Guest Posted November 3, 2012 Yeah, give those some thought. If I understand correctly, the plan currently is to release the maps when everything is SP ready, and then later release an update with full multiplayer support. But if you are happy to make your map SP and DM compatible, it will be there for later. 0 Share this post Link to post

Ok, I'll make my map Quarry-inspired then. Dont let my choice of map elements stop you from making a Heck inspired map! I was only using certain parts. My mp28 is huge and takes a little bit from a lot of the later TNT maps. 0 Share this post Link to post
purist Posted November 5, 2012 Starting work proper on MAP25 tonight. I have a layout sketched and a theme decided upon. It's going to be called Spider Colony and will vary between underground tech-mine/hell rock caverns and larger quarry-type areas. Will someone please PM me the texture resource or tell me where to find it? 0 Share this post Link to post
cannonball Posted November 5, 2012 I might as well update where I am with my map25 attempt, it's an mix of overground hellified techbase with some mining/quarry areas leading to a marble temple on one side a hellish caverns on the other. It will be called Cataclysmic Excavation. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/15/tnt2map251.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/856/tnt2map252.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/838/tnt2map253.jpg/ This is still pretty early stages to be honest but thought I might as well provide some proof that I am doing something. @Purist, I used the textures taken from the demo wad, that seems to have worked fine for me. 0 Share this post Link to post

Interesting start you have there. And good thinking on taking the textures from the demo. I wouldn't have thought of that. Though as you will have noticed, there are quite a few differences in the texture pack now. And more to come, as you will see. purist said: Proof of work: [image] This is a start on what will be the penultimate area. More details will follow once all the essentials are in. [/B] Looks good: dark and threatening. Can't tell much from the size of the pic tho. :( Ok. Texture pack changes. There are two changes that may affect previously completed maps: has become: (Texture and patch DOWINDOW) So in the unlikely event that you used the original stained glass window thing, well now it will look borked. But I figured probably no one will have used the original, as it looks like poo and is not a convienent size anyway (64x68). If you have used it and really really want it back in, post here or PM me. And: All the old TNT crates have been replaced. These are still placeholders, though they are still close enough to the final result that they will give a good idea for mappers. 0 Share this post Link to post
Guest Posted November 7, 2012 Other changes: new DOWINDOG texture. All of the RW26 patches have had minor edits. (The bolts are all realigned is the main change.) The original DOGOLDIR texture has had a touch up: is now: Also, 2 recoolors: 0 Share this post Link to post
Guest Posted November 7, 2012 And now, soz for the *record breaking* triple post. STEPPLAT texture. Put in for a convenient border texture for stairs and stuff. The two new flats to go with the new wooden crates. And some assorted new flats. And other edits and stuff which aren't worth posting here. (Even more not worth posting here I mean.) Whoo and all mappers, I'll get this sent out in the next day or two. 0 Share this post Link to post
darkreaver Posted November 7, 2012 A couple of pics (not choco-doom, I know). Some texture changes are to be done though. DeathevokatioN will help out a little with finishing the map up. Unless I change my mind, the map will be called "Subterraneal Magnitude" 0 Share this post Link to post
purist Posted November 7, 2012 Another tiny -devparm shot from chocolaterenderlimits. After this I'll post from PRBoom+ This one might give you an idea of how I'm planning for the tech areas in the map to look. 0 Share this post Link to post

Guest Posted November 8, 2012 @darkreaver. I see some new areas since I looked at the original layout. Great stuff. And Deathevocation welcome aboard dude. I have noticed you have a good eye for all things vanilla. @purist. I like that shot. Very tnt-esque. Possibly you could change those blue lights for green ones. I'm just thinking it might match better with the green pillars. Just a thought. :) Avoozl said:Stained glass window? I thought it was military webbing. :P The fact that we can't tell whether the original texture is a stained glass window or military webbing makes me feel I made the right decision in replacing it. :O waverider said:Since the work with my map for slot 22 isn't going as planned, I think it's better that I give up my slot.

All good waverider. Thank you for your work. :) Whoo in that case, could I potentially book the slot? The reason is there are actually 2 centrafuse maps that I did with xenonemisis, but only one of them is currently listed in the mapslots roster. I was leaving it as a spare map, but I might as well stick it in at this point. Both of those maps are completed. 0 Share this post Link to post

Guest Posted November 8, 2012 Good point. In truth I myself always thought it was a dead vine thing. I have redone it, but not replaced it entirely. It is too iconic to the whole tnt thing. 0 Share this post Link to post

purist Posted November 8, 2012 I've started to venture into the colony's caves... but it's a little dark in there for screenshots at the moment so here's a stairwell: The pic is taken in ZDoom but it has been VPO proofed in Chocorenderlimits first. For some reason I've not been able to play this in PRBoom+. I get an Check IWAD error even though TNT.WAD is in the same folder as the .exe - any ideas anyone? I could do with it being sorted before I get much further as PRBoom+ is my playtesting port of choice. 0 Share this post Link to post

It's Xaser-will-probably-report-its-use-in-a-map-as-a-bug bad. :P A faithful-in-structure version is really in order if it's going to be available for mappers to use. Even a simple edit to remove the awful green pixels would be better. Sure, it's an iconic TNT-ism, but not the sort one ought to emulate. :P 0 Share this post Link to post

Avoozl Posted November 10, 2012 KiiiYiiiKiiiA, I realize I mistook the texture for one of the others, it is supposed to be a glass window like you said but don't you think you could make it look broken like the original one? 0 Share this post Link to post

purist Posted November 11, 2012 HELP! I've hit a problem with my map. I can't test my map in Chocorenderlimits or Chocolate Doom as it crashes with a "R_TextureNumForName: XX not found" error. Where XX is there are two squares, which is preventing me find/replacing in Doombuilder. The textures I'm using are as follows: COMPBLUE CRWDL64A DOORBLU3 DOORT16B LITE_GN METAL METAL2 METAL2BD METAL3 METAL4 METAL5 METAL7A METALDR METALP05 METALTK4 MIDVINE1 PIPES14 ROCK4 ROCK5 SKSNAKE2 SPCDOOR3 STEP2 STEPLAD1 STEPMETL STEPSIL1 STEPSILV STONE4 STONE6 SUPPBBR1 SUPPMM2M SUPPMM2M SUPPMV08 SUPPMV16 SUPPORT3 SUPPORT5 SUPPORTD SUPPRBR1 SW1MET2 SW1SKIN TEKWALLG ZIMMER1 Please can someone help me here? Also, I've still not been able to get it load it in PRBoom+ either, which will cause me problems when I'm testing gameplay. To update, the layout of the map is now 80% finished, with detailing a little further behind and thingplacement only just in the starting stages. 0 Share this post Link to post
