WTF you can make your own skies in a ZDoom level you realize

The data lumps are not my strength. I've only figured out SNDINFO and DECORATE, nothing else.

Make a skybox... it requires some sectors and an object.

I know skyboxes, but I'm no good at writing the text lumps.

Why the hell do you need to create a text lump to make a sky box?

You can't make a ZDoom map without particle fountains and shitty cutscenes? Oh well.

Whenever I make a Zdoom map I prefer to make a more unique map for gameplay reasons, and since CC3 is trying to stick to standard gameplay, I wouldn't be able to get any inspiration to make a regular gameplay Zdoom map. As strange as that sounds, it's true.

I'd like a map, I'm not too fussy which one though.

What the hell do cutscenes and particle fountains have to do with gameplay?

I never said people had to stick to standard gameplay, I said they had to actually have constant gameplay, and not break it up by freezing the player or cutting to some cutscene.

Well, cutscenes need to be banned, but I can't see any reason for banning particle fountains - I mean they hardly get abused, and can add a nice touch to maps.

So's your mom but you don't see me complaining. :P Anyway, I think that particle fountains used sparingly are ok, especially if they actually make sense where they are. I think that anyone who makes a level with a particle fountain(s) should indicate so in their .txt or whatever so that if Ling feels that it ruins the level, he can remove them.

Should these be Doom or Doom-Hexen format?

Uhhh Doom-Hexen since isn't that the only way to do all the ZDoom specific nonsense?

What the hell is a particle fountain supposed to be? If it's a blue one I guess you can claim it's water although it looks nothing like water. Other colored particle fountains are just... things... that Randy added in for some reason, they don't make any sense and they look hideous.

Sing me on up for MAP29. I need to work on my zdoom abilities anyhow. This will be nice practice. I'll be using MRW foes in the map, if nobody has any frothing complaints against it.

You can do some ZDoom nonsense in a non-Hexen format map.

You're the third person to ask for that map number :P.

I believe all the standard map numbers are taken now, so anyone else wanting to join will have to request something higher. Though as has already been said a few times, Ling will eventually be readjusting the order of the finished levels anyway.

Perhaps merely stating whether you want to work on a "a low difficulty", "very high difficulty", or whatever map would be a better idea.

I don't intend to use skyboxes, and I just don't have the patience to make the necessary MAPINFO lump to set my sky to the city sky. I know about the Wiki, by the way, so you can forget about linking me to it.

heh, well, i was going to make a difficult, hell based map. I don't really care what level number it gets.

someone update the listing, better yet, make a new sticky thread containing the listing.

I could put two particle fountains in my map that would make sense, but I could just change the fountains into statues if that's too much trouble.

WHY DOES EVERYONE WANT PARTICLE FOUNTAINS SO BAD!? They're hideous and there is no use for them. The only Zdoom particle thing that is even REMOTELY useful is the elctric spark. Rip some water sprites or draw your own for god sakes if you need water or sludge that bad.

Agreed. It isn't like your map will be any worse without particle fountains. Be more creative!

That's not the point. I have never been very good at coding. The weapon mods I've put out in the past have only been the product of much swearing, crashing, and reexamining tutorials to make sure I'm doing things right. Often times it's sheer luck that I get things working right.
