raymoohawk Posted January 4, 2017 are there any decent mapsets that only use doom 2 monsters, without the doom 1 monsters being present? 0 Share this post Link to post
Danfun64 Posted January 4, 2017 Does the Pain Elemental count as a "Doom 2 only" monster? Technically the answer is yes, but since it spits out Lost Souls... 0 Share this post Link to post
raymoohawk Posted January 4, 2017 had not thought of that but lets say yes. as long as no doom 1 monsters are placed, but if one appears because of PE or spawn cube than that is ok 0 Share this post Link to post
LexiMax Posted January 4, 2017 I don't know of any, but I do question if any such map would actually be that fun to play. The addition of Doom 2 monsters was to add to and shore up holes in the Doom 1 bestiary. They presume that the Doom 1 monsters exist, removing them would leave new, more glaring holes. Also, how do Pain Elementals work in that case? 0 Share this post Link to post
Voros Posted January 4, 2017 A mapset containing only Doom 2 monsters? So no zombies (yay), no cyberdemons (dang), no SM (woohoo), no Barons (i approve the removal of this bullet sponge), no imps (darn it), no pinkies (damn), no lost souls (yes). Seems like a map with Doom 2 monsters will be significantly harder. 0 Share this post Link to post
raymoohawk Posted January 4, 2017 will lost souls would appear, but only if spawned by PEs, the lack of shotgunguy and zombieman would make things harder for the player i think, since there would be less shells and ammo available 0 Share this post Link to post

There would not be a major decline. Chord_ng is actually close to this. It has a few demons and quite a few barons, but other than that most of the monsters are chaingunners, revenants and HKs. And when remembering it while posting this, I didn't remember the Doom 1 monsters being there. I think it's a good example of this being possible. The map was hard. 0 Share this post Link to post

On the contrary, if the zombies are gone, the mapper should have the right sense to sprinkle the map with shells and bullets. Naturally. @unf somethings just won't go. 0 Share this post Link to post

In other words, killing each shotgun guy yields multiple times more ammo than how much it takes to kill him. That's what makes him a notable ammo generator, the more notable the more shotgun guys are in the map. Similarly with zombiemen, though their ratio of ammo / health is lesser. 0 Share this post Link to post

Voros Posted January 9, 2017 ^ Now all we need is an awesome texture pack. 0 Share this post Link to post
Maes Posted January 9, 2017 Probably some of the maps in Chillax, The Great Bicicle mystery and others qualify. 0 Share this post Link to post

Xaser Posted January 12, 2017 For the community project, is the SSG gonna be the only weapon allowed? :P [I'm now imagining a goofy DEHACKED patch that replaces fist and pistol with SSG. And all other weapons, too. Because SSG.] 0 Share this post Link to post
Megalyth Posted January 12, 2017 Xaser said:For the community project, is the SSG gonna be the only weapon allowed? :P I just had this same thought, heh. Nothing but Doom2 assets across the board. A few maps of SSG-only might be neat, but an entire mega-WAD would probably get old, unless all the maps are small and quick. 0 Share this post Link to post
Memfis Posted January 12, 2017 Uhh, what other objects are exclusive to Doom 2? Seems like there will be no keys, no ammo pickups, no trees and most of decorations... 0 Share this post Link to post

Spectre01 Posted January 13, 2017 That's a strange limitation but making a fun map with only Doom 2 monsters would be easier than mapping for UDoom. The only enemies of value lost would be the Caco and Cyber, but every other role is filled fine by Doom 2 dudes. 0 Share this post Link to post
