Abyssal Speedmapping Session 27 - Proud Sponsor of Bullshit Mapnames!

Hi everyone, I will probably begin compiling maps tomorrow afternoon. A few things I want to address:

- If you don't want your nodes to be rebuilt, please include all 4 player starts.
- Please ensure you list the music you used, the amount of time it took you to build it, and the themes you chose with your maps.
- I will probably stream this on Monday evening (20:00 GMT), and hopefully a shoddy compilation will be available tomorrow at some point, so you will probably be able to stream it before me if you want to.

:( If the next half thingie is going to be at 5am for me...looks like no ASS map from me this month...shame too with the pack and all... ;_;

heh, couldn't even wait for me to actually release the mapset before aping the resources? I'm not bothered or anything seeing as it's obviously credited, would've been nice to ask first though.

Very considerate TMD good job

Was looking for Ribbiks to get online to ask. I got flustered by technical difficulties though. You are an absolute prince of a man, ribbiks, and I will build several temples in your honor.

To clarify, I was under impression that somebody had asked permission, and I felt really bad for several hours when I found out it wasn't true.

could you do me a favor and delay putting this on /idgames though? would be distasteful if it got uploaded before I get around to finishing the remaining maps and properly crediting the multitude of sources for the sd20x7 textures.

You are required to feel really bad for 5 hours, or alternately, really really bad for 1 hour, 3 minutes, 6 seconds, and 9 attoseconds. Once you've paid this emotional penance you can resume running ASS27 as you have been.

Here's an update, all it does is move the void monsters out of sound range because I forgot to do it at the end.

V0.96

Of course. I will also dedicate the ASS27 INTERPIC as a personal apology letter to you.

Updated version of my map. Has multiplayer stuff + HNTR/HMP. No music yet. Probably won't use the piece I linked, because I like that one a lot and don't want to rush it to completion.

Not actually finished. I had to deal with an outside crisis and just lost steam. I'll let someone else finish it if they'd like. Preferably with rockets, as that's Obsidian's folly :P

I liked the level. I mean, yes, there were enough Lost Souls to drive you mad, but the level itself is very nice, featuring many ways to tackle something, but the level is mostly "run-there-then-go-back-and-repeat". But, I liked it. I didn't bother killing everyone since it's optional and a pain (elemental).

Thanks for your FDA :) I will be look it today later.
In my opinion I'm not very good managed to balance the enemies and ammunition on this map.

MAP FOR ROUND 2

Skeleton's cross

Themes: 20x7, Skeletons, light change effects
Music: vanilla D_RUNNIN
Build time: 2h (I started this map at 1 hour later (I started this map in an hour after the announcement of round 2)

Very late upload, took me awhile, but it's probably my best speedmap yet. Sunlust/Ribbiks inspired. :P

Map Name
Themes: light change, skeletons, Stardate 20x7 textures.
Music: Unholy Voices from Blood
Time taken: 3.5 hours (4 hours with tuneup below)

The smallest update to my map, featuring just a HOM and making the Baron trap even harder. Same link: http://www.mediafire.com/download/k0rkl359ot6t7nv/Hilspitz.wad

Update to my map fixing some bugs and balancing, should be pretty much final now unless any other bugs are discovered. Edit: if the wad is compiled tomorrow, I could play it on stream, otherwise I'll wait until next weekend probably.

Haha that last baron trap OMG :(

You really nailed it. Very nice play there. I hope you enjoyed my map, you played it just as I intended (but you killed the Mancubi while I ran past them on my runs). That Baron trap is inspired by Plutonia since I recently watched UglyStru's playthrough. Thanks for the FDA!

Very very very very very very small update to my map, same link.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/47ih4fj6cz9hvye/ass27v01.zip?dl=1

I took 20x7, stripped the maps and some unnecessary resources, stuck our ass maps in their place, and tadah! Also it's zipped because of that one animated texture. Expect bugs. This should include all updates up to this post too.

Okay, Surreily, it seems you forgot to put NuclearPotato's map and you put Vanger_ru's map twice as a mistake.

Also, what's the proposed map order?

Update: I finished a usable draft of my track.

"Amethyst Princess"

http://www.mediafire.com/download/23h5fbbkxihil9h/rdwpa_ap2.mid

This can be added to the wad.

I'll think of a mapname sometime between now and the next update.

Another fix. :\

Rebalanced one fight to make it less cheeseable and fixed a bug that caused the map to be incompletable in GZDoom.

Just a heads up. One can easily cheese Obsidans map. The lift leading to the exit cal be pulled from the starting position, making map completable in about 2 seconds.
