Job Posted November 29, 2013 How many map packs or wads have been successfully completed that utilize other people's unfinished maps? There was a thread awhile back where one user was asking for people's incomplete wads with the intention of finishing them or something like that. Why not try to do a "Harlequin" wad for Doom 2, comprised of unfinished submissions. Submissions will be grouped together based upon the general theme they follow. For example, submissions following a Hell theme would be listed in one section and then pieced together. Then, base-themed maps, wood/metal maps and so on. This will ensure that the maps will look somewhat cohesive, while having a somewhat disjointed and disconcerting feel (as opposed to the randomization you get from a SLIGE map). If you have maps that you think have potential, but are languishing on your computer because you didn't have the time or drive to finish them, sign up now. One room done so far? No problem. Please note if your submission uses scripting, non-stock textures or a specific format/sourceport. Credit will be given to the author of each unfinished map used and the person who stitches them together. After all, waste not, want not.

Havoc Crow Posted November 30, 2013 So, uh... is this supposed to be a mapset made up simply of unfinished maps? (what if they don't even have an exit?) Or are people supposed to finish each other's maps? 0 Share this post Link to post

Or are people supposed to finish each other's maps? Good questions. Once the sectors of the unfinished maps are put together, anything necessary to make it a completely functional map can be added at that point (i.e. player starts, exits, fixed errors, item balance, etc.). Originally, I was intending to take all the submissions and do that work myself, but if anyone wants to help, that would be great. Of course, credit is given to the author of each unfinished map used and the person who stitches them together - I'll update the OP to say this. 0 Share this post Link to post
joe-ilya Posted November 30, 2013 A bunch of skulltag maps I made when I first tried to make maps and skulltag still existed in multiplayer. http://www.mediafire.com/download/6sp11h7i4v6spnq/doom0alpha.wad 0 Share this post Link to post
Job Posted November 30, 2013 Thanks for the contribution, joe-ilya. After going through your wad, the best fit I could find was in the Other/Gonzo theme. I've got you listed in the OP now. 0 Share this post Link to post
Bucket Posted November 30, 2013 I've heard this proposed many times. I never hear about such projects being finished. Sadly, my problem is not finishing maps but starting them. 0 Share this post Link to post

Well, that may not help me much, but at least you don't have a bunch of unfinished maps on your computer. Ragnor said:True to the source then? Not sure I get your meaning. 0 Share this post Link to post
Bucket Posted December 1, 2013 He means a megawad of unfinished levels going unfinished. I think. 0 Share this post Link to post
Job Posted December 1, 2013 Bucket said:He means a megawad of unfinished levels going unfinished. I think. Ah, okay. The only way this won't get done is if there aren't enough submissions. Whether this project is completed or not ultimately depends on the DW forum members. 0 Share this post Link to post
Memfis Posted December 1, 2013 oh cool, I can dump all my shit here :) Triplex03-31 - two maps for prboom-plus -complevel 2, new textures and other graphics + dehacked. tnt2final - one map to play with TNT as iwad and tnt2 as additional pwad (for textures; load it before tnt2final), tested in vanilla, OK. Colormahera - one map for prboom-plus -complevel 2, new textures and sprites, based on OBLIGE or SLIGE level, I don't know for sure (people more familiar with level generators should be able to tell I guess). kuchitsushish - 7 maps for prboom-plus -complevel 2, new textures and sprites. jutecstl - one map for prboom-plus -complevel 3, iwad DOOM, new textures and sprites. jutecstl2 - one map for prboom-plus -complevel 3, iwad DOOM, new textures and sprites. mlpvnazi - one map for prboom-plus -complevel 2, new textures and sprites. hzpoka - one map for prboom-plus -complevel 2. intodeep - one map for prboom-plus -complevel 2, requires a texture pack that is included in the zip. requimem3 - one map for prboom-plus -complevel 2, requires requiem.wad for textures. eureka - one map for prboom-plus -complevel 2, new textures. mdl - one map for prboom-plus -complevel 2, new textures (and sprites? don't remember). arcaneme1-2 - two maps for prboom-plus -complevel 9, requires a texture pack that I'm not allowed to share I think, but at least you can have the level geometry. tnt2mcrap - 3 maps for vanilla, iwad TNT, some might need tnt2 wad for textures. skillsaw - one map for prboom-plus -complevel 9, needs lunatic.wad for textures (load it before skillsaw.wad) I hope this will help you get the project started. I'll try to find more maps to post but my Doom folder is a mess so it might take some time. 0 Share this post Link to post

General Rainbow Bacon Posted December 1, 2013 Here's a small dump from me: 5 random things I started but never did anything with. Enjoy. All use stock textures http://www.mediafire.com/download/swlxfs3ohxrw2ud/GRBsRejectwads.zip 0 Share this post Link to post

Job Posted December 1, 2013 Thanks again to General Rainbow Bacon and Memfis for the great submissions. Your maps are updated in the OP now. After seeing the variety of maps offered, I had to make some changes and expand the themes listed in the OP, but that's a good problem. Part of the challenge is getting enough submissions to create functional levels, because some of the maps provided are starting areas or several rooms, whereas some are nearly complete levels. This is a great start, but we have a long way to go. After sifting through the maps received so far, I'm both intimidated and excited at the challenge of this project. But thanks to the talented and generous members of this community, we have a solid foundation! 0 Share this post Link to post
Tristan Posted December 2, 2013 Base1.wad, posted some shots of this in the picture thread, it was the one with the spires. I was only going to delete it eventually. EDIT: I can't remember the format used. Either Doom 2 or Boom. Stock textures. 0 Share this post Link to post

Stupid Bunny Posted December 2, 2013 I have a few submissions I could throw at you, an eclectic mix of my (awful) first maps, an unfinished 1024 map, and a couple ZDoom projects that didn't pan out. They're on another computer, though, so it could be a while. Plus all of them suck and most are no more than a few rooms, so you and other contributors would have your work cut out for you. 0 Share this post Link to post

Feel free to send them this way. Based on what I've received so far, most maps that are extremely "goofy" will probably end up combined into secret levels, since most of those have strange gameplay elements or even SS guys. At this point, I don't really have any standards for what can be submitted. All I ask is if you can state which map slot it occupies and what style it is, that will save me some time. Thanks! 0 Share this post Link to post
Chainie Posted December 3, 2013 I'm not work on this maps more than year, but maybe it can be good part of map. Iwad doom2 map map01.All wads maybe can work in Vanilla Doom. http://speedy.sh/xED5q/Deadoom.zip 0 Share this post Link to post
Megalyth Posted December 14, 2013 I don't know if you're still doing anything with this, but I've compiled a bunch of maps that I'll likely never finish, along with some scraps. If you can use them, go for it. They all run on map01 with the exception of d2twid_002.wad, which runs on map16. Link 03-15-10 - An outdoor tech-base intro section 03-29-12 - A section of a large, blocky outdoor base with lots of nukage 07-18-13 - This was going to be a large, non-linear marble/stone/metal map laid out like a gothic city 08-28-13 - A small tech-base start area 09-19-13 - A large, non-linear tech-base map that was left unfinished 12-06-11 - The first few areas of a gothic/hell map with ludicrous amounts of detail 12-07-11 - Ditto, could probably be stitched together with the previous file 12-18-11 - I was going to try my hand at a large-scale gothic/hell slaughter map, never got past the first area d2twid_001 - A left-over from when I was working on Passage to Exile, a simple puzzle in a small marble arena d2twid_002 - The beginnings of what was to be a Doom2-styled city map doom2_wip_001 - A few sections of yet another meticulously detailed gothic/hell map I began years ago, could possibly be used with 12-06-11 and 12-07-11 doom2_wip_002 - The beginnings of what I'd envisioned as a massive gothic structure built into a huge lava canyon plutonia_001_wip - The first few areas of a map I began several years ago using the Plutonia resources; moderate detail 0 Share this post Link to post
