Dragonfly Posted September 28, 2016 I'm almost finished with my map. It's probably not hard enough given it's position in the wad though. If that's the case I can beef up difficulty. Either way, I should be done in the next week or so. 0 Share this post Link to post
Voros Posted September 28, 2016 Doesn't have to difficult. Just fun both in terms of gameplay and detailing. 0 Share this post Link to post
Cacowad Posted September 28, 2016 Just letting you know, the texture pack still does not work under doombuilder 2. 0 Share this post Link to post

Considering I limited myself to Vanilla I feel I've got detail down as solidly as I can with the limitations! As for gameplay, I'll let you all be the judge when I eventually post my map. I feel it's enjoyable but I'm biased and have the misfortune of knowing where everything is going to attack from, where all secrets are etc. 0 Share this post Link to post
Voros Posted September 28, 2016 Ahhhh! What the hell, still? Alright everyone, go back to using aquatex_v6.wad. Link is available in the OP. Those who don't have it anymore, please download it again, pronto. No buts. I'm going to look into this matter a little further, but i have settled on my decision. This mapset will be made on aquatex_v6. No extra, updated stuff from SLDR packs. Isn't the fact that it's a jmickle texture pack enough? It's only a small test! Oh Gothic, your level isnt that hard in terms of enemies, but can be confusing. 0 Share this post Link to post
Cacowad Posted September 28, 2016 The fact is, it was still missing the texure lump, are you sure you updated the link? 0 Share this post Link to post
Voros Posted September 28, 2016 The TEXTURE1 lump must be in there. How could it not? The link is fine. Guaranteed. I'll just check things out more later. 0 Share this post Link to post
Angry Saint Posted September 28, 2016 For me it's working. But you removed many textures I used, now I have to retexture everything. I don't like how this experiment is managed. The resources should be a certainty, not a volatile thing. But I will complete my map anyway, it is always a fun. EDIT: i retextured everything. Now it crashes when I test in chocolate doom. I first thought it was my map, but then I created a two sector level with the new textures and it crashed. The error is W_CacheLumpNum: 41257988 > = numlumps which from what I understand derives from something wrong in the flats or sprites resources? 0 Share this post Link to post
Dragonfly Posted October 1, 2016 Download. Map08 Aquatex textures (Tell me if there's any issues / if I was using the wrong version) Doom2 IWAD Vanilla Compatible Freedoom Compatible Multiplayer Starts One Deathmatch start (I realised half way through development there's no way this would work as a DM map, so there's not too much point concerning over start locations) Approx 8 mins of gameplay on first playthrough Can be speedrun in 1 minute (Assuming you're slightly better than I am, current personal record is 1 min 12 sec) Consider this map a submission to Freedoom, if the team wishes it to be part of the project. 0 Share this post Link to post
Voros Posted October 1, 2016 That was very nice! You really showed off the detail Dragonfly! Do have a good MIDI for it in mind? I'll be playing this more to find any bugs and all that. Thanks for the map Dragonfly! 0 Share this post Link to post
Voros Posted October 1, 2016 Angry Saint, Aquatex uses an ANIMATED lump. ANIMATED lumps are a Boom feature. So the texture pack wouldn't work properly in vanilla Doom. 0 Share this post Link to post
Dragonfly Posted October 1, 2016 I think I included one of the midis from freedoom that I liked. I am able to hubt for a different midi later on. Perhaps one of Jimmy's midis might be good! 0 Share this post Link to post

So how am I supposed to create a Vanilla map for this project is I cannot play it in Chocolate Doom? Ok, I may play it in boom, but it wouldn't be honest I think to call it Vanilla... 0 Share this post Link to post
Voros Posted October 2, 2016 Ok so you're making a vanilla format map. As long as it runs in Boom based ports, you're fine. And why wouldn't your map be called vanilla? You are making it in vanilla format(limit removing is another story, but either way the map format is vanilla). The only reason it's not running in vanilla Doom is the texture pack, not the map. 0 Share this post Link to post
Voros Posted October 2, 2016 I got your MIDI Dragonfly. Is this final or do you want to change it? 0 Share this post Link to post

Yes, you're right, but mapping for Vanilla I would like to test my map in a vanilla port, just to be sure. But I may simply remove the animdef lump and see what happens. 0 Share this post Link to post
Voros Posted October 2, 2016 Removing the ANIMATED lump will cause the new flats to not function. But it will most likely still work. Why go through the trouble? You could use PrBoom's compatibility level feature instead. 0 Share this post Link to post

Blastfrog Posted October 5, 2016 Here, I fixed up your SLDR texture pack. I removed the LOGO texture and the liquid textures. I also removed the ANIMATED lump. Give this a shot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/w7hzi6xpvxvq1q4/aquatex_v7.wad?dl=0 0 Share this post Link to post
Voros Posted October 5, 2016 ^I'll check it out, but why did you remove the liquid flats and ANIMATED lump? Vanilla compatibility? Although I won't be using it for this experiment, because it would be just plain annoying and rude to the mappers. Plus, maps use those awesome liquid flats. But, since it vanilla compatible, Freedoom could use it, but that's another topic. 0 Share this post Link to post
Dragonfly Posted October 5, 2016 The liquids in my map are easily replaceable with vanilla liquids, if needed. 0 Share this post Link to post
Voros Posted October 6, 2016 ^no need. This experiment isn't aiming for vanilla compatibility. 0 Share this post Link to post
Voros Posted October 7, 2016 Gothic, there are HOMs in your map, both in aquatex V6 and SLDR tex. please fix this. And the current thing count is fine for UV. Work from there for the skill levels below UV. 0 Share this post Link to post
Gothic Posted October 9, 2016 Ok, here is the final version of my map, with level difficulties and all that fancy stuff. http://www.mediafire.com/file/8pz479fnzcy7t5e/aquaGot2.zip Map name: Delta Base (because I'm too lazy to come up with a better name) By the way Voros, I couldn't find any HOM, where did you find them? 0 Share this post Link to post
Voros Posted October 9, 2016 Gothic said:By the way Voros, I couldn't find any HOM, where did you find them? In a lot of places. Next to the red door. In the hallway with the Chaingunners (just before the 3D bridge), the room with the blue key, etc Although it's on aquagoth.wad, I haven't checked your aquagoth2.wad yet. 0 Share this post Link to post
