I've been working on this since I finished the beta of my other map, and have had enough time to finish the layout and gameplay. I still have a lot of detailing to do, but I think I'll be able to get this done before all the spots get filled up (It'll sure be hard because of the rapid pace people have been taking with their maps :p)

Here are some screenshots, keep in mind that I still have a lot of detailing to do:

If you look behind that silver bar (duct?) you can see...
...CRATES!!!

Wouldn't this make a great waterpark?

Looks good to me already..

The first shot's height proportions look awkward. The ceiling in specific feels a bit... off. Last shot's good.

Also, the shots as though you're testing with a port like zDoom or Skulltag... Just to avoid in potential headaches, I'd really recommend using prBoom+ for this.

Wish I could, but prBoom and derivatives are really bright on my computer for some reason.

That's probably because they ship with the gamma setting turned up for some reason. You might try setting it back to 1.0 with the F11(?) key. I think their menus also have a seperate gamma setting for taking screenshots, so you might want to check that, too.

PrBoom should have brightness and contrast settings.

But anyway; have you done any lighting at all yet? Looks really really boring light-wise.

Textures are a bit boring too, but thats more of a personal taste ;)

Looks good architecturally.

Layout and architecture looks decent so far... but I really don't like the texturing, I can't put my finger on it but the texturing doesn't blend in nicely with itself, it looks like your using custom textures just for the sake of using custom textures. But that might just be me.

I've searched all the menus for something like that. Maybe I'm being a dumbass and missing something?

It might just be my limited english skills, but what I meant was that PrBoom doesnt have it, but it really should ;P

Press the F11 key until it looks right.

Disregard that, I was thinking of Eternity.

But yeah, you probably just need to turn the gamma correction off.

I think you might recognize this as one of the areas in the other pics, but now with DETAIL!!!!

I agree that this is looking decent and showing a lot of potential but that a lot of the textures/details need a little improvement or consistency. I can't complain much about the last shot though!

Those red panels have to go... They clash horribly with the green/brown/gray scheme present.

I actually think their one of the better looking parts of the shot, but I'm partially colorblind so you probably have a better idea of how good it looks than me.

Yeah, I just think the red teklite recolors are pretty hideous looking to begin with. Architecturally, it looks quite nice.

Add a 4x4 trim around those bricks in the first screen shot so you don't have 1/4 brick texture cut-off, other than that it's nice to see your cool map style.

Hey, the 3D effect in shot 1 looks cool- no clue how to do that. But anyway, shots look good, except maybe add some light variation; you'll probably do that last though anyway.

What's the technique for the 3D wall detail? I don't believe I've seen that done in Boom before, not with a visible flat like that.

edit: Wait, I think I might know what it is now. I remember trying it and finding it absolutely impossible to wrap my head around well enough to make it work. <_>

Here's a demo of the effect: http://www.mediafire.com/?6dsjcf2h1ysdl03

This is used in the first map of PHOBOS, where I learned it.

Your level gameplay looks very good, not as liner as my levels :(

It'll be a definitely great map!

Re "Looking out the window" - the fine-grained green ASHWALL texture you used for the far wall becomes quite a pixel pile when seen from a distance and looks more like a heap of green sand due to its white pixels. Since sand would not pile, I would only use it for lesser height differences, and conversely, for the heights you chose, pick ZIMMER1/2 instead, or if workable, a green-tinted variant of ASHWALL2/3.

None of the textures are ASHWALL, can you say where the problematic texture is located in the picture?

I just ran into a problem:

I changed the music to a track from Duke Nukem 3D (Pissed Office Box.) Basically the track plays fine in PrBoom, but in zdoom it sounds all messed up. Anyone know what causes this and how to fix it?

From my own experience, alot of Duke midis get messed up in Zdoom and Skulltag. The one from DukeE2M1 also gets messed up.
