DM map, care to test it?

Despite my last attempt to get testers being a bit of a non starter, I'm giving it another go!

Some people suggested that a large DM was needed, this ones not quite on the scale of map13 of DOOM2 (it's roughly 3000x3000 units) but that can change. Interested?

I'll try it.

Let's see it.

File sent, enjoy :)

That's cool! I really like that instantly appearing bridge that only
appears when you are walking accross it; that's really cool.

There are a few misaligned textures here and there (above the exit
door, the sides of the doorframes leading from one place to another.
Over all, I think it is a really great DM level. A bit big for 2-3
players, but I guess that's the point. With 10 players, this map would
rock big-time. :)

Good work!

Send to me too please!

VolteFace: Map27 of GreenWar has insta bridges. :)

Ah cool, never noticed that; however, they appear, but don't disappear,
which is something that does happen in fen boi's.

Hellbent *COUHGS* and contorts and writhes on the ground in agony and then dies.

Go play the map again.

..... OK.....


What?

OK, n/m I'm just retarded. You are using some Boom tag to lower the
platform, while I was using doom2.exe. It works fine in ZDoom, although
you may want to change that tag to the 'raise floor to lowest adjacent
ceiling' tag, and then make an off-map adjacent sector with a ceiling
height of 0 (or whatever the ground-level is). That'll make it instant.

tnt makes inviso bridges

It was playing Hellbent's map that gave me the idea, though I had to do some searching to find a Doom2.exe compatible version (gothicdm map25). It really helps to speed your transition through the map.

I've also used the effect in my one-on-one map, where it plays a pivotal role in the game.

Volteface, The bridge will stay up if you kill the player on it, which is what you may have seen.

No, I was just running through it single player. I tried it a few
times with bots, but the bots don't have their nodes, so it was
really bad. :p

Hellbent said in an email to Fen Boi:

I *thought* there might be away to do insta bridges without resorting to
BOOM linedef types. I just couldn't figure it out! But I see how you've
done it. I should have realized.

Ok, the maps improved in the looks department (not as dark/bland) and has a few minor tweaks to the architecture and item placement. I'd be gratefull for feedback about ammo/weapon placement etc, also whether powerups such as soulspheres should be added. I'll send the map to those who are interested.
