Flesh420 Posted July 28, 2013 I've always wanted to make a mine themed map and am about to get the ball rolling and screed this sucker out. My map should be done within few weeks. 0 Share this post Link to post

pcorf Posted July 31, 2013 MY MAP IS DONE!!! http://www.mediafire.com/?r7rf3z6ioo3mkyu Level name : Visation Port: Boom compatible Author(s) : Pcorf Build time : A few days editor(s) used : Doom Builder 2.1, XWE and Cakewalk Sonar 7 for music. Music track : popul.mid, a remix of popular midi files used in WAD's which I composed. The remix is based on Heretic E3M9, with some Rott and Duke3D songs and Doom 2 readme. Playtesting : Nothing serious. Just ammo balance. Hope its hard. Bugs : Maybe the gameplay is bad and I rushed it. Inspiration : Boredom :D Author's comments : Hard base/gothic level with an outdoor courtyard. The northern area is a tuneup of an old 1996 map I made named briklift.wad. 0 Share this post Link to post

AtTheGates Posted July 31, 2013 Retog said:Guys sorry but I found another mistake in my wad. This one should be 100% working now: http://www.mediafire.com/?3axuy1nqfps4ve3 some observations: - the backpack can be picked up even before the alcove lowers. it's also not flagged as a secret? so either raise the alcove and turn it into a secret, with the backpack only accessible if you lower it, or leave the backpack like it is but remove the lowering floor. - i usually don't like to criticize the style of maps because i think that's something quite subjective, but in my opinion the map would benefit greatly if you added some more lighting to it. some of the tunnels, especially the narrow ones, would look better if they were darker, and some sectors with lights brighter. good lighting doesn't take that much time and can add greatly to the atmosphere of a map without having to add a million sectors for detail. - i'm not a big fan of mixing doors that open by themselves with doors that can be activated. i prefer consistency, it's less confusing. - the rad suit seemed quite pointless / the acid area seemed pointless.. until i realized there is another one later in the level where i should have probably rushed to. - you might want to look at the ammo balance a bit, it seemed a bit excessive after a while, but tight in the beginning. - also not a big fan of the exit, which comes without warning (i know, an exit sign there would be kind of weird, but let's face it, we don't play doom because it's realistic.) minor misaligned texture these demons can't come down the stairs - shooting gallery. pretty pointless. 0 Share this post Link to post

I love making the architecture but gameplay is my weakness. Glad it punished you. The aim is to make the Spider shoot the Hell Knights to get them to attack the big bitch. Just run out of the room as fast as possible, once you get 1 knight fighting others will get involved. The area after the blue key is a tuned up 1996 crapmap named briklift.wad pasted in. The original map had Barons. But this map is not a serious attempt as this mega project is nothing serious. Just had some fun in Doom Builder. 0 Share this post Link to post
Retog Posted July 31, 2013 AtTheGates said:some observations: Good points that I will take into consideration. Some of what you mentioned is supposed to be like that but I will change the lighting, the exit and fix the couple of errors you found. Thanks.

Yugiboy85 Posted August 3, 2013 Finnaly finished my map, now I can start working on a map for this project. I actually already started working on a map but nothing much to show for the moment. It's going to be a zdoom compatible map. Map slot is 01 for the moment. 0 Share this post Link to post
Superluigieth1 Posted August 5, 2013 well, i'm signing up. I'm gonna put a few plutonia textures (5, maybe?) so, count me in! 0 Share this post Link to post
Yugiboy85 Posted August 6, 2013 This may sound a little stupid but are you allowed to put a mapinfo lump or will the mapinfo lump be compiled at the end? 0 Share this post Link to post
TimeOfDeath Posted August 6, 2013 Yeah go for it if your map needs it, and at the end I'll add them all together. 0 Share this post Link to post
Yugiboy85 Posted August 9, 2013 Map is about 85% done, it will not be anything groundbreaking but it will be a medium sized map for ZDOOM (Done in UDMF format). A few "new" textures have been added with the prefixes of course. I really wanted to have fun with the builder. Anyways, the map should be finished today of tomorrow and I will keep in touch when it is. No screenshots, I want to keep it a secret ^^ 0 Share this post Link to post
BaronOfStuff Posted August 9, 2013 Finally started working on something, probably won't end up as long as last year's submission but then I'm not promising anything in that respect. Meaning it'll probably transform into some 700 monsters across some ludicrously sized map again. Oh well. 0 Share this post Link to post
TimeOfDeath Posted August 9, 2013 Haven't started yet, but I think I'll make a funny school map for zdoom... 0 Share this post Link to post

Yugiboy85 Posted August 11, 2013 Ok, here is my map for the project http://www.mediafire.com/download/3sw3848xg3l89bv/Water_control.wad Name: Water control Sourceport: Zdoom/gzdoom Map format: UDMF Map slot: Map 01 for now Build time: About 2 weeks Playtested: Yes, to see if everything goes well New textures: Yes with the prefix "TTR". Most of the textures are taken from various packs available at realm667. New monsters: No Music: Gut wrencher from DN 3D Aditionnal notes: Map size is about medium I guess. The map comes with a few text lumps (MAPINFO, SNDINFO and SNDSEQ). The mapinfo will be updated when I know the final map slot. This map is nothing groundbraking, I just wanted to have some fun and I managed to pull this out of my head. 0 Share this post Link to post

Baratus Posted August 13, 2013 Well, this mapping thing can't be all that hard, since my brother's so good at it, right? I present my prodigious efforts before you, Doomworld, 5 years since I last touched Doom Builder... this is Go To Hell. Good? Adequate? Awful? Well, that's really for YOU to decide. https://www.dropbox.com/s/bdgj9i3a0krkvdq/gotohell.wad Description Level name : Go To Hell Author(s) : Ben "Baratus aka Jimmybro" Paddock Build time : 10 hours Editor(s) used : Doom Builder 2, SLADE Source Port: Doom II (ZDoom Compatible) Playing Time: ~2 mins Music track : magmoor.mid because Hell maps Playtesting : I put some care into this, honest Bugs : Just some newbie mistakes here and there. Leaving them in. Want to get a laugh or two out of this. Inspiration : 5in100 speedmapping sessions you have here in which you guys - my brother included - are good at mapping and I am teh jealousy. Author's Note : Some MAPINFO included. You... might not want to leave all of it in. Description Description That description was completely stolen from Xaser's post. Oh crumbs! 0 Share this post Link to post
TimeOfDeath Posted August 13, 2013 Baratus, I listed your map as zdoom compatible because the first door uses an SR action with a zero tag. That's fine to leave it like that, but just letting you know anyway. 0 Share this post Link to post
Moustachio Posted August 14, 2013 I hope you guys aren't getting tired of E1-style maps, because here's another one! http://www.mediafire.com/download/lnmbq6e9e433523/laststand_D2.wad Description Level name : The Last Stand (V1.0) Map Slot: MAP01 Author(s) : Matt534Dog Build time : A couple of weeks.

Sorry about that! 0 Share this post Link to post
scifista42 Posted August 14, 2013 It's a Doom 1 map. It's against the rules. But a decent one. In fact it isn't E1 map, the only thing resembling E1 is the texturing mostly of the first parts. You're not sticking to E1 rules such as monster/item/texture usage, and the gameplay is much more frantic than anything in E1, thus resembing D2 more. I like it a lot. You can just take D1 textures and transform the map into Doom 2. One little thing: You've got there two soulsphere secrets and one berserk, but as far as I know, no (blue) armor, don't you wanna do something with that? 0 Share this post Link to post
Moustachio Posted August 14, 2013 Oh, there's a blue armor all right! Just a bit hidden is all... ;) Anyways, here's a Doom II version! EDIT: UPDATED BELOW! Sorry about that! I guess I just had a brain-fart. I had to sacrifice some textures, but the layout and items are still the same. 0 Share this post Link to post
scifista42 Posted August 14, 2013 You forgot to rename music lump. Also, please, add the D1 textures in, you can! It looked better. 0 Share this post Link to post
