Hub of Pain: my new Doom2/BOOM pwad.

http://www.securitronlinux.com/files/hub.zip

This map is for Doom2 MAP01 and requires a limit removing BOOM source port. Since I am tired of making Zdoom maps, I wanted to make something for prboom instead, I will be finishing this map as a medium difficulty map with a few hitscanners and tougher monsters mixed in. Please tell me what you think. I have re-used some areas from a couple of my unreleased maps and made quite a large and interconnected map.





New area, the torture room.

Hello, I tested your map using prboom on linux, on UV. It worked fine, only slime trail I saw was here: http://i.imgur.com/SAqkl.png
Overall, I think it's turning out pretty cool. Nice detail. Although I admit that the first 3 times I played it wasn't so "medium difficulty" to me :P Eventually I managed to kill all the baddies and ended with a decent amount of health and about 20 shells, so I guess that's ok! Looking forward to play the whole thing!

I would suggest picking another name for it (to avoid confusion with Evilution MAP04)

I like those color combinations, reminds me of Hexen.

Map updated, I have added a hub styled layout to the second courtyard and added a rocket launcher to the map to deal with the larger monsters I have added. Hopefully this version will be popular, this map is for Boom ports as it has too much detail for chocolate-doom, I got a VPO in the first room :).

Bumping again, I have been doing some more work on this map and the exit and all other keys are in place and more areas branching off the hub. I hope you like what I have done with this map. This map is for Boom 2.02 or similar. prboom preferred.

I have completed this map and uploaded it to /pub/idgames/incoming as hub.zip. I have added many new features to the map and removed others as well as allowing the player to go outside and snipe the monsters through the windows of the buildings allowing you to make the run for the keys a little easier. I have tweaked the gameplay and added a very useful secret area at the start of the map.

Hopefully this map will be in /newstuff very soon and will be acessible for those who want to try it out. Also, I have noticed that map18mem.wad, or "Not in my Courtyard" is in /newstuff, so check that awesome map out. Anyway I have really enjoyed making this map and I hope to see a review of it, whether positive or not I know someone will enjoy playing my level. And check out map18mem as well, that wad rocks!

Please do not make another ZDoom format map ever again.

This goes for the rest of you, too.

This map works fine in prboom & glboom, it is not Zdoom format.

What a helpful, relevant, and informative post.
