[WIP] Hellbrary 2

A successor to my 2011 map Hellbrary..

Hopefully I should be able to finish this one map this year.

Looks cool!
Maybe a bit empty, but it's still a wip map...

Where the hell are the books?
Pun intended

lol Mionic, there will be plenty of books.

Is this meant to be played with Brutal Doom?

lol Grazza, I doubt it since I used sprite replacements for the wintery outdoor decorations. Unless someone is savvy enough to turn off the DECORATE stuff in the file.

But again, it's generally meant for limit removing.

Looks very nice Glaice, is the map geared more towards exploring?

Edit: just played your first Hellbrary, slightly lacking in detail which I can see from the screenshots is not going to be an issue here. You did get the gameplay spot on thou, I had great fun, got a bit mad towards the end! Liked the plasma gun secret.

I was going for a somewhat nonlinear design and I am going to make sure HB2 has a less linear design.



Starting area has a cityscape behind it now. Image is without fog on.

Further touchups behind the start point..

I haven't forgotten about this, I have putting bits and pieces of work onto the level. Most recent is working my way to the northern wing.

Limit removing? But it has fog!

Maybe it has a painstakingly fog-ified COLORMAP.

That's a bonus if you use a GL port, you can still play it in Boom-vanilla based ports.

@Grain of Salt: It's the use of MAPINFO's "OutsideFog" and "OutsideFogDensity".

This is still being worked on.

Looking smart sir!
