as the ammo goes, I am always paranoid about ammo management thanks to playing some of these /vr/ maps where I run out of ammo. And by that I mean not like, out of shells so I gotta run with the rockets and be careful of splashing myself, but just full on no fucking ammo at all, abusing infighting and using chainsaws and punches half the time. Thanks to maps that drain me of the tools I need to shoot in a first person SHOOTER game, I always tend to overcompensate for that. Maybe it's just a dumb ass pet peeve of mine.

I was playing Dark Souls / DSII again thanks to vtubers playing FromSoft lately and was a little inspired by the gameplay, ruins and structures in it. With only the rudimentary techniques I use though it was difficult and slow to replicate good texturing, broken walls and stone so later on I stopped adding all that detail.

I was going to add a custom decorate sprite at the end secret but I was starting to burn out and was rushed, plus I wasn't sure if it would break compatability with non gzdoom/zandronum sourceports (also see: lazy). Maybe I'll work on it some more, thanks for giving the level a try and letting me know what you think.

>>6643168
>>6645638
ANONYMOUS - POINTING YOU THE WAY OUT

I played this one before. You remember what I said - it's clear you just made a 2048x2048 box. 17 monsters on skill 2. 38 on UV.

Verdict: Babby's-first-map-tier. Satanic-Infestation-map-tier. Would recommend putting this in map slot 33+ to keep the good maps in the regular 32-level roster unless something worse comes up. At least it's finished unlike Inner Cloister.

>>6645689
>Meet me half-way and watch the demos before responding, anon.
I know, I'm just busy with a bunch of other stuff ATM. Thanks for your additional input.

>>6645638
It's very... cubic. Try adding some detail and get rid of the 90-degree corners. Switch you shoot to lower the wall needs to be a bit more obvious I think. Lots of gaps underneath and between walls. The elevator up to where the soldiers and shotgunners spawn is too thin. Final fight against the Mancubus is too easy, can just peek-and-shoot with the SSG.

>>6643168
ANONYMOUS - ROUNDABOUT

What the fuck am I looking at? Pic related. Unfinished map with lots of missing textures. Untextured map that still uses the default map editor textures. I just wanted to get out of the level ASAP.

Verdict: DELET THIS.

>>6645021
You just gotta get good. It's a fun episode if you learn how the combat works and try to beat levels in one go than using the quicksave crutch.

>>6645840
I love these brutal reviews anon. Keep at it.

>>6645858
Based rude anon

>>6645591
Thanks for the comments, I've made a small update with some extra shells thrown in (I wasn't sure whether there's enough ammo myself), tweaking the difficulty on lower skills a bit and fixing that elevator trigger to work more naturally.

SEWERS by SITRI
I liked this level. The drop down into the sewer is a memorable moment and I like the big archvile fight. The map is bland looking texture-wise but quite good geometry wise. Could use some detailing. Didn't like getting caught in the poison next to the blue key. You can go up the stairs on the one side but then you're just blocked in with nowhere to go by a baron/hell knight combo. Second archvile fight was weak compared to the first, he wasn't close enough to any bodies to revive them.

>>6645582
I'd like to hear some feedback on this one if you have the time, Anon. :)

>>6643168
ANONYMOUS SLOTH - GOOD BOY'S CLUB

Unfinished map. Doesn't have difficulty levels implemented, but I didn't know this when playtesting on skill 2, which is same as UV. I would submit a demo but I think it's pointless because you can just play it yourself and see how broken it is.

The only reason the first section is difficult is because you have to do Doom-platforming while getting shot at by a revenant, arachnotrons, and an archvile, and if you fall off you land on a damaging floor. Pic related.

The second platforming section is pitch-black. And you're getting shot at by a chaingunner and a revenant. Clearly unfinished.

The tech-base textures clash with the gothic theme and look ugly as sin. Replace the damaging floor with lava to fit the theme better. You need more variety of lights; the same brightness looks stale. And needs difficulty settings implemented.

Also found a missing texture, pic related.

Verdict: I can't imagine anyone having fun with this, even if it was finished. But I can't speak for everyone so maybe someone would enjoy this? Anyway, it's unfinished as-is. If it was finished (add difficulty settings, fix lighting, make the textures fit the theme and fit with each other), then I couldn't justify removing it from the roster, even if I didn't like it.

>>6645978
woops - forgot to mention, I had to use IDBEHOLDL to be able to see in the second section, which is why the second picture there is all full-bright.

>>6645975
Which one is this?

>>6645978
This one's not that bad, visually it felt like lego because of tech and gothic texture mix. Gameplaywise I have to agree, short on ammo and too much annoying monsters shooting at you while you have to precisely jump/run

BELIAL'S BACHELOR PAD - REPUGNUS
Played UV on PrBoom+. Really great level in terms of appearance, geometry, progression, and traps. Sorta bad in terms of ammo placement and enemy placement. I didn't have enough ammo. Once I ran out in the cacodemon hall and couldn't trigger the switches, another time I ran out during the archvile fight. By the way, the archvile can trigger the elevator and go down.
There's nowhere near enough enemies. Seriously, I actually thought this through for every encounter, do this: Everywhere you have an imp, place two more. Every shotgunner place one more. Every hell knight place one more. For the skeleton place two more. Every pinkie place one more. Cacodemon and chaingunner placement is fine but I would also like to see more enemies in the blue key courtyard. And I would like enough ammo to safely handle all of them. Be sure to give extra ammo beyond what you think is appropriate for the archvile fight because you should be able to rely on beating the fight even if on one attempt you fuck up and let him revive a few enemies.

>build games like blood, Duke Nukem, and shadow warrior can support 3d cinematic videos

Tried loading up CLUB BOOM by WASHING MACHINE ENTHUSIASTS but it was just an unmodified copy of DOOM II as far as I can tell. Tried checking out Maps 01-07, as well as 30

>>6646063
It's in map slot 32, since it's supposed to be the super secret map. Minimalism will be in the slot 31 too.

>>6646063
It should be on slot 31 or 32 since it was made to be a secret level.

>>6646063
It's MAP32 judging by the editor.

>>6646037
Appreciate the review, anon. I knew it would be pretty obvious that I rushed putting down the monsters/ammo, and I'll definitely be taking your suggestions into consideration in my next update.

What's the cheat to show what monsters are still alive?

TRIFECTA - KAKROUZ
Um, where's the keys? There's not one in the first room and there's not one where you teleport to. I can't use the switches and I can't open the doors. Am I retarded? Had to quit.

>>6646098
The linedef actions are all wrong. Try this version: >>6644882
Alternatively, you can switch to zDoom.

A grim reminder to not test your maps in zDoom.

>>6645926
The SSG made this map a lot more enjoyable.
It took me so long because I didn't want to press the exit switch because I was missing a few enemies and didn't think it would be a lift due to how little space there was there.

BARTEKMIL - BAAL'S COLISEUM

First and foremost - like this anon said >>6642762 , the lava pit with the wind effect is fucking gay. I quit demo recording because of it. First I fell in and I thought I just made a mistake. Then I fell in and immediately remembered reading this comment from yesterday and not knowing what he meant. Now I know. There is no way out of the pit, and I don't know how to avoid falling in, so I refuse to playtest this any further.

The lift with the chaingunners is way too slow. The red key fight is way to slow paced with the plain shotgun. I UV-Maxed all of Base Ganymede, a Doom 1 megawad, and I did plenty of shotgunning there, so it's not that I don't like using the shotgun. In Base Ganymede it's actually fun, in this room it's pretty boring having to shotgun all that stuff. Consider making a gimmick where the pillars in the room drop so you don't have cover and have to dodge all the mancubus fireballs straight up.

Also found a buggy texture where the chaingunner/arch-vile are behind the fence.

Demo if you're interested
https://doomshack.org/uploads/Baals-skill2.lmp
Exe: prboom-plus -complevel 9

Verdict: The lava pit with the wind effect is fucking gay.

>>6645990
It was mine, the one you just reviewed, I can tell you didn't finish it, otherwise you woulda recognized, kek.
Thanks, Brutal Anon, it's back to the drawing board for me. :)

>>6645848
Im not sure if you read the post well or are memeing, but i probably have over 200h in blood altogether, and honestly cryptic just fucking sucks compared to other 5 episodes..

>>6644980
What Do you guys think about the quake Mission packs?

>>6646126
I meant like an x-ray vision showing where the remaining monsters are. I've seen decino use it in a few videos.

>>6646246
Scourge of Armagon is better than vanilla Quake.

>>6646246
They're pretty good, I'd say SoA is better than DoE. Great music in both to go along with the action too.

>>6646063
CLUB BOOM by WASHING MACHINE ENTHUSIASTS
Played UV on PrBoom+. This level is absolutely based and near perfect. It just needs the radiation suit removed to make the pool a challenge. There's enough health and powerups on the conveyor belt to make this very feasible, it's how I chose to play it.

>>6646246
I think they're real fun.

>>6646246
Scourge of Armagon satiated the Quake techbase hunger the original game left me with

I've been doing a lot of under-the-hood work lately, but here's some improved freeze grenade effects.

>>6646342
That shatter is excellent.

>>6646126
There is a way out of the pit, its behind you, a lift. To avoid falling in just run straight ahead/diagonally

>>6643168
BRXYZ - BLACK CREST

Progression is a mystery on this map. Is the map broken? What are you supposed to do after you kill the spiderdemon? I'm guessing there's supposed to be a yellow key in the center of the room like the other keys, but there's nothing there, so I didn't finish the map.

The walls surrounding the central starting section go up instantaneously, so you cannot see them go up because of all the black, and you cannot hear them go up. The only way I realized they were up is because the arch-vile blasted me and I went flying out of the room.

It took me like fifteen minutes of playtime to realize that the BANNERS are SWITCHES. Replace the banners with actual switches.

Way too difficult on skill 2. I quit the first demo (blind run) because I got lost. I know it's because I failed to see the red key switch somehow so that's on me, but the way the red key appeared made me thing I was supposed to trigger some hidden linedef again or something and I was frustrated. I quit the second demo attempt because the map felt way too difficult for something on EASY difficulty and I wanted to make sure difficulty settings were actually implemented.

Attempt #3 is where I actually realized that you need to press the use key on the banners. I'm not gonna include the demos because most of it is just me wandering around and you can test it in PrBoom for yourself to see that the yellow key doesn't appear.

Verdict: wtf are you supposd to do/10

>>6644980
Any mods that feature an AK variant?

SHIPWRECK CAVERN by SAMUEL SAMUELSON
Played UV on PrBoom+. Not a bad level. But I didn't like that there were sections of the map arbitrarily cut off with an invisible line def. It feels weird, especially when you clip and skate along the line. I also wasn't a huge fan of using the green torches as switches. It took me a while to figure out the first one. That could just be me though. I think the last fight should have been expanded to encompass the whole loop around the building, without any blocking linedefs. Not sure if that was a 2048 constraint but it still feels like a lot of unutilized space. Not a bad map by any means.

>>6646372
That lift does not work. Did you test it in PrBoom?

>>6646303
Thanks! What difficulty did you play on?

>>6646246
the real quake 2 and 3

>>6646408
>PrBoom
shit, I did now(tested on gzdoom before), I already see the mouse controls make it a bitch to play, I'll update the map tommorow, I think I'll scrap the wind trap and remove bullet sponges from the first arena

>>6646246
DoE sucks, SoA is okay. They don't beat the original campaign though.

>>6645926
BRXYZ - GHOUL GROTTO

If you fall into the river, you get softlocked at the bottom.

Broken/10

VEHEMENT ONSLAUGHT
Played UV on PrBoom+. Holy fuck, what a map. Only problems I had were that I think the endless teleporter near the shotgun needs to be trimmed down in length. I spent a lot of game time just sitting near the shotgun spawn picking off the enemies as they teleport in one by one and it got tiresome.
Also there's a weird texture glitch on the trim of the bridge that heads over to the shotgun area. My computer was being dumb about screenshots but if you open the map in PrBoom+, you should see it. It's like partially transparent in fragments.
Loved the final room.

>>6646448
Do you mean the sky covering the tower? I already fixed that.

>>6646425
I'll go back and test it again after I eat, but for now I wanted to suggest perhaps adding a rocket launcher and one box of rockets: not enough to kill everything but enough to blow up one of the barons and make it more interesting. Or, here's an interesting gimmick: make the room "trapped" by a forced-partial invisibility pick-up on that final lift inside, that wouldn't be a dick-move, it'd make the fight fun even on skill 2.

Most importantly I think lots of bullets would make the fight fun - remove the backpack so that you don't leave the room stacked with ammo, and add lots of bullets, this could make the fight fun instead of using the SG to conserve bullets

I played that map, that's not the case. You step on the bait teleport then step onto the real teleport. They're a raised 64x64 sector with a teleport pad clearly marked on them. You can't miss 'em.

ARROGANCE AND CONTEMPT - ENRAGED EGGPLANT
Played UV on PrBoom+. I do think that the changes help the map, but I also thought it seemed a little too similar to the first version. like the arrogance and contempt was not taking my advice from before about spicing up the fight behind the red key door. It could also use some final revenants/arachnotrons/or an archvile when you re-enter the first hall.

>>6646515

Did you add a custom sky texture to your level? Or any textures at all? Because that error message usually pops up when you didn't manage textures correctly.

>>6646535
gmanlives is a shill fag, can we just accept this and move on? and talk about games?

>>6646515
He also thinks unskippable cutscenes belong in Doom and said that if you don't care about the story in nu-Doom you shouldn't even play it (essentially saying that force-fed cinematics take precedent over proper gameplay design), so his opinions are trash just like nearly all of the other retards on youtube.

>>6646587
Uuh, I did add a flat and wall texture or two. They seem like they should be working fine, I converted them to the palette and all, and added the texture to the texture lump.

>>6646595
Remove them from the wad and re-add them.

>>6646607
remember to remove them from the patch table and texturex too of course

>>6646607

>>6646535
What a lame cunt

>>6646589
Him creaming his pants over the unfinished and (then) very buggy Blood: Fresh Supply shows what a shill and sellout he is.

>>6646425
Alright I played that section again, so I can give better feedback now. This section is identical across all difficulty settings AFAIK. Do not remove monsters, as the monsters are not particularly threatening, they are just bullet-sponges, as you said. It's better to just all more stuff to kill them quicker instead of using the plain old shotgun.

1) Turn all the enemies facing the player so that the fight begins immediately.
2) Remove all of the shotgun ammo in the red key room for two reasons: a) you already have way too much shotgun ammo preceding this section; you will enter this section with nearly 50 shells, and that's if you avoid picking up the box of shells in the chaingunner elevator room! and b) this will indicate to the player that he is completely free to burn through chaingun ammo.
3) Remove the backpack from this section. This fight is small and does not warrant a backpack IMO.
4) Remove the boxes of bullets from this section and replace them with clips arranged around the room to encourage/force movement around the entirety of the room. I counted 260 bullets in this room (5 boxes and 1 clip from the backpack), so that's 26 clips at least that you want inside that room.
5) Removing the backpack is not something I particularly feel strongly about compared to the other points. If you do decide to keep the backpack, put the backpack and FOUR boxes of bullets arranged such that you are guaranteed to grab the backpack first. This ensures that not a single box of bullets is wasted because it's impossible to enter that room with over 200 bullets anyway. The final 50 bullets should be in clips around the room.

>>6646607
>>6646613
That didn't do anything.

If you were to create an additional enemy for doom 2, during its release, what would it be?
imagine if you went to id during the game's development and had a chance to create one more enemy to the roster before it released

>>6646664
That's a great question! Hard to answer, the cast we have is damn near perfect. I'd probably add either a very supportive demon or a demon that fits a very tanky role. We have our main troops, zombies, imps, hell knights, revs, pinkies. Heavies/tanks would be Barons, Pain Elementals, and Mancs. Long range units are basically just Arachnotrons and maybe Revs, so probably something there. And the only supportive demon is Archie. You wanna look at what the player is doing/wants and you wanna play around with that. The most I can think of off the top of my head is probably just some sort of a middle-man between two demons for a certain role. Maybe a tanky enemy with a large aoe attack around them? Also probably a demon that has an attack/attacks that have to charge up. The only enemy that does that is Archie, so that would be a good area to fill in.

>>6646515
>SHILLMANLIVES
who cares, that guy is an idiot

>>6646664
Some sort of red or black demon that shoots a single mancubus fireball at you (as opposed to two at a time like the mancubus) but he shoots them as fast as a chaingunner fires. He should telegraph his attack similar to how the Quake 1 shambler telegraphs his attack by raising his arms towards the sky first. Maybe a red baron of hell

>>6646664
Another enemy that can revive others, but with a different attack.
Or the Shambler, I think that would work well in Doom.

The more familiar I get with PrBoom+, the less I like it.

>>6646683
flamethrower or lightning gun-esque demon?
>>6646664
either some kamikaze demon or something "area denial" related
like the cybermancs or carcasses in the new doom's with the green pollution being turned into gas clouds or the energy shields being additional/temporary linedefs

>>6646683
Shooting as fast as the chaingunner might cause the fireball sprites to overlap. He should shoot like an arachnotron

>>6646638
oh believe me brother, I remember that, but what is funny now is he is claiming that the railgun type weapon and 4 barreled shotgun in the new shadow warrior are "ripped right out of doom eternal" but at this point nothing surprises me about him nor his capacity for shilling so I just stopped caring. CV11 is a better retro fps player anyways.

>>6646692
I feel you. I wish Crispy Doom was Boom-compatible; it looks so much better with the 640x400 resolution and the vertical recoil pitch and the better minimized HUD that still lets you see Doomguy's face

>>6646664
Scythe 2's evil marines

>>6646709
There's that, but I also mean the editing, apparently when I add textures and flats, in a way which works for GzDoom, that's not right for PrBoom+.

I think after I'm done with all of this, I will never map for Boom again, or not map for compatibility with PrBoom+ itself again.

>>6646664
Medium-health melee-only monster with a short ranged leaping attack. Basically a Fiend from quake. Shit, give it the corpse-eating ability from the Gremlin as well, through which it can not only heal but increase max health to a point.

How do any of you feel aboit "poison" projectile enemies?
Or stuff like "bleeding" damage, like if the context was sharp arrows?
Like, a projectile that hits the player and causes health to drain for a while.
I feel like that is in a similar spot to health/armor bonuses in Doom 1/2 where it either causes a bit impact or a small one, depending on the scenario.
Like, if you pick up some health, you either stop the effect or restore a bit of health, so you loose less regardless.
Or if another enemy attacks you during the bleeding/draining, you get to lose even more.
But without either, you just get the "average" scenario or losing the intended health from the poison attack
Something like Hexen's green flasks from the Cleric.

>>6646716
Those fuckers make me panic as soon as I see them. So they're very effective in that role, even more than archviles or pain elementals (when there's no lost soul limit).

I'd make a Fiend-like enemy that would be good for ambushes. Lost Souls don't count because they suck.

>>6646664
Something beefy and semi-transparent like the spectre that comes in for melee but can drop partial invisibility to teleport away and become a projectile launcher at half-health.

With a lot of legs: more than four.

just remembered that legion of bones had an archvile that could turn some low tier enemies next to him into some powerfull lost soul variants
and that vdp had an imp that after death, becomes this unkillable ghost that possesses an enemy corpse just to bring it back

THE DARK SANCTUARY - VAERUS
Played UV on PrBoom+. Gave up because I got frustrated and was sick of dying, even with savescumming. The platform section is ass, the pillars are way too small. Can't figure out how to reliably open the Plasma gun secret. Thought it was by shooting the eyeball but that stopped opening it on my later attempts. Too goddamn many barons for grabbing it anyways. It's overkill. So is the next room you're teleported into. Sure, there's an invulnerability in the back corner but I could never reliably clear my way to get back there as I was coming into this area with only about 8-20% HP everytime and get blasted too quick. Only got the invulnerability once and it still didn't help me clear this room all the way, I still had all the barons, arachnotrons, and mancubus left. My suggestion for this room: Remove one hell knight, two barons, and one mancubus. My suggestion for the plasma gun trap: Remove an entire half of the barons. For the ass platforming: Widen the pillars 8 pixels in every direction.
Couldn't figure out how to get the invulnerability in the baron room but I'm not blaming you for that.
In its' current state, this map is unfair/10.

>>6646931
PS: You have plenty of misaligned textures. Look at how your viney marble connects to your regular marble. Also look at the wall closest to you on the right side when you teleport into the unfair section I mentioned before.

Yeah, ok, PrBoom+ is still being a cunt, even when setting the resource archive as Doom2.wad and importing from that.

I really, REALLY hate this sourceport.

>>6645978
I've finally updated it, if you guys wanna try. I've come across this error in PRBOOM+ though, there's a chance it crashes on signal 11 for no reason around the nukage area. I don't know why, but here's the wad anyway.
It's on MAP01 now too for convenience.

You need to watch how you order things as you load them. The map wad should always come before the resources.

Here's the second (unfinished) version of Inner Cloister. I tried addressing some of the critiques I received, like not enough ammo & too many revenants, and I also fixed lots of bugs.

It is still balanced around HMP with 0% secrets, but I am working on the other difficulties. I am also not adding textures until I am 100% finished with room layout and monster encounters etc.

>.wad now loads in the Doom 2 textures which GothicTX replaced

Ok, moaning like a stupid dipshit isn't gonna solve anything. I have to get some sleep or something, then later one of you guys can take a look at the MAP30 .wad and see what my dumb ass is doing wrong, because clearly something isn't passing through my thick skull.

I wanted to just do a special thing for the MAP30 I had in mind, just slightly, not a big thing, just a simple visual, really, and I wanted it to be a surprise. If you do take a look at it later, please don't spoil it for the others.

>>6647132
I liked the visual variety between the different areas, but there wasn't really a natural flow to progression. Much of what the player needed to do involved dead ends, which became a bit repetitive near the end.
Also, the Cyberdemon at the end wasn't much of a threat. If he was in the courtyard area and there was no way to escape it would have been less trivial. Also, tag the linedef for the secret's door to appear as one-sided, because I was able to find it easily just by checking the automap.

>>6647194
how would you recommend fixing the flow of the map? and thanks for playing it, big ups.

>>6647121
I was trying to do this originally, but I was too eager to see how certain fights would play out. I also haven't mapped in a while.

>>6647204
I can't say for certain without opening up the map to look at its top-town view, but just look at certain dead ends and try to make them loop back around to where the player was instead of making them do an about-face after picking up a key or pressing a button. Not all of them are bad, mind you. The trap with all of the shotgunners almost got me.
You also have some areas where it seems like decisions were made only to pad out time. Like that first open area with the lift and stalagmites. Instead of having the lift be usable immediately, the player needs to go press a button for it. There's no danger in doing this because it's not like you ever have to fight enemies to make your way back up top, it's just there to waste time. Same with the Hell Knight platform. If you fall off, you have to backtrack a little bit to make it back where you already were. A lift there would be useful as well.

>>6647226
thank you so much. this is my first attempt at a real detailed map so it means a lot. i will definitely move the button next to the lift instead of running that way and i never made it intentionally to pad out time, it just seemed "cool." but yeah i will for sure get to it thank you

CHARCOLA - TINY FRAGMENT

This one has some potential, but as-is, it is unfinished and not up to par with other entries, mainly because of the hideous texturing.

The textures are TERRIBLE. You have some gothic textures, some tech-base textures, what looks like downtown textures? Make it all gothic. It would look good as all like grey castle stonebricks. There are numerous places textured as doors that are not doors. Get it together, man. The wood sections look cool and fit nicely with the gothic theme.

Look at the two pictures in pic related. Look at the mess of textures in the left pic. It looks even worse full-screen. And what's with the "sky"???? Look at the right pic - you have steel walls next to all these stone textures. The inside of the room in the right pic looks good; you could use that as reference of what looks good and expand upon that theme.

The map on skill 2 is very empty and needs work. It left a bad impression. Thankfully it played a lot better on skill 3. Skill 4 plays identically to skill 3. Is the only difference you added 13 more shotgunners to that teleporter section? That section is very boring - you just sit there and camp the single teleporter destination waiting for it to empty which takes like 20 seconds. Add more teleport destinations and a larger variety of more lethal demons. Two mancubi spawning in separate locations would be far more lethal and interesting than camping that teleporter for 20 seconds.

The starting gimmick with giving you no weapons except a rocket launcher played out well. I think you could expand upon this theme and make the map more interesting by removing the starting shotguns to force the player to shoot the enemy shotgunners with the rockets to acquire the shotty.

The two green armors are way too close too eachother and redundant. Remove the 2nd green armor by the stairs.

>>6646342
Any ETAs Shockanon? I've been seeing this worked on for a year and always get more hype when i see it

>>6643168
CHARCOLA - TINY FRAGMENT (part 2)

The room in the left side of pic related is empty. Totally wasted space and wasted potential. You could put a single mancubi here on skill 2 blocking the switch with monster block lines to prevent him from leaving. Put two on skill3. Put three mancubi here on UV. Make the room lock you in. Place three individual rockets on skill2, one box of rockets on skill 3, and two boxes of rockets on skill 4. This is just one idea on what to do with this room. You could leave it empty and spawn an arch-vile in there when you press the switch on skills 2 and 3, and place one box of rockets to deal with him, and place a berserk or soulsphere in there as health. On Skill 4, two boxes of rockets and two arch-viles. The player has enough time to escape. If you do this you will have to remove the existing teleporters with the pinkies and former humans, which are pretty boring in comparison. Wasted space!

The section pictured in the right pic is by far the most interesting section in the entire map. The stairs cause you to shoot yourself in the face with a rocket if you miss the revenants above. The shotgunners on the ledge attack you if you shoot the mancubus, and the mancubus shoots you if you attack the shotgunners.

>>6643168
ENRAGED EGGPLANT - ARROGANCE AND CONTEMPT

Map is unfinished. Wide-open and empty and no difficulty settings implemented. I recently played Base Ganymede so I'll use that as a reference. You could fill the room with the pews with twenty imps and give the player some shells and this would go a very long way in making the map interesting. It may sound lazy but you'd be surprised how well it works in Base Ganymede, which is a Doom 1 megawad so you only get Doom 1 weapons and enemies and it still manages to be excellent. Another idea is, one backpack, one chaingun, seven boxes of bullets, and 40 imps, and this is just for skill 2.

Play E1M3 and E2M2 of Base Ganymede to understand what I mean by using lots of filler imps along with some cacos to make very interesting encounters.

I somehow ran over the exit linedef and ended up outside and got soft locked, pic related (top). And there are numerous exit signs on this map which is highly misleading (bottom).

Since the map was submitted as-is weeks ago and still hasn't been tweaked and is likely abandoned, I'm gonna mess around with it in an editor, placing monsters and stuff, since there is still lots of potential. I can't into map editing, so I won't mess with fixing the misleading exit sign, but I can place things.

I'm not going to lie that I focused on making a map for a video game instead of an art piece. The textures were the last thing I worked on and were rushed like the rest of the map, so I am a little happy to hear that you liked it enough to want a review and a hope for improvement!

The yellow key is supposed to spawn where the Spiderdemon spawns, I don't know how and why it broke but it always spawned for me, both in Prboom+ and Gzdoom, still, I've tried doing something with it so hopefully it will work reliably now (I've tested it again multiple times and it works for me at least). I'm not removing the banners, but I placed a big hint to try doing something with them. I've changed the walls at the beginning to not raise instantly, so you can notice them raising. Tweaked the difficulty on skill 2 and 3. Red key now spawns in the middle of the arena instantly as you press the first banner.

CALIGULOUS CAULDRON by WASHING MACHINE ENTHUSIASTS
Good map. Looks better with textures and lighting now. Not sure if it's cheese or strategy but you can run all the way up the stairs without firing a shot and you just run behind everybody without waking them up. There's a misaligned texture beneath the mancubus. Fighting two cyberdemons is a little tedious IMO.
MINIMALISM by WASHING MACHINE ENTHUSIASTS
This one's a stinker, especially compared to your other two maps. Flat, uninteresting, enemies scattered about not very strategically, and the secrets don't save the level by any means, they're just sort of time filler. Don't really like it to be quite honest.

BAAL'S COLISEUM by BARTEKMIL
As soon as I got to the fucking lava pit of death with the wind, I realized that several other people already reviewed this so I quit out of it considering you're probably already working on a revamp. To repeat what others have said, the wind into certain death is absolutely fucking gay, the elevator is absolutely too fucking slow, and the enemies in the red key arena are absolutely fucking tedious to fight with a single barrel shotgun.
This level is very redeemable, just needs some tweaks.

Place your sectors and texture them before adding monsters. Like anything else, you lay the foundation first before building on top of it.

>>6647614
>Do other Anon's agonise over map compatibility before starting one?
I don't make maps but I don't imagine there is much to agonize about. If you have an idea of a map then go for it. If your map doesn't involve fancy scripting then make it limit-removing so people can enjoy it in the best port ever, Crispy Doom. If you can, make it vanilla-compatible for extra internet points. If you must include some fancy scripts, use those Boom conveyor belt tricks; make the map look great in GLBoom+ while you're at it if it's already gonna be Boom-compatible - an exception is Lunatic which looks great in PrBoom, but for example Preacher looks extremely good in GLBoom

>Do you get people who won't play your map if it goes over Boom?
I won't play maps that aren't vanilla, limit-removing, or Boom/MBF-compatible, except for some specialty cases like Adventures of Square (TC made by Jimmy) and lilith.pk3 (made Graf seethe). AMA
>inb4 why don't you play GZDoom
I can record demos on PrBoom+ and they will play in vanilla Doom, and vice versa. Sure the Boom engine adds some extra things like ice physics and conveyor belts but the port still lets me record vanilla demos so it's all good for me. I can't record demos in GZDoom and play them in anything else besides GZDoom. I'm not going to play on GZDoom simply because you couldn't place textures properly for vanilla/limit-removing/Boom. I'm not gonna play your GZDoom map for its fancy scripts unless the map is famous or something and other people have confirmed it's worth my time; there's already too much good stuff out there for me to spend my time on

>>6646709
>Boom-compatible
Pick one. https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Category:Boom_compatible

>>6646664
Probably something that makes players get closer to them. Like some low health enemy that drops health items that go away after a few seconds if they're not picked up. A demon carrying a tortured soul that could be set free, perpahs. Maybe it could have some kind of weak explosive attacks without being invulnerable to them.

>>6647516
I think your map is broken. Here is my demo:
https://doomshack.org/uploads/Club-skill2.lmp
PrBoom-plus -complevel 9

While your fixing the broken door, here is a missing texture (left pic), and the alcoves with the monsters could use some oscillating lights (right pic)

The MIDI sounded great at first, but it breaks after one cycle. It was distracting the hell out of me which is my excuse for playing like shit later in the demo.

Progression is pretty unclear but more playtesting (after the door is fixed) will help determine how to make progression clearer

>>6647663
the shooting is decent but the movement is pretty bad especially compared to doom and extra especially compared to halo

TUROK ALREADY DID IT

2048WIPV2 by MR B
Played UV on PrBoom+. Bitch, I told you weeks ago to lower unpeg the DOORTRAKs in the first hallway and that the pinkies in the pillar room can't do anything and are thus pointless.
First guy to submit a map and he never checks back in apparently.

>>6647723
I said I wish Crispy was Boom-compatible because it has so many features no other port has, like its unique rendering (640x400 plus widescreen, however many pixels that is; also you can play low-res in other ports and it just doesn't look as good as Crispy), its superior minimized HUD, its vertical recoil pitch option, mirrored corpses, and so on. I know Fabian is working on Woof! and that new PrBoom+ fork, hopefully these features will be added in those ports

STRAIGHT WALLED ROOMS by MANUK3R
Played UV on PrBoom+. Most of this map doesn't work very well because you're not often forced to go into the next room so you end up just playing peekaboo from around the corner. Draw me into a room with goodies, hide the baddies, or make baddies spawn behind me, pushing me into the room. There were only two interesting parts. The room with the hell knights and mancubus and then the archvile room. In both of these cases it's because I was lured into the room and couldn't just play peekaboo from the entrance.
The midtextures are too noisy. Rather than have a midtexture on each side of a wall, just draw a linedef through the center of your wall sector and make that single linedef a midtexture. Gives a much cleaner look with better visibility.
Don't make maps that are entirely tiny hallways.

Ok i have decided to try adding some more difficulty into the mix, it is workable somewhat, i made it you can still get 100% if you get near the end(its a fast speed crusher) i am considering maybe changing the cybie to be multi only though.

>>6647704
I guess I have a differing philosophy in this in that if I don't have a lot of time and decide to cut something, I will cut the prettyification of the map and focus on making gameplay that feels good isn't horrible. Even now I'm spending hours trying to choose textures and revamp sectors and not really feeling it so clearly it is not my thing.

Will there be a fancy message log thing? Unfiltered, important messages... stuff like that. Something for the storyline mappers.

>>6647942

>>6647960
Not at first release probably, and neither will there be an inventory with items to drag or activate initially. I feel like I need to get this thing out the door already, and those are features that can wait - but the mod *will* have them.

>>6646515
Who cares about what anybody thinks on hdoom? The guy howerer shitted on Sigil. That's unforgivable.

>>6646664
I would remove Icon Of Sin and replace it with actual sprite boss monster. Thus I wouldn't have to fight Icon Of Sin again in hundreds of wads. That boss battle just isn't enjoyable.

Obsessing over a "man" who sucks dicks for profit of any kind sounds like a bad way to spend your time. He's a blithering idiot who's bad at everything he does and his army of cybercucks will get him coddle and support him for the rest of his life. That's that.

If CHARCOLA refuses to fix his textures for TINY FRAGMENT, I fixed them for him. If he does end up fixing his map to look nice, use his, if not, here's something that looks better than it did. Don't expect it to be suddenly beautiful, I'm not a miracle worker.

Nevermind, looks like he's doing it. Guess I spent two hours aligning textures for no reason. Hey CHARCOLA, you bitch, open my file to see the textures I used in the cyberdemon room. At the very least use that idea, I think it looks dope.

>>6648139
Hey, this looks pretty nice actually. Makes me feel a bit special that someone thinks the map is good enough to take however long this took! And still an asshole. :)

>>6648139

Unfortunately I don't steal ideas from people who go around shitting on my shit. My heart is broken and I feel bad and very sad about my lack of skill and ambition in life.

Also damn why the hell is there a million walk over triggers that lower+change floor texture but no switch options. This completely stuffs the idea that I had earlier.

>>6648180
>no switch options
Have you tried using the generalized linedefs? You should be able to do pretty much anything you want with them.

>>6646517
>I do think that the changes help the map, but I also thought it seemed a little too similar to the first version. like the arrogance and contempt was not taking my advice from before about spicing up the fight behind the red key door. It could also use some final revenants/arachnotrons/or an archvile when you re-enter the first hall.
There are changes? After I first uploaded it, I deleted the file in a fit of disappointment. So, if there are any changes, they weren't made by me. I'm currently experiencing an extreme lack of free time, but I'll try to touch it up in the following hour or so.
>>6647406
Thanks for the review. I'll try to make some changes. The additional exit signs appear only after you enter the time machine to indicate that you have to go back to the start.

>>6648181
I think I used those settings in one of my other maps, but frankly I got a little confused trying to work with it. Small lazy brain in action, and I'm not keen on finding out if switching over will force me to redo all the switch logic. Just might have to make do with what I got.

>>6648220
You won't have to redo anything, you can use both types of lines if you want.

>>6648242
Oh I see, I can change from Doom 2 to Boom compat and it enables the extra tab. Neat.

Mate it's just a Doom level you don't need to have an existential crisis over it.

>>6648176
>>6648180
Is this the same guy? Those are two very different responses.
It's just a goof, man. I obviously enjoyed your map enough to think it was worth it to put the time into texturing it and meticulously draw a shitty calvin for your amusement.

Baal's Coliseum - small update
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QvUuz0vvTJJArSrSIHzL3i-ZO7lViBup/view?usp=sharing
I've made a grave mistake of testing my map only in GZDoom, so when I opened it up in prboom+ a lot of stuff was fucked up:
1.prboom doesn't like generalized actions for some reason, the 12232 action I used for crushers that worked perfect in GZD didn't work AT ALL in prboom, so crushers(pic related) were all off, since there is no predefined "W1 Start crusher with fast damage(silent)" I added a stop crusher trigger later so the player doesnt have to listen to that damn sound for the rest of the level.
2.Wind effect is no more, I also fixed the lift out of the lava pit(prboom requires a tag, GZDoom was convenient enough to need just 1 action linedef)
3. I went along with review anon(>>6646658)'s advice and revamped the first arena a bit so the player now relies more on chaingun, I still think the arena needs a bit work but it should be much more digestible now, big thanks for the tips anon!
Also fixed some minor texture problems. I'll be thankful if anyone tries the map and gives feedback

>>6648318
Yeah no worries. Truth is pissing over my dumb sector art lit a fire under my ass, right now I kind of stalled out for the time being trying to over-detail things but I probably wouldn't have been enthusiastic about getting back to it without that critique.

>>6644986
I touched up the map a bit, added more monsters, decorations. It's mostly, the same, but it seems to be much better now nonetheless.

Also, shortened the lift and fixed the spawn just now because i am a """"nigga"""", you can try it now

Look at these idiots fucking with the payphones,what do you guys think they're saying to each other?

I keep having this problem with gzdoom builder. At some point when I right click on either a vertex or a linedef it stopped being able to move it and now it forces up the window. Before restarting the program fixed the problem but now it doesn't. What should I do?

>>6647792
Thanks for the review.

For the mid texture thing, it is indeed noisy, in the last half where there are a lot its worst, i can work on a fix for that.

Being this my first map ever i am actually pretty ok with how it ended, this 2048 project actually gave me an excuse to finally do a map and i am working in a second one.

The thing with going back and corner shooting is indeed an issue in my map, i have one or two ideas for fixing that but i don't know if i have the time to work on it.

>>6647595
I nearly had a heart attack playing this level. It's super difficult but also super well designed, certainly my favorite of these maps I've played so far except possibly Welcome to the Peanut Gallery. I also had a problem the first time I played it where the sky didn't display correctly and you could get stuck in a hole near the invulnerability, which also didn't lower. Seems this was all fixed with the update though, great work all around.

Have you got things set on Doom compatibility by accident?

The only other possibility is you haven't set your tags correctly. In some cases zdoom can guess what you were trying to do and it will work anyway but that's not true in any other sourceport.

>>6648871
Like map compatibility? No, it's Doom 2. My problem is with the textures, GzDoombuilder is loading in the Doom 2 textures which GOTHICTX.wad is supposed to be replacing.

Yeah, OBS to record and then "Webm for Bakas" to convert. It has a lightweight drag-and-drop interface, and a checkbox for audio. I usually always record in 60fps, with record start/end bound to the scroll lock key.

Playing You're a Drunk loser

I like the look and the music but i;m at the SSG area and I don't think there is enough ammo to get through. More chaingun and maybe even rockets early. Too many enemies in those corridors for what is available IMO

>>6649238
Record demos. I played the maps and the ammo was just fine so my first guess is you are using the SSG from like 30 meters away and wasting ammo

>>6648209
Dear Eggplant,

It made me sad that you wanted to remove your map from submissions because you were unhappy with it. I implemented difficulty settings in it and I want you to try it out :)

https://doomshack.org/uploads/ArroganceEdit02.wad

To any playtesters, please test this map and record all of your attempts, starting on skill 2. The way I set up the difficulty was, I started on skill 2 and made sure it was fun, then I started adding stuff, whereas most people place everything on UV and then subtract stuff for the other difficulties. Use PrBoom+ -complevel 9

Sincerely,
Anonymous

I'm updating Black Crest again, I found some more spots where you could fall and get stuck, I also added some minor details and reverted some of the difficulty changes to skill 2 and 3, since I might have went overboard with the nerfing, which made skill 2 almost a cakewalk.

>>6647595
Btw, are you planning to check out the updated version of Black Crest? I really couldn't replicate the yellow key issue and I'm worried whether it is some kind of a rare bug or what.

>>6648739
Thanks anon, I went with the Plutonia principle of adding stuff until I myself can barely beat the level and it certainly worked.

>>6646664
I would make tiny lost souls and extra tiny lost souls. Shooting a lost soul would cause it to explode into 4 tiny lost souls and shooting a tiny lost soul would cause it to explode into 4 extra tiny lost souls. Every normal lost soul would inevitably spawn 16 extra tiny lost souls unless it exploded in a cramped area or corner. The smaller the lost soul the less damage it does but the faster it attacks. Why you ask? Because I just fucking hate this world and the human worms feasting on its carcass. My whole life is just cold, bitter hatred.

The door isn't broken, there's a cyberdemon on that pillar in the room with the double switch and big bricks. You activate the door by running toward the teleporter ontop and telefragging him.

There's another switch in the other monster cranny. Maybe putting lights on it would make it more obvious? Also I'm not sure why the midi breaks in Fluidsynth. Works fine in OPL but in Fluidsynth on the second cycle the drums just disappear and I'm not sure why.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll try and make the progression clearer. :)

I never played it but I heard they added polygons to the engine. Does the rest of the game at least play and feel the same as the original? Would getting the source code leaked lead to a new age of Duke modding?

>>6649994
No. Figuring things out was one of the best parts. Read instructions, learn things, get better. Slow internet and limited harddrive space cut down on how many games you could have installed and mess around with so you wanted to get the most out of what you had. Barely any Normans on the internet back then so way less lazy bitching and moaning.

More mods! MORE!

x265 video will come out looking like complete garbage but at least the lossless recording serves up some nice screenshots.

>>6650109
what unreal mod is this?

I would like to share with you guys a shizopost I received on a test video about my recent map release.

"Holy cow this looks so terrible to play. I mean, so does basically every level you playtested for the past month. Quake mappers have caught on and can make cool combat puzzles, yet the cyberstaling creeps of doomworld and their cult of of online harassment have yet to make a community that is creative. How strange!

"I am not plagarizing you!"..."I am not vagueposting you!"...yeesh! What a psychotically toxic community.

Its a good thing everyone likes 'Oops! All techbase', even if you yourself hated the project you contributed towards. I mean, how fucked in the head do you have to be to shit on your own rather successful project?

I have to say, calling out DW for being infested with cyberstalking creeps was awesome. I cant believe Galileo or whatever the fuck the BTSX dev's name is... Its just insane that he copied map15 without attributing me, and then all the stupid cultists congradulated him.

XD yall are some dumbass creeps. Cyberstalking creeps that hate everything. Get off the fucking internet already. Every last one of you. The internet is not for cyberstalking and harassing creative people you dolts.

Grow the fuck up already. I am still waiting for my apology from gokuma, essefortium, and dragonfly for harassment. Yall are fucking evil."

>>6650237
It's honestly kind of depressing how Atari is nowadays, considering they basically kickstarted video games as a mainstream thing, only to quickly fade into obscurity and resurrect as a shit company that doesn't even do much of anything to begin with. They're like a washed up rock star that didn't take long to wash up to begin with.

>>6650149
Hi cuntdracula, don't forget to take your pills tomorrow.

>>6650248
At least Kaizer snagged some work experience and got to do the Doom 64 port. I don't see his efforts getting shut down any time soon. Could be more goodness over the horizon.

>>6650263
Yeah he did, I think it was called something else first though.

In Dehacked (and decorate etc I assume) if you make a lost soul with gravity and non floating, when it attacks a player standing above it it'll keep launching when it hits the ground, and sorta bounce along.
I don't have a need or way to make this useful, but you might be able to make bouncy grenades or some such with it some how.
Might also make for a fun bouncy sorta enemy. Grasshopper or something.

I swear, Build games are on a whole other level from id tech 1 games, I really gotta get better at this.

>>6648858
Anyone? I would really appreciate the assistance? Also I've been doing some updates to my other maps in the meantime, making up for some of the overly harsh challenge on lower difficulties.

>>6650416
Doom and Doom 2 are just not very hard games on UV, remember that Nightmare! (which is actually very hard) was added in an update as a joke response to a lot of people complaining that the game was too easy. Duke, Blood, and Wang, however, they actually crank it up pretty harsh on their higher difficulties as they are, their max difficulties are very substantial challenges.

>>6650248
Atari isn't Atari anymore, when Atari was dirt cheap it was bought by Infogrames, the company that ruined Alone In The Dark and Driver franchises.
Infogrames now owns the Atari IPs and the name (to which they renamed themselves) and does the EA shtick of ruining nice things with corporate bullshit, just on a small town business scale

>>6650441
also, I don't know if its just me, but Shadow Warrior Redux's mouselook aim feels off. Blood and Duke 3D's mouselook aim is fine, but shadow warrior's aiming feels weird

>>6650416
Yeah, BUILD games don't fuck around, but I gotta say that Blood is borderline BS on the highest difficulties. The enemies get just a little bit too spongy. Having the custom difficulty option of the ports is great.

>>6651032
is that poopy?

>>6651015
Honestly, I was just adding two simple things due to it being Map 30 (one is a pitch black texture/flat, because I wanted to create a wide and dark vista with no sky). For an actual sky texture, without mapinfo you would be seeing the sky the map pack comes with, regardless of what you submit (I think).

Also, I was doing that without actually asking anyone. What's project lead say about it?

Nope.

small

>>6651309
Just like their penises

>>6651290
It exists, but it's very small, the original Doom games were kind of a cult hit among nerds with computers around there, but didn't have too much market penetration, as the Japanese audience is just not very used to that kind of game.

That's slowly been changing, as the Bethesda games appealed to them more (being RPGs), which is closer to what they favor the most.

Allegedly they have more propensity for motion sickness with FPS games. They called it "Doom sickness" in the 90s. Also PC gaming in general isn't (and wasn't then) nearly as big as it is in the west.

>>6651290
Yeah i dont think any fps games are big there. Maybe cuter things like overwatch.

Are we talking about those medieval / post apocalyptic setpiece simulators?

Hey,I'm the author of the Trifecta level,thanks for the fix.What was the problem with the level?

>>6651290
I once came across a Japanese BUILD game fan page. Sometime in the 2000s I think. No idea where to look and if that stuff is still there.

I remember (from the machine translation) that he was amused by the spelling of certain signs in Shadow Warrior and how the devs just plastered random Japanese stuff on posters and signs.

>Like map compatibility? No, it's Doom 2
You want to choose BOOM (-complevel 9( in the editor, not Doom 2 (-complevel 2)

>>6651224
Ah, I just downloaded and inspected the wad you posted earlier, I'll permit it since you're working on a unique final boss.You might need to split BIGBOSS1 into 9 different 256x128 textures like how the original IoS was done and add them into the GOTHICTX wad.
Hopefully this link helps with your endeavors:

What Is your definition of an RPG? I'm no Bethdrone but If I can roleplay, in a game, is that not an RPG?

>>6651290
Your post reminded me, here's some Doom footage from a Japanese show centered around
video games from 1995: https://youtu.be/Fd4EiWW_yKg?t=1020 (17:00 if timecode fails, also not subtitled unfortunately)

Good luck to 2048 Units Anon going through the threads and compiling all the edits

>>6651350
We can argue about that and the strict definition of role playing games, but the bottom line is that those are games where you build stats and gather equipment, also look for loot, which is strongly in line with the kind of 'RPG' games that have always been popular in Japan.

>>6651390
Where would I set that in GzDoombuilder? I haven't seen that before.

>>6651391
Thanks, I'll try that.
I wanted to do him as one texture for the sake of making all of him light up evenly from the Light Glow sector function, without seams or desync, is a 800x400 single patch texture a problem for PrBoom+? Legit question, I'm still trying to make it run.

>>6651402
God that one girl was annoying

>>6651402
Fucking based also that host is a fucking fox

>>6651212
All you've been saying is that something is wrong with it but you won't say what because you don't want to spoil it. I don't know what you're looking for. There's a well and then there's some fleshy textures outside of it. What's wrong is that there's no map, I seriously don't know what you're looking for.

>>6651402
This is amazing thx

>>6651391
>>6651440
Ok, that's not making me any wiser, I did that already, and I have a map to make.

Just as a temporary solution, should I plain import all of GOTHICTX into the MAP30 .wad so I can just work on the damn thing, then when you assemble the .wad, you can just add those few little things onto the patch table/texture lump as we include the textures anyway?

>>6651587
>All you've been saying is that something is wrong
See: >>6647148 I should have linked to it.
Basically, it's an issue of importing a couple of textures/flats and adding them to the patch/texture lumps causing some kind of incompatibility thing where GzDoombuilder still loads textures which GOTHICTX was supposed to replace (so you get the original FIREBLU instead of the twitching crucified guy, etc).

>>6651343
yeah the spyro games were capped at 50 fps and he was substantially slowed down in the ps one games over there iirc

>>6649982
I don't think that DN64 contents would be inside of that giant Nintendo leak, the best you're probably going to get is a recreation of it within the PC version

>>6651630
Someone did that I think

Yep, I've made a WEAPON. Except it's a fucking static .obj and I can't even figure how to get it to show up in first person and md3 export plugin in Blender is not working and so I am fucked anyway. Still, anything better than drawing hundred sprites for each enemy (not that I can draw anyway), Maybe I should just leave this place altogether, go to /agdg/ and switch to Godot engine - who knows, maybe it would be me who will make a first actual game in it?

>>6649982
Just play the DN64 mod for eDuke32

>>6651635
Just use your 3D models to generate all the needed rotations and animations

May require a lot of manual touch-up

>>6651631
Oh yeah. What was it called, Total Meltdown? I'll have to give it a look, DN64 had some neat stuff in it (and some weird shit)

>>6649982
Rednukem (A source port by the creator of Nblood) has DN64 support

>>6651658
wait I'm stupid, TM was that other console port

>>6651657
>May require a lot of manual touch-up
And that's exactly why I am not using sprites in the first place.

>>6651674
But 3D models in the ports look so incredibly bad

>>6651680
Yep, and that's what I will be telling people if someone will criticize my complete and utter lack of artistic talent.

>>6651612
Oh OK I can't help you with that, I'm new to mapping

>>6651635

While I've been at it, here's updates to "Vehement Onslaught", "The Dark Below", "Bleak Cinders", and "Forsaken Stockades"

They should *hopefully* be more playable on lower difficulty levels now.

BRXYZ - BLACK CREST
Here are your demos
https://doomshack.org/uploads/BlackCrest-demos.zip

Map is good. The four revenants at the start feels like complete bullshit though. It feels like a complete RNG fest. Seems like you just gotta hope for low damage rolls before you get out. Consider making it three on skill 3. I don't think there are enough rockets or health on skill 4 but I could just be bad.

The view of the exit switches can get blocked by corpses, pic related. Make 'em taller. Also, if it's no too much trouble, make the arrows marking the very first banner disappear after you press the "switch."

I couldn't record a UV demo and was getting distracted so I quit but the failed attempt is included. Have you beaten this thing on UV in PrBoom+ without saves?

I challenge anyone here to record a UV demo of this map (in PrBoom+ -complevel 9, not GayZDoom)!

>>6651792
That's fine. I'll just do the inefficient, but functional thing, and just merge it into a copy of GOTHICTX, then it HAS to work.

>>6651846
I thought the Pain Elementals were more of a dick move than the Revenants. Those are easily avoided by just moving back and forth.

are there any WADs that feel more like the cover gameplay of wolfenstein 3D?

>>6651818
It almost worked. Almost.

what's the most advanced used of doomguy's face in the hud?

>>6651846
Whoops. I used THIS wad --> >>6647595 to record demos and NOT this wad --> >>6649783

>>6651886
Demo or it didn't happen. You are surrounded on all 4 sides, you move back and forth and you get shot in the face or ass

>>6651916
did it merge a bunch of verts or something? hard to tell by the image. I don't really have any experience with the format, maybe there's some precision stuff going on. noesis might not even be displaying it correctly.

>>6651891
rootpain.wad

Alright, dumping the map and the patches into a copy of GOTHICTX seems to actually work, thank God, now I can actually get to work on this level.
I'll get back to you guys when I have a playable draft.

Does anybody have Quake 64 Ultra tc?

>>6651960
Nope, it is fucked up in GZDoom as well. But seeing it textured makes me think the problem may indeed be with precision, original model may be too small (I made it based on the dimensions of similar real-life SMGs, but I have to scale it up 80 times in GZDoom). I'll make it bigger and try again.

>>6648351
Congrats, you've made the map even worse. The ceilings in the crusher section are too tall for you to look up and see what's a crusher and what isn't. This wouldn't be a problem if you could just stand and look but there is an impossible-to-kill chaingunner being revived by an arch-vile behind you if you try to watch the crushers.

These mancubi are unable to move. Did you even play the map yourself? This room needs like double the chaingun ammo also

>>6648351
Also the lift takes way too long. Imagine waiting 30 seconds for a loading screen before every run. That's what it feels like.

Here is my demo so you can experience my frustration
https://doomshack.org/uploads/Baal-skill2.lmp

>>6652019
>>6651960
I scaled it up in Blender and re-exported, and now it works properly. I will probably just make a placeholder 2D sprite out of it for now and focus on implementing the actual shooting (or, rather, porting it over from my unfinished TC), bullet puffs and such, and then work on making an enemy.

>>6652008
Godspeed.

>>6651826
Wait, those are different levels? I thought it was the name of a single WAD
